About

Yellow Hostel has redefined the meaning of what a hostel is, YellowSquare 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, go on shopping tours with locals, learn to cook gourmet meals, change your look in the ContestaRockHair salon and much more.

Our Concierge 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 hall 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.
Even though governmental restrictions might constantly change, at YellowSquare you are able to enjoy a safe hostel experience with all the safety measurements suggested during the COVID19 period by the government.

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!

Really fun, sociable hostel but would definitely cater for quieter people too. My room was big, bed was comfy. Bathrooms were clean. Social aspect was brilliant, with travellers meeting for drinks and games every night. My only small issue was that there was no curtain for my bed.

Really great hostel, very social and easy to meet others. It took a little while to get into the centre of the city but that's to be expected and the public transport was easy to navigate. Overall I would definitely stay again and recommend to others!

Hostel is very close to Roma station! Highly recommend if that’s the route you take from FCO. Plenty of vibes with the bar/dinner across the street! Solo travelers look no further! Great food l, DJ, only thing I would say the showers are tiny. 9.5/10

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".
