Description

The Student's Hostel Parma is located just 5 minutes by car from the historic city center and was completely renovated in 2021, before being included in the Student's Hostel circuit.

It has 20 rooms, for a total of 95 places, all equipped with private bathroom and heating.

The reception is open from 08: 00 to 21: 00, by which time it is possible to check-in. The hostel is always accessible for those who are already guests.

The fine wood furnishings have a sober but welcoming style and the bedding was entirely renovated in 2021 near the new opening.

The hostel offers large common rooms, garden, reading corner and other amenities.

The reception and the common area on the ground floor have been expanded with the installation of a cafeteria. An internal parking is available for guests.

The hostel is 350 meters from exit 5 of the ring road and 30 meters from a bus stop linking with the city center and Parma train station, 1. 5 km away.

What guests say

Reviews highlight the friendly and helpful staff, very good value for money, and overall cleanliness of the hostel. Rooms are generally spacious and adequate, with some basic amenities in the bathrooms. The location is slightly outside the city center but is accessible by public transportation or on foot, and the train station is not far away. Breakfast is included, though described as simple. The hostel is recommended particularly for short, budget-friendly stays, and is appreciated for its quiet atmosphere and convenient parking.

Based on guest reviews. AI-generated.

A very warm welcome, thank you! The hostel is a bit off the beaten track, but that's probably what makes it very affordable. This was perfect for our one-night stay in Parma.

The hostel is very well maintained, both the rooms and the bathrooms are spacious and clean and breakfast is included. I arrived by bike and they let me park it inside. The New Zealand girl at the reception is very kind.

Interesting structure, a bit located to the north, outside the center which is 2.5 km away (walked without issues).

Functional and clean, with internal parking. Five minutes walk from the Lanfranchi stadium and the rugby citadel, which was my destination. I would definitely stay again in this accommodation.

Welcoming and helpful staff. The bathroom did not have towels or mini toiletries for washing and the shower box was broken. Decent experience for one night.

Overall positive experience. I was in a dormitory with 8 beds, two occupied by other girls, one by me and the others free. Cleaner than many hotels. Regarding the bathroom, I feel lucky because my 'roommates' were very polite, but I must say that if all 8 beds sharing the same bathroom had been occupied, it might have been a bit limiting and certainly less clean. Very limited choice for breakfast, all packaged products in addition, of course, to hot and cold drinks. However, considering that I spent 25 euros with breakfast included, it seems more than adequate and one adapts. If I had had a single room instead, I would have considered it a really poor breakfast. Internal and free parking, a bit out of the way if arriving by train, but I think you can easily get there by bus. Nearby there are also Roadhouse, McDonald's (if you like) and many other places to eat if needed. Based on all this, I rate my experience as very positive.

In the bathroom, everything was missing, not even hand soap was present, and there was nothing to wash with.

Clean youth hostel with very good value for money. The location is easily accessible by public transport. The train station is about a 15-minute walk away. It takes about 30 minutes to walk to the center of Parma. There are restaurants and an ice cream shop in the vicinity. The center is not a must for this. I was traveling by motorcycle, so the location was ideal for me!
