Good for 1 night, close to bazaar
Pros:

Stayed 1x night at Cico Hostel, was good for this amount of time. Was a good location (very close to bazaar), reasonably priced, friendly hosts and comfy bed with plug, light and privacy curtains.

Cons:

The 8 bedroom dorm room was very small, not a lot of floor space (although there is a locker) and only 1 bathroom (toilet and shower in same bathroom), which meant you often had to wait a long time. There was also not much of a social or common area, which made it hard to meet people.

Struttura consigliatissima!!
Pros:

Mi è piaciuto tutto, dalla camera ordinata e pulita alla cordialità e accoglienza dell’Host. Famiglia estremamente gentile e di cuore, sempre pronti ad aiutarti e consigliarti. La posizione è perfetta perché in centro e grazie a questo è molto facile orientarsi.

it was ok for just sleeping
Pros:

The location was good, the beds were comfortable and there was a curtain for privacy.

Cons:

The room is very small and getting into the shower while people are still sleeping was challenging and unpleasant. You can't really sit in the living room because the seating is uncomfortable and the family/hostel owners are there most of the time so it feels uncomfortable (in my opinion). The owner was nice overall. But this is not a hostel where you can really develop relationships with other travelers.
