The doors slam constantly no matter what time of day! The atmosphere is really fun, but don't plan on getting any full sleep.

You need to reconsider those bedroom doors. They are extremely loud and would wake-up everyone through the night. Also, I've been in various hostels and this one is definitely among my Top 3 "Worst Staff" Hostel: never smile, didn't help me when I ask for Information to go to the airport. I know Staff are 'just people', and aren't supposed to be friendly all the time, but YOU WORK AT A YOUTH-HOSTEL, guys; if it's too much of a task -to be helpful-, better get another job.

I know the staff sees a lot of people and has to answer many questions, but I really felt like many (not all) were quite rude and didn't really want to help at all. I asked on employee if the Foursquare deal was still on he didn't even look up and just said "no." I inquired further about it and he just told me, "go to Facebook." I knew he was referring to the deal where if you like the page you get a free drink, but I hadn't previously known that I would have had no idea what he was talking abou

The hostel was great place to stay, unfortunately there's only 1 elevator that work till the top floor which only fit 1 person with heavy bagpack without no space to turn yourself incase of emegency. The management should look into this. There should be a kitchen if incase we do need some hot water for drinks not just to get it downstairs from the bar.

The bar did seem to be packed every night we were there. There's a small dance floor in the basement that's easy to miss! Had a good high school-style dance party down there one night.

I booked a 4 bed room for 4 girls, and when we arrived they told us that we would have to split up. That meant two of us with two random guys, and the other two in another building with two other random guys. That would have been fine - if it was what we signed up for. No where on the website or confirmation email did it say that rooming together was not guaranteed. The lady at the desk was very rude, and didn't let us see the accommodations before we decided to stay or go. We didn't stay.

Really close to the main station solar of the buses and trains you get from anywhere will take you there... Though I walked to most of the major monents easily. The staff os friendly and everyone is there to have fun! The bar is possibly the place where I spent most of my time! Drinks are cheap and the people are awesome. :)

great for people who want to travel alone or in pairs and meet others. no kitchen or cooking facilities which is annoying. only a five minute walk from the magor train station. club downstairs beoomes a lot of fun later in the night. dont go there if you don't want drunk noisy roommates.

Party hostel. Not good if you just want to sleep. Really good atmosphere. Very close to the train station, from where you can take also the bus to the airport. Lockers in the rooms which make you go out with no worries. It doesn´t have a kitchen. The worst thing about this place is that it is allowed to smoke downstairs the bar. That place is a small cave and it is just impossible to breath. Even the staff smoke there. Quite selfish.

I want to thanks to all the staff, especially to Eva. They were really very helpful with me since I have arrived from the Termini where I was stolen till the moment I left Rome. They really helped me with everything and they made me feel at home. Grazie Mile.

Very nice price for a fine hostel at a good location. We were 3 persons in a superior room - wehad only expected a little room with a bunk bed + a single bed, but there were 3 single beds in a medium sized room with useful closet space. Bathroom was fine, free soap for the shower and new towels every second day - and free WiFi in our room!

The rooms and bathroom were big enough and got cleaned everyday but it was freezing during the night. We informed the stuffs about the air condition but nothing happened. The hostel is in Termini area, this means you can get there easily by metro and buses. There is no breakfast service, if you want to have breakfast then you need to pay 3 euros. The stuffs were helpful. Anyway, I liked the hostel even if it has some cons.
