Youth Hostel Bolzano

Great stay here. Location is excellent, 10 min walk into city centre, and right opposite the bus station. The staff were lovely and the rooms were perfect with AC, balcony and lots of luggage space. Breakfast was also great :)

The hostel is very close to the train station, the 3-person room was spacious and clean. The staff was super helpful in the booking process, we were arriving after 7 pm and they accommodated that so we could enter by ourselves. Also, we could book the 3-person room for 2 people which was very nice. I also liked the breakfast, nothing fancy but enough to choose from (multiple kinds of bread, yoghurt, tea/coffee, milk, several bread toppings). The road/trains can be a bit loud, so don’t forget to use ear plugs if you are sensitive to that.

The hostel's location is fantastic. Easy walk to take the cable car that goes to Ritten and many buses that go to many places in the region. Hostel provides fresh linen that we have to lay ourselves - 👍🏻👍🏻 it is also quite value for money. Thankfully there's such a hostel around 🥳

Terrible experience. I've never been to a youth hostel before where I was turned away because I arrived 10 minutes after 7pm, where they "close their computer" and can accept no more bookings. Impossible to reason with the receptionist who was adamant that I had to find somewhere else, and that it was impossible to simply check in tomorrow? I had cycled from Vienna to get here, and along the way was met with nothing but warmth. That is, until here, where I got the cold shower of dehumanization. The spirit of the youth hostel should be to welcome and accommodate travellers, especially those one long journeys. Clearly not the case for this hostel.

Same as Jack, they aren't Italians but German, if you arrived late then their working time, the remaining staff will simply refuse to let you in for the night and pay next morning. Very bad experience

Stayed here for 2 nights and it was a good experience. Hostel is very near the train and bus station. We had a room facing the bus station, wasn't noisy. The room was alright, clean, decent size, with free breakfast (minimalist type). My only issue is the shower pressure. It was really really dreadful. It could be only our room, on the 3rd floor. Otherwise, will not hesitate to recommend this hostel for its price and location.

The location is very good, but the street is very loud and cars and trains horn a lot so thats the trade off. Also the price is ok but the AC is not useful at all, since it is fixed to certain temperatures that were too hot for me. In general, you can get quickly to the main transportation for a good price, but I'd not say you will sleep very well.

If you don’t mind a ton of old people in an advertised “youth” (they need to take that out of the name) hostel, this place is great. Perfect location to take the 350 bus line to the Dolomites. Breakfast was decent enough for the price of the hostel. Everything seemed clean. The rooms are super hot at night and the temperature controls are all locked for some reason
