The hostel itself is a little hard to find, but there were two nice Italian men hanging out nearby to call the hostel owners. All good. The room was nice and great accommodations.

An absolutely brilliant experience! At first couldn't really figure out how to get in but then found the note on the buzzer that was left and the staff were there swiftly! The staff were so friendly and the twin room that we stayed in was large, clean and the window opened out onto the lovely courtyard! The beds were comfy and the bathroom was also very clean! Loved the shower that flashed different colours according to the temperature! Brilliant experience!!! :-)

Nice place, especially the courtyard in front. It was a little loud at night, being near the train station, but overall a nice place to stay.

Never pay before the last moment in this hostel!!!!!!! I made the stupid mistake to pay one day before we were leaving, I paid to Elena (cleaning lady), we agreed that they will keep our luggage until 2 pm the next day. The day we had to do the check out, noone appeared, when I called to complain they just said that they didnt have available staff to received the keys or handle the luggage. Please, pay until the last moment or they will not care at all!!!!

It would have been nice if the staff were a bit more friendly and more available. Although everything worked out well it felt like we were a bit of a pain rather than welcome customers! However, a really lovely place to stay and perfect for our needs.

Advertised free wifi but that was not the case. There was zero Internet. Staff unable to provide directions or even identify location of hostel on a map

Lovely stay, very clean and friendly staff: they even provide you with a free map and lots of suggestion for enjoying your stay in Rome, amazing! Too bad there was no wifi and the free breakfast was just a promo card for a nearby bar with 1 croissant and 1 coffee per person. Minor disappointment in an otherwise flawless accommodation.

We had an incredible stayed in Lilliput hostel. Everything was really clean and the staff is absolutely nice. The bedroom was big enough and the other room like bathroom and kitchen were good. The location is near from all the big attractions like colosseum and the forum. Muchisimas gracias por hacernos la estancia en el hostal tan agradable y por toda la información que nos brindasteis a la entrada. Grazie mille!

Cute little place that's more of a B&B than a hostel, which we all loved! For Rome, it's reasonably priced and it's also right around the corner from the Termini Bus Station (which has shuttles to/from airports) and the Termini metro stop. At night, the area can look a little dodgy, but we had no problems at all -- just spend your days and nights exploring the sights and take the metro back at the end of your evening! Rooms and bathrooms were also very clean, and free breakfast was tasty!

The hostal was super clean and very convenient to Termini station in Rome. Staff and owners very friendly. There is no internet on site ( many internet cafes close to Termini station) There are no cooking faclities and for the last 3 days there was no microwave working.We would return to this hostal

Lilliput was a great place to stay overall, great location and a 20 minute walk anywhere in Roma. It is difficult to get in when you first arrive, especially without a working phone in Italy. We had to call the owners and wait for them to come. It is less like a hostel, just 3 rooms to rent and a shared bathroom. But it is in a courtyard with a gate and a key to get in the gate, another key to get in the building, then your key to the "apartment" and key to our room- so very secure.

The stove did not work. There was available just a microwave. This is hard to make the meals. It should be warned for people before arriving in there. However, the support all the staff was great.

I didn't find anyone to do the check-out at 6 am so I had to leave the keys in the room.

Make sure you have money in your cell-phone: at arrival, you'll find a post-it at the gate asking to call the number in the paper so they come to open the door and give you the keys. Really clean, really calm, comfortable beds, freedom to check-in and out when you wish. Loved it. You'll pay more 2€ per person, per nigh - Roma's rules.

This is a very good value for money hostel. Only 3 rooms with one shared bathroom. Great location 2 minutes from the central railway station. Check in process was a little difficult without the owners on site and it is not well sign posted. Advertised as having free internet but not offered. However a number of reasonably priced internet cafes in close proximity.

The location is good, close to Termini station and on a street without traffic noise. The room is clean. Very friendly owners.

Lilliput Hostel is a cute little hostel! The location was PERFECT! Seeing that it is very close to the main metro station and stop. The area at night is a little "sketch" but overall we felt secure. The place was clean and the room was cleaned every day. The room was very cute and everything was great! Also, the owner showed us around the area and gave us great suggestions regarding places to go, eat, etc. when we arrived. The breakfast included is DELICIOUS! Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
