Hostels in Italy

I booked this hostel from October 29th to November 14th of 2025. It was my first hostel (pretty much) and first time solo traveling. I needed a place cheap where to stay for 2 weeks. I thought that the fact that it was an old convent was cool. I was in boarding school back in Cuba (worst than this hostel), so I knew I could do it. On top of everything I stayed in a 16 mix bed. The smells was the first...

Definitely not a modern hostel but still a fair place to stay at. It’s very central and good if all you need is a place to sleep and to shower. The environment is a kinda dark which made me feel a bit unsafe, since I was in a mixed dorm and felt a little uncomfortable, but that’s just personal experience and not the hostels fault. The hostel is what you’d expect from one, with the essentials you need

It’s a fine hostel to stay in Florence and quite well located. The facilities were also good with separate bathrooms and showers. I stayed at a 16 people mixed dorm, and although the amount of people, it didn’t feel suffocating or hot, due to the AC. From personal experience, there were times that i felt unsafe and quite anxious staying at a mixed dorm, yet that is not the hostels fault. It’s what...

i LOVED this hostel! despite the funky smells in the bathroom (not too bad though). the building itself is so gorgeous, with a lot of space and beautiful ceilings and floors. the room’s ensuite was tucked away enough to not disturb sleep, and had plenty of showers, toilets & sinks for the 9 other girls i shared the room with! the lockers were also relatively large. it’s also situated in a great location...

The guy at check-in was speedy and got into our rooms in short order. We booked the cheapest 22 person room, and it's much more tolerable than you'd think. Clean beds, ok showers, communal kitchen for basic cooking with pots and pans. Close proximity (2 blocks) to the bridge crossing the Arno River for all the sight seeing.

Stayed in the huge 22 bed room. Not actually as bad as expected, it's like a military barracks style but didn't actually get too stuffy. One big minus is there aren't any power outlets near the bunks. Everyone plugs into a power strip next to the door. Dealbreaker imo, for security and convenience (wake up alarms..)

The only reason it's not a 1/5 is because of the price and location. You get what you pay for, I guess. Not sure if it was just bad luck, but my room didn't have any hot water lol so um yea have fun showering at 2am. There is ZERO noise isolation from outside so the room is insanely noisy. No towel. The bunkbed's steps are shaky and noisy.

1 star for the location near Termini 2nd star: cheap, the receptionist was friendly 3 star: private bathroom, common room and a microwave. deductions: no warm water. I addressed the issue and someone was sent to fix it but it only lasted a day. I shower twice a day when I spend most of the day walking. stayed a few days and only two showers were warm. the rest was lukewarm at best. I think there was...

There's no hot water, and the kettle in the kitchen is too dirty to use.

There's no kitchen area and they need to turn on the heating.

It's fine. Maybe they should have sheets because the comforter only irritated me. It's also not good not having 24-hour reception, since if there's an issue, you can't call, make a complaint, or request a room change.

The bed is quite small, air conditioner isnt working well, kind of hot. Seperare bathroom in your room. The most stupid thing is there is a late check in fees even though you have contacted them through directly phone call.

We were accidentally ending up staying here for a night. The service is outragously good! We had some puppy friends in the morning. Bathrooms were acceptable (for average people it was clean, I am a professional, so I see details). The location has no public servixe access which is quite a lack for me. I can imagine it is a perfect stay for backpacker wonderers. I loved the decoration and the soul...

Cheers to y all!! Especially to Gabriel and Rita, we only had one night there but really felt at home with everyone there and had the best of times. Beds are comfy, good showers and a absolutely amazing staff!! We recommend 100%! Thanks again, we ll be back one day for sure! Gerome e Fortuna

Very convenient and good stay option with garden. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Beach is at 5 minutes walking distance.

One of the best Sunset 5 minutes away. Great staff members and very good accomodations. Thanks so much for everything

I really enjoyed my stay here. The breakfast was delicious, and I had plenty of space in the 10 bed dorm, and my bed was very comfortable. The hostel is in an ideal location, near the beach, nature and also shops. The staff were friendly and helpful, and sold me a bus ticket back to Pisa on my day of check out. If you are coming by bus from Pisa, organise yourself so that you know which bus ticket...

