The staff was funny and very nice. Luigi was the best tourguide! The walking tours were interesting and they had a lot of activities in general and around christmas. The bathrooms were very clean and they were very careful around covid related things. Everything is close, like the trevi fountain (10min walk), colosseum (15 min walk) and the best pizza place I've tried so far (Trieste pizza).

Everything was amazing. I was going to be in another city after my stay here and come back to another hostel in Rome. However, I liked it so much here that I cancelled the other one and booked this hostel for a few more days. The staff is the best there could be. The activities, the common places, the location, everything was great and made my stay in Rome perfect.

    Really very good budget option for single female travellers as this is female-only hostel rooms There are some double-rooms, but in general, this place feels very safe and beds are surprisingly comfy, not the type you expect from the hostel they have storage rooms (you need lock) and now introduced late night reception, which is AMAZING Also, don't forget common small kitchen facility on 5th floor and terrace on 6th floor Also, i saw they agreed to refund a guy who made a reservation there by mistake - which was very nice of them

I hadn't stayed in a hostel since I was single and in my 20s but this time I was there with my two children (ages 9 and 12) and my two parents (in their 70s) and all had a great time. We had private triple rooms (three twin beds and private bathroom) The staff was great, the rooms were comfortable, and the breakfast was good. Would definitely stay here again.

    Great location and price, hostel had everything it needed. Keep in mind there is no Wi-Fi provided and since all rooms are downstairs there is limited service (pretty much none). Also there was no toilet paper provided, don’t know if this is a common issue but definitely annoying! Other than a few problems I had, this is definitely the best hostel for the price and location and I would stay there again.
