A friend and I stayed at Ma Hostel for 7 days, whilst we were in Rome. We found the location excellent (it's close by the Termini station - which is at the cross over point for both the Metro lines, and the starting/ending points for practically every bus in Rome!) and the Rooms of a very decent size. There was no curfew, which meant we could do what we wanted and when, and the owner Monty was always helpful and very welcoming. He even took us to where the locals have ice cream (best ice-cream I have ever had) at 1:00am in the morning - which was something we couldn't have found by ourselves in a million years ! The other staff were helpful too, and if we needed help there was always someone around.

We were staying in a private double room (so unfortunately can't speak for what the dorms are like - the other double room and quad room which I fleeting glimpsed seemed to be okay to though..).
The room itself was a bit dusty, although most of this can probably be attributed... more
