    In the description of the room selection it was indicated that the hostel was in a room with 8 beds, but in fact it was one big room with 18 beds, it was actually a little upsetting There was also no outlet near the bed Only at the end of the room near the exit to the hallway there were 2 sockets, there were enough sockets in the hallway

    The location is great The attitude of the staff was very good

    It would be nice if each bed had separate curtains. My bed was in front of one of the bathrooms and every time someone was turning on the light it was waking me up.

    Very central location. It was possible to have an early check-in. The staff was nice to recommend a restaurant nearby. Clean bedsheets and good heating. Lockers available. Common area, kitchen and 3 bathrooms.

    No individual lights or chargers. Bit too impersonal with 18 beds in the room but 2nd night only 2 of us. Walls very thin as could hear neighbours having a bath together?? Lol

    Good kitchen facilities.Close to the city, easy access. 1 pin # and no keys! Bed was comfy, nice linen and towels, showers were fine. Nice big lockers.

    - too many people in the room (fortunately, it was not full when I was there and people were respectful enough)

    + excellent location in the historical city centre (in so-called Sassi) and close to the train station Matera-Sud and Matera-Centrale + friendly and helpful staff (I could leave my luggage there during the day at the day of my departure) + international (European) socket available

    I didn’t realise all beds are in one room. Bathrooms could be cleaner. Door code was changed halfway through my stay and I wasn’t told

    Good location in the old town (far from the bus stop), friendly staff and a good social environment. This is a lovely hostel if you don’t mind basic facilities

    All 18 beds are in a single room. When I visited it was less busy, only 5 or 6 other people were staying there. I can see it getting cramped if the hostel is closer to fully booked.

    Fantastic value for money. Situated right next to the Sassi, the hostel is in an ideal location for those looking to explore old matera. Staff are nice and accommodating. I had to extend my stay for a day due to changing plans and it was a non-issue.

    I knew that it was a mixed dormitory. I was though surprised to see that there were only approximately 18 beds (bunk ones) in one space. Maybe they could have divided this space into two sections. Or perhaps I had not noticed it when I booked it. But since there is also a kitchen and a common area, this might not have been possible. Yet the proximity to the historic site makes you forget issues such as this. I would like to suggest that a ventilator could be added, as in case of many people sleeping, the air needs somehow to be refreshed. In overall it was a good stay.

    The hostel was very close to the area of historic Matera, the area dei Sassi. It is only a few minutes walk to reach it. The hostel has one dormitory with bunk beds and three well equipped bathrooms. I arrived by bus from Taranto and although the bus stop is almost 3 km away from the city, there are 4-5 local buses that can be used to arrive to the hostel. Except from Sunday and the time between 14:00-16:00... No bus.

    Breakfast wasn't included. The check in was 20 min. to late, because the staff's lunch was delayed. He hardly said sorry for that. There were 3 bathrooms, but everyday they closed one of them. (because of little people in the place??)

    It was quiet, because there were less people than beds. There is a kitchen, location is great.

    It's just one big space so it can be pretty noisy when other guests are doing their own things. There is no place to leave the things next to the bed, nor a socket. You have to leave your phone charging in the common area.

    The host was really nice and allowed me to get in before check in and leave my things after my check out. The location is great. The toilets were big and clean. The towel they give you is nice. The lockers are really big.

    The hostel is good, but there wasn't really a nice atmosphere to connect or room to hang out. It got really wet in the bathroom when people had taken a shower. The reception isn't open until check in time, so you may have to wait at the door before you can drop your bag.

    I loved that you walk right into the Sassi and that it's close to one of the train stations. I slept in a big dorm. There were several bathrooms you could use, some outside of the room. There were lockers outside that fit a whole bag.
