The proprietor, Francesco, is a kind and generous person who works very hard to make sure that people enjoy their stay: everything is well kept, clean and relaxed. Relaxed: things are not fussed over; there is a slightly unkempt aspect to things that is in perfect sync with the city and its attractions, worthwhile unto themselves. The architecture is splendid: the trompe lóeil mural in the hallways and the cloister are remarkable. There are a pair of cats to keep guests company.The lack of a working kitchen for guests is problematic. The Internet machine (?) is a masterpiece of stupidity.The absence of high-tech anything is welcome. Occasionally, there are obnoxious school groups who trash the bathrooms or make too much noise :-/

We (a family with 3 kids) had just one night in this hostel in October. We were using it as a stopover in order to get to the Ferrari Mueum in Modena. How we wished we had planned to stay longer! The hostel is magnificent. Located in a splendidly restored old building attached to the Basilica. The rooms are reasonably spacious, and ours had a clean, roomy bathroom - the best we came across in any hostel we stayed in. Breakfast was very good. Reggio Emilia was quiet at night, and it was a little difficult to find somewhere to eat, but we arrived very late. The locals were very friendly and helpful - not too overused by tourists. I'm not sure how much there is to see in the area, but would have liked a day to poke around Reggio Emilia. It is great accommodation for 14.50 euro (in family room), and is very close to Modena and Bologna.
