WiFi was not working the whole time. The staff kept telling us that it’d be fixed by tomorrow but it never got fixed. Mobile data reception in the rooms were horrible so it was impossible to use the internet. Staff was also highly unhelpful. They were not even aware of where to find the remote control for the air conditioner. During check-in, they did not brief us on how to turn on the air conditioners. Highly suggest to avoid this place.

Nice quiet hostel in a quieter part of town. Close to Vatican. Not a super social hostel but nice clean quiet base to explore the city. Small but functional kitchen and lovely staff.

Good place in a fantastic location. A few points where improvements are needed: - Needs to have a locked gate between the property and the outside world. - Needs a better system for air conditioning or just freshening things up in general - body odor was an issue.

No aceptan tarjeta física para los pagos. Lamentablemente durante mi estadía nunca funcionó wi-fi en la habitación. Tampoco andaban los datos (solamente en el pequeño patio) por lo que no pude trabajar ni comunicarme durante los 5 días que estuve. Solo funcionaba la red en la recepción que está muy alejada. El personal es muy amable y el barrio es bueno, cerca del Castel Sant Angelo y del Vaticano.

This place was amazing. It is in such a quiet part of Rome yet it is so close to all the major sites. When we got there we were upgraded to a private room! The outdoor space is amazing as well

The place was clean, the personal was kind, the location is far from Coliseum and city center but near Vatican City, an annoying thing is my room was below a music teacher studio, so it was very annoying some mornings or afternoons, the common spaces not very welcoming and the overall atmosphera was kinda depressing, it’s good for the price but not if you are looking a hostel to make friends or socialize

The Hostel could be very nice, location is good if you want to go to the Vatikan, the rooms are big and the beds are fine, you get a towel and it's a safe area. But, it really needs a renovation. The shower was always cold, the wifi was slow and didn't work sometimes, the rooms are very cold and dark and the heater only works middle of the night and you can't adjust ist and there is a lot of black mold in the Bathroom. Also the kitchen doesn't open before 9, so no breakfast before that possi...

We picked this hostel due to the location being so close to the Vatican which was truly amazing. But honestly thats all it really has going for it. I was incredibly frustrated with the check in process because it was not clear that WE had to reach out via whatsapp. There are no signs for the hostel and it took us a long time to find wifi to get a message out so we could get the instructions. The place was not gross but very run down and the water was not hot ever during our 4 day stay.

I stayed there for one night in January, it was really good! The door to our room couldn't be closed all the way, so it was very cold in the night
