  • no wifi in the room...they told me i have to goto the living room but it was still not working so i had to go all the way to the other side of the hallway to make it work no towel but some hostels dont provide towel and i understand that but most importantly the girl who was working at night and morning time was so sweet and cute gosh....she made my day....

  • This was a great hostel. Awesome location, very clean and the staff was amazingly helpful. I would only have two suggestions one being having a power outlet and small light for each bed. Second was the water pressure in the showers went in and out. However, still one of the best hostels I have stayed in during my 3 month tour of Europe. Thanks!

  • The staff was excellent. They were very helpful with anything you needed to know and just extremely friendly. The rooms were great. Lots of room and the lockers actually fit a backpack with room to spare. The community room was great with tour books and computers. I even could connect to the internet from my room. Everything was so clean and new looking. The location was a perfect distance from the train/subway and historical area. I would definitely recommend that anyone going to Rome stay here

  • This hostel had an absolutely FANtastic location! It's a tad hard to find the first time but after that, it's a cinch. The beds were a bit dirty and you can only get wi-fi if you're in the living room which is a bit tough but other than that, it was perfect. The shower was warm, the bathroom clean, and there was a boudoir (if you're into that kind of thing). It had a super cute elevator to come up and a courtyard downstairs. It is warm at night so I would bring the tiniest thing you can find to sleep in
