I really enjoyed my stay at Dopa Hostel. The atmosphere was pleasant, filled with nice people, both hosts and other guests. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly, and did their best to make everyone feel comfortable. The included breakfast was simple but nice, and we could also join a common dinner for a small price, which was also a great way to connect with others. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable and I slept really well there. Despite there being only three bathrooms, I never had to wait too long, and they were always super clean. Although it’s a small hostel, it had everything I needed. Its cozy size created a social and friendly atmosphere, but it never felt overwhelming or intrusive. I definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Bologna!

THE best hostel I've ever stayed at (and I've stayed in quite a few). Staff is brilliant, kind, extremely helpful and friendly, very well trained and they go above and beyond to attend any requests or support you with anything. Room was clean and comfortable, bathroom also clean. Nice vibe in the common areas with people hanging out and having fun. They offer free coffee and fruits 24/7 and the Breakfast was a lot better than I'd expected for a hostel. Location is great, walking distance from main touristic points and a 10/12 min walk from the train station. You have restaurants and supermarkets nearby as well. Couldn't recommend them more!!!

The hostel is super clean, I loved that each bed comes with its own light and a plug socket. The bathrooms have soap and a hairdryer and they’re always clean. I really enjoyed working on the terrace and I met some amazing people in my dormitory. I’d definitely recommend this hostel.

This is a great accommodation option, set in the lovely mountains, on the Via Degli Dei and the German Gothic Line of World War 2. It is 5 kms from the train station at Vado, and 4kms from Monzuno. There are buses to both towns. For an inexpensive hot meal (takeaway) option, I would strongly recommend Sonia next door. You will need to book ahead and the host's will give you contact numbers. I tried all 3 accommodations at the residence - tent, bungalow, and apartment -, and they were all cozy and inexpensive. The host couple are most hospitable and helpful. Great value!

All hostels in Bologna

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
