Alessandro Legends Hostel, previously called Alessandro Indipendenza, is a small, new hostel in a central area near the Roma Termini (train station). This makes arrival in Rome very easy. If you are coming from the airport, make your way to Termini. If you are travelling within Italy, your train will terminate at Termini. If you come by bus, get on a metro and get to Termini. From the station it's only a 5 minute walk. Avoid the touts at the station and take the right hand exit from the station (facing forwards from the direction the trains arrive).
Do however keep an eye out for the hostel entrance. It's at the bottom of a building, it's one of the apartments, and it is possible to walk past without seeing the sign. Once you locate the right door to enter off the street you just climb up to the right floor.
There are only a few rooms at the hostel, which makes it a little bit more personal than other hostels. Unfortunately, all the rooms come off two tiny corridors, so it's set up like a little hotel. The rooms have dorm beds and there's a central kitchen for breakfast in the morning and a common area to hang out in at night. Each dorm has from about four bunk beds per room and an ensuite bathroom with a separate toilet and shower. All the ammenities are pretty clean.
Legends is part of the Hostels Alessandro group (consisting of several hostels in Rome), so you can make use of the active bar at the Palace in the evenings, and the big screen TV and other activities they have like pizza nights and pub crawls. The Palace is only a few minutes walk away.
