10/10

Good hostel. Location was about 10-15 minute walk from what would be considered the centre (Piazza Maggiore) and on quite a busy street - not reflected in the noise levels though. I think having physical, metal keys added to the noise because people were banging them on the door when trying to open it etc. other than that, noise levels were good. Good bathroom amenities in all 3 spaces. It was a good place to stay as a solo traveller - it felt safe. I didn’t have the breakfast but to be included and such a good mix was good.

I loved staying here. It's in the center of the city so super convenient, the people that work here are very friendly and helpful, all the rooms and bathrooms are cleaned daily, and it has a really cozy vibe, like staying in a friend's apartment.

Very nice hostel, exceptionally clean. I do like when bathrooms are separate from the rooms. The toilets are very clean and nice water pressure, feels like a home. Staff is very attentive. Only stayed one night, but it was a good experience. Rooms were nice and facilities had a good vibe. Breakfast is simple but nice. The only issue is that they had no parking support, as advertised on the hostel profile. Parked at the train station and walked, which is not close but worked.

A very nice hostel with spacious rooms and comfortable beds. Breakfast provided which is excellent. Good location. The only downside is the lack of bathrooms, only three which are often being used. Really need to provide separate toilets from showers.

I liked the vibe of the hostel. Very wondefully designed and it encourages people to socialize. The bunk beds don't make noise when you move through them. The hostel is clean, the showers and bathrooms are nice, and, staff is helpful, and there are activites scheduled everyday to entertain the travelers! Keep note that while the maps location of the hostel is accurate, there is no sign at all that exposes the hostel's location. Only a small label at the building directory will tell you you are in the right place. The hostel is in the 1st floor (2nd floor for Americans, Italy has a zero floor!)

Over all it was alright, the place got a pleasant style and is very clean. Just a few small things, the curtain covering my bed at dormetry was just a bit too small to fully cover it. Electricity disappeared in our room in the morning for a while. Having to pay for a towel didn't feel right either.

Ho recentemente soggiornato all'ostello Dopa e devo dire che la struttura è accogliente, pulita e ben organizzata. Nelle stanze condivisi i letti sono all'interno di "cabine" con tendine per la privacy. Gli armadietti si chiudono a chiave e sono dotati di presa interna per lasciare in carica i dispositivi personali. Altre prese anche vicino ai singoli letti, dotati di lampada personale per la notte. Il personale è cordiale e disponibile. La zona comune è carina: sala relax, cucina con frigo, bagni e docce spaziose. Inoltre la colazione inclusa, semplice, è un valore aggiunto. Consiglio questo ostello a chi è in cerca di un buon soggiorno.

Je ne suis restée qu'une seule nuit et je serais bien restée plus car l'auberge n'est pas immense mais tres bien conçue, la déco est originale, les lits confortables, le petit dejeuner sympa et le personnel adorable. Je la recommande vraiment !
