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.

Loved my stay here. Very social hostel and super easy to meet people. Rooms were clean and the under bed lockers were huge! Would’ve been nice to have curtains on the beds but I did see another room had some so maybe they’re being added bit by bit… Location is extremely close to the train station which also has good airport connections. Very close to metro to get to Colosseum and has a nearby bus for the Trevi side of Rome. Just a bit out of the way if you want to be able to walk back quickly

Absolutely loved this hostel! So many good facilities & fun social events. Super super social hostel which I loved and the staff were incredibly helpful. Easy to get to from the airport and public transport to the big sites was very easy. Only disappointing thing was the AC, or lack of should I say. It was broken in our room by the second night and it is HOT in Rome! Otherwise absolutely loved my stay here and would stay again 🩵

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".
