People came in at 5 am and brought an extra partner with them, which made us feel very uncomfortable. The check-in was also confusing. You have to check-in one place and walk to another street to the hostel.

This is not a hostel but a typical italian \"pensione\" (empty apartment transformed into a guesthouse). It is owned by an earnest chinese lady who also runs a restaurant a few blocks away where hosts are served breakfast (1 coffee + 1 pastry). Linen was clean, 2 shared bathrooms had clogged showers. The beds were uncomfortable due to metal meshing that felt like a hamac. It is still an ok place for the price. You get your own keys. The area is much nicer than on the other side of Termini station.

This is a very small hostel. There are only 3 rooms of about 6 beds each and 2 bathrooms, so it had a very homey feel and I got to know my roommates well. The staff at the restaurant overseeing the hostel recognized us all and were friendly. Location: 2 blocks from main station, 30 min walking to Colosseum, 50 min to Vatican, so that was awesome! The 2 bathrooms were broken while I was there, so it was hard to shower or use the toilet. If not for that, it would have been awesome!

It's good place only to sleep and than spend a whole day in the city. There is no 'living room' or kitchen. The location is great, 5min. from Termini station, where you can catch a metro or go for a walk to all interesting places in Rome.

A hostel must have a kitchen service which is lagging.

the hostel is near the Central station (Termini) so it's close to public trasport. The staff was Ok but there was no towel provided and 2 bathrooms for 3 private rooms is not enough (the toilets are inside the bathroom). They should put a floorcloth inside...

I loved that breakfast was included and other meals were 10% off, the free & cheap food partially made up for higher prices. I felt that prices were a big too high though, other places were already filled up though. Location was great and close to many main attractions

I would like to thank all the staff for having treated us very well, always helpful and respectful. The breakfast was very good, but I think it should have more options like fruits, other types of breads, butters and more. The restaurant's service was very good. The hostel is nice, needs more lockers with keys so we can keep our belongings and carpets need to be placed in bathrooms, because were too wet. I liked the beds and sheets. The hostel is simple, but well structured. I'd go back for sure

Perfect location and a very good breakfast every morning.croissants with chocolate and marmelade and coffee of course!Also the ensuite rooms are very clean and the staff is very friendly.If someone wants to stay at Rome for a few days and not to spend a lot of money is a good choice!!:)

It was very interesting, the only thing is the lack of internet: I´ve chosen the hostel thinking i would be able to have wifi on my room but in the end i had to cross the street, go to the restaurant (where the front desk is) and use their connection there.
