My First Hostel Experience — And It Was a Blast!
Ostello Bello Palermo was my first-ever hostel stay, and honestly — it was an amazing surprise! At first, I was placed in a room with all guys, but when I asked to switch, the staff quickly and kindly arranged a change for me. Each room has 11 beds and 2 showers, and everything was super clean, which I really appreciated. The common area is lovely — warm, welcoming, and full of life. That night, there was a DJ party that lasted until 1 a.m., and sleeping was definitely not an option… but I was in the spirit of experimentation, so I just went with it and ended up dancing and having a great time. I met some amazing local musicians who were born in Palermo, and we had such a fun night hanging out and talking. It felt like a truly authentic and spontaneous experience. Breakfast was tasty, with a good selection. The staff were incredibly kind and friendly — especially one guy at the reception (I wish I remembered his name!) who was just the sweetest. Thank you for making my first hostel stay so special. I’ll never forget it 💛
LOL Hostel is located close to the Siracuse train station. Just 2 minutes'walk! It is extremely convenient if you go there by train. There are lots if seating areas in the reception area. You can watch TV and surf Internet there. There is also a bar and an open kitchen with a fridge. There is also an outdoor seating area. The bedroom is clean and quiet. I had a good sleep there.
Very well located with bus stop nearby but think to clarify that it is in a residence, with a porter because there is no indication with the name of the hostel in front of the portal.
Very good varied breakfast, mineral water distributor or free gas
The luxury women's bedroom would be perfect if the beds had cortinas for more intimacy and hands washing in the bathroom.
The facilities were good and the hostel provided a fridge, stoves and cooking utensils. The room and the toilets were most of the time clean. Each was provided with one big locker. You can use the washing machine for 4 Euro and hang the clothes in the balcony. One major problem was sound insulation. The windows could not be completely closed and the room was facing a busy street. It was particularly busy during weekends as the cars and motorbikes might turn up music when they were driving late at night.

GGuest UserExcellent location with great friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was included and although limited in choice, a great start to the day. It was served next door at Agatha Cafe where staff was also very accommodating. We highly recommend this hotel.
DDoris_love travelHotel is newly renovated and fresh. Room and bathroom are good. A large selection for breakfast.
Facing a big road, thus quite noisy when open the windows. Front desk staff seem to be uninterested in assisting tourists.
TthiagosruasThe new hostel is well located, it has a great deal of noise in the morning.
The air conditioning was not working and the doors had to be closed due to the noise.
Valentina has taken me very well.
