The staff at Hostella was very friendly and helpful. It's very clean, nice shared bathrooms, and solid free WiFi. It's also located very close to Termini (and on the less scary side!).

We only stayed for one night when we arrived in Rome, it is a 3 min walk from the train station and very easy to find which is nice when coming to a new city. Room was a good size with decent beds, there is wifi in the room which is awesome. Bathroom was a little small and since it was a shared one we had to wait to use it most times. It is quite a walk to the center of Rome - about 30 min. But overall from what we gathered in our one nights stay is that its a great place to stay for the price.

Wish they had a bigger locker for my stuff, sometimes the desk girls were real flip about doing their job (people trying to print things or trying to be buzzed into the building, etc) but overall a nice place. Right by Termini so that's great, but also all the big sites are very walkable from here.

I highly recommed Hostella! The staff was helpful and the location was central to everything going on in Rome. This was my first hostel experience and I would certainly consider staying there again.

Nice place that is very close to Termini, so all the major attractions are easily reachable by metro. Not a very social able place but it was very clean and bathrooms were nice and easy to share. Staff was helpful with information. Breakfast was pretty basic but good, overall good value for the money.

It's a little hard to find at first but I asked a local hotel and had no problem after that. Also there are lockers but no locks on them so make sure you bring your own. But overall great value for money. I would stay there again and recommend it to friends.

Though I had only stayed one night at this hostell, I definitively recommend it to travelling-alone young women (or in small groups). The shared rooms are nice and confortable (be sure to carry an extra lock in case you want to use the locker). I've seen either that the staff (2 young, nice Italian women) are kind and -with other girls who where staying longer- are very friendly and chatty. They also speak English and Spanish. A very clean place.

The room and bathroom are cleaning, and location is near railway station, and staff is also very nice. But when you try to find the place, the name is another one, if the first time visit, I felt a little bit confused.

Excellent location - very close to the train station. The room is quite spacious (I was booking a 4-female dorm yet ended up getting a 2, which is cool). Room, bed and bathrooms r clean.I also like the idea that it is female only. The only bad thing I would say is that there is no visible sign at all which makes locating it not quite easy - so just look for it based on the address with street name and number.

Good hostel. Felt safe and met other travelers. There is not that much to do around the hostel but it's very close to metro and train station. The only complaint is that wireless wasnt that great and you couldn't use it in your room.

Really a nice hostel. Rooms and bathrooms are clean and staffs are kind, speaking really good English. The only defects are the disappointed breakfast and the cash payment.

El hostal en general estaba bien pero tenían cero criterio!! Viaje con una amiga en un vuelo de madrugada por lo cual no dormimos nada el hostal esta lejos del terminal central y llegar a el con maleta es muy cansador, llegamos tipo 10 am y nos atendió un chico el cual nos dijo que el check in es a las 3

Great value, great location - close to Termini Train Station and many shops/restaurants. Good for a short stay - will return.

This hostel is good, but not great. It is located outside of the center, which can be annoying, but it is only a couple of blocks from termini station. So, if you're looking for a place to stay for a couple of days before you head to the airport, this place is good because transportation is an easy walk. The staff was good and the hostel itself was clean, but I would have preferred somewhere closer to trastevere or centro storico.

Hostella female only was wonderful, just what I needed in Rome with a quieter atmosphere. The staff were really friendly and always willing to give suggestions. I had chats with several of them over the course of my stay. The beds are pretty comfy. Bring a lock for your locker! It would be nice if the lower bunks had reading lights or there were plugs close to your bed for your phone. My roommates once unplugged my phone here and plugged theirs in with my charger but not the hostels fault.
