M&J Hostel Reviews

Stayed for 4 nights. Wi-Fi was "free," but it wasn't (currently) available in the hostel itself - had to access it through the bar next door (who insisted that you buy something). I did fine without constant internet access, but could have been annoying if you can't "unplug." Great staff, very helpful/fun. The location was great - brief walk from Termini, easy to find. Was hoping for a better common area so the guests could mingle a bit more. Recommended for the cost, staff, and location.

Great location, but wifi was only in the bar which not everybody like hanging out in the bar.

Horrible hostel ( Bad rooms, poor soul, dirty, uncomfortable

way overpriced. very unclean. dirty bathrooms and showers. rude staff trying to scam you into eating and drinking from the bar thats supposed to be part of the hostel but it's downstairs outside and in the next building. then when you go to claim your drink from the bar they tell you its only between certain times. buy a coffee. stone cold. give it back. stone cold again. i gave up. plastic beds sheets. hot rooms with powerpoints that dont work. staff leave you standing there. worst hostel yet.

The staff were really helpful and friendly, but I wasn't happy that I could only pay in cash for my stay. There also was no wifi in the actual hostel, had to move to a separate location in the building to access it. The dorms were nothing special either. The only reason I booked and stayed at this hostel is because I needed to be very close to the train station, which it is. Otherwise would not stay here again.

The location of this hostel was perfect...right next to the train station. The breakfast that they promote that is 3 Euro was not very good, the food was out for while. There were no lockers or places to put valuables. But, it was nice because they had two computers for use and a room to hang out it. They also had a luggage room which was nice. It wasn't bad, but I would've appreciated lockers, better breakfast, and cleaner bathrooms.

No lockers. No energy plugs. No wifi. Good location and great staff.

Staff were very helpful; rooms were large and clean; location was close to everything. Have to pay with cash, no credit card. Would recommend staying.

The bathrooms could be cleaner, but other than that I have no other complaints. The staff was very helpful, and the hostel is very well run!

Good location, very easy to find. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Girl's bathroom is nice and clean. Beds are very old and squeaky. Had to climb four flights of stairs with our bags to get to our room. Building in general is not very clean.

Despite poor reviews, I booked here because I was on a tight budget. I was on the 4th floor - stuffy, overcrowded. Can\'t open the windows at night because it was so loud, its like sleeping at a bus station. No air con, and it was like sleeping in a sauna. Was there during spring - cannot imagine what summer there is like. Bathrooms are pathetic - bathrooms were literally half covered in mould and filthy. Can\'t use kitchen till 1500, so you\'re forced to eat their dismal breakfast for 3 Euros.

I'm very happy with my stay. It took me 5 minutes to get from the Termini station to the hostel, which was clearly marked with a sign. Despite the 10 people dorm everyone was nice and considerate and you got to sleep without being woken up by noisy people. The staff was excellent and very helpful - their English was great and I had no trouble communicating whatsoever. Only downside was the floor of the mixed bathroom but the only-girls bathroom was nice and clean. Definitely recommendable.

Even though there are many bad reviews, we had a great stay! It's a hostel...so what do you expect...all you need is a bed to sleep and some guidance from the staff. Good location! Stayed for 4 nights.Not much to complain!Still recommend!

Worst hostel of our trip. Staff was somewhat nice. They tell you where to go on a map and how to get there. No decent common area to hang out. The kitchen is open only at a specific time of the day. 3 euro breakfast, not free. Horrible bathrooms. Always dirty except for an hour after they cleaned it. Water stopped running during showers. The room was hot and stuffy and when we opened the windows, it was too loud to sleep. Never again. Nothing for birthday as promised. Had to remind them 3 times

No lockers. Mattress was covered with plastic that made noises even for a little movement. The toilet can be improved. On the + side, the price was excellent. Very near to Termini. The most important thing was all the staffs were friendly and helpful! When I asked one guy the best option to see the city in two days by walking, he drafted a complete route on a map for the 1st and 2nd day to follow to see interesting places in Rome which in the end lead back to the hostel. I was very satisfied!

The hostel (and in particular the bathrooms) was/were incredibly dirty. Services that were advertised as free online (breakfast/towels) were charged for. The towels offered were mouldy. In short, my friend and I tried to spend as little time at the hostel as possible.

Staff were not friendly ( doesn't include all staff) felt very unwelcome and almost contemplated finding another hostel last minute. Made to feel I was a hassle. No wifi and computers were in an awkward location right by front desk - lack of privacy Beds were horrible with plastic bed covers under sheets - horrible feeling and sounds. Beds were rickety and thought bunks were going to collapse.. Shower and bathrooms were old, tiny and very unpleasant Rooms smelt

The worst hostel I have ever been. From the beggining to the end, everything was terrible (except the staff which was nice!). Besides, although it's near to Termini station, after 10pm is an dangerous place.

close your hostel, it's the best advice for you, or just fire your staff

Clean, spacious hostel very close to Termini railway station. Friendly staff who are happy to help with anything all hours of the day.
