The breadfast was terrible, consisting of junk food: aged old packed roissant, packed cake, packed juice, which I think could not privide enough energy for walking even only an hour around Rome. For the last two days we decided not to eat the breadfast they prepared. I also witnessed the manager stored all the breadfast stuff in the drawer (The drawer was filled up with whole bunch of those packed foods.)and prepared it in one minute. The rooms were terrible,too. They were painted in different horrible colors that you barely want to open your eyes. You could do nothing but sleeping. Our room was very only half the size of the other rooms but was still charged the same price of 80 euros. We think it is cheating. The bed was a kind of camp bed framed with plywood. There was no talbe nor chair in the room, so I had to sit on the bed. Because the bed was lower than the frame, I could not sit on the bed instead of hanging my legs on the plywood frame. Of course it wouldn't last even a munite. We had nothing to do but lying in bed. Reading was impossible because the strange lighting made eyes hurt. The owner was an invisible woman, hiring a terribe-mannered manager serving the guests. Twice she appeared to prepare breadfast after we have left the hotel. Rome is a wonderful place to visit, but the hotel left as a terrible memory. I strongly resent the experience.

A nice little Hostel, only 3 rooms, so very quite. Great location. The breakfast was a bit poor & the showers turn hot & cold every minute but very clean. Make sure you have the phone number of the hostel when you arrive as you will have to call before you can get in. Also don't go by the map that the website provides, the location is in totally the wrong place, go by the address printed with the phone number.

Great hostel!! Rome is a VERY busy city and this was a nice oasis to come back to at night. It is very safe and secure. There are only three rooms, so you won't meet many people if that's what you're after, but it's nice and private and quiet. There is a fridge but no stove. My only complaint is that the breakfast was crappy. Highly recommended hostel!!

This was a great place to stay, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The only things I wasn't quite satisfied with was the breakfast, shower and internet. Don't be fooled by the "bed and breakfast" label. There is no hot breakfast - only store-bought croissants, breakfast bars, juice boxes and coffee set out on a table for you to grab and go. The shower was really bad ... it runs scalding hot and then freezing cold, no matter what setting you have it on. It changes randomly on its own every few minutes. So be prepared for unpredictable changes in water temperature. The internet is not in the hostel itself, but in a laundromat down the street that was closed every time we tried to go and check our e-mails. But considering the reputation of hostels in Rome, if you can live without a full breakfast, reliable shower and internet, this is an excellent, clean, safe place to stay.

We missed the information that we had to be at the hostel at the appointed time - that there would be no attendant at other times. The information was given in a letter we received - but still we did not understand the meaning/importane of the message. Several other guests we met had the same experience!

A nice hostelwith pleasant staff. Should have been as it was the dearest of all the hostels we have had in Greece and Italy over 9 weeks. Would be really bad in summer as there is no airconditioning
