I only stayed for a day but noticed a got bit by bed bugs. Alot of them. I hope that they start to clean their sheets and beds more often.

The hostel was small, no locks on the doors and the lockers were too small to put my backpack in. There was no Landry or bar. The staff was a little guff.

This hostel is not exceptional, but it's clean and neat. The staff is decent and gives little information. But I had very limited needs as I stayed the minimum time in the hostel. However, keep your expectations low, this isn't a party hostel.

Breakfast: cornflakes, toast, juice. I appreciated the lockers, although they were small, so you just put what is valuable in there. 6 people to a bathroom, but I didn't find too many problems with that. A ways away from termini and sights and any metro, but literally right outside the bus stop from termini. Walkable to termini (15 min) if you are coming or going outside of bus times as I was. Pretty quiet hostel. Wish there were reading lights, though. Quite pricey comparably...esp for location

The staff was great and we liked the location, close to the city but far enough away to relax after the chaos of Rome. Cheap pizza and gelato close by!

Had a really nice time in the hostel, met very nice people and enjoyed the wonderful city Rome for the 3 days. Location is very close to the subway and also buses, it is just 20 min from the city centre by walk. Not all of the staff is very nice, though if you are lucky you may meet some - who are very enthusiastic to help you to solve any problem you may face. Be careful, if you arrive from the main train station, the bus 310 is not leaving from the same place as the other buses.

The atmosphere at the hostel wasn´t very comforting, the room smelled bad because of very poor ventilation as well as the bathrooms which had low higiene standards

Excellent hostel, quiet location, close to termini station, connections with bus 310 and not too far from a metro station (policlino i believe). Great pizza place across the street. Free wifi and free use of their PC with internet. Showers, toilets, kitchen and floors seem to be cleaned daily. Comfortable bed. Excellent friendly and very helpful staff. Includes breakfast, which is always a plus.

I didn't think the hostel was really anything super special so it was a bit expensive for the price. Do not come here if you are looking for a party, DO come if you like super comfy pillows and blankets and quiet. Got a great night sleep here! And the night receptionist was super nice.

Check in took FOREVER- I think the front desk worker wrote out all the information from our passports by hand, and I had to ask about towels, Internet, breakfast, everything. Front desk worker seemed clueless about a lot. Very low tech- received handwritten carbon-copy receipts. Had to pay the Rome City tax separately in cash. Shower head in the room was broken. And most of all- NO LOCKS ON THE ROOM DOORS!! Very insecure- do not stay here!
