Guest reviews
Recent reviews shared by hotel guests
We had reservations and arrived at 2pm, soaking wet from the rain, but they turned us away because check-in wasn't until 3pm. The lack of common sense, compassion, and basic human decency was incredibly disappointing, especially at a hostel meant to help pilgrims on their journey. The staff should be ashamed. We canceled and went somewhere else.
The bed was soft, and the hostel is right on via Francigena. But the bathrooms flooded, the showers wouldn't drain, and there was a bad smell throughout the place. The pillows smelled sweaty, and it was very hot. Worst of all were the mosquitoes. Even with the window screens, I woke up covered in bites and didn't sleep at all because of the heat and mosquitoes.
The terrace by the entrance, overlooking the valley, is a lovely place to relax or have a meal or breakfast. Downstairs, I had a bed in a room with two bunk beds that opened onto a nice outdoor area. The bed was surprisingly comfortable and didn't squeak, and each space had a socket for charging phones and power banks, plus a small light. The bathrooms and toilets were clean, and there was a great little kitchen with a fridge and cooking utensils. The location in the centre of San Miato Alto is excellent. Staff were friendly, relaxed, understanding of Via Francigena travellers' needs, and accommodating of early arrivals. Some VF hostels can be overbearing about rules, but this one had a good balance. Mosquito netting on the windows would be a nice touch.
I definitely wouldn't recommend staying here. It felt unsafe, and the place was very dirty.
Everything was clean, the place was nice, and the staff were good. Good enough.
