The owners describe Bergamo Hostel in three words; urban, cozy and comfy, and we can see why.

It is the place to unwind in bright, open social spaces and enjoy a local experience thanks to the staff and their local connections.

Citta alta, Bergamo

Bergamo Hostel is described as urban as it is just a stone’s throw from the beauty of Citta Alta (a hilltop medieval town), yet the hostel itself is surrounded by a green, beautiful and peaceful environment.

Ostello di Bergamo has not met all the criteria to become 5 Star Hostel, but it is still a cool hostel to stay if you are in Bergamo. Come with us as we take you on a journey through the hostel, to find out exactly why.

Bergamo, hidden gem in north of Italy

1. Recycling and energy saving plan

Ostello di Bergamo has done well to create a recycling program.

On a small scale, they use ecological cleaning products, and they have an even cooler energy saving plan for the next few years.

For example, they will replace their old lights with LED to save on power.

Important and smart for a spacious hostel such as this!

The hostel itself is managed by local people. Of course, they know the area like the back of their hands.

Not only that, but they’ve made a great effort to team up with local tour providers to ensure guests get the best possible experience.

As this is an upcoming destination, we think it is wonderful that Bergamo Hostel has tried hard to become an authentic gem of North-Italian culture.

2. Open, bright and colourful

The building was built in 1970 and is a local architectural ‘masterpiece’.

It was in spring 2016 that the owners decided to renovate the common space.

They collaborated with Okam Studio, a young and award winner of architecture, and as a result, the common areas are open, bright and colourful.

The space is certainly big enough to socialize and relax, and if you’re keen; have a go and see if you can win a game of foosball.

When you enter the rooms, you will notice bright, modern décor and a continuing theme of blue and yellow.

There are of course bunk beds, but it is refreshing to see that Bergamo Hostel has tried a new approach and used single beds where possible.

Along with a private bathroom and the possibility of a balcony, we think the room design is super cool!
