Ostello Bello Grande

Everething was excellent, food, neighbors, staff.

I don't know why, but they keep your credite card details even if you have a paypass.

Room space, breakfast food

The hostel is located 150m from the central train station, had no trouble finding it and walking there (with 2 pieces of luggage). Check in was fast and staff is extra friendly and helpful - bonus points for the very energic welcome, after a long day traveling! Rooms are spacious enough (stayed in a 5 beds) and have good A/C and the in-room bathroom was clean and perfectly functional (good shower pressure, hairdryer etc.). Half board provided (buffet breakfast and dinner) and some free food available 24/7 (fresh fruit and veggies, pasta, pasta sauce, yogurts, biscuits and breadsticks). Very quiet bedrooms and corridors, but lots of commonspace areas where one can be as loud as needed - quiet secret garden ground floor, very cool rooftop terrace 6th floor, nice breakfast area, well equipped kitchen, laundryroom, tv room, boardgames, free books, good wi-fi on all floors.

It is a well taken care of place. They provide you anything you may need (including ear plucks). There is a nice terrasse on the ground and on the 6th floor and they also organise some activities. The staff speaks great english and are really helpful and reactive. My room had its own bathroom that was clean and big. Overall really great value for money.

Location is not amazing but it is practical because it is next to the central train station.
