Hostel Il Nosadillo - Bologna

The female dorm was spacious. I loved that they did not have bunk beds, but normal single beds. Very comfortable! The staff is warm and welcoming. They make you feel welcome, chat with you, and provide help if needed. After checking out, they let you stay in the living room to charge your phone, read a book, or whatever you feel like doing. The location is also great. Within walking distance from all major attractions.

They cancelled my stay with 2 days notice because I did not check my emails within 24 hours, apparently my card declined. I called as soon as I found out and managed to get signal and check my email but they had already sold my room. 24 hours notice is pathetic especially for travellers who are constantly coming in and out of wifi/connection, let alone checking emails while trying to find a way around a new city. Staff were rude and unhelpful, their response to a previous review was incredibly rude as well saying it is not their responsibility and that their terms are clearly labelled when they are not. I had paid a 10 euro deposit and it said the rest was to be paid upon arrival. Everywhere is booked out now as I’m going for the Grand Prix I have spent the past 5 hours calling hotels and hostels looking for accomodation, they are all sold out let alone even something I can afford (booked this 5 months ago for about 100 euros, the cheapest I can find in bologna is now 500 euros) They obviously do not care about their customers, and this is clearly also a cash grab since I got it for a cheaper price booking so long ago, and they are able to upsell due to the Grand Prix. I am lucky enough now (after 5 hours of looking) to have found accomodation in Rimini (I still paid 300 euros for it though), but I now have to change all of my trains, and will be spending an extra 40 minutes each day trying to get to the Grand Prix. They are extremely rude and unprofessional, and if you book with them make sure you have a backup place to stay.

Well...it was simply amazing. It's a small, cozy, family like hostel. I truly felt like I was at home. I've met the most amazing people there which truly elevated the overall experience. I remember us arriving after a long walk and just melted into the couch talking...like it was truly home. The bathrooms were clean, the water was super warm, the breakfast was very good and I splet like an angel. It's near the city center, near the supermarket and 20' walking of the train station. I felt safe all the time. Thank you so much for the experience, will never forget it. 🤍 Sara, Portugal

Je n’ai séjourné qu’une seule nuit dans cet hostel, et c’est bien dommage ! L’ambiance y était superbe, conviviale et chaleureuse, avec beaucoup d’autres solo-travelers ! Les hôtes savent vous mettre à l’aise, mention spéciale à Jaouhar qui m’a donné beaucoup de conseils sur la ville, et prépare de délicieux Limoncello Spritz ! Je recommande vivement cet hostel à toute personne souhaitant dormir à Bologne, pour une ou plusieurs nuits.