This upgraded hostel facility is an excellent venue for accessing the beach and local cycling trails in the area. Spacious rooms, friendly staff, a first class dining hall with professional chef and waiter, five minute walking distance to the beach, air conditioning, bicycle storage, and expansive lawn around the building are what characterize this facility. Lots of shops, restaurants, and grocery...

I liked the location, it is just perfect, city centre and 5 min walk from the train station. The price was reasonable. What I didn’t like is that the place absolutely uncomfortable to eat your meals, I don’t even mean to cook it, just warm up and have a cup of tea. There’s a microwave and a kettle on the ground floor, but there’s no shared dishes and cups, you could probably ask for plastic ones at...

A nice place to relax, good location! Professional work of the management staff, good approach to customers.

Pretty nice hostel with the great location. Modern style, cafe at the lobby, elevator, air conditioner. Stuff at the reception was great! Rooms was full. And as always available problems with uncultured roomates. Bonus: 6 person in single room and 6 different opinions about air conditioner :)

Seems to be the only big hostel around in Trieste. The location and service is absolutely fine, pretty good actually. But the rooms are a downer. 12 bed dorm with a tiny AC in one corner that definitely is not sufficient for the whole room. Tiny bathroom. The atmosphere in the hostel is a bit boring. Friday night a caraoke evening with almost no attendance (fully booked hostel), nothing on Saturday...

Staff was super nice. I only stayed one night, but found the shower situation slightly annoying (water everywhere in the bathroom after 30 seconds of showering). Unlike other comments say, they now allow you to stay in the bar without consuming anything as long as it’s not super busy, and there’s an outside area that you can be in without ordering anything

Decent for the price. Close to stations. Rooms are full, 12 people in a room. I got unlucky and had some very unpleasant and inconsiderate roommates (poor hygiene and snorers/multiple alarms that they didn’t turn off) The shower wasn’t great and bathroom was cramped. I didn’t shower there as it was a single night and I just needed a bed. Storage is spacious. Beds have poor privacy. There are big...

I had a really nice stay at this hostel. The volunteers and staff were very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was welcoming. The tour with Spyro’s was especially great, very informative and interesting, and it helped me understand the city much better. The accommodation itself was very good for the price. If you’re just looking for a comfortable place to stay with everything you need and a good...

I was able to stay at this hotel for one night. It was a lovely stay! The location is absolutely perfect. It’s a 10-minute walk from the port (and therefore the Genoa Aquarium) and also from Piazza Ferrari. The rooms were clean, and so were the beds! I highly recommend it. Thank you.

Everything was absolutely great! The hostel has an incredibly friendly and cheerful staff — everyone smiles, helps with any question, and speaks good English. Breakfast is free and includes cereal with milk and toasts. There are three bathrooms with showers. The kitchen is very well equipped — you can cook anything you want! There are all kinds of utensils: spatulas, spoons, forks, knives, cutting...

What a great hostel to stay at - especially for younger people! Very nicely located, rooms were clean, free breakfast and the atmosphere was just so nice! Met great people there that I hung out with during my stay. An unforgettable experience:) definitely recommend it for any solo traveler!

Great stay at Manena Hostel! I stayed at Manena Hostel and had a really good experience. The place was very clean and well-kept—especially appreciated how they dedicate time between 11:00 AM and 1:30 PM for cleaning, which keeps everything fresh. The rooms had fans, which helped a lot in the summer heat. Just note: the lockers need a small padlock, but you can easily get one at reception with a €...

The staff is wonderful, polite, friendly, and very kind. Everything is very clean, and the beds are comfortable. They speak several languages ​​and are very good at explaining everything, even giving you information about Genoa. 100% recommended. I really enjoyed the experience.

This is a great and inexpensive hostel to stay at! It was super nice to have a free meal (pasta) cooked by Nonna and sit with the other travelers to eat. Reception was really nice and helpful, specifically Alex and Mimi!

