The Pop Inn hostel was a great way to start my travelling around Italy we ckecked in late as our flight didn't land untill the very ear;y hours of the morning and the guy at the desk was very nice and plesent. as it is only a small hostel it was easy to get to know other travlers and the free sangraia and shots that they provided helped aswell. Being so close to the train station was great a little noisey but what do you expect when staying in the middle of a city.
Really enjoyed it and will be back soon hopefully.

This is the worst place to stay. To be quiet frank it is a "dump." The people were very nice when we checked in but, after that they were very unhelpful and [--]. Not to mention the price. Rip-off. The train station is across the street which is nice but, they are doing a ton of construction around the area which makes it impossible to sleep. My recommendation would be to stay closer to Vatican City. DON'T STAY HERE!

The room itself was OK. The community bathroom was a little on the dirty side. I would never stay here again though. It felt rather expensive for what it really was. Although you would think that being close to the train station would be convenient, in reality it just means that it's a bad area with homeless people fighting.

I spent a lot of time researching hostels in Rome, so when we arrived at Pop Inn I was highly disappointed. First, we arrived at 10:30pm. Which is great since it was next to the train station (the ONLY good quality of the whole place). However, it seemed that every homeless person/creep was hanging out just outside the train station. I did not feel safe at all the area at night. Secondly, their website claims they will take cash (you just have to pay 20% more.) When we arrived they refused to take credit card. When we reached our room we were told by our roommates that the showers on our floor were freezing cold (and it was.) The toilet also clogged constantly and was really difficult to flush. (hence people didn't flush it and then it would clog). In addition, the free internet is down the street where a big Indian man will stand behind you and watch you the entire time. The breakfast is also down the street at a cafe (hence the "24 hour breakfast" which is only offered from 5:30am to 11pm. Also, at 11:30 at night, the front desk worker came up to our room, woke us up, and in broken English asked if our roommate checked out. My husband also woke up with spider bites twice. Overall, a terrible place to stay. Go somewhere else.
