Dopa Hostel

I had such a nice stay (: loved the communal kitchen where we had breakfast every morning, small and cosy. For me it was the perfect place to get to know new people. Homemade cake every day during my stay! Showers are clean. Loved the drawn map on the wall with recommendations!.

Great location. Very generous continental breakfast. Very affordable and very tasty family meals once or so a week cooked by hostel staff. Overall 9/10 for price, location & quality ratio A chill small hostel , home away from home. Think an affordable quality for what you paid for , B&b but with soul .

Had a great time at Dopa Hostel, where the staff has positive social vibes and is genuinely welcoming. The place was clean and comfortable throughout the stay. Also it is certainly located nearby most attractions and public transportation. It offers great value for money. The only downside for me was having a small lockes. Special thanks to all the amazing Dopa Staff

We enjoyed our stay here. The hostel is vivid and has nice interior design. The staff is super nice and you feel welcome right away. Also the breakfast buffet is varied and prepared with love for details. We will come back sometime!

Dominique and Paris are such great hosts! They were always kind and helpful. Pros: - AYCE simple European breakfasts (good coffee!) - spacious bathrooms - nicely designed rooms - comfy common area - accessible by an actual functioning lift - located near the relatively inexpensive university area and art museum - quiet neighborhood - straightforward walk to the bus and train stations Con: - a slightly longer walk from the tourist attractions I would stay here again if I’m back in Bologna!

The staff is very nice and very respectful and helpful, especially Dominique she’s amazing very welcoming and makes you feel comfortable just with her smile, of course also charlotte she seems kind of tough but you can tell she’s a nice person, i stayed there about a week i felt so comfortable while i was looking for accommodation everything is clean the people there are nice, and big shout out to the lady that comes in the morning and cleans she only speaks italian i tried my best talking in italian with her haha i wish her the best and for all of them. Thank you. And i do recommend it

A cute small stylish hostel in the outer city centre of beautiful Bologna. The location is really good and you can be at the train station or Piazza Maggiore (main square) within 15 minutes of walking. There is also a small grocery store across the road, so you have anything you may need close. I stayed two nights here and really liked the atmosphere - the owners and staff are very friendly, caring and don't hesitate to help you if you need anything, including giving you local tips for sightseeing or food experience. That also means the hostel attracts interesting and cool people who you can spend some time with, explore the city or just talk to about traveling and life. Exactly what I love. The first entry can be a bit of a hassle (ringing at the building's door, then again at the entry to the hostel for someone to let you in), but after you get the keycode and keys, it's easy. The bunk beds in the rooms are awesome - super sturdy, built from OSB boards so you have a lot of space and comfort, including your own privacy curtain, power plugs and a lockable locker (outside in the room). Even though the price for the night is more expensive than anywhere in the world I stayed, it does include a small continental breakfast. It's usually nothing amazing, except when someone from the staff makes a home made cake (oh yea, loved it). Unfortunately, I was unlucky - the A/C in the room broke when I arrived and I could not sleep in the 40°+ C degree hell both nights, which meant I was absolutely shattered and exhausted the third day in the morning when I had an important business presentation at the local conference :( The staff did apologise to me each day and it looked like they are trying to do something about it, but the maintenance people came to fix the A/C when I was already checking out (the third day) and I simply feel like there were many other better options - swap us with the people who complained their rooms are too cold, add some mechanical fans to our room, offer some form of compensation, etc. Everything was okay, but the pro-customer approach was a disappointment.

I had an amazing time here. The hostel is lovely, well decorated and the facilities were good. The bedrooms had curtains and lockers which was great although locker is small but that was fine for valuables. There is such a great vibe with the place as people hang out in the common room and the free breakfast allows you to easily speak to other people. Staff was very friendly and spoke to you. A proper family feel to this place and I couldn’t recommend it enough!! P.s slight con that it gets quite hot at night and there’s no AC in the bedrooms but I did go in the height of summer so this is to be expected

A very welcoming hostel, with a 5 euro two course meal that they occasionally make for dinner, along with free breakfast every morning. Sole problems included some bed bugs and a break-in into my rental car. If the experience otherwise hadn't been so overwhelmingly positive, I wouldn't have rated it so highly.
