For a few euros more you could probably get a better place to stay in Bologna. But then - if you have your own car and you're not so picky about clean rooms and breakfast, this hostel is a good place to start your morning journeys to Bologna, Ferrara, Modena, Rimini and even to San Marino.
A little away from the central station but easy to take the bus. Very spacious in entire facility and I never felt like I was in a small space. I would stay here again in the future!

ostello un pò decentrato; per il resto tutto tranquillo; compagnia tutto ok; a giorni proveremo l'ostello margellina di napoli
Trere is a lot, a lot, a lot of noise and the staff dont say anything!! This hostel is too far. No computer, only Wi-Fi. No kitchen and the breakfast begin very early, is finish at 9,30...we are in holidays!!...look it a army barracks.
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.
The bad's aren't good as the bathroom.
Bit out of town but near bus stop. Multi-lingual and efficient staff, Somers more power sockets would be welcome.
