Ciak Hostel in Hong Kong, Italia

It is a nice smaller hostel, felt kind of relaxed and nice, there are internet posts, the beds in the dorms are comfortable, linen is clean, shared bathroom was inside the dorm room and had ventilation problems but was clean enough. There is free breakfast, with filter coffee and juice, cereal and toast, you can use the kitchen. The staff are south asian, generally nice but not very knowledgeable about Rome, beware of being misdirected. A fine quiet hostel and there is no age limit. Ariadna, from Canada ~ 1st May 2012

All hostels are not the same. Sure you get a bed, kitchen, shower and somewhere to store your stuff at any place. All those things being similar,I highly recomend this hostel becuase the staff was so awsome. They take thier time to explain the city, marking down the best spots on the map, they calm your nerves when you are hurried from being on the road. Evenings we would sit and tell wonderful travel stories over shared wine and food and it really made my trip to Rome memorable. Cynthia, from USA ~ 25th Apr 2012

Rooms are very cramped, as they are filled with beds. If you sleep on a lower bed, you are almost sleeping together with the persons next to you. You can hear when they flush the toilet in the adjacent rooms, which can be quite annoying. There is not that much to see near the hostel, but public transport is nearby, both Metroline A and several busstops. I used no 3 for Colloseum, and no 5 for Termini. Dawn, the English lady is very nice, and sometimes she cooks free dinner. Johnny, from Denmark ~ 14th Apr 2012

I stayed in the main building my first night and the Secret Garden the second night. Both were good, but the Secret Garden was absolutely adorable! Next time I'm in Rome, that will be my first pick for a place to stay! Leigh, from USA ~ 7th Apr 2012

Great service (dinner free sometimes), great location, great price. Near to restaurants, subway, market and Coliseum. I liked very much . I recommend! Daniela, from Brazil ~ 9th Apr 2012

The staff and atmosphere in Ciak Hostel was really very good. Lusine, from Armenia ~ 31st Mar 2012

We stayed in a double roum - Secret Garden. It is placed seperately a couple og blocks away from the Ciak Hostel. We had the room in the groudfloor, and had our own little private garden. Good location, close to prams (20 m) and a Metro stop (500 m), and within walking distance of Termini and Collosseum. Staff was nice, but sometimes a little too casual. :) The WiFi in Secret Garden was very unstable, and most of the time it didn't work, and it wasn't fixed by the staff.