We loved our stay at the hostel, it's a great base to explore Naples and you meet other young international people. Check in/out is really easy. I found the garden super nice, you can sit outside and play card games ecc. The rooms are clean and the beds comfy. Only the bathrooms would profit from some investment, like there's not always a shelf to put things on, but they were always clean. Overall...

This was my first ever visit to Napoli and my first time staying in a Hostel. It was SO lovely to stay here, as the staff were friendly and helpful. I appreciated the free dinners by Nonna, and it was a lovely environment for meeting new people. It was nice to meet some people who said they always stay here when in Napoli, as they love the atmosphere. The shuttle from the main station was also nice...

I wasn’t expecting much considering some of the other reviews here, and I don’t necessarily agree with the age limit, but ignoring those things, I think this was one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at. Good vibes, free meal which gets everyone together on an evening on the massive terrace, subsidised trips around Pompeii and Sorrento, shuttles to and from the station every day, and the staff...

dont listen to the people who cant read here - the age limit is shown on booking.com and you will have an incredible stay there when you are below 35 and a cool person ;) free food(!!), great garden, nice offers for trips. all you wish for.

Hygiene and smelly, but outside was pretty good, though. The host was friendly and pleasant; you can also get a lot of company.

It was so near to the train station and the Lake too The lounge area is big to relax and the rooms are clean

Great location relative to Garda Lake

It's a nice convenient hostel that is easy to reach from the train station. Breakfast is basic and has good juices and some breads. I saw parking outside, so it might be a good stopping point on a road trip.

Great location and very good facilities Very smart hostel, ideal for summer, has room terrace to sit out. Very easy access to Railway station. Peaceful small town, pretty. Small kitchen with basics for self catering. Public area with chairs to relax

Best hostel I've ever been in (more times). Staff friendly, prices reasonable, rooms big and spacy. Nice rooftop terrace where you can enjoy your drink from hostel's bar. Breakfast - coffee, juice, biscuits and toasts. Really recommended! Love it there

Hostel Archi Rossi was the best hostel I've ever stayed in. The staff was really nice and I liked that there was free coffee :) the location is really nice.

Snug and quiet hostel in Florence. If you are looking for a social hostel, this is not the place for you. This is a calm hostel 5 minute walk from train station. The shared dorm was massive with many beds, the cafe area is self serve with unlimited warm drinks and orange juice as well. For me, the main highlight of this place is the outdoor seating area, you can sit here with a warm drink and tea and...

Perfect location! They clean everything every day and they are very save, you have to show your key before you can come in! Only downside is that it has very thin walls so there is sound everywhere and the toilet seat was sort of broken.

The place is clean, nicely decorated and good attention from Enricco. Has free coffee machine and juices. Close to the train station of Florence. The lockers space are so good and better than other hostels I've stayed. The bed was really comfortable. I wish it only had that extra privacy with like curtains on the bed. But nothing to lessen the value of the place.

Very lovely place located just 15 min from the main center of Florence. The rooms were big and the bed comfortable. Very affordable prices and kind workers. Free coffee/tea and juice all day. Big kitchen with cutlery, plates, bowls, etc. No stove, only microwaves, free hot water and toaster. The garden is large and is perfect for sipping coffee in the morning. Very safe for solo female traveler. I...

From the very moment we walked into the hostel, we were greeted with a smile and throughout our stay the staff were incredibly helpful and patient. The hostel is very clean and their facilities are always kept in pristine condition, with common areas like bathrooms stocked up with hand soap/toilet roll etc. They helped us to book a private taxi to the airport the night before our departure, easing...

They changed my hostel when I arrived there at middle of the night. But it was still a good substitute. I stayed at borgo ripa urban travel. It was better located. Rooms have single beds and no privacy like in the other dormitories. But still their staff was friendly and overall it was satisfactory experience. Good thing was it also had Beddit and water cleaning shower for toilets.

It was a great stay there as a solo traveler. The staffs were pretty friendly. Unlike the other hostel, they don't have any access card but their rooms and washroom are all have password and they will give you the password written in a paper.

