A good location and the girls on reception drew me out a great walking tour map and where friendly and helpful. BUT the showers are pot luck to whether they are hot or cold or even work, its crazy loud at night with the bar below the hostel and there are zero lockers in the rooms. You can leave your laptop on the shelf behind the reception with a post-it note with your name on! (hardly fool proof security) And the lockers that there are by the front desk are 10cm x 10cm x 15cm max!.

Very good, the only problem is the toilets, there's only two bathrooms per floor so you have to be patient if you want to take a shower in the morning, and brave enough to take it with cold water. Other than that I recommend it, great stay!

Only a two minute walk from the Termini train station and shuttles every 30 minutes to the airport - the location can't be beat! The people at the reception were nice and planned a super itinerary for me and helped me cover all the important spots in Rome. They also have day trips to Pompeii.

The kitchen is open from 3pm to 10 pm. So you cannot cook for lunch and before 10 pm you have to leave the kitchen because they have to clean the kitchen so few space to share with friends. No hot water in the 4th floor and even in one of the 3th floor.

Awesome location! Right next to termini and easy walk to most sights. NO hot water so some icy mornings and not enough bathrooms for the amount of people. Also uncomfortable beds but overall good expirence. Cheap and I would stay again for a short visit

This hostel lacks atmosphere. The staff can be condescending and sometimes rude and not exactly helpful.

We got upgrade to a room with bathroom, but it was sooo smelling pee, awful to leave the door open. No hot water on our level, I just found out downstairs had hot water on the last day, terrible. Staff is very good.

The staff and location were great. We got free food and drinks because they were celebrating their 18 year anniversary. Only complaints were the shower was awful...literally when turned all the way on dripped for the majority of the time and water flow stopped completely twice in one instance. Also the bathroom smelled somewhat moldy.

Pretty average hostel. Staff were friendly, cleanliness was so-so. They only give you a thin sheet to sleep in. Best thing about it is the location as it's really close to the train station. You also get discount off food and drink from the cafe next door.

The location is very good especially if you choose to utilize the metro, but even if you do not it is in a very central location. The mattreses are not the comfiest and the showers leave something to be desired. I also question the security of the luggage room; as I was able to grab the key to it from the reception while no one was there and remove my bag. All that being said, I enjoyed my stay and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I think it is a good value for the money.

The location is fantastic. You can't beat a 2 minute walk from the Roma Centrali train station. The staff are very friendly, and the rates are very reasonable. But be prepared to possibly take your luggage up a few flights of stairs.
