Sandy Hostel Reviews

Adriana is an amazing recepcionist :)

Bathrooms were a bit dirty. Beds thin. Receptionist was very helpful. Lack of common room, kitchen, laundry, etc. was disappointing.

The hostel was excellently located in the city-centre. The Information handled before arriving was very poor . The sink or something else in the bathroom smelled terribly of cloaca. The rest was clean. There were some coat hooks missing. As we had a couple-room it was very quiet.

Staff spoke english very well, however our room was not ready for our scheduled arrival time in the late afternoon.

Don't waste your money on painting hallways, instead replace the mattress (the coil springs were about to stab me) and put money into the bathroom and smell of "Yu stink Ki Pu". Absolutely the most disgusting hostel I've ever stayed at.

Very good value for the money,Location is very convenient,helpful staff, Definitely recommend this place if you want a place to crash with basics.

This is a pretty poor hostel. The building is very run down, the rooms were pretty dirty, the bathrooms were covered in mildew so we avoided taking showers. The "lockers" were made of plastic, and if anyone tried to break in to them, I'm sure they would succeed. The beds were bunk beds and very uncomfortable. Anytime the person above me moved I would wake up. There was also no common room, so we couldn't escape our 6 person room. The woman in charge was nice, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Rome is expensive, and so are the hostels, especially considering how little you get. This place was old and the bathrooms were not well maintained. I am the type of traveler who just needs place to sleep and shower, so it worked. i also heard that many of the other hostels in rome are about the same. Regardless, the location is good, walking distance to metro/train, which is HUGELY important in Italy. It's a hostel, which are suppose to be cheap/bare minimum. This place is exactly that.

godd place

I enjoyed staying at Sandy Hostel! The only downside was that our bathroom had a strange smell after everyone showered. It was not pleasant it kind of smelled like the sewer.

werry nice.helpfull staff,clean and the best location.had a good time.

Your hostel was mistake for me. Because everything was awful except fridge and microwave. I suggest, you should buy new beds, because my back hurt also my friend's back hurt. Bathroom has a black fungus on top. I think you should change everything in hostel.

There should be a room where people can meet and talk. The city tax should be explicitly mentioned when you are booking. A computer should be left available so people with no equipment may benefit from the wifi system.

This was a dirty hostal. All over the bathroom, there was black mold and mildew, and water on the floors. It was a cramped shower where you couldn't bend and no place to put shampoo etc. Beds were worn out, pillows flat, blankets scratchy. The lockers are plastic cabinets you can disassemble in a matter of seconds. Staff was generally unhelpful and unresponsive to concern of black mold. It was gross, I was happy to leave after 2 days for Ciak Hostal (much better).

The description of the hostel said we would get breakfast and one dinner, and we didn't get any. I was mad because breakfast is one of the main factors for me to choose a hostel, and I felt cheated upon it. Other than that, the hostel had a great atmosphere, at a great place, with a big kitchen and good shower. The beds weren't that good, but the room was big and there was enough space for them. The internet, however, was terrible! It was just impossible to use it...

Excellent location: close to the tube (and fairly in the center as well), as well as restaurants, a supermarket and various shops; helpful staff; the facilities provided were minimal, but everything essential was there, even wifi access: excellent value for money!! Only issue: it's on the 4th floor and to use the lift you have to have the hostel's key... if the lift even works, which wasn't the case when I was there:( But I guess it's not their faults

According to the very high price (private twin dorm) it was very filthy: dust everywhere and an unbelievable disgusting smell out of the bathroom that filled the whole bedroom. After one night we decided to change the hostel.

Staff and location are nice, however that place needs a immediate reconstruction....everything is old and dirty....bed linen are clean but the rest is just very bad, the reception looks odd - how can the receptionist stay in such a messy place it remains a mistery for me - if you need a place to spend a night and your budget is tight you can go there, but is you expect a bit of service choose other place

Really small, not confortable, no kitchen, few toilets, few showers, few switchers, its almost impossible to charge a cellphone or a pc or whatever. The fridge was dirty.

Dont know why people dislike this place. Staff was very friendly. It was very secure, with many keys needed to even get into the room. There was wifi in the rooms, multiple outlets, clean sheets already on the bed, what more do people want?
