Christiano was super nice and the location was perfect! It was very easy to meet people as well and when/if you come there, don’t forget to walk around in Biassa as well because it is really nice!

Everything was pretty amazing, positive experience all round.

The place and people instantly felt like a family from the moment I caught the bus up to the hostel. Beautiful people and area. I’ll definitely be coming back for the community aspect and the hikes I didn’t get to!

Someone took the bed that was supposed to be for us (we were two) and the bed stairs are terribly painful to use.

The personal is great! People are super nice and the location is also beautiful.

Bunk beds have a kind of weak structure, which makes them wobbly and shaky. I was sleeping on the top bunk and the beds were moving every time me or the person sleeping on the bottom bed turned. Showers are unisex (which is ok, but I would have like to known beforehand) and I had the impression that showers and bathrooms were clean only in the afternoon: since most of the ppl use the facilities in the evening, maybe it would be wiser to clean them in the morning. The hostel is close to the church so you can hear the bell loud and clear (which is nobody's fault of course, but it's a bit annoying, especially if someone suffers from light sleep)

Beds are comfortable and there are sockets right on their side. There's a big garden with tables where people can chill and chat and personnels were very nice and welcoming; there's free wifi and the hostel is close to the bus stop to and from La Spezia

A very nice place with friendly and helpful staff. Location is beautiful, but sometimes can be challenging to get to due to bus schedule. However the hostel staff does provide with all the information , which makes planning your trips to Cinque Terre towns much easier. Tabacco shop owner, Gloria is an amazing and very helpfull person who knows everything you need to know about cinque terre hikes, cards, tickets and etc.

Stayed in May 2024

There were only 3 toilets and 3 very small showers for all the guests.

Good breakfast and dinner, very friendly and kind staff, the garden is big and comfy, quiet environment, very clean. We found useful information at a nearby tobacco shop, with many details and a friendly owner. Gina explained us all the details, she has great local products and very good coffee. Very good internet connection and warm rooms.

Nothing, it was wonderful!

It was amazing, clean and the owner who runs it is so friendly alone with the rest of the staff. When asking about how to get there he was great! There are plenty of showers and toilettes in comparison to the people. The little town it’s in is beautiful. Should I return to cinque Terre I will definitely stay again. Thank you! 😊

It is a great spot for meeting new people, everybody, both the staff and the other travelers were very friendly. The common rooms were cozy and people liked hanging out there.

Not a dislike, but just know that although it is possible to walk to the hostel, do not attempt this in the dark as the streets and path are unlit. There is a bus from La Spezia that runs and drops you off right in front of the hostel.

The hostel was very clean with good facilities. The town of Biassa is charming and close to both La Spezia and hikes of the Cinque Terre. I was there in the offseason so it was very quiet, but the other travelers there were very nice fellow hikers!

I have a wonderful experience from this hostel, I was there off season in January, so it might be very very different at other times of the year :) What's probably the same at any time though is the very lovely staff, Cristiano was really welcoming and I felt very supported, knowing I could ask if I needed anything. The village itself was beautiful and peaceful and I honestly preferred it to all the famous touristy Cinque Terre towns. The hiking trails will take you to beautiful views and the coastal towns - I walked to Riomaggiore which is only about two hours hike away from the hostel.

The distance away from everything else. The busses go according to a different timetable from google. The hostel is up in the mountains so If you miss a bus you’re going to wait a good long time before the next one. The last bus being at 8pm. There is nowhere to cook your own food in the hostel or rather you can’t cook anything, only certain foods.

The social area was incredible, with gorgeous panoramic views, so even a day in is not wasted. The staff are so so helpful and friendly. The cook always greeted us which was very pleasant for me :) met wonderful people during my stay. There is a smart tv in the social lounge and we had a movie night

Very friendly and comprehensive staff! There was an issue with my reservation (I could book when all rooms were full) and the two girls from the staff did everything to fix it, Thank you again!

Although the hostel is situated in a beautiful scenic location, the buses only run at certain times so you essentially had a time limit of the last bus (either 8pm or 10.45pm from Riomaggiore) to get back to the hostel. More than once these buses were full and left people behind. In one way this was frustrating as you could not spend a evening in the local towns without having to get an expensive taxi home, but in another way it was great because everyone would be back at the hostel at the same time and you could hang out in the outdoor area and swap storeis on your day. Just something to consider before you book.

Beautiful scenic location on the top of a hill in the small authentic Italian town of Biassa. Lovely outdoor area with a bar where it was easy to socialise with people. Lovely food options to order for dinner. All facilites were cleaned regularly and pricing was very cheap. Cristiano who runs the hostel and his cousin Paulo were exceptional hosts. They were extremely helpful and patient when giving you information with how to visit the towns in the area and how the local transport worked.
