The hostel is clean and very close to the station. The staff are friendly enough, breakfast is 3 euro/day and is a very basic continental style bfast. Be warned...there are no cooking facilities - even though it looks like there is (from the photos on their website). My partner and I went and bought a heap of food to make... More

My husband and I booked this place just beacuse it is conviniently located 5 mins from Termini Train Station. We had a private room, two beds put together, it looked like they only clean the bathroom, but not to good. NO TV. The good thing here is the internet service! Breakfast was awfull, the coffee smelled weird. The staff was... More

A college buddy and I stayed here for 3 nights in a 6 bedroom, female only Ensuite room. It was cleaner and safer than I expected, especially for Rome. The area that it's located in IS a bit shoddy (I wouldn't recommend being out too late at night) but it's very close to the Termini, which is the main train/bus... More

Me and 5 other students had our valuables stolen from our purses in the middle of the night when a staff member came into the room and then left the door unlocked. I lost my camera (along with all of my Italy pictures), 2 ipods, and all my cash from my wallet. The hostel staff didn't know how to handle... More

Everything works as expected. Shared a six beds mixed room with some party people. It worked out fine. Wifi works but is slow. Breakfast is inexpensive, just 3€, but will never get a star in Guide Michelin.

I didn't leave this hostel with the same jubilation that I usually leave hostels with (you know, having had a great time, met loads of great people and not having spent too much...) The staff on numerous occasions gave us incorrect information. I asked them about the RomaPass, which is pretty standard Rome tourist stuff, and the girl didn't even... More

I arrived with a group of students and another teacher at this hostel for a week's stay. My colleague and I had booked a double room and been asked to pay for the first night's stay months in advance. The tiny room that we were given turned out to completely bare of essential amenities: no chairs, no closet to hang... More
