"Since opening in 2008, this modern hostel has won awards for its service and excellent facilities."
Frommer's
"If a gated courtyard right in the center appears rather a grand address for a hostel, that is because this is no ordinary student traveler dive."

"Don’t wait another minute to make a reservation at this hostel—with only 30 beds and the best value in the neighborhood, it’s no surprise that Academy doesn’t have many last-minute vacancies."

"Situated in the historic centre... Elegant."
Frommer's
"There's a certain old-world elegance, reminiscent of an English country manor, to the richly decorated common rooms and the gravel-strewn garden of this 14th-century palazzo."

Fodor's
"Though some rooms are small, they are tasteful, and best of all, housed in a 15th-century palazzo that retains some of its wood-coffered ceilings from the 1500s."
