I had an excellent stay at this hostel. It was clean, the staff was friendly, and its location is amazing. I didn't mind the loud music because it helps create a fun atmosphere, and they turn it off at midnight so it didn't keep me up. Also the breakfast is very good, for sure worth 2 euro. I would stay here again!

I´ve been already in others 2 hostels in Roma and Ivanhoe is the best one. Good value money, staff friendly. Always trying to promoto partys. I recommend, if you come alone or without a girlfriend, this is the right place

Only two bathrooms for the whole hostel. They kick you out from like 11-2 or noon to 4 or something like that so they can clean. Most hostels will let you lie in your bed or sit at a computer if you want, but they literally make you leave the hostel for four hours. Staff seemed bored, and boring. Rooms were cramped. They nickled and dimed you too, everything cost money; internet, towels, linens, lockers. I would not go to this hostel, there are better, cheaper places in Rome.

The bed is scary. it has no stairs and the wood to retain the bed is too tiny. the room is very cold, close to the window and no heather. the room has no key. but the breakfast is cheap it's 2 eur. It's ok for people that likes party.

It is a small hostel, but that is why the pasta evenings were so nice. Everyone in the hostel is coming together and you can meet a lot of other travelers. The negative points were that the rooms are a bit small, there is not enough place to put the suitcases and bags of everyone and it is noisy in the hostel because it is that small. But I knew that last thing already, so I did not mind. But overall it was a super hostel with great staff.

The common events every evening (pasta & cocktail parties) create a very nice atmosphere that you are missing in most other Italian hostels. you get to know very well other people though this. great location, very nice and helpful staff cleanliness was not great, but ok, especially for the very low price

Staff were fine and kind when we checked in. We found the people to be the best part of the whole experience. Met people from all over the world who we then were able to party and get to know. Highly recommend this hostel.

Nice hostel but only if you like to party. Very good atmosphere, everyone is friendly but it is only reccommended to young people who like to party. If you want to sleep and visit the city during the day it may not be the best option.

Great location being close to the train station as well as the attractions like the coliseum. Only down fall are the beds which are not very comfortable.

I had a wonderful time in Ivanhoe hostel. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Hostel is clean and has a big kitchen. Free internet/Wi-Fi and the great location. The staff cooked for the entire hostel free food and free booze plus night out party (also free). A great place to meet wonderful people from all around the world. I will be back for sure soon.
