A very nice place to stay in. At first, we had some problems reserving this room. (1) The owner initially refused to send us a formal confirmation letter that we can submit to the embassy as proof of reservation. The owner explained that this is due to people "using" the reservation to secure a visa and then cancelling (2) I... More

This room was perfect and so was the location. There wasn't much extra service - so stay here if you want privacy.

Beautiful room, very clean, with an antique character (wooden ceiling), totally renewed bathroom, and a very friendly owner. Owner gave us good information and a map on arrival. Would definitively recommend this romantic setting for couples.

Location: very conveniently located, close to both metro and railway station. Plenty of restaurants, bars and pubs are at walking distance. Privacy: top noch on this side of things, a private yet not isolated room. Comfort: room is very comfy, extremely quite. You will enjoy a good night of sleep. Great value for money, overall a smart choice.

Restaurants are plentiful and there is an ice-cream/gelato café is just around the corner. Convenience stores are nearby and one of them even sells Serie A match tickets to the Rome/Lazio matches (just ask the very helpful host for... More

We spent the first week of our honeymoon at the Blue Hostel before going to South of France & Paris. I can simply say that it was exhilarating! The place, the location, the room. You go by walking to the major destinations. Ercole is very helpful, the room was very clean, excellent internet connection. Simply the best. We just loved... More

This is a great place to stay in Rome. 100m from the Santa Maria Maggiore and only a short walk from the Termini which is the essential starting point for anyone new to Rome - trains, tours, taxis, banks, currency exchange are all available at the Termini. Hercules is the proprietor. He is a Roman and obviously loves his city.... More

The Blue Hostel is THE place to stay in Rome. My girlfriend spent some days there with her friends and she was amazed not only with hostel itself but also with the service quality. Ercole is a great person and will be surely your point of reference in Rome. He was not only nice with them, but also he made... More

I don't feel that I have much to add to the glowing comments by other travellers below. The location, the accommodation, the excellent value - and a host extraordinaire. This is definitely a home-away-from-home. Thank you to Ercole for helping to make our time in Roma such a memorable experience.
