    Location it is in a scary area. Reception of the place was messy and bad smells. The bedroom itself was dark and bed super uncomfortable. Toilet cleaning does not exist on this hostel: completely disgusting I would classify it, honestly. I am a very simple person, I do not request fancy places at all, however the minimum standards of hygiene is a must and it was not observed on this dependences of this hostel.

    Literally nothing

    There's no kitchen. Location is in walking distance from centre but still a little bit far. Price is a bit expensive but fine for last minute request in Roma

    Reception/check in is not 24/7 but sometimes works at nighttime. There's a kettle available as well as an entrance to a summer terrace.

    Showers are not convenient, but its ok for 1 night. location is not in best area, well if you comming back at late evening using google.maps it will take you through not nice termini area. I used different address nearby to avoid it and at last bit changed route so felt safe :) Pity its next to poor neighbourhood.

    Very kind receptionist :)

    One of the toilets kept flushing every 3 minutes. It would even rain in the cubicle because wall mounted tank was missing it’s lid so they just had some plastic tied down over the top. Showers were gross along with the bathroom in general. They were clearly cobbled together to accommodate more people.

    Everyone I encountered, staff and travellers were very nice. Beds were decent and clean. Felt decently safe being a solo female traveller. There were quite a few other women, which was nice.

    The hostel needs way a lot of love. Rooms as okay, beds as well, but the restrooms can be improved a lot. There is only 1 toilet for all men. There is no door btw showers and main corridor, so if you go out of the shower naked, people passing across the corridor can see you. There should be some kind of separation.. the courtyard could have a wall paint or something, some lights to make it more welcoming..

    Beds are quite comfortable and rooms are confortable.

    The location of the hostel is a little bit away from the city centre. The environment near to hostel does not seem secure because of diverse ethnic immigrants who are dwelling on the streets and selling various "stuffs".

    The bed was comfortable.

    The bathroom is in quite a bad condition. In the male part there is only one toilet and two showers. Showers do not provide enough privacy.

    The location of the hostel is rather central. It takes only a half an hour walk to get to the Colosseum. The staff of the hostel is friendly and they're trying to keep the place clean.

    the hygiene of the bathroom was horrid (though i admit in part it's about how caring the people are... i can´t believe how some of y'all been raised) and the shelves had a layer of dust and hairs meaning its hadnt been wiped in at least a week. also the bedsheets seemed clean but the duvet cover had spots) there's a closet in each room filled with things of staff, meaning nowhere to place bags/coats, everything has to be left on the floor and it gets messy. In the room is a tiny tiny fridge completely insufficient for a room that hosts 8 people. (and the kitchen is just a microwave aand a kettle, not even teabags) also the closest metro station is 15 mins walking away. but its close to porta maggiore which has useful bus and tram lines. if yoou're planning on saving money on transport and walking everywhere take into account that the closest spot is the Colosseum.... 2km away (30 min walking) I know it's a budget option and Roma is an expensive city, but 22e a night for what it offers (no breakfast, unclean bathrooms, not really central location) its WAY too expensive. ps: the photos border on scam territory lol

    the system of the keys is very practical (for the building, the hostel, and the locker), and even though the lockers are very small it's good to be given a lock and key.

    There was no breakfast like croissant or coffee as said in the description. There was problems with hot water so we couldnt use the showers first 2 days. There is only one toilet on the men side. There is not much of a sound isolation even though we had a whole room to ourselves.
