Hostel Des Artistes Reviews

I had a poor time and didn't sleep but this was mostly because of a fellow dorm resident. I think the staff could have perhaps dealt with him a little better. They were reluctant to ask him to leave/reprimand him, or offer the other people in the dorm any kind of recompense (he brought back a girl and began sleeping with her - both were drunk, and later urinated on the floor of the dorm). The hostel might consider providing male/female only dorms? The price was expensive for what was offered.

It's just like all the other anonymous hotel style hostels in Rome (I have been to four or five of them over the years). It's pretty close to the Yellow hostel bar if you're looking to meet other backpackers.

It will be much better to have a private locker. Thanks for the time.

I found the hostel to be clean and quiet, and the staff was helpful. It is a bit far from the center of Rome and most night activities, especially if you plan on walking all day, but it's close to the train station.

Value for money

This hostel needs to decide whether they are a hostel or a hotel. They have the amenities of a hostel (shared room, bath, common room, etc.); however, they try to charge you for any and everything that should be included in a hostel. You have to pay a 10 euro deposit for a single towel, 8 euros for breakfast, 2 euros for 24 hours of wifi, a locker to keep your things safe (even when you have a shared room), and a 10% tax which they fail to mention anywhere when you pay online.

Image of hostel that sharing hotel room with four bed. One power plug for each person. Wifi signal is strong, but you should pay. (2euro per day, I remember.) Strongly suggest if you need to take early bus/train at the victoria station or arrive late.

More of a hotel than a hostel, not much interaction unless the day is nice and you happen to go on the rooftop. Very close to the Termini, but not close to anything else.

The staff was difficult to deal with. This was the least welcoming hostel I have been to. The failities were not that bad but the showers did not drain well, the terrace and computer room closed early, and it was always a huge deal to change things with your reservation.

Overall it's was a good experience. There were small things: the shower worked but was broken and drizzled water out, there is no wifi in the rooms, and no complimentary breakfast. The good things were there are plenty of power outlets (a biggie for any tourist), the staff was very helpful, there is a room with a computer if you must use the Internet.

excellent

Nice hostel with friendly staffs. Good location as well.

The place of hostel is in good location, near train station and metro, there's a supermarket if anybody needs to buy something. There is all facilities what traveller needs. It is a shame that breakfast is not included in total price.

The hostel was very clean, and everything was in good condition. Location was pretty good even though not in the center. During our five days stay we didn't see any other people, because the were no kitchen nor common room in our building. Very nice hostel for couples and friends who look for cheap accommodation, but I wouldn't recommend it to single travelers.

Friendly Staff. VERY clean. Mature, not a hostel full of kids (Though some are around). This is a HOTEL with shared restrooms. I do not think there is wheelchair access. efficient heating. The bar directly across the street is a US tourist trap. If you want to meet people, take in local culture and party, do not stay here. if you want to sight-see, have a family on a budget but comfortably, this is your place.

was definetely worth more than i paid! kind of like a hotel. there are two computers in common room or you can pay 2€ for wifi 24h. would have been nice to be able to access kitchen. otherwise, it was a great experience!!

I stayed here for two nights on 18 and 19th of Feb. I checked in at night and feel satisfied with the staff in the frontdesk. They serve politely and fast. The room was over my expectation (due to the price). so it's very valuable. I stayed at 5th floor and since they provide a lift, that doesnt matter. The only thing I wanna suggest to this hostel is to provide the bathroom with towel for the floor or mop because I found one bathroom in 5th floor always be wet. overall this place is great.

This hostel was great! The major points of Rome are easily accessible by metro and it's super close to Termini, which is a definite plus. The rooms were very clean overall and the hotel felt safe. You can also get a discount on breakfast at the bar right across the street. Our stay was fabulous; the only minor thing I would comment on is that the beds were hard. Other than that, it was perfect!

Location close to the Termini station and subway was perfect. The Hostel was more like a hotel. Maybe not the best place for meeting new people. A living room or kitchen to hang in was the only thing we missed. The hostel has a nice rooftop terrace though. We thought it was quite inexpensive considering what you get for the money. I would definitely recommend this hostel.

Not bad, still....I wouldn't really say this is an hostel. The atmosphere is the one of an hotel.