Not very good experience. The room is not very tidy, and the air in toilet is not fresh as there is no window in the toilet. The mattress is very soft and cannot support me.

Receptionist quite friendly and helpful. The bed very good to sleep😁

Everything is nice, just the room is a bit cold for me, maybe because of winter :)

Average stay and food , . Average stay and food , . Average stay and food , .

This hostel is in a perfect, quiet spot right near the metro and bus. The staff is super friendly and helped me plan my trip to Vesuvius! Free breakfast and secure lockers are a huge plus. They also host a 5€ aperitivo dinner with snacks which is a great way to meet people. The bathrooms are plentiful and clean. Just a heads-up: towels cost an extra 3€, which wasn't in the original description. Had...

Excellent hostel. Friendly staff with excellent local knowledge

Very friendly welcome and lots of communication beforehand to help us find the hostel. We stayed in their apartment. It was clean (a few ants on the floor in the tv area but they didn’t bother us) and spacious. Good value for a family of 5.

The hostel is very close to the metro and bus stations. The staff is friendly, the breakfast is good, the rooms are comfortable, and the bathrooms are clean.

The place was very clean, the free breakfast was good as well. The public areas are very nice

I like this hostel very much. The reception is very good and recommended me many routes to visit beautiful Naples. When they learned that I was going to Pompeii, the front desk also recommended routes to me. Their courtyard is the most beautiful courtyard of any hostel I have ever stayed in!

Two Ducks Hostel exceeded my expectations for a hostel and especially with some of the reviews I have read. They allowed us to store our luggage when we arrived early. Rooms were large and very clean. We saw them cleaning when we arrived as well. This hostel has an elevator which was amazing as most older buildings do not. When other guests arrived on day 2, the bathroom was clearly more dirty but...

Great place to stay for young people travelling. Great location and comfortable beds. Anis welcomed us at reception and could not have been nicer.

Great hostel, very helpful receptionist and in that price this is the best place to stay in Rome. The rooms are large and very clean and it's quiet. Near to the termini station.

+ Good location (near main station) + Good room for the price - No towels (even for additional price, they just don’t have it). Quite dissapointed, cause in the pictures they show towels on beds. - Cold in the room, there were additional blankets in the wardrobe, but it was still cold - Room had a shower, but not a toilet. There’s only one toilet and it’s shared.

Location is very good. But a little difficult to find it. Room are nice.

Very nice BnB. Good location. Restaurants, shops, metro, bus station are all nearby. Beds are very comfortable, room is spacious, everything is neat and tidy. The owner is a quick responder and helps at any time of the day.

San Lorenzo Guest House offers value for its accommodation. It is a small hotel the single bed was smaller than a twin size, but still sufficient. The pillows were a bit flat and I couldn't find how to turn off the lights from the bed so had to walk toward the door to do so. The neighborhood is a bit on the rough and tumble side with all the graffiti, etc. although it is probably as safe as other...

What a hospitalité What a kind and happy people with lots of willingness and motivation Kitchen well equiped Where you can cook your own food , parking is easy just infront of the hotel , rooms are big and clean and modern Local transport are just near of the place We are so happy that we choosed you and we met Thank you so much for your service Good luck for everything you do in life Sincerly, Sajan...

Perfect place..... i ll plan for new visite and rest time on it

I really enjoyed my stay at San Lorenzo One , The location is excellent, close to public transport, Termini station, and many cafés and restaurants in the lively San Lorenzo area. The room was clean, comfortable, and offered great value for money. The staff were very kind and helpful, especially Amel, who made the stay even more pleasant with her professionalism and friendliness. I would definitely...

We had a nice stay in Rome, the hostel is cheap and the San Lorenzo district is great, many nice people, students, many bars and pizzerias and stuff. Toilets we're a little disgusting but in gereral it's very okay, there's a kitchen, people are nice... We can recommend :)

When I was planning my trip to Rome, Italy, I looked for guest houses that were closer to the attractions I wanted to see. There were numerous options, and after careful consideration, I chose San Lorenzo guest house. Given that I am a student, the rates on the internet appeared to be reasonable. However, when I attempted to pay online numerous times prior to my arrival, it would not function. I attempted...

