My friend and I used HostelWorld.com to book this place. I really reallllly recommend for a few reasons. Firstly, it was def. cheap. None of the places we booked at were more than 20 euros a night. This place in particular was very clean, supplied blankets and pillows and such for you at no extra charge. Offered lockers with locks on them to store your items in at no extra charge. And the location was amazing. If you were on the right side of the building, you could look out your window and see the dome of St. Peter's Basilica. Every night, we walked over to the Vatican and looked around the piazza, sat by the fountains, etc. A metro station was about 3 or 4 blocks down the street, that would take us into the center or Rome. Word of advice, purchase a bus pass. Because of the ancient sites in Rome, metro tunnels arent allowed to be dug under any of that touristy area. Therefore, you've got a good half hour walk or so to get into the sites once you get off the metro. If you happen to go to this hostel, i recommend you take an old book you don't want anymore. I say this, because they have a "take a book, leave a book" exchange. There's a pile of books that one can take, and replace with one of their own. An interesting international exchange if you will. We got You Only Live Twice (the James Bond book)

I really enjoyed my stay in this hostel. It was clean and tidy. The staff and othertravellers were very friendly. I've made some great friends who I'm hoping to see in the future. As I was travelling on my own I was a bit nervous but was made to feel welcome and by the end of the week kept calling it'home' by mistake!

I spent a two nights here recently with two other friends, while we were making our way through Italy. This hostel wound up being a lot better then others we stayed at. It is very, very close to the Vatican and about a 20 minute walk from most of the major attractions in Rome. The neighborhood is fine and it is relatively close to the metro, only about 5 blocks. If only in Rome for a weekend or a few days I would suggest it. The staff was nice also. My only problem was that I was not able to use the internet due to rules they have about when and how much you can use the computers that are kind of ridiculous and very limiting.

We stayed here for 1 night recently in a 6-bedded room with bathroom. The hostel was basic, but clean and friendly. The shower was hot (altho very small!!). The best thing about this hostel is the location- 2mins from the vatican and 2 mins from a metro stop! Really good!! The area felt quite safe too (we ended up walking back to the hostel quite late due to the metro being closed and didnt feel too uncomfortable [2 females])

Word of warning! The metro was closed at 11.15pm- the guide books said 11.30pm!! Check what time it actually closes, it may be earlier!!
