“An 11 o clock curfew??”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2010
1
person found this review helpful

This hostel is very very pretty, located at the top of a cobblestoned hill. It's walkable from the town centre. An 11.30 curfew felt a bit limiting, especially to two 20 year old girls who haven't had a curfew in about 5 years. Breakfast was very basic, breadrolls, preserves and tea or hot chocolate. The showers in the girls dorm were communal. A pretty hostel, but not ideal for us.

“A very good value budget youth hostel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2010

The best thing of this hostel is the garden. Where you wake up and could listen to the singing of birds. And the breadfast and pasta is also good.

“Unexpectedly lovely for a Youth Hostel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2009

Set on a hill in the town centre of Verona, this youth hostel was once a private villa. Surrounded by gardens, it still maintains the feel of an old villa, although the rooms are standard dormitories. Don´t expect air-conditioning, and the breakfast is only composed of coffee, tea, bread, butter and jam...but it was a very inexpensive stay and comfortable. The breakfast room has a chimney that we imagine is used in the winter, which would give the place a cozy feel. The hostel is an easy walk to the centre and offers free parking. All in all, a very good stay for an August trip where we didn´t plan ahead for any sleeping accomodations.

“Very comfortable Youth Hostel only 17EUROs a night”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2008

This youth hostel was better than most in Italy. The old Villa in an amazing part of the city and reachable by the 73 bus from the station. Dinner is 8EUROS a night and all is homemade. A great atmosphere aswell.

  • Liked — Service with a smile and comfortable. The place was rustic
  • Disliked — the lockout
