I am disappointed by most of the ratings on the web and all the claims from its official websites. The real scenario of the hostel is never the image they presented on their website. The hostel is made up of 1 floor of a building only. It is really too small. The dorm rooms are quite crowded. You need to... more

We stayed one night in a 4-bed dorm with ensuite and three nights in an 8-bed dorm. There is no air-conditioning except for in reception, which means the entire place is pretty unbearably hot during summer! The rooms have fans but these don’t really do much... nearly everyone sleeps in their underwear. The 4-bed dorm definitely wasn’t worth the extra... more

I booked the hostel through Hostelworld.com. We were 5 girls traveling and for the review we had heard about Italy, we needed a hostel which was safe and had good reviews. This one was all of that and affordable too. I found the dormitories clean but bathrooms were a bit too small and old fashioned showers. There was some guy... more

This was a nice hostel at a cheap rate just beside the Rome Termini station. We had to get up early the next morning to catch a train, so this was an ideal location. The hostel is located upstairs and in order to get in you have to buzz the little button for them to unlock the door--they didn't say... more

My friends and I, 6 of us, had the 6-bed dorm. The room was very spacious for 6 people, with chairs and a table in the middle, and it seemed quite clean. However the hostel DID run out of hot water during our 3-day stay - once at night and once in the morning. Since there wasn't a definite pattern,... more

Stayed for 3 nights this summer in an 8 bed dorm, there are much worse places but i'm sure you could find better. The place was pretty clean and modern, and they give you free pasta during the week which is useful. The rooms are quite big and uncrowded but get very hot during the summer, which is not helped... more

Service: Friendly, helpful staff. On arrival a woman gave us a street map of Rome and explained the easiest ways to reach all the top sites, recommending restaurants to us and directing us towards the areas for young people at night during the summer months. One of the girls I was travelling with left some documents and traveller's cheques behind... more

We stayed in this hostel recently for three nights. The hostel is in a good location if you are coming in by train as it is 5 minutes from Termino station. The first thing you are faced with is a 69 step climb up to the hostel although there is a lift it is claimed the lift is faulty... The... more

All in all, an ok place, though the kitchen and internet facilities didn't seem to be enough for everyone, and my bed squeaked terrrribly! Room was spacious. The elevator didn't work and it's up a couple flights of stairs. more

Stayed for 4 nights in a mixed 8-bed dorm. Paid €17 per night, which was very cheap. Hostel is located in a relatively dodgy area very close to Termini, along with a lot of other low-cost accommodation. While the feeling of personal safety was a bit low when wandering back to the hostel late at night, there was never any... more
