This is nice for a chill stay! Relaxed staff, relaxed people at the hostel and it gave a nice homey vibe. The paintings on the walls were really cool! Kitchen/common area is quite small but still nice. Worth noting that you can only access kitchen facilities when staff are present, as they lock it during the day or early mornings/evenings.

Very cozy feel with only 5 rooms and normal beds instead of bunks. The patio was great to sit and chill and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Perfect location as well right next to the Vatican!
