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

Good things: centrally located, next to Cavour metro, free Wi-Fi ,poor 2 € breakfast and ... that's all Bad things : small 6 beds room with a very small shower cabin, revolting smell , bugs , dark, some nuns were living above and an exaggerated silence were required after midnight .

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

the ivanhoe hostel should be shut down by health inspection and his owner arrested. I have severe allergy all over my body caused by the bed bugs. another guy sleeping next to me had horrific rash for the same reason. staff do not give receipts for anything whatsoever. I've been charged 2 euros for city tax per day and never... More

Dirty and noisy, six or more beds in tiny rooms, only three showers for more than 30 beds ... do you need more? the dorms have no keys, there are not enough lockers, some people reported have been bitten by bed´s bugs. Additionally, the hostel´s staff was sleeping in one of the dorms and the most noise guy there was... More
