Bergamo Youth Hostel

That hostel was really nice and it had everything you needed! Too bad they closed it! Prices were very good, actually the best value for money, while also offering free breakfast and room facilities. The position of it was perfect as it was close to many spots and there was also the public transport station that was located right at the entrance (and it allowed people to travel to the city center). The property also offered shuttle service to the airport (for the small price of €20). I've been there in August 2022...

Last minute booking in Bergamo.||Don’t have too much to say on this place apart from, only stay here if you are getting an early / late flight from Bergamo airport… if even that ! The location of this hostel is extremely far out of everything. It is doable to walk to the main attractions but with bags etc no a hope. ||Despite the location, the hostel is well equipped. The staff here are extremely nice and welcoming and the main floor / common area that holds few comfy seats and the breakfast area.||I was on the second floor, in a 6 bed mixed dorm. A very basic dorm indeed yet it did have an en suite. I did get a single bed to myself but overall it was more a place to lay your head and head off early / late.||The lockers are very tight and most are broken ( for locking purposes ) ||The breakfast is surprisingly very good for Italy lots of selections! There is also a rooftop terrace which is pretty nice on a sunny morning. Kitchen is equipped fairly basically but would do well for cooking up some good grub.||However do note a lot of people staying here are just there for the night so expect an early awaking for people leaving to catch flights etc. ||There isn’t much social if any here. A DJ plays some nights but unless a crowd is here it is very sad.. ||Would only recommend for those catching a flight / arriving in late. Or if you do not mind a hostel 40mins out of the city then definitely check it.||

Very nice hostel but it was extremely warm in the room, even with fan and opened balcony. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was normal but there were no curtains in the shower. Breakfast was delicious, I could choose between croissants and other pastries and some cereals. Fresh coffee and other drinks were available. Thank you so much for your hospitality in Bergamo :)

Easy to access by bus ( until 8:30 pm) or a 50 minute walk from the train station. The views are stunning. There are church bells ringing throughout the day from 7am - 10pm Most of the staff there are amazingly helpful and great to talk to. The kitchen is limited and worn, with 2 hot plates, 2 refrigerators and a microwave. The breakfast is a small classic youth hostel breakfast. Laundry can be done for you for a charge (€5 at the time of writing this) The rooms are very dated basic and in some cases are in need of repair. There are Limited plug sockets in the dorms and rooms that are almost identical to ones I stayed in 20 years ago.

Great view from our bedroom balcony of the mountains and Bergamo old town. Breakfast limited but tasty! Will stay here again as the view from the rooms were spectacular. Rooms are as expected for a hostel bunk beds and a double but hostel type. No coffee from filter when asked for more machine took ages pour out! Essentially all I can think of ref what’s wrong.

Great place, excellent facilties and lovely complimentary breakfast. The staff are most helpful with everything especially times of the buses and places to go. The rooms are basic but well heated and the beds are comfortable. Nice thick blankets too. The only downside is the location but the buses come regularly and on time so just plan around them and you'll be fine. The pics are from the rooftop terrace. I would highly recommend staying here if you're on a budget.

(I would give a 2.5, but it isn't an option.) Oh my gosh, my trip here over the summer was absolutely miserable. First of all, the rooms are either extremely hot or extremely cold. There were strange stains on each mattress and sheets, inappropriate writing on the bed frames, and the location was quite strange. The parts that made it tolerable were there, but there were few. The staff were quite nice and there were a fair share of attractions and refreshments near and in the hostel, and the views from a few rooms were nice. Overall, it was tolerable, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you enjoy mosquito bites, extreme temperatures, and questionable parts of each room.

Overall experience was good, the rooms are neat just a bit small. Place is clean , nice view , relaxing area, friendly staff. I just think that the shower in the bathroom wasn't good, it's an open shower so the whole bathroom floor gets wet when showering. Which results in you having to dry the floor with the "mop cloth".

I wouldn't call this a youth hostel -I stayed four nights with my 22 year old son and most of the guests were 30 or over. Couples, singles, only one family with small children and quite a few 50+ travelers. Lots of Italians but a variety of languages. It's not "close" to the airport- 15-20 minute drive (we rented a car), probably 45 minutes plus by bus. Clean, comfortable beds, has a kitchen you can cook in (no oven) but cook before 7 pm or there won't be room. Our last night some idiots burned what they were cooking and the smoke alarm tripped a fire alarm for the entire building at 8 pm. The idiots in the kitchen just laughed. Not pleasant to say the least. The "breakfast " is: coffee, white bread rolls, croissants (known as brioche in Bergamo), plain yogurt, sliced cheese (bland), sliced ham, butter, granola, choc. cereal, cornflakes, two kinds of jam, honey, chocolate spread and juice. There's milk and soy drink. No fruit. No vegetables. No whole wheat bread or toaster. No hot cereal or eggs. Good value for money and very helpful staff! You can buy a 24 hour bus ticket for Bergamo only (which includes the funicular) at the front desk which is a good idea to explore Citta Alta. There was hot water and good water pressure and the towels are large enough to cover a person who is 180 cms tall (about 5 ft, 10 inches). I took off a star because even though I asked for two twin beds (and received an email confirmation that my request was received) we had a double bed the first night. We were moved to a room with three single beds for the rest of the time but one bed had to be moved away from the wall in order to open the door to the room! Also it was too hot!! Which is clearly better than too cold in a mountain town in Northern Italy in February but still was a little dehydrating.

This youth hostel is a part of the international youth hostel association, and is close to the Orio al Serio Airport, where you can get cheap Ryanair flights. Bergamo is a nice town to stay and explore, but you can also catch a bus to Milan. The hostel is basic, but located on the side of the mountain with a nice view over the town. There's a laundry, dining room, TV and conference room, and all the bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms. Prices are around 17 - 3 Euros depending on what type of room you're after. Reception is great - they'll answer all your questions.
