I picked Ostello Bello because of the proximity to the train station, which was excellent! I was very impressed by the entire property and amenities. Their outdoor garden/sitting area is beautiful and they have something planned every night which is nice for solo travelers. The breakfast was great and so was the staff. There was a small mixup with the computer system that affected a lot of rooms but it was resolved and the staff was very apologetic. I felt very safe in the shared dorm and booked an extra night in a private room when plans fell through. The private room was exactly what you need and nothing more (it does have towels and bed made vs the dorms) but bathrooms in the shared and private rooms were both very clean. There was a kitchen with fresh produce and ingredients for anyone to use, which came in handy after being stuck on a train and arriving after midnight. The only thing that wasn’t excellent, was the cleanliness of the kitchen. Only because as a shared space, not all guests clean up after themselves as well as others. But again free kitchen and cooking supplies makes it hard to complain. The staff was so friendly and trustworthy that I ended up paying to store my extra bag for the week while I was traveling in southern Italy.
Overall, it might not have been something I would have splurged on as a 20yr old. But the price was definitely worth it in my opinion.
