Hostel Vacanza

Nothing special
Not really a hostel at all. You rock up to the cafe where the lady that runs the hostel then gets her friend to walk you a few blocks to an apartment building where you a shown a very basic room, next to which is a very basic bathroom. Both are quite clean, however. We were only here for one night as we changed hostels (not because it was so bad, but because we had a booking prearranged). Breakfast in the morning was a stale croissant, which I passed on. We asked for a bit of milk to go with our self-bought cereal and were flatly refused. The lady was a bit uninterested in us as travelers, and we felt like a bit of a burden. If you're after a place to crash, with absolutely no social interaction, then this will suffice.

Not great. The reception is a few blocks away, and impossible to find if you arrive in the middle of the night, although I was not informed this would be a problem upon booking. I was let in by a fellow traveller. There is no secure storage space in the hostel itself, the bathrooms are filthy, the staff are unfriendly and unhelpful, and there is no kitchen. I'm not sure where the TV room was. There was a TV in the only other room besides the bathrooms and bedrooms, with really bad reception (except on the sports channel). This may have been it. Strongly unrecommended.
