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!

Our Rooms: Our dorms can be mixed or female-only and come with an ensuite or shared bathroom. Personal locker and a small safe, linen, duvet, shampoo and shower gel are included.

Want more comfort? Book a private room! They come with an ensuite bathroom, AC/heating, and a safety deposit box.

All rooms are non-smoking and have AC and Free Wi-Fi.

The Good Stuff: Our hostel features include free Wi-Fi, luggage deposit, a bar, a patio, coworking spaces, meeting rooms, tours, activities, and more.

Sina, Setareh & the staff were so helpful during my whole stay - they made everything great and easy. Big social scene and an awesome location in Rome! You will definitely leave with new friends from cool parts of the world!

Honestly so disappointed. No curtains on the bunks. Cleaning people come and are loud and disruptive early in the morning. Only 1 toilet for the room with 8 people. The cleaning staff in the communal washroom downstairs were so impolite, and literally managed to mop over my feet underneath the stalls. Two male cleaners stayed in the bathroom for over 35 minutes speaking loudly to one another and would not leave. As a female traveller it would have been nice to have more privacy and proffesional.

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".
