The worst hostel ever.

I had a great time at the Yellow! I booked three nights because I'd heard it was a great hostel for meeting people, and it was everything I hoped for! I met a bunch of fun and friendly young travelers in the chill restaurant/bar downstairs, and while I was initally worried about it being a self-labeled "party hostel," I found the bar/ basement club didn't intrude into the rest of the hostel, which was very clean, relatively quiet, had hot showers, and a nice a la carte breakfast. Two thumbs up!

The place is nice, good bar and reception... But the bathrooms are weird and not so clean... Also some staff weren´t really nice sometimes. It´s a fun and cheerfull place.

A bar with a hostel, not a hostel with a bar. Great for sitting and having drinks, if you like that. But no kitchen and no breakfast which makes things a little more pricey.

Nice hostel if you want to have party. Rooms are really nice and very clean. The common area is the bar downstairs. You dont have kitchen and you cant bring drinks, just buy them there. We had problems with drunk room mates one day....but the rest was pretty ok.

Really nice and clean rooms! The best of all is the bar were you can buy drinks and food . Cocktails are not so good though. On weekends you ll have a good time IF you like to party, dont try to relax there. They dont let you have your drinks there and you cant cook. We had problems with hot water in our shower but they give us a special private room to have it.We had a problem with drunk girls letting people enter our room....so, be careful with you belongings specially on weekends.

It's a party hostel, really busy, even during winter. The facilities are great, specially the bar/restaurant. Rooms are ok and bathrooms are good and clean. The location is great if you need to go to any place by train or to the roman airports and it's not far from the main attractions.

The Hostel has a good location and a nice bar for having some drinks and startkng the night. However, the dorms are quite disgusting. The walls are old and in some parts full of humidity, and the bathrooms inside the dorms are not as good as you would expect from a 22.5 euros a night hostel... I wouldn't go back to this hostel, at least not at that ridiculously high price. I have stayed at St Christopher's hostels in other big cities for less money and had a much better experience...

Very much a party hostel, the showers were often cold, the rooms bland and the under bed lockers jammed, if you wanted to have a quiet night or meal then someplace else is better. The yellow was a lot of fun, food and drinks were good, but only go if you want to party

Everything is great at the Yellow! Would care for having more italian-like dishes on the restaurant menu!

The staff was very friendly and helpful for typical traveler questions. The bar had reasonable prices for drinks and the food was decent. I ate the omelet, hamburger and chicken fingers. I recommend the former two, not the chicken fingers. I had a four person ensuite for 2 nights, and a 12 person room for one. The room was clean. The hostel seemed to be a very popular place at night, even for locals to visit. Also a great restaurant across the street called Mamma Angela's. Location is perfect.

I booked it during a promotion where single bed in female dorm was only about €5 per night. Clean and simple. Very near to the termini station and asily accessible to almost all attractions.

it's very hostel, I met some nice ppl during my staying. But in the last 2 nights, one of roommate he was drinking too much in the night. Also he didnt let us close the windows bcoz he was smoking in the room... Plus in the night, there is a bar, and there is a girl who works in the bar and wasnt very nice (maybe too busy?) would appreciate that she can smile more... :P
