    Just a few steps away from La Spezia train station, ideal for wanting to discover Cinque Terre. Accommodation is modern, clean and beds are comfortable. Also like that there were just two dormitories so not too many people. Francesco is a most welcoming host! Definitely one of the best hostels Ive stayed had, would recommend!

    Couldn’t have asked for a better location, facilities, and breakfast. Francesco was the best host, making sure I had everything I needed and gave great recommendations and advice.

    Just some guests mostly younger ones don’t know how to behave in a shared room, nothing negativity about the hostel.

    Minimal and well maintained, everything was super clean and comfortable. Francesco was a great man you can ask him everything and he can answer your questions patiently ☺️

    Some of the guests were not respectful of the rules but that has nothing to do with the property itself.

    It was in the perfect location to visit cinque terre and the Francesco was incredibly helpful when it came to navigating the area.

    One of the best if not the best hostel I stayed at. It was clean, well organised and provided such a nice environment to relax. I felt so at home and the people I met at the hostel were so nice and chill. You can really tell Francesco cares a lot about his visitors experience and made us all feel so welcomed and cared for. The breakfast was amazing as well. I miss this place already! 10/10 ♥️✨

    Warm at night so needed windows open but was quite noisy outside and lots of mosquitoes came in

    Lovely clean hostel with a calm friendly atmosphere, very close to the train station for exploring cinque terre and breakfast next door was fresh as tasty with lovely staff. Francesco was so welcoming and helpful and did everything to ensure a comfortable stay 😃

    This place is an absolute gem! Francesco has exceptional hospitality and is always willing to provide invaluable recommendations for the Cinque Terre area. His lovely personality truly made my stay unforgettable - you really feel like family staying here. The complimentary wine, tea, and biscuits in the common area were cute touches, and the breakfast (from his brother’s cafe next door) was delicious. The dorms were spotlessly clean, and the bathrooms were fantastic. The location is also unbeatable - just a two-minute walk from the station. Hands down, this is the best hostel I've ever stayed in and I can't wait to come back! Grazie mille, Francesco!!!!

    My only comment is I wish there was a couch or comfortable armchair I could hang out in.

    Francesco the host was so warm and friendly, and gave great advice on things to do! The small hostel atmosphere made it fun and easy to meet people. The place was very clean and wasn't too crowded. Great location near Cinque Terre but also access to lots of restaurants.

    Everything went perfect.

    I'd love the vibe of this place. It's a small hostel managed by two brothers, Francesco and Antonio. Also, you have a bar/bistro, Ciao Baby, downstairs serving great food. The bathrooms are great and you have plenty of space in the rooms. There is not space for a lot of guests, I think there is only 2-3 rooms, so is easy to met everybody in the kitchen and downstairs. The hostel is just a few steps from the La Spezia train station which turns to be easy to explore everything around like Cinque Terre villages.
