The trek from Termini is worth it. This place is comfortable, safe, and located in one of the loveliest neighborhoods in Rome: Trastevere. The staff are friendly and helpful, there is free internet access, rooms and bathrooms are clean, and there are hot showers. Even in the morning. Both private rooms and dorm beds are available.

26 Euros includes a dorm bed [not bunk bed] with sheets, towels, closet with a lock, and a continental breakfast with a good variety- cereal, yogurt, toast, cheese, ham, spreads, coffee, tea, juice, etc.

Also, guests get a 10% discount at the restaurant downstairs, which is a cafeteria style eatery open for lunch and dinner, serving delicious home cooked meals. I really enjoyed my stay here and met some really great people as well. I recommend the Foresteria to all women travelers headed to Rome.
