    It's not particularly clean...When we arrived we smelled chlor from cleaning something but taking a closer look I cannot say it was. Specifically the shower and the towels.

    It was super close to everything and you were able to reach all the important stops quickly. There were a lot of restaurants nearby as well. The Personal was very nice and friendly to chat to.

    If you could get a better shower holder in the bathroom for floor 3 Door 7 then that would be easier to shower but other than that everything was 👍 Would book again if needed!

    Big room beds were comfortable and clean and the bathroom was also very big

    This hostel definitily don't worth that price. Before Covid, such dumbs worth up to 20€/night which was fine. This option is just for 2 or 3 nights maximum, since they don't change sheets and towels, neitheir there is an option to pay for change. The big minus is that they don't have reception until 1PM, so if you have early arrival you have to leave lugguage at train station. Evenmore, if you come later than 11PM they will charge you 20€+ This place is not reccomendable at all, but since there are not so many options in Rome, they will continue to run like that. Its a pitty why this dumb is working at all.

    Location, and only location.

    The showers were mostly cold, I think you have to be the first one in the morning in order to get a hot shower. And I prefer blanket sheets that cover the whole blanket. Don't understand the system with the sheet and the 'naked' blanket on top. Since we only paid around 60€ per night in such a central area I didn't expect anything super luxurious. So it was great for the price and would come back if I visited Rome again.

    I think it's really great for the price. The owner is nice and easy going and the place is quiet and close by the termini and the central bus station. Everything you need is close by and easy to walk to. To the Trevi fountain it is just a 20min walk. The 2-bed room is cozy and fine with an ensuite bathroom. It was clean when we arrived. I like that the bathroom has a window.

    We are students. Our experience was very good for the price. We got 4-bed room for ourselves. Room was simple and clean. Heating worked. Great central location close to subway and central station. The streets around felt safe.

    the personal was bad, they never been in the hostel so if we had some doubts it was hard to talk with them, the beds are really uncomfortable and the we didn’t have hot water the first day

    the location it’s good, like 20 minutes walking to the coliseum and the fountain of Trevi

    To be honest everything. To start with, the receptionist was very rude. He did not give us our booked room, he asked us to walk to another building with all the luggage to some random apartment. We booked room with three twins room, however we got room with one double bed in some random building. When complained, the receptionist threaten us with the money back and kick us out of the hotel at 8 pm in night. Overall terrible experience

    Location was close to public transport and train stations

    Location is great and the price is also great - for this price in this location everything else is optional - can't expect 5 stars comfort in a hostel - so all as expected from my side, again in this price range. From an expectations point of view - it's not your regular cool youth hostel - it's more of an affordable central accommodation, where you rest throughout your travels - nothing more, nothing less. Private bathroom was a must for us, so all good form this aspect also. A bit noisy on the hallways and from the opposite street restaurant, but not too bad.

    PLEASE READ AS A WARNING BEFORE BOOKING!! Hotel Roma, also called two ducks hostel or as we like to call it, hotel Hellaroma was a stay like no other. First of all after a 10 hour train delay (which me had mentioned) we were left standing on the door step knocking with no answer. After a 2 hour wait we were let in, and we’re told we had to wait for our room to be cleaned or we could take a smaller room further away- as both options weren’t even in the building we booked. On the plus side we were told we could leave our bags for the wait, however this was just in a corridor next to other rooms. After spending the day out the owner kindly helped to carry our bags as the room was a few streets away from the hostel and up a few flights of stairs with no lift. When we turned up to the room it turned out to be an apartment not a hotel room, with all doors hard to lock and un lock, and all windows and door to balcony within the apartment couldn’t shut (didn’t even have handles). That night we discovered due to the uncleanliness of the communal areas there were ants and bugs all over everything, including the kitchen counters and the shower. The next day we returned in the evening after a day out, and we discovered that all of our food (about €50+) which was brand new and sealed , our phone chargers and a diary which were all in one big bag, as well as a top and hoodie we’re missing from our belongings which we left in the communal area (which was shared with 2 other people). We asked about this and were told that the cleaner had removed and binned them, as he thought they belonged to the previous occupants of our room, despite it being cleaned the day prior supposedly, which we now believe it wasn’t, which explains the mess and unhygienic room we walked in to.

    central location, most staff were friendly and helpful

    The host was very hard to reach, we didn't have air conditioning and it was like a sauna, the water pressure in the sinks and the showers was very low and it smells like old people.

    The location was next to the center of Rome which was great but it was in a hood-like neighborhood which is very dangerous at night.

    Very friendly and helpful staff who told us how to use the metro and where the main sights were and helped us with a slightly dodgy lock! They gave us an extra fan to use in the heat. Very good location for the station and main sights of the city. Rooms were comfortable and facilities were clean.
