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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
