Ganzes Hostel sehr suspekt, jeder kann einfach in jedes Zimmer reinkommen, bad und küche waren sehr heruntergekommen und es wirkte alles unsicher und verdreckt und alt

The reception we received was definitely the kindest we have ever had in a hostel. The showers are private, the view from the kitchen is really nice, and the location is quite good (about a 30-minute walk from the Colosseum). You might want to keep in mind that there is no oven or microwave in the kitchen. Would definitely come back :)

1)The hostel was extremely disappointing. There was a strong, unpleasant smell in the room. 2)The bed was very small, and the bunk bed was unstable. 3)The receptionist did not respect our privacy. He was always trying to talk to us and repeatedly entered the kitchen while we were using it, which felt intrusive and uncomfortable. 4)The worst issue was that there was no key for our room. This is completely unacceptable. Having a lock and a key is the bare minimum for a hostel.Without it, no saf...

The hostel is ok for a functional night for a low price but it’s not working for a comfortable stay (my bed was quite broken) or more than a very short stay

Wonderful stay. The guy running it is super kind and good to chat to. Beds are comfortable and clean, but the street outside can be loud at times. Situated well, with a tram station right outside and a short walk to the underground train. My girlfriend and I always felt safe in the area. Kitchen is adequate to make basic meals on the stove top, and there was oil available when we went.

I stayed here recently and had one of the worst experiences of my travels. After checking out, I discovered bed bug bites all over my body, clearly from this hostel. It’s unacceptable that a place hosting international travelers has such poor hygiene and pest control. I’ve had to deep-clean and disinfect all my belongings since returning home. Beyond the infestation, the location felt extremely unsafe, especially as a woman. The overall cleanliness was disappointing — the sheets didn’...

I mean you get what you pay for, but this time the ratio quality/price was soo low, no lockers, no air conditionning, the room feels like a sauna, and feels dirty, the only pro is that it’s a little close to roma termini station, otherwise I wouldn’t recommend it.

I stayed here one night and for the value of what I paid this hostel experience was good. Mike the host was very accommodating to me and worked with my personal schedule as I continued my trip after departing my stay at his hostel

Ce n'est tout simplement pas une auberge de jeunesse mais un appartement avec des chambres transformées en dortoir ou on s'entasse. Rien n'est sécurisé ou agréable : multiprise sur multiprise, prises cassées, éviers bouchés,...

The place was refurbishing when I went there so the pics are not updated. Front man is nice polite and helpful. There is a kitchen and it is relatively clean. Good money value.

A decent place, it’s got what you need and the staff is nice. Nothing fancy but you get a bed in a room at a comfortable temperature, and there was showers I could use and I’m satisfied enough there

It was very different from the pictures, and I don't know if it's standard procedure but the lady working there took pictures of my ID with her phone, it felt wrong for some reason.

Average and overpriced hostel. Rome overall is offering very poor service to tourists, treating us as if we owe something just for visiting and spending our money in the city

The check-in is too late (3 PM) and check-out too early (10:30 AM). The hostel is in a noisy and unsafe area, and the beds are uncomfortable. Some staff were helpful, but others were unaccommodating — I could only charge my phone for five minutes. I arrived at 11 AM and had to wait outside for five hours with no waiting area. Although the staff made an effort with cleanliness, my overall experience was poor, and I won’t be returning.
