Storage space is limited and varies by hostel. Tell us what you are bringing when you enquire, not on arrival.

Squads and choirs shift until late. Within limits we can absorb it — one or two people, yes; ten, no.
Reggio Emilia is the largest and sits inside the Chiostro della Ghiara, which has event rooms and a courtyard: it works for choirs and for groups that need somewhere to perform or gather.
Campiglia has a restaurant that serves guests every evening, which makes full board straightforward for longer stays.
