Il Castello HOSTEL BOUTIQUE Reviews

Il Castello's location could not be more central and next to all the important monuments of the historic center of the lively city of Bologna, in northern Italy.

The Location

A half-hour's walk from the central bus station (where the Flixbus leaves its passengers), and after touring some of the most important -- and commercial -- streets of the city, you will arrive at the hostel. It must be said that parking or accessing it by public transport is not easy, due to its hyper-central location.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The rooms are so immaculate that they seem to be taken from a catalog -- something old -- from IKEA; too much perhaps to appreciate that unique atmosphere that reigns in hostels. There's a lack of color, a lack of youthful decoration; it would seem that you are in a nondescript apartment for rent, or maybe a hospital. It definitely looks like an Airbnb before a hostel. The rooms are all key, but some -- and here's a big bug of the hostel -- do not have lockers to leave things but simply a normal wardrobe, which remains open and does not serve to leave valuables. Most rooms do not have a bathroom inside and if they have bunk beds, the space is very small in them.

Outside the rooms are two shared bathrooms that are fairly clean, with acceptable showers and hand soap.

Common Spaces

There is a common kitchen but it cannot be used. The reason is not explained, it simply seems that hostel guests do not have that option available. A larger kitchen seems more like a decorative element. There is no other common place for enjoyment or sharing experiences, so this hostel has no atmosphere, and it is quite sad if you want to meet people. Of course it is the opposite of a party hostel.

Summary

If you are simply looking for a bed to sleep for one night in the always-crowded city of Bologna, this establishment may be an option. Now, if you are looking for something more like the social atmosphere of a downtown hostel, it is better to look for it somewhere else, because it does not exist here.
