Friendship Palace

Room stank so bad we had to keep the windows open the entire time. Still it did not help.

Hard to find at first. Easy check in. Doors with codes or keys and cameras(not in room) but locking yourself out!!!, especially after hours, you are on your own obviously. Booked a bed in a room of 5, there were 8 beds there, with someone sleeping in my bed after I had my things on it. One bathroom for the room(no other wc's available), without mats - floor always wet. No a/c so window open to the street all the time. You can hear EVERYTHING - inside and out. No kitchen or washing machine.

I read the other reviews so I was warned about it being hard to find and still struggled to find where it was, since the Google Maps location says third floor and there is a sign there that says "friendship palace", however the actual place is on the first floor. Positives: The receptionist was super friendly to me and the beds felt private, bathroom was clean and beautiful. Lockers are good, I brought my own lock. The downsides for me was the cash-only payment and the limited reception time, th...

Shower had only warm water....never got even close to hot.

Okay for a one night last minute stay when you have limited choice but so expensive for what you get (I guess that’s Rome for you though). Took ages to find (reception is on the 1st floor fyi) and the whole building just felt sketchy. Sketchy area but right by the train station so perfect for an early morning train. Room was clean enough and bed comfy but I would only stay here again if I had no other choice

Un hostel muy céntrico y que realmente está pensado para el servicio. Lo único mejoraría un poco la Limpieza en las habitaciones. Pero todo lo demás Excelente

Sub par. Only positive is it’s close to the train station. Neighborhood is mid, it’s dirty, and staff is cold.

They gave me a dirty bed that wasn’t made. The blanket was covering the bed number. The bunk on top didn’t have a number but was made, so I assumed that was mine and someone else was using the bottom. When I found out hours later the staff member quite literally yelled at me for being stupid. It was the chubby Indian guy, I wanted to fight him he was so rude. How are you gonna assign me a dirty unmade bed and get mad at me for assuming it was being used? Also the name is different from onlin...

Was not so easy to find and the staff didn't help much. The bathroom smells of pee.

Migliorare manutenzione sanitari e rubinetteria. Sciacquone.

Good place if you're just looking to stay the night. Had a lot of trouble finding the place; there are no signs. staff were super helpful. Expensive for what it is but better than anything else in Rome and it's right beside the train station

The system is so worse. I have not seen such a hostel ever. Everywhere in the world hostels and hotels works 7/24. I arrived there 2am and guess what? I cant communicate with the hostel and I cant find the enterance. I found that myself but when I enter I shocked, there was no any light in the hostel. I tought it was wrong place. I found another hotel for a night and came here for morning and the receptionist guy told me that it works only in daytime🤣🤣. what ?!! Crazy system, never go ther...

good bathroom with a lock! not a very social place tho

Super Sketchy place. The name on it is not the same posted in Hostelworld. Incredible dirty and smells like humidity

The bed had no upper sheet, just a bedcover which was in direct contact with the skin. I found bed bugs and asked the reception to change bed. The room and restroom were pretty clean and the room had a/c.

Don’t go in the summer!! They don’t have ar conditioners, so hot in the bedroom

The reviews for this place did not inspire confidence but honestly it was pretty good! Not social but I got along really well with my dorm mates and it’s a fantastic location right next to the train station

The only redeeming quality about this dungeon is the fact that it is close to the main station. The rooms are dark, wet and depressing with seasonings of mould. The only way I’d stay here again is if I could only pay 2 euro, instead of 40!!!!

Quite a strange place. There are two different named hostels there, but with the same reception. kinda shady if you ask me. My room had AC though not all have it. Sounded great but it ended up blowing on my bed which made it uncomfortable. Additionally, the cover doesn't have a duvet, just looks like a day-cover. felt really rough and dirty, I just hope they wash them...

The receptions are very kind and warm. My first stop in solo travel ever. It’s a little hard to find. There is no sign, but a small plate on a doorbell. A half mile southwest there are great reasonably priced resturaunts before you get to the tourist slop in the center. Great option if you don’t wanna walk all the way to Trastevere.
