Ostello Don Zermani

I discovered this hostel when I had to sleep in Piacenza for a long period of time and didn’t want to spend a fortune staying in a hotel.
The place is extremely clean, quiet (located in a a residential neighborhood near the center). You can get a key to return at night after the reception is closed. They have off street parking. Handicap accessible with a ramp and an elevator inside. Each room has bunk style beds, a balcony and some have private bathrooms. Linens are provided, but not towels.
The staff is really not friendly. too bad because I like the accomodation, but after hours of travelling it’s always nice to be greeted with a smile and a helpful attitude — hear you won’t get this. I’ve stayed here now four times and the greeting is always the same.
Despite this, I still give the hostel 4 stars for cleanliness, convenience and price. A private family room for 2 adults and 2 children costs just EUR54.00 a night whereas 3 star hotel risks to be dirty and atleast double the price (based on my experience in the area).Wifi is available in the hallways (with comfortable seats and tables) for EUR1.00 a day.
