About

YellowSquare Rome has redefined the meaning of what a hostel is: no longer a place where you just lay your head to rest in a bunk bed. It's now where you can enhance your work in our coworking spaces, be entertained by local live bands, dj sets and karaoke nights, go on shopping tours with locals, learn to cook gourmet meals, get a tattoo at our in store Tattoo parlor SW.T, and much more.

Our Play Bar is the perfect spot for you to chill, play, meet other guests and drink in a great environment. Ask for our amazing plates at the YellowBar and enjoy different activities we do throughout the week. Also, our coworking will allow you to book a safe and quiet space to work on a dedicated desktop, print and get your career or business going while discovering Rome.

You're going to love it here if you like to get your party on; you love socializing from dusk till dawn; you're looking for an international entourage; you think loud is the new black; you just want to kick back and enjoy yourself!

Summary of traveller reviews

YellowSquare Rome is a highly social hostel, perfect for solo travellers looking to meet new people. Guests love the lively bar, free pasta dinners, and the friendly staff. While the location is convenient for transport, it's a bit of a walk to major attractions. Some recent reviews mention issues with bathroom cleanliness and noise from the bar.

The rooms are small in an old apartment building so not really a social hostel environment. Only good thing about it is the bar outside.

Hostelworld says

The Yellow was voted the #1 hostel in Rome at the 2011 Hoscars and it's not hard to see why. The hostel is set near Termini station and has a popular bar downstairs which one Hostelworld traveller described as the "cheapest in town". Our visitors say the staff know the best spots to party and the must-go sites and "will make you feel at home and help in every way possible and join in the festivities at night". The hostel has a youthful party atmosphere which our guests say is "very comfortable, fun and safe".
