We stayed in a mixed 12 dorm just for one night. Staff were incredibly friendly which I think made a lot to the experience. They were able to help us figure out what to do in rome with such short time. With any hostel it has it's ups and downs especially if you stay in a 12 dorm. Of course... More

Well, lets start with the downsides. We had booked way in advance to make sure we had a spot. The first issue is that we had booked a 6 person room, but ended up in a 10 person room. Didn't bother me really, but it's not what we payed for :-) The room itself smelled pretty badly and was a... More

I stayed here in january of 2012. I'd only been to one other hostel, but this one was full of people that were having a blast. There was lots of opportunities to do things and go out, especially with other residents in the hostel. I made a lot of friends and loved the group camaraderie there. I also became very,... More

This kind of places should be forbidden in any reservation webpages. They didn't have hot water, the "common room" was the corridor, with no sunlight. The kitchen was closed during the whole day, the rooms had bed bugs, and were completely crowded. I had to jump over somebody's luggage to get to my bed. And worst of all, the owner.... More

This hostel had live music like everyday. I travel quite a bit, and that too on a budget, so when we found this hostel, its price and location sold us! Sure, the rooms are dingy and the bathrooms small, but hey it's a hostel...and that too in Rome. It's very social, you meet tonsss of interesting people! Even the hostel... More

The + : If what you are looking for is to socialize and meet other travellers this hostel is a great choice. It's honestly the hostel with the liveliest and friendliest atmosfere i've been at and the staff make a good job in warming it up. Every evening (from 9.30pm to midnight) some party is organized: the entrance hall is... More

The hotel as a whole was good, although we had a few complaints.... The shower was SMALL... So much so that it was inconvenient for me at 5'5", and my fiance (6'2") found a shower almost impossible. The room was great, and very clean, although SMALL.... Not a problem for us, but I wouldn't want to stay for much longer... More
