The hostel is in a good location as it is right next to termini, so you have easy access to metro and bus stations etc. Most of the staff members were friendly, but the rooms were terrible. Dirty floors, loose tiles, the window in our room would not close and the room was freezing. bathrooms were wet all the time... more

The hostel (its a hostel, no matter what you are told), is in a perfect location near the Termini. I stayed in a dulexe room, which was spacious and had pay WIFI. The signal not great. There is a club below so expect some noise. more

When we arrived at m&j hostel we were tired and exhausted from a long flight, and numerous bus's. Unfortunately when we checked in we found that all that was promised on the website as "FREE" was in fact only free if you paid the extra amount on a "full price room"...In other words free if you pay for it. This... more

30 euros per nite for a 6-bedded dorm was too costly considering the facilities. i took the room without b/fast & the 30 mins of free-internet and managed to knock off 5 euros. the kitchen was old and small. the toilets were shared with other dorms. the dorm was poorly lit. there was a rickety old cupboard that sways side... more

It has been a terrible MISTAKE to book a room in this hostel. The good? It's near the Termini central station and the sheets we're clean. The bad? EVERYTHING ELSE. First, the recepcionists are very stupids. They ignore the people, you have to talk to them. They charge 2 extra euro for the clean sheets (wth???) and they asked for... more

I was told trough email that I could get a room for 25 - 30 euro, but when I arrived they told me the rooms are only 35 euro. Maybe it's just a little difference but I hate it when I am lied to. I was late so I had to take the room (that's what they are counting on).... more

So where to start with M&J Hostel in Rome. Specially considering our check in weas never made, because when we arrived they took abou 15 minutes to tell us we didn's have a reservation after all. Apparently you have to confirm 24h prior to your arrival that you will in fact stay in the hostel. Well that's very good and... more

First of all, this hostel is in a great location right by Termini station. Although the Termini area gets a bad press it's no worse than similar locations in other major cities (think Kings Cross in London, the Gare du Nord in Paris, ect). We always felt safe, but you'd be advised not to wander the back streets a little... more

This was by far the worst place we stayed in Europe. I am shocked this place is still in business. We stayed here due to false advertising and exhaustion. Extremely expensive place. It did feel like they were taking money and providing nothing. They didn't even seem like they knew what they were doing? No lift, stayed in a dorm... more

Don't believe a thing this hostel says about its services. They claimed they have airconditioning (they don't, unless you have a private room), free wifi (they give you one free hour a day, and only if you PAY the 'PREMIUM PRICE' for your room), common room (the TV doesn't work). There is also no lift. The showers are disgusting, and... more
