they offer free wifi but if you get a bedroom in the other building, not in the main one, you don't have signal and you can use it just when you are in the bar or in the reception.

I really enjoyed the bar and the restaurant downstairs. Staff are friendly. And it is very close to the terminal station and metro station.

Stylish hostel. Relatively new facilities. You can borrow an ipad for 30 mins if the computer is being used. Free Printing. Bar plus Basement area for beer pong. You wont hear much noise in your room during the night which is good but. Pretty cool overall.

Booked a mixed dorm for 3 of us and we got transferred to a private 4 person at no extra charge, was a nice surprise. Average cleanliness, didnt notice anything gross. However a friend who stayed there in a different room had dried blood all over her sheets. Breakfast was pretty tasty and location is good In terms of proximity to train and metro. Would stay here again, however it gets loud at night as there is all night street activity and the hostel does have a bar, good for partyers

had a 3-night stay here. loved the bar and common area. it was extremely easy to meet people, great for solo travelers. can find a party here every night, but i wouldn't recommend the basement dance floor at the hostel. gotta go out for clubbing. the rooms were nice enough though ventilation in the shower could be better. location was great, only a 5-minute walk to the metro with good pizzeria, cafe, tobacco shop, supermarket, bus stop, and fruit stand nearby. would definitely stay here again!

The best hostel I've been so far.

This place is right near the main station and has everything you need. A restaurant and bar at the hostel and plenty surrounding it as we'll as a laundromat nearby. The room was spacey with a place to lock up all of your belongings. Really great place to meet people I would stay here again!

Fun party hostel. Good location. close to the train station and metro stops. A bit expensive and the drink's aren't cheap. Not much to do there except get drunk and dance in the basement. But that can be really fun for a few nights.

Weirdly expensive for a room with no wifi, in a separate building from the main hostel, with nothing more than beds and blankets. Might be because we booked late but it was not impressive to me. I would have appreciated at least a mirror in both the bathrooms. Very minimal amenities and loud.

Rooms were nice and clean, and cheap bar and restaurant downstairs. Only took 15 to 20 minutes to walk to major sites and very close to termini. Only thing was requested an all- female room and was not given this, but wasnt a big deal to us (may matter to some)

Overall we had a very nice stay here. We knew that the hostel was more of a "party" hostel so to speak, and went there with that expectation. The location is great for sightseeing, but a long walk to any decent bars. Additionally, the air conditioning was really quite poor in our rooms, so we ended up sweating through the night (even in early May). Apart from those minor complaints though, the hostel was overall a pretty good place to stay, especially for the cost.

THE best party hostel I have ever been to!!! Didn't see the mornings for the whole week I stayed there as the bar and club/beer pong room were so good :) It is really good to meet new people and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend staying here if you like to party but not if you want somewhere quiet! The Rome-ing tours were brilliant - the best tours I have done which included seeing the Pope on Wednesdays. My bed was really comfortable and it was clean.

Decent hostel accommodation. Very standard features. The bar downstairs if fun but way overpriced. A block south there's a pizzeria with cheap Peroni, so don't waste your money. Staff is helpful and friendly.

We love the take-away pizza shop, as well as cheap beer, they also have a TV in the corner where you can sit with the local old folk and watch a soccer match. When it comes to going out in Rome, we keep our prices fair, you can get beer for 3euros :) We hope to see you next time you're in Bella Roma!

Location is good just 5 miniute from Roma station center. Room, bed and toilet are clean. there is party at night that you can see new friends P.s if you will stay here, you should check-in online for getting 1 free drink that you can chose anydrink you want(exp. beer, vodca)

Pretty good hostel for party people, the only problem for me: no kitchen and no common area (apart from the bar), besides that, nice hostel!

Great hostel, good location. Can be a bit busy and hectic to actually meet people, though, but that's assumed given the size of the hostel. Bar and food is great. Staff is friendly and courteous. Apart I didn't get on well with a guy of the staff that almost ruined my experience. We'll see if the Yellow actually responds to the email that I sent them about it. Doubt it.
