Due Torri-San Sisto hostel is located 6 km north-east of this unique city - and not only for its spectacular high leaning towers and its 47 kilometers of porticoes (the longest in the world). This is the city where the Alma Mater, the first university in the world (1088), broke through the cultural darkness of the Middle Ages and left an artistic imprint and a legacy of cultural figures for all time. The two hostels here, both modern and functional, constitute an optimal base for discovering the city's cultural and artistic richness.
Bologna is also an excellent base for visiting other Italian art cities such as Florence, Venice, Verona, Padua, Mantua, Ferrara, Modena, Parma, Ravenna.
The hostel is a welcoming place in particular for young people, families, school trips and sport organizations. You will be welcomed by our staff that fluently speaks English, French and Spanish.
We offer our guests: free WiFi service, fax service, laundry, parking, pizza free delivery service, luggage room, various games such as Jenga, Chess, cards, book-swapping, machines with hot and cold drinks, rental bikes, postal service. Bus tickets and phone cards are sold. Basketball playground. We do not have meal service. POSSIBILTY OF CHAUFFEUR SERVICE 24/7. USING SLEEPING BAG IS FORBIDDEN.

| Needs to offer more variety for breakfast, and maybe some bowls rather than a cup for cereal! | ||

| The rooms and breakfast aren't bad. It's nice they call for pizza delivery (free) for you and there is a Coop nearby (12min walk). The washroom and showers were VERY DIRTY on the first floor. It was 37 degrees when I was there and I was constantly sticky from sunblock and bug spray but seeing how disgusting the washroom was, I preferred not to shower that's how bad it was. On my last day, I went to the secod floor washroom by chance and saw that it was much cleaner.

| I think the Hostel has great potential to be an awesome hostel, but it needs some proper management, specially concerning cleaning times and the overall cleanliness of the place (specially the toilets. Showers clog often, and the building must be left from 10h to 14h for cleaning, which is a long time. Aside from that, the vibe is really cool and chilled out. Rooms are big, with plenty of space and high ceilings. The staff is very friendly and, although the Hostel is a bit far from the city center, the bus service is quite efficient. | ||

| Bit out of town but near bus stop. Multi-lingual and efficient staff, Somers more power sockets would be welcome. | ||

| The person who worked at the front desk would not subtract the amount I paid online to book the room so I overpaid for the room. I paid 4.50 euros and then 20 euros a person after that. All other hostels I stayed in subtracted this cost. Thank you.