Extremely clean and comfortable rooms with 3 single beds and an en-suite bathroom. Every hostel experience depends on who you get roomed with but having such lovely rooms helps! Perfect location for getting to the station, or if you don’t mind a bit of a walk into the centre.

Stayed in a double room.everything was in perfect order .Hostel located very close to main train station c.10 minutes walk.Very clean and good value.

Probably the best hostel I've stayed at - modern with single beds, great bathroom, and immaculately clean. Plus the restaurant downstairs is fantastic and offers 10% off for guests.

What's not to love from this hostel? It is really clean, the dormitory doesn't feel like a dormitory at all. Don't think that it will use the bunk bed that moves when the bunk mate is moving, nope. It just feels like sleep in a 3 star hotel's triple room but with strangers. I got my own bed, with an ensuite bathroom. A lit bit drawback is the resepsionist not available 24hr, so you have to contact...

Convenient location, close to the city center. Gated area, so we felt safe even when no one was there, which was from afternoon to morning. We could easily enter the territory with the room card. Before check-in, a kind employee accepted our bags for storage, which she even brought to the room itself. The room was in good condition, quite fresh but a little dusty. The shower room was dirty and moldy...

Booked a hostel and got a far superior experience to some of the hotels I’ve stayed before!! Our room was large, clean with air conditioning, lovely private bathroom with shower, towels and basics. Overlooking a comper parking area, a short walk to Verona city centre, it was delightful and we would absolutely stay again!!!

Staff were really helpful. The atmosphere was very relaxed and quiet. This was a completely spur-of-the-moment trip, and I was very happy I made it.

A really nice place. Been there on 2 different occasions and both times have been great. Very lively! The second time I did end up in a room with a guy that snored excessively, but that's not the hostels fault.

Super nice staff, they gave us 6 bedroom dorm for two people (45€). Bike friendly, they let us store ours inside. Bathrooms are clean and location is good. Unfortunately, breakfast was a joke: they offer only bread and juice (but then again not too far from the rest of Italian included breakfast "colazione"). Pricey restaurant, would recommend to have dinner elsewhere.

Nice environment for a hostel. Not too noisy don't know if they is hostel policy it just well behaved people.

The pillows are not the best. At least it's quite clean and quite beautiful as structure. Food is quite decent. The staff is nice and helpful.

The room was very clean, and I liked there were things like a hairdryer, soap, etc.

The hostel is very nicely situated at a quiet street. The staff is very helpful. The bistro is very nice with reasonable prices. The breakfast for 6:50€ is also good. The rooms are of a good standard and there are two showers and a toilet in the private bathroom.

I had such a great stay here! The place is really close to the city center and super easy to get around. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. I also loved that you can store your luggage after check-out for free. The beds are comfy, the rooms are clean, and they clean them every day. There’s a kitchen where you can cook or heat up food, and the common area is really nice especially the balcony...

I stayed two nights at this cozy, nice hostel as a solo business traveler, in the dorms. The hostel itself had a nice outdoor and indoor upper deck terrace, allowing for chilling and perhaps talking with others. It also includes a fridge and kitchen devices for use. The Wifi is good. The room itself is simple, quite small, and dark, with a single plug next to the bed. No curtains for privacy, yet there...

Great hostel, the bedsheets are included, towels cost only 2€. The personal cabinets are inside the rooms and they will give the key for free! Each bed has also a small personal shelf above each bed, which is very useful. There is also soap in the shower and, overall, good hygene level. The workers are very friendly and the place overall is also nice to just go and grab a drink. Buffet breakfast at...

Reception was friendly and helpful. I booked this hostel as it was located near Milan Linate Airport. As my flight was early, I used the nearby airport bus and was able to check out at the 24 hour reception. Shower towel was paid though

Good enough. Clean rooms, nice personnel. Lockers are provided.

