The area is a little dodgy but it is near Despar supermarket and just a 5 mins walk away from the train station. The security in the hostel is pretty good, it is manned by the hostel staff Stefano. Very value-for-money hostel because there is a decent breakfast spread provided for free. We get free pasta dinners and free ice-cream too! Suzanna also provides free walking tours around the area! It was also a great place to meet fellow travellers :)
