Easily accessible by bus to Parma city center. Also next to Parma Due Torri shopping center with supermarket available. Good new hostel. Highly recommended.

A very warm welcome, thank you! The hostel is a bit off the beaten track, but that's probably what makes it very affordable. This was perfect for our one-night stay in Parma.

Clean youth hostel with very good value for money. The location is easily accessible by public transport. The train station is about a 15-minute walk away. It takes about 30 minutes to walk to the center of Parma. There are restaurants and an ice cream shop in the vicinity. The center is not a must for this. I was traveling by motorcycle, so the location was ideal for me!

Everything was perfect and very convenient. Cleanliness, comfort, everything new and welcoming. The host is very helpful and empathetic. I recommend it to everyone. There is very convenient and free parking, so if I have to return to Parma I will definitely come back. Thank you.

The hostel is very well maintained, both the rooms and the bathrooms are spacious and clean and breakfast is included. I arrived by bike and they let me park it inside. The New Zealand girl at the reception is very kind.

Interesting structure, a bit located to the north, outside the center which is 2.5 km away (walked without issues).

Functional and clean, with internal parking. Five minutes walk from the Lanfranchi stadium and the rugby citadel, which was my destination. I would definitely stay again in this accommodation.

Welcoming and helpful staff. The bathroom did not have towels or mini toiletries for washing and the shower box was broken. Decent experience for one night.

Overall positive experience. I was in a dormitory with 8 beds, two occupied by other girls, one by me and the others free. Cleaner than many hotels. Regarding the bathroom, I feel lucky because my 'roommates' were very polite, but I must say that if all 8 beds sharing the same bathroom had been occupied, it might have been a bit limiting and certainly less clean. Very limited choice for breakfast, all packaged products in addition, of course, to hot and cold drinks. However, considering that I spent 25 euros with breakfast included, it seems more than adequate and one adapts. If I had had a single room instead, I would have considered it a really poor breakfast. Internal and free parking, a bit out of the way if arriving by train, but I think you can easily get there by bus. Nearby there are also Roadhouse, McDonald's (if you like) and many other places to eat if needed. Based on all this, I rate my experience as very positive.

In the bathroom, everything was missing, not even hand soap was present, and there was nothing to wash with.
