Close to historic center, gorgeous characteristic building, amazing people working everywhere: reception, breakfast, cleaning... We arrived by bike and asked to store them inside and there fortunately was a storage room on locker, so I appreciate it. Clean room, nice bathroom. The breakfast is typically Italian: pastries, coffee, [I think they added yogurt, milk, and cornflakes for the tourists :) ]. Worth its value for a stay!

Great location, great garden, cool building, clean bathrooms & wc, big rooms with enough space, lockers.The staff was very helpful, supermarket close by. The building is big, and cool inside.
The only thing which could have been better is that on my floor there was a common area with a tv and an old man watched this tv all day long till late at night. It was very loud and noisy. Otherwise a really great hostel.

A fantastic, cheap hostel! Had a great stay for a couple nights, the staff were super friendly and helpful and the rooms and bathrooms were clean. Spacious and comfortable dorm rooms with a locker provided. I was also travelling by bicycle and the staff made sure my bike would be locked away safe overnight.

Location, beds, rooms, cleanliness, everything was great. Good value for money
Only remark is, there are only sweet items for breakfast, nothing salty, it would be good to have at least cheese or eggs

The hotel staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, even though my train got to Ferrara after check-in hours they still welcomed me. The hostel was also very clean and warm. The location is close to the castle and city center. 10/10 from me.

Location is close to center and bus station. Room and bathroom was clean. Staff was very nice. Great price for.value.
There was no curtain on windows, instead it had wooden surface blocking. So when you open the window the room is visible from outside. Italy is very hot, I think it needs air conditioner.

The property is very centrally located, ticked the boxes for comfortable bed, plenty hot water in the communal bathroom, great breakfast, good wifi and staff were lovely.
Breakfast starts at 7.30am and whilst the doors to the rooms are quite thick, if you are on the ground floor inconsiderate tourists who have no idea how to speak without shouting might be a problem. This is in no way a reflection on the hostel, just on inconsiderate people.
