Nice and warm stay in Rome Franseco is a really nice guy who tries everything to help travelers. Hostel itself is more like a friend's home and the sweet couple make it clean and warm and comfortable. It is highly recommended for people who want to know more about Rome or just a night of stay there.

Fun, friendly, quiet and comfortable Francesco runs this very affordable, quiet and clean hostel. It's conveniently located to a metro stop with access to all of Rome. Francesco is a very friendly guy who aims to please (in fact, the place seems to attract lots of friendly guests as well). He gave us an orientation of Rome with a map upon our arrival. Twin Cities has internet access and a full kitchen. The best surprise was that, on our third evening, Francesco made us and the other guests a terrific pasta dinner (which we enjoyed with some excellent, affordable bottles of Chianti that we bought from a small shop down the street). Highly recommended!

Best place to stay in Rome at affordable price This place would come familiar to everyone that pases over its doorsteps. Everything you will need. Wonderful host that will take care just you don't have to miss anything ranging from tourist informations, book guides, internet PC, wireless, balcony, kitchen. You can call for ride from the airport for a reasonable price, also. That would be almost twice train ticket price from Fiumicino Airport of Rome to Termini Station. But, consider you can put all your luggages into the trunk of a car and step out info the hostel without other worry.

This was a great place to stay -- friendly, clean, centrally located If one is looking for value, cleanliness, friendliness, and general comfort, then make this hostel part of your stay in Rome. This hostel is operated by a young couple that tries to make your stay as pleasant as possible. It is located very close, but not too close to the Metro making all of what Rome has to offer within a fifteen-minute journey. I would highly recommend this Hostel. Thanks again for everything Francesco.

Best one so far. This hostel is owned by a very sweet couple that make you feel like you are staying in the house of a very close friend. The place is beyond clean and environment is very peaceful however you can still go to down town in fifteen minutes by metro. Fair prices for beds, laundry, internet and very friendly atmosphere. Shortly if you wanna stay in Rome and leave it with good memories this is the place to stay.
