They let stay a homeless guy who kept speaking out loud and really stinked, just because he had de money to pay. They had no breakfast on Sunday because supermarkets were closed. No keys for the bedroom, anyone could enter any time. Dirty & stinky room. Fridge didn't work. Toilet didn't flush. Positive: When they diceded we should have breakfast it was fine. They responded at our complaints with a smile (but coldnt fnind a solution).

The hostel turned out to be more than we expected. Having kitchen and breakfast included was really great, wifi was fast and staff was friendly.

Nice hostel all in all, 10 min walk from metro, parking, and breakfast in price. Beds are nice, toilets are clean, only thing you don't have a key from you're room but there's a locker so I guess that will have to do. I would visit it again.

very clean and nice hostel, located near metro station. Staff is great and very helpful, especially Lovisa the girl receptionist. Free access to computer with internet (but quite slow), free (very rich) breakfast. Only negative, it is a bit away from the center, so if you want to stay out after 12 (this is when metro stops), you'll have to walk a lot. Generally a great hostel, fully recomended!

Just the internet speed, try to make it better because it's too slow to be used.

Environment around the hostel is nice and with some pizza shops around, nice to grap somethings for dinner, bathroom is shared but clean and nice! Location not bad, only a bus from Roma Termini but I try once which takes me over 30mins back to hostel on evening, everyone back home, horrible. Also it is a bit hard to find when you arrive on the first time as some stops no one need to drop off, bus driver will pass thru the station. beside this, everythings are nice! definitely will back and worth

The place smell funny. Construction was in progress when I visited. They're erecting a wall. It's so noisy those drunk buggers next door that I can't sleep. Bed sucks.

The Hostel is located in a very good place, 2 minutes away from the main subway and 200 meters from a big supermarket. The price is very cheap compared to Rome Hostels. Staff people who work there are very nice and friendly, and all speak good English. The reception is always open 24 hours, so you can come back at anytime in the night without problems. Very Safe place. I had a really good time. Definitely one of the best Hostel I ever been to.

Hmmnn, I just had an issue with the breakfast.. I was expecting something more than a piece of croissant :-0 And I had to get it from the cafe! Plus, the heater in our room is not working I think.. good thing it wasn't that cold in Rome.

Eh. It's sort of far from everything, but it is pretty close to a metro station. The showers were pretty dismal--relatively clean, but they had ventilation issues (mold on the ceiling). Beds are bunkbeds so look out for that. Sheets are provided and blankets are clean. I'm pretty sure they wash the blanket every time so no worries about lice.
