Staff were very friendly and helpful, though keep in mind that they are not available after 2pm. There is no common area and private changing area in the bathrooms. We enjoyed our stay.

The hostel was good and friendly, I loved it. Only 1 point - is that we don't have lock in the wc :).

Very clean and tidy place. Silent at night, good place to rest. The staff just shows up if there is an arrival scheduled. They lock the kitchen when they leave. We put our food on the kitchen, but they locked it and as we never saw them again until our check out, we lost our food. Pay attention to the location! tIt is 20 minutes walking from the termini. Take trams to Porta maggiore.here are two different number sistems in that street.

The hostel is located inside an unmarked residential apartment building. There is no full-time staff at this property to let you inside when you arrive. You must call ahead and arrange a meeting. If you show up early, you'll be waiting on the stone-floor entry with a grumpy security guard. Once inside, the hostel is just fine. Clean bathrooms. Feels secure. A close distance from the train station.

The hostel is in an appartment in a beautiful old building on the ground floor. Bedrooms are big, beds comfortable, there is a small course on the back with tables where you can be outside. Everything is very clean. Staff is lebanese people: a brother and a sister who are extremely nice and funny! They speak english, italien, french, lebanese... There is wifi,not free:1day=2€, 2days=3.5€... It is a little fare from the center: 25minutes by foot. from colloseo....But very good place to stay!

Staff is great. Dany and Harissa will never avoid a conversation with you about anything. They are ever so nice and helpful. Cleanliness is perfect and the rooms are spacious and comfortable with a fridge and a tv, which is not common. Beds and pillows are very comfortable and let you have the rest you will need after a long day walking around. At 5 minutes from the hotel there is a good zone for going out at night, San Lorenzo.

Hello! i'm from spain, I've been for 4 nights in sunshine hostel, it´s not a 24 hour hostel, the staff is only there in the morning and a few minutes in the noon. Last night arrived 4 people who had booked online and they were supposed to arrive at 00:00but there was no staff to open the door. The bathroom is VERY OLD but it appears to be clean, the 4 bed bedroom its ok. There is no place in the room to save your things (the room has a lock).If the window is opened, you listen the train sleeping

Many of the features advertised were not present or you had to pay for, i.e. Wifi was not free and there were no security lockers. Not a good area especially for a solo traveller.

Nice location. Very clean. Close to metro, a market, and 10 minutes walking to the Colosseum. I would stay here again.

This place was great and the cleanest hostel I have ever stayed in. The bathroom is spotless. The beds are comfortable. The staff is fantastic. The lady who runs the place couldn't have been nicer and makes you feel so welcome. The location is good, down the street from the train station and 10min walk to the Colosseum. There's a student ghetto close with awesome and inexpensive bars. A little far from the city center but there are metros everywhere.

They locked the court yard at lunch, so in the evening we couldn't get our stuff from the fridge. No one was around from lunch. They arrive at 8 and leave at 12! And you have to pay for wifi that doesn't even work in the rooms!

One of the first thing the reception lady told me was to pay attention when I pee so that I will aim the toilet properly... and that before I will check out she will go check if I didn't pee next to the toilet if the floor in the bathroom isn't wet after I take a shower... Okay, the hostel is really clean but there is no kitchen, no common area and... YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR USING WIFI !!!! and you need you own computer. Staff is rather unfriendly, you just want to take the key and hide in your room

This hostel was great! The location was excellent, however it was a little hard to find at first. Pretty close to the Colosseum. It was cleaned daily, and bedding was also changed regularly. Each room has a private lock so your stuff is safe. No kitchen though, so if you're eating out, best to find somewhere cheap. Bathrooms were clean but, it wasn't private, so if you're using the shower, you're changing in front of people.
