Hostel- Alessandro is great for backpackers. Although I would recommend requesting a room closer to the ground floor since the flights of stairs are horrendous especially with a 30 lbs+ bag on your back.

Staff- OK. When we arrived, the hostel was completely swarmed by backpackers so the staffs were quite occupied and not that accommodating. We were allowed to leave our luggage since it was too early to check in at the time.

Rooms- The rooms are spacious and clean. We shared a 6- person room.

Showers- Inside the room. Clean and spacious.

Location- Conveniently located making much of Rome easily accessible either by foot or by metro. Literally a 3- minute walk from Termini station.

Tip- If you're across town at night, finding your way back can be a bit of a challenge. It's a long walk either way so plan your evenings accordingly.

Terrible value for double rooms- 100 euros per night for a horrible room with old dirty furniture, very musty and towels & sheets that looked like roman relics. Safe, fridge & airconditioner all broken during our stay. We left early to stay in a lovely hotel down the road for the same price & could not get a full refund.
Did not see dorm rooms so cannot comment.
Good location & friendly staff- but not enough!

We were on a stag doo so you can imagine the level of tom foolery this place deals with on a regular basis, but there was absolutely no problems at all. The rooms were basic but clean. Only small problem was the air conditioning didn't come on till 11 at night so if you were in the room during the day it was extremely warm and clammy.
The hotel bar is one of the more lively places in Rome and had the cheapest drinks we could find. At one point we were almost naming our prices to the bar tender.
I would highly recommend this place for travelers and weekenders alike.

We stayed in a 8 person dorm...

The location is good, although could be conceived as seedy after night fall... 5min to Termni station and walkable distance to most attractions, although still a fair hike!

The bar was good fun and good value for drinks, although there wasn't much around the area to do once the bar closed, was a long way to the nightclub/bar area of town.

The bathroom was a good size and clean enough.

Did have some trouble with a few different drunken room-mates (BOTH NIGHTS DIFFERENT PEOPLE), but hey, in a 8 person dorm what do you expect.

All in all, not bad, but if you're after a party place, probably try something closer to the night scene.

  • Liked — Price and Cleanliness
