“Beautiful, calm place to relax in a simple way.”
I loved the vibes. The staff is exceptionally friendly. The whole building is beautiful. It is in a very relaxed area, no noise. Right next to a calm square.

Really nice place run by very friendly people. Great location in the centre. Old monastery walls keep it at nice cooler temperatures during hot days. Separate storage room for bicycles.

The hostel is in a great location and very affordable (I paid almost nothing considering the excellent quality of service). It’s close to everything (train station, downtown, university, supermarket...). All the staff at the hostel were very helpful; they were very friendly and quite respectful... even after my stay there ended, they still help me and give me advice whenever I have questions about living in Alessandria, Italy.

“Nice place”
A former monastery with a beautiful green atrium. The rooms are modest, but large and very clean. An ideal stop for one night when returning from walking the Camino de Santiago.

“Loved my stay, Clean, Friendly, and Well-Located!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Stay in a Clean and Friendly Hostel I stayed in a shared dormitory at Il Chiostro Hostel & Hotel and had a great experience. The room was spacious, clean, with a big shower and toilet inside the dorm, which was very convenient. There are also extra showers and toilets outside the room The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, and the historical building adds a special charm. The shared kitchen was very useful it had a refrigerator, kettle, and microwave The staff were very kind, helpful, and always available for any questions. The hostel is in a quiet area but still close to the center of Alessandria, which made it easy to explore the city. I’d definitely recommend Il Chiostro to anyone looking for a relaxed and budget-friendly place to stay!

Chiostro's greatest asset is its location in a former monastery. All in all, my stay was short but pleasant, so I can recommend it without hesitation.

“A great place to stay”
The location is really central, staff are friendly and the building is unique has the feeling of serenity around the grounds . It's more for the quiet travelers they have a free library and you can rent a bike for a small price to go around the city . The Citadel is well worth a visit . I love the way they are also using the facilities to get children back into books by using performance and storytelling and using their imagination by puppeteer workshops . It's a wonderful place to stay
