Alessandro Palace & Bar: Evening events and Roman Dining
Welcome to the Alessandro Palace & Bar, a cornerstone of the Roman hostel scene since 1990. We aren’t just a place to sleep; we are a rite of passage for backpackers, solo travelers, and globetrotters in the Eternal City.

Chose Alessandro Palace for its unbeatable price! The staff is incredibly nice, and the bar events are perfect for meeting new travelers. Rome was boiling at night, but my room's AC was a perfect. Highly recommend for social budget travelers!
