True, the hostel is not really convenient to reach. 20-30 minutes bus ride from the train station and some hundred meters to walk from the bus stop. But you will like the 15th century building and the park.
Many guide books say that this is the most beautiful hostel in Italy, because of the building. Check in at the reception is more like a look up to the ceiling than fill out the form experience, because there is a lot to see up there.
The hostel and service is basic. Breakfast is included, but it is just the basic Italian style snack. There are washing machines and dryers, but you are lucky if all works at the same time. Dorms are very basic, bunk beds and a wardrobe, no lockers. The bathrooms remind more on Full Metal Jacket (no worries, toilets and showers are stalls, but no locks). There is internet for 3.50euro an hour. In the evening dinner is offered, a menu for 10€, single plates etc. also to have. A TV room and a little bar round the whole thing up. Curfew and lights out is at 12 midnight.
It is after all an Italian International Hostel, but very relaxed and quiet ( if not a school class makes its way to the hostel)
Take any bus number 17 from the train station (Leave to the right when walking away from the tracks) and tell the driver to kick you out at the Ostello.
