Excellent services, very helpful and friendly staff. Location is great — just 5 walk from the central station and you can pretty much go anywhere in the centre by foot. If you like walking you can even go to the Vatican City from there. Very clean rooms, good breakfast for additional 5 euros (just for a croissant and a capuchino you will pay the same or even more in a cafe in Rome, so it worths having the breacfast in the hotel).

This hostel is very nice and I really recommend it for all people who go there. It is located near the train station and the bus station which goes to the airport.

There is no elevator and wifi in the room! It's why I'm not so satisfied!

The bathroom still had the mop and bucket used to clean it all three times I used it, which was hardly an inconvenience but was still a little strange. Other than that, this was more of a hotel than a hostel and was the cleanest and prettiest hostel I've ever been in.

Dear Kelsey, thank you for your nice review! The mop in the bathoroom in not the one we use for cleaning, we just leave one there in case you might need to mop the floor after shower, just beacause a wet paviment can be dangerous. :) All the best!

This hostel was amazing! We got a complimentary bottle of Champagne and chocolate in our room if that is any idea how amazing this place is. It was very clean, the staff was very nice and helpful. They helped us with maps and told us where we could go to see tourist attractions. It was perfectly located, just a short walk from Termini station and all the tourist attractions were very walkable from the hostel. It was also pretty inexpensive. Stay here for sure.

It more of a hotel than a hostel. Close to the Termini station. Very small bathroom. The room was quite cold at night.

The day clerk was nice and responsive to questions. The night clerk, however, was not friendly and gave me the wrong advice about the Vatican Museum.

Very clean hostel, location is 5 minutes walk from the main train Termini station. Staff was very helpful showing us how to get to the main tourist attractions in Rome.

GREAT location! Right downtown, just a couple blocks from a main metro station. No lift/elevator. The beds are open, no curtains or anything, but the bathrooms have the showers in them, and are a good size. The common and eating area are pretty small, but it's a smaller hostel. Side note; DO NOT go to the Li Rong Caffe right down the street!!! The food is terrible, and they charge DOUBLE the posted price if you sit down and eat. The owner literally assaulted me when I complained.

Papa Germano was a great place to stay in Rome. The location was amazing--we walked everywhere except the airport. The staff was really friendly and helpful, and the place was definitely clean and safe.

Our stay at Papa Germano was great! It is more like a hotel than a hostel, as there isn't really a bar for young people to hang out (but that was fine for our purposes). Gino was very hospitable and spoke English very well. He was extremely accommodating and we would definitely stay here again. Everything was very clean. It's very close to the Termini train station, as well as the Repubblica Metro stop.
