About

A few things to know before you book: our reception is open 09:00–21:00 and not 24 hours. We don't offer early or late check-in or self-check-in. It takes time to get from either of Rome's airports to the city center, so please plan accordingly. Every hostel is different and runs differently, and we want your stay to be smooth from the start. Please take a few minutes to read through our description and our House Rules before you book.

Since 1999, we've been a small, family-owned hostel located near Rome's central train station, Termini. When you walk in, you'll likely be greeted by Linda, one of the owners, our manager, Yuli, or one of our rotating volunteers. Our long-time housekeepers, Lea and Mery, keep everything clean and comfortable. After 25+ years, we still love what we do, and we're proud and happy to welcome travellers of all ages and nationalities.

We have a range of room types to suit different needs and budgets: dorm rooms (including female-only dorms) and private rooms with shared or private bathrooms. We're a small, intimate place and we welcome solo travelers, couples, and small groups, but please note that we don't accommodate larger groups of more than 3 people traveling together.

Our common areas include a courtyard garden, an indoor lounge open all day, and a self-catering kitchen for guests staying in our main area and a small kitchenette for guests in our upstairs area. We don't serve breakfast, but you're welcome to prepare your own meals. We're not a party hostel and don't have a bar, but we do love bringing guests together. As a small hostel with a close-knit group of guests, we do our best to encourage that connection through weekly activities for anyone who wants to join, like Aperitivo/Happy Hour, Social Walks and more.

Great location near the Roma Termini train station! Fairly clean and everyone was respectful of the quiet hours. Staff was helpful and friendly with lots of advice about where to eat in the area. Spacious for a six-person room with good security and lockers. Large kitchen and living room was nice when I needed to work on the computer. Would definitely stay here again!

Room had a ceiling fan that I could control the speed of and a/c. Spacious room.Very cute front garden with plenty of tables and chairs. Not a party hostel. Staff are pleasant and shared daily optional activities via WhatsApp - Including trivia night ( thanks for hosting Rylee). Only 3 min from trains and the subway line. Very charming family run- homey, would recommend. Definitely would stay here again. Feels very secure and safe for solo female.
