The reception rooms are located on the first and second floors of the Corso Regina Margherita building and can be private or shared, from 2 to 7 beds, mixed and female. Not only bedrooms, but also suites and 1 16-bed loft. A bed costs an average of € 25, depending on the time of year. Every two people has a bathroom, each bed has its own space for storing clothes and personal items, bedrooms and shared spaces, but privacy is guaranteed for everyone. From the website it is possible to book rooms and additional services.
