Residence Don Bosco was a little far from the city center for me. Although I am not a party animal, even I found it difficult to get back to the hotel because of work being done on the metro (it closed earlier) and the buses were extremely sporadic after 10 pm. Anyway, I would have felt safer, spent less money, and done more if I had not had to spend so much time traveling back and forth from the center of town (about 20 minutes).

The Residence itself was pretty good...clean, comfortable, and new, but very basic (tile floors, generic maple furniture). It really was very much like a dorm - but a brand new dorm with a GREAT bathroom, air conditioning controlled in the room, and satellite tv that had at least 2 English language channels. There is no internet access unless you bring your own laptop, so be warned (the site I booked through was not specific on that point so I was a little disappointed at having to use the access point in the back of a nearby market).

Breakfast was a little spare, but to be expected for the price, and the front desk staff were professional but not overly friendly.

Don Bosco Residenze in Rome is a wonderfull and cosy hostel. All is very clean just like at home, I would say you can eat here from the ground - its that clean. Great price, friendly staff at the reception, you feel very safe of course, nice large rooms (doublebed) and brand new bathroom. From all the locatoins in Europe, this was the best i have ever visited. I booked via hostelworld.com and stayed 5nights.

The subway is very close, just across the street (cca 10min walk) and there are lot of shops (incl. supermarket)near the residenze.

I would come again.