They wanted 2 euro per person for early breakfast, but at the start they said they would do it for free

New Generation Hostel Rome Center exceeded all my expectations with its clean facilities, friendly atmosphere, and central location. Special recognition goes to Andrea, whose exceptional hospitality made my stay truly memorable. I wholeheartedly recommend this hostel for anyone visiting Rome.

The staff was friendly and the location was good, but the air conditioning didn't work.

A great option for female solo travelers, according to my experience the area was safe, near to most attractions and most of the staff were nice, willing to help and friendly. I enjoyed my stay here, would recommend!

The reception is super! It is the hostel and you cannot expect the cleanliness as a hotel with this price. The toilet is ok and location is perfect, between the main station Termini and the sightseeing spots!. Love this

It was good! Very near to Naples port! But at night lot of noise from road and traffic had a disturbed sleep!

This is a no fuss hotel, great location, price,have all that you need. It’s clean and if you don’t have a plan, the reception are friendly and will recommend things to see and do.

There is a convenience store nearby and you can buy water at the front desk. Breakfast was simple but delicious. The facilities are old, but the staff were all very friendly and personable. Thank you.

One of the best hotels in the world, with breakfast included, TV, washing machine, arcade and other entertainment facilities mentioned in the reviews in the public space, the staff is as friendly as friends, which reminds me of the atmosphere of Friends. I think it is worth coming here. I was refreshed when I saw the reviews of the hotel. It is so satisfying. Even though I am very introverted, I am...

I can only say that this is a perfect hotel. It has everything you need and the staff are very friendly. If your budget is not enough, this is a highly recommended youth hostel. I will come back next time I come to Naples.

Great hostel on a budget with amazing service and breakfast. Good access to public transport and attractions

This hostel completely exceeded my expectations for its price point. It's located in a monastery, which you can actually visit, and they offer a free breakfast of coffee and a croissant. The location is super convenient, close to both the train station and major attractions, making it perfect for backpackers like me. The only downside is that the soundproofing in the rooms isn't great.

Location good, but no curtains for the bed, need to leave your key everytime you leave the hostel, lack of commen area only kitchen and a outdoor garden. If you look for a social hostel choose another

Comfortable stay with breakfast provided. Overall quite good experience

During summer, there's no air conditioning in the room, so it can get quite hot.

The staff was friendly and there was no shortage of toilets or showers. It was a special experience to sleep in an old building.

The location is perfect 👍🏻 very close to all the beautiful places in the historic part of the city! Please make sure that you check in online prior arrival to avoid extra charges. It’s easy and takes around 2-3 minutes of your time. The front desk staff speaks English very well. The rooms are spacious with 2 fans for comfortable sleep at night and huge lockers to store your belongings securely (the...

It is located in a convenient location only 5-10 mins from central station which is next to Garibaldi station and near the bus station. I arrived by bus from another part of Italy and took the airport bus when I left, both locations easy to walk to. Being so close to the station was convenient for day trips, eg Pompeii, Vesuvius, Herculaneum. The neighborhood is a typical city centre location with...

Good one but the location is a bit scary

The room is okay. The staff is fairly nice. It near the train station with a lot of pickpockets nearby which was quite dangerous for people who travel alone. It was a bit hard to find the hostel. The breakfast is fine. I just stay for one night and leave early in the morning, so not much to comment.

Everything was really nice except they don't have air conditioner.

Hostel was very near to central station. Just walkable to port and shopping street. Important thing is very near to the famous pizzeria michale . Room was spacious and Ac was good. Bathroom and toilets are very clean. Receptionist is very friendly they give city tourist map and explained clearly. I recommend this hostel very affordable to stay. Only concern is bathroom is having only one for a floor...

Location is fine, few minutes walk from central train station. Breakfast included which was plain but good. Nearby has a medium supermarket which able to provide what you need. The room I stayed was quite noisy even mid night. It is noted that the hostel is at the corner of the streets. Downstairs seems to be a flea market from the morning, it could be a bit messy when it's night.
