Ivanhoe Hostel Reviews

Very nice hostel and staff. That's a place I was looking for since many years. The opportunity to meet new people and go out at night. There was also free cocktail and disco party. Absolutely worth the money.

Good hostel. A little bit loud at night which it seemed was more to benefit the owners then the guests at times, but still a great deal. Clean and certainly a great price.

The hostel has a great atmosphere for meeting people and having a good time. Lovely staff, great location, the showers were cold when i was there but i think it was just a temporary problem. They have something on every night eg. Free dinner or free cocktails. It is a great place to stay.

Very miss u guys from the staff, we loved u so much:)))) Hungarian sisters..

This hostel was nice enough. Small, but they had activities in the common room every night (like free cocktails or pasta) that brought people together. The first guy that greeted me was not very helpful or warm, but most of the staff were really cool. They only have small lockers to put only your most valuable stuff in, but there's no place to lock up backpacks or anything like that. At first I was annoyed by the 5 hour lockout time, but it's really not that inconvenient. Good for the money

nice environment, staff and people very friendly. the treatment is very personal just few lockers per room, so if you need one you may need to keep your things in a different room nice experience, thanks!

Nice place! Free pasta and booze a couple of nights, and the staff and other guests were very friendly!

The rooms and WCs were dirty. The location was almost perfect in terms of visiting the main highlights of Rome but I do not recommend this hostel to anybody.

Because of the price and the location it is definitely worth the money! But I did not feel that comfortable there. The Hostel closes from 11 - 16 h, so nobody was allowed to stay inside! 4 Lockers for a 10 Bed Dorm! And either you had your own lock pad or you had to rent one. What was also very disappointing was the "party hostel" description here in hostelworld. When I came on sunday there was NOTHING going on! The next day they had free cocktails and a shot, it was alright, but I expected more

This really is a party hostel, so if after 8hrs of walking around rome you want to simply curl up and sleep do not stay here. But otherwise this is a great place, free drinks in the evening(!) means that it is quite social and The hostel is right near the metro in a cool area. Breaky was two euros and was really surprisingly good. Overall a bargain gem.

This is the best hostel I've ever stayed in in terms of atmosphere and meeting people. The staff are very friendly and every night they cook pasta or provide free cocktails - it gets everyone into the common area and mixing with each other. There's always a bunch of people going out each night. At midnight they clear the common area and switch off the music so it's no problem getting to sleep. There's no keys for the rooms and only 3 lockers in a 6 bed dorm.

staff was very helpful and the spaghetti nights were so much fun!

The Hostel was very dirty. The bathrooms. The Hostel has a policy that makes us leave from 12pm till 16pm for what they claim cleaning time, but I didnt see it. Also the shower, its hard to get hot water, Everybody during the period I stayed had the same problem, and the staff played blind.

The staff immediately make you feel comfortable by joking around with you and they showed me all the important monuments on the map and a great, cheap place to get food. Though the guy didn't want to show me where the tourist bureau was because he thought I'd buy a Roma pass with them instead of him I guess. I happened to arrive on Saturday which was perfect because that was pasta night. We got free pasta and played drinking games until 12 which was terrific.

I highly recommend it you want to have a nice place to stay

Really great place, and party atmosphere

Great atmosphere, almost nightly a party or free meal. It's a good place to meet people from the world over. The security is acceptable if you rent a lock (2 euros) and put your stuff in a locker. The staff is very friendly. The hostel is greatly located to visit the city. I made 3 looping walks and it never took long to reach the first sight. The bed was neat but not all that comfortable. Bath rooms were surprisingly clean for being used by that many. Shower water never really got warm though.

very good location close to the Cavour subway stop. very delicious free pasta dinner on one of the nights, friendly staff. only wish there were some more bathrooms!

Rome didn't really have a huge party scene, or at least in the area that I found, so the hostel wanted to be much more party hostel than it was, but they had free alcohol or pasta most nights, bunch of cool people staying there and they asked for quiet after midnight. Doors didn't lock though, but they had small lockers for free with your padlock. Didn't have a problem with dirt or staff, location was great.

The staff were extremely friendly and create a very sociable environment, will definitely recommend to friends and return!
