The bottom line
Moda Drei is a solid choice for travellers who want a sociable, well-run hostel in a lively local area. It's not the place for a quiet, central base near the old town, but if you're happy to use public transport, the friendly staff, clean dorms, and community terrace make it easy to recommend.
