Nice hostel with friendly staff who really tries to bring everyone together and have a good time while you are in Rome. Great location, a 15 minutes walk to Colosseum, and a few steps from Rome Termini. The beds are comfy and the shower pressure is good but the best thing is the atmosphere. Really nice bar. Would recommend to any travelers.
My friends and I loved staying here. The rooms are nice, the showers are hot, and the bathrooms are clean! We had lockers in our room (need to bring your own lock) as well as locked lockers you can borrow for 12 hours for 2 Euros. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional. They helped us book tours of the Vatican and Colosseum and were always willing to help out! It is just a quick walk from the train station, Colosseum and other beautiful parts of Rome! I will be back. 10/10 recommend.
They changed my room for me at check in so I could stay with my friends. They have cool deals throughout the week like 2.50 pasta and beer with a decent serving of pasta and a cup of beer. They have other activities as well as happy hour at the club with a nice bartender as well.
Great stay. Staff were lovely & the hostel has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Would definitely return!
Strong all-around hostel. The place is clean, the beds are relatively comfortable. The staff does a good job.
Only complaint was the WiFi did not reach my room well. Other than that it was a great overall stay!
Nice hostel in a great area for walking the city. Kitchen was only open 1-10pm and they try to sell you breakfast which I thought was really lame if you cook your own meals. Otherwise really good.
Good clean hostel. The room I was in was very spacious. The bar is standard but plays loud music a lot of the time so best for meeting new people than relaxing.
