The Hostelz.com Review
A small hostel located about a kilometer from the train station. It isn't very close to the train station or the main toursist sites. There are only a few rooms, around 6 beds per room (combination of bunkbeds and regular beds) with guys and girls in separate rooms. There is one bathrooms for guys and one for girls. There is a small sitting area outside in the back. The overall cleanliness of it is about average. Unfortunately, the staff are somewhat unfriendly.

Very poor I found my stay at the Sunshine hostel to be extremely poor. It was very difficult to find, and quite a long walk from Termini, through the not so nice part of the city! The staff were unhelpful, to the point of being rude! The room I stayed in was not far from being dirty. The beds were uncomfortable, there was no cleaning done in the room i stayed in. With no type of air conditioning the room was very uncomfortable in the evening. The showers were so small that I could barely move. The toilet door had no lock so there was very little privacy. overall, I did not have a nice stay at this hostel and will not go back. It was not the cheapest priced hostel so i did expect a lot more. — Traveller , UK (2009-06-22)
I cannot recommend this hostel to single or double travellers. I had made a reservation for a single room and they actually have no single rooms at the hostel, only dorms. First they try to persuade you to take a dorm bed and if not they ship you over to another one of their hostels (Sunshine 3), which is further away and much poorer. This happened to me on a very hot day and after a long walk to hostel nr. 1. This hostel nr. 3 has no security (they say they have a twenty-four-hour reception --that's a lie!) and tiny rooms. The rooms have televisions but there are no common facilities, not even a fridge. The beds and the toilet were clean. Rome has much better places where you can stay for the same price! — Nora (2006-07-02)


The rooms and beds in this hostel are comfortable and clean. If you are travelling in a group of three then it is just as good as a hotel room because dorms are three beds. My only complaint is that the dorm I was in had a man who snored like an elephant, he snored and laugh-snored, and scream-snored. The hostel is easy to find from the main train station. — Dan (2006-05-08)


This is a very good hostel. The receptionist is very friendly, the rooms are clean, and the beds are comfortable. It has a very good atmosphere. I would stay here again. — Anonymous (2004-10-27)
DEFINITE NO GO. For the amount of money we paid for a double room at this hostel you would have thought they would be able to provide hot water for all of the guests. One morning out of three I was able to have a hot shower. Not only this but during most of the stay the single toilet was blocked and unusable. This resulted in a rather disgusting stench floating down the hallway. — Anonymous (2003-11-16)
