The Hostelz.com Review
A small and friendly place 3 blocks from the train station. The building doesn't look very nice from the outside, but inside the hostel the rooms and bathrooms are nice and very clean There is a kitchen has a tiny dining area but no other common areas.
Note: They also have another location at Via Merulana 191.

we made a reservation for a double room with a shared bathroom. however, they dont have such rooms, instead they offer a tiny room with private sink and toilet (shower did not work) the owner claimed it was better from what we ordered, but it was great disappointment for us. moreover the rooms were not cleaned during our stay and as we run out of toilet paper we had a problem. i do not recommend this BB

Small, but very nice and clean rooms. Good value for the money. We were staying for 4 days with our 8 year old daughter, it was really good for that.

i booked a single room for several days but was given a large double room with private bathroom and shower. the place has been refurbished recently and looks like new. wifi and tv are included. the location is perfect (near termini train and metro station). I was very happy with what I got for 30 euros per night.

It's great located near Termini central station, but the shower just ping water and the housekeeping just appear to do the bed and empty the trash. And the hotel as no front desk assistance she just appear to ask for room payment and leave the hotel by our self.

Great location, just 150 meters from Termini,great transportation even at the night (4-5 night lines run there), but the citizens at that part of Rome are a little bit freaky :). In the guesthouse the rooms are quite small but very clean, our room was cleaned every day, air-conditioning worked well - we needed it :),breakfast was not included.It was easy to reach the staff, they were at the hostel within 10 minutes after phone call and were very helpful.I recommend it to young couples, backpackers and low budget travellers.It's cheap but the quality is good.We stayed there 6 nights, without any problem :)))

Easy access from Roma Termini. Charge of 70 Euro per night was OK - a modest breakfast. Free access to internet. Staff friendly though not too knowledgeable about tourism.

Hostelz.com Guest Reviews
Terrible Rooms bear no relation to photos they provide. Ours was particularly bad but we saw a supposed double and it was skanky, nothing like their published photos. We ordered a double room one month before our trip and specified clearly that we wanted a double bed on the requirements box of the booking form and to tell us if that would be a problem. We also emailed them about the requirements. We tried to phone twice on the day we ordered but they didn't answer. When we arrived they took us to a different building to the one advertised in a pretty dodgy street. The room was tiny and they had given us bunk beds with the assembly instructions still hanging off. There was a sink in the room but it wasn't plumbed in. The other rooms had title plaques ours said "PRIVATE" (in Italian, I forget the exact spelling) and looked like it was meant to be a staff room. The shower had the aircon outlet hanging above it. They gave us a load of excuses about how busy everything was because there was a Lady Gaga concert that weekend but failed to explain how this should affect our one month old booking. We stayed one night as it was very late and I did a load of Googling and found a studio apartment we could rent for two nights for 80 euros which was basic but streets ahead of this hole. — Anonymous , UK/Espana (2011-06-14)
I'd try and find somewhere else i stayed in the guesthouse area right across from termini and a few blocks from the actual hostel. initially when i arrived the clerk was very friendly, but the man that was told to escort me to the guest house didn't even acknowledge my presence and waved me to follow him. he then walked at a pace that i could barely keep up with my luggage (which was a small carry on sized bag, so not like i had something huge to carry). upon arrival he gave me the key and left, but failed to explain to me that the lock needs to be unlocked in a very specific way, so the first time i tried it took me about 15 minutes to get it open. the rooms were really small with 3 beds put into a room built for two (i was later informed by my roommates who i saw later on after i moved into another hostel that they added two more beds which they stacked on top of the originals) the one plus was there was a bathroom in the room that had hot water, however this one good point was nullified by the fact that there were bugs in the beds (the only place in rome i had this problem) i think the thing that made everything unbearable was the unnecessary rudeness of the staff working in the guesthouse. i was nothing but friendly and courteous, and i even tried speaking italian with them to make them more comfortable, however i realized they weren't italian themselves. overall i'd say do what you can to avoid this place since there's no way to know whether you'll be put in the guesthouse, or the regular hostel which may or may not be as good as the people on here have said. — natalie , USA (2008-04-21)


They did not understand English extremely well and the hotel clerk was shy, but Christine and her sister were very nice, friendly, and helpful to us. We enjoyed our stay with them very much and loved the value! The shower was a good one. — Sharene and Shelley (2005-04-21)
We are staying in this guesthouse right now and we WOULD NOT recommend it. The staff are EXTREMELY unfriendly and we would rather stay somewhere else because of how they act and run their guesthouse. We strongly suggest staying somewhere else! — Chris and Alex (2005-04-10)



Very clean, the owners were extremely helpful and nice, Very convenient to Termini station and easy to find! — Anonymous (2004-06-08)



Very clean place, close to Termini station, and only 2 metro stations away from major attractions. Very helpful owners. I found it much more convenient than when I stayed near major attractions. Good value!!! — AGal (2004-01-08)
