About

Tomato Urban Retreat Ostello della gioventù is a sustainable hostel in Monti, one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Rome, a short walk from Termini station and within walking distance of the Colosseum. It is run by Social Supply, a third-sector social cooperative.

Forty-six rooms — singles, doubles and quads, many with a private bathroom — with fast Wi-Fi, thermal and acoustic insulation and mechanical ventilation, so the air stays clean and filtered. Rooms are decorated with prints and artwork by local artists. Generous shared spaces open onto an inner garden, and there is a coworking space and a meeting room for anyone working while they travel, plus a café serving Italian breakfast, cakes and espresso.

The building runs without gas: eight high-efficiency heat pumps, solar thermal and photovoltaic with storage. Separate waste collection, tap water on draught instead of plastic, flow reducers on every tap.

Keyless entry at any hour, secure bike storage and a table tennis table.
