While the guy running this place seemed nice, it was kind of a dump. Cigarette burns in the bed sheets, bathrooms of questionable cleanliness, no kitchen or common areas. I left at 8 a.m. just to get the hell out of here. But at least there weren't any bedbugs.

I didn't stay at the Hostel Lella, they moved me to the Hotel Beauty that has the same owner but it's located in Via Napoleone III. In the Hotel Beauty the bathroom was really dirty and the room noisy. I payed too much to stay in this place because is near the Termini station and nothing else.

This was the fourth hostel that I've stayed in in Rome; it wasn't the best but not the worst either. The main problem was the beds. One bed was so soft that you sank right into it and woke up with a bad back, then the pillow was like a sack of potatoes. The other beds were lumpy too. Also, the doors from the landing to the bedrooms must be unlocked by staff down in reception which is fair enough. But twice the door wasn't opened so I had to go down 5 flights of stairs and back up again.

The stay is just brillant. We got recommendations on where to go upon our arrival and where to dine. Our room was upgraded for private ensuite with a private bathroom for free. We also got free breakfast. Nothing is bad. We just love the stay there.

The staff was super helpful, friendly, spoke good English, and worked around the clock! My girlfriend and I received unexpected free breakfast and a bottle of wine! Despite having a room right next to the reception desk, this was a perfect stay!

Actually it isn't hostel, it's two stars hotel.Location is not so far away from Termini. Cleanless was so poor and bed has bedbugs.Internet is so fast and you dont have to pay for it so this is just one of the good part.Because to find internet it's really hard in italy.

Other than the fast internet speed, there's not much to recommend about this place. The bathroom was tiny, barely enough space to turn around. The room was also so small that you can't open the closet door fully. The beds were thin and you could feel the springs. There are other hostels in Rome that are cheaper but have better facilities and service.

I like the place, and the staff are kind. Thanks for the welcome drink (it's a wine!) they gave us that night.

The hotel is not in the best part of town... by any means. But I never had any issues and was able to commute into town/the center of the city VERY easily (which was very nice!). I had a great experience in Athens and the hotel was very adequate. It met all our needs and was definitely a good deal for the money, although later I heard from many people that staying near/in Omonia is very dangerous.

We had a very peasant stay at Hostel Lella. The staff is so likeable and generous! We always had nice and interesting chats with them. They gave us recommendations and further helpful info. Maps of the city are for free and they also gave us a bottle of wine. Additionally, we got a private bathroom even though we had booked a room with shared bathroom. Everything was very clean (-ed every day)! The room was small but sweet. Altogether, it's very good value for money, absolutely recommendable!

Staying in the Hotel Lella was one of my best decisions while traveling. The staff was extremely friendly, especially the man who lives in the Hotel. He was always willing to have a conversation and help out with anything he could. Check in and check out was extremely painless and the WIFI was always available. Someone is at the desk 24/7 which makes coming and going at all hours possible. I was able to leave my bags for free even after check out and they offer free breakfast at a nice cafe
