    What I mentioned above. Being able to use the kitchen at all, even to make a coffee (there was a machine but it wasn’t that great)

    It is also a woman’s shelter so no wine, no cooking, the kitchen is for the women. I found that at like 8-9 pm I had to move silently around the room as the women were in bed and trying to sleep already.

    a great social project -- amazing location in old-town Verona.

    There's nothing "wrong" with the place -- only the restrictions. I was glad to stay for one night only, to experience the inner city of Verona, the old town. As it happened, my bed was in a room with no windows (so that likely shaped my view). I understand & respect the restrictions, but "because" I prefer to travel more spontaneously, one night was then "ok" & then I stayed somewhere else. For example, there isn't really a common space ... and ... even though the rules are very very clear in advance, I was still nervous that I'd break a rule or step over the "imaginary" boundaries. For example, I wanted to fill up my water bottle in the kitchen, and I wasn't sure if I should do that, or not. In my case, I didn't particularly like or trust my room-mate -- so that also likely shaped my time there....

    I wanted to stay in the center of Verona, so this was a nice option, very close to everything I wanted to see. Also, this is a social project -- so -- I felt it was important to support it. I could leave my bag in advance. Clean & safe.

    Little possibility to socialize with people outside of the room

    Very clean place, friendly staff, beds and room were comfortable and warm even if a little plain, enough plugs available. Felt very safe, and it was central, everything was walkable. Great place they offer for women!

    room was cold at night, the heater didn’t really make difference. The blanket wasn’t comfortable and the sheets were not designed for it.

    The location is great. Staff is also helpful, the spaces are big in hostel rooms, there is kettle and the room is clean. Also if you read the purpose of the hostel, it makes everything worth it.

    So everything was okey and I cannot complain about anything. The bedroom was great really spacious and the bathroom was nice as well. I would say the best part is the location of the hostel, so central it was so easy to move around Verona.

    No window big enough and high enough to let in fresh air and to look at the surrounding buildings or onto the street.

    Room is spacious, has bathroom inside (shared, but good). Stone's throw from all the tourist sites. Very clean and organized hostel. Love it that it is only for females.

    It could be a bit cleaner.

    Absolutely superb location in the city centre. The stuff was nice, and the price amazing. The room was actually much nicer than it seemed in the pictures and parted in half, so it doesn't seem there's that many people with you. Even the bed was very comfortable, which never happened to me in a hostel before.

    There were so many steps to climb, and with heavy luggage, it really was a struggle. There was a lift. However, guests weren't allowed to use it, and it was only operated by a key that we weren't provided. In fact, there was no room key provided either, which I found strange and the room was just left open. The lady at reception didn't know any English at all, which I understand given we were in Italy. However, this would have been helpful as a lot of guests staying there speak english as the first language. The room was fine. However, the ensuite toilets had quite a terrible smell. It was also quite noisy at night with the sound of kids crying.

    I liked that it was single beds instead of bunk beds, and the area was quite central.

    we had no key to the room or the building so there was a curfew, no kitchen and the bathroom and toilet in the room were in the same room so you couldn’t do it separately and had to wait on other roomies to pee.

    Very spacious rooms, a bathroom in the room, great location

    The room looks exactly as pictured. Expect a bit of darkness if you get a bed downstairs. Facilities are not in their best shape. But still, it's the best low-budget option for short stays for those who want to explore Verona.

    Fantastic cause, comfy bed, helpful and nice staff, and amazing window view. You could really feel the atmosphere of the city the moment you crossed the front door!
