    Random male staff member came into female only dorm at midnight
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 6-Bed Female Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    I was in a female only dorm with us all asleep when at around midnight a male member of the cleaning staff came into change one of the beds for a late arrival. No explanation at all and woke everyone up. One of the 20 year olds even tried to ask him a question of why he was in there but maybe he didn't speak English as he said nothing. I completely understand the poor man was just trying to do his job, but whoever told him to go in at that time is completely unprofessional. Young women like us stay in female only dorms for safety, so to have a random man walk in the middle on the night without prior notice or explanation is terrifying - and extremely unprofessional as this should have happened much earlier in the day (even with female dorms you expect cleaners no matter what gender to come into clean during the day). It was just quite an abrupt way to be woken up in the middle of the night. This was a shame because the Reception staff upon arrival and check out were so friendly! After getting woken up I struggled to get back to sleep as the beds were so flimsy - every-time the person on the bottom bunk moved it was like an earthquake. I have stayed in bunks previously of course but these were easily the worst I've ever slept on. Thankfully I was only there for 2 nights before heading home so I just kinda accepted my fate.

    Reception staff were really friendly and location is great from the Roma Termini, however after being there I learnt that locals recommend not to stay in this area as it can be quite dodgy which I wish I had known prior to booking. However for my needs it was perfect location. Lots of young people there so really good if you're a solo traveller (particularly a female!) and want to meet lots of other solo travellers.

    If i were to visit Rome again, Alessandro Palace and Bar would be where i would stay. Definitely good for it’s price.

    The only complaint i would have is that drainage in the bathroom. Although much can not be done about the smell that might come from the drains when you flush the toilet, it’s a good thing that the windows are able to open wide enough to air the room out within 5 minutes. Otherwise, I find nothing to complain about.

    The property is close enough to the train station that it’s easy enough to move around Rome if you aren’t the walking type. But it’s not so close that there are crowds of people and cars right outside the doorstep. It’s very convenient that’s there are 3 or more restaurants on the same street, where the food is amazing and the prices are not damaging. And if you enjoy nightlife, there is a lively bar left around the corner, with live music and lively people. And if you don’t fancy an overly crowded area but still want a drink, the Hostels bar is perfect. The drinks are cheap, and will definitely get the job done- especially the amazing cocktails- the bar staff are very friendly and have good taste in music. The room i stayed in (8 Mixed) had two bathrooms which made things easier. The beds were comfortable and the sheets were clean. The lockers are big enough for cabin sized luggage and a rucksack. Check in and out was easy. And it was easy to come and go at anytime you wanted.

    Beds were not overly comfortable, the showers were awkward, little wet rooms that opened into the corridor and the festival bracelet they give you upon check in reminds you (and anyone who sees it) how little you are paying per night.

    Great location, had a kitchen, lounge and attached bar at nights.

    Beds are thin and the showers are wet rooms with only a hook for all your belongings, the women's floor has a sink you can perch your stuff on but it's impossible to keep everything dry.

    Great location at a great price point. Good lockers and large rooms.

    The duvet they gave me smelled like feet before I used it. To be fair, that was the only problem with the cleanliness. The lounge is a little small with inefficient seating and not very fun to spend time during the days.

    Lightning in the room. Only one setting off or very bright, would be nice to have a dimmer light or bed lights especially if you want to sleep earlier.

    The bunkbeds are really cheap, they move a lot and they don't have any kind of curtains. If someone take a shower the bathroom is going to be completely wet. There is a little common area, but it's really small and good just for reading.

    Close to Termini train station. 24h reception. Good price for the quality. Bathroom both in the room and outside. Mattress and pillow comfortable enough. Internal bar. The dormitories are big enough.

    One member of the staff didn’t have a clue how to read there registration system for who is suppose to be in each room. Being woken up at 5:30am to be told I’m a week early for my reservation really pissed me off. There was no breakfast here like in other hostels I’ve stayed at. Only communal kitchen where it’s BYO stuff. Other then the typical broken stuff around the property it wasn’t bad

    That is was centrally located and about a 6 min walk to the central train station. Fair amount of places to eat near by. Of course the price was great

    The height of the first bed is not enough for a tall person. Also, as a group we tried to watch spanish cup final elclassico, but the bartender refused and watched his own team’s match

    The price was a little bit to high, but I assume it was for new year...About the hostel, the only bad point was the common bathroom which was full of water, the shower splashed water everywhere.

    Everything was good, I enjoy my stay! The room was good, everything clean! also the kitchen was good. And it has a good location, if you like walking to everywhere, it is perfect for you!

    Tissues in the toilets can be of better quality, no USB ports in the rooms (but there are a few near the kitchen with seating around), the surroundings seem shady (but that could just be me, but I grew up in India, so I think it's a fair bet)

    Closeness to the center (also a con), happy hour at the bar, karaoke sometimes; if you're a social person, you'll have a blast of a time, otherwise, it can be as quiet as you make it, hair dryer in the toilet!
