I had a pleasant stay at Il Castello. The location was superb as it was a two-minute walk from the Piazza Maggiore and close to shops, restaurants, and all major attractions of the city. The bed in the shared room was comfortable, although it would be appreciated if there were shelves by the bed to put your personal items. There wasn't any personal lockers so I had to leave my stuff out in the open. On the other hand, the air conditioning was much appreciated during the sultry summer nights of Bologna. Furthermore, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Overall, it was a good value hostel stay.
The bathroom could have been kept cleaner at night, but it's a rather minor detail and concerns the guests more than the staff. It would have also been great if it were possible to leave luggage in the reception before check-in or after check-out, but it was not too big of a problem as there is a left luggage facility around the corner from the hostel.

very close to everything. Bologna’s attractions are within walking distance. I even came back to the hostel several times in one day,
smelled really bad but I think it was not because it’s not clean. there was one person before me and I think it’s his. the smell’s gone when I came back. in general the place is super clean. it is a bit expensive. if there are the same level accommodations with 20€~30€, then they will go there absolutely.

Very clean room, only 3 beds in the room it's really cozy and cool. Toilets are also clean, there is a bidet! It is very quite there and the place is really convenient. There are restaurants, shops, supermarkets nearby the hostel.
Unfortunately, there were no towels provided. The reception works only to 7 p.m., it's inconvenient. And the worst thing is bedbugs...

The location was great, and the woman checking me in was very nice and clear with instructions. The price was fantastic
Showers had bad water pressure/low temperature. It was a hostel, so how nice your room stay is very contingent on your roommates.

It is an extremely clean hostel! It is the best option for digital nomads, because there is a working place. I always stay there whenever I visit Bologna.
Nothing. Everything was perfect!

Clean, tidy and quiet place. The only downside is a lack of kitchen or at least a fridge. As a solo female traveler I felt safe, would highly recommend.

Location was perfect. Staff was very polite and friendly. Bathrooms were clean.
The only thing we didn’t like was the sun coming in from the windows very early in the morning and waking us up, this would be easily solved by using heavier curtains.

Nothing to complain, except no private bathroom but that was announced during the reservation.
