The hostel has a great location and a nice terrace, which were definitely the highlights of my stay. The lady at the reception was very friendly and helpful, but unfortunately she seemed to be handling everything on her own. It is clear that one person cannot manage all the tasks alone.
The main issues were the lack of cleanliness and organization. The toilets were often dirty, and there were simply not enough of them for the number of guests. The overall atmosphere felt quite chaotic at times. In addition, there is no café or similar facility in the hostel.
This place has potential, but it urgently needs more staff and better organization. With improved management and cleaner facilities, the guest experience would be much better.
The location was good as it is close to the Roma Termini station. I wouldn’t recommend this stay to anyone. The people were not clean who stayed there. The bathrooms are not clean and lacked basic amenities. The bunk bed made creaking noises. The people coming in and out whole night made it difficult to get sleep.

Overall location is pretty close to attractions, either walking or by transit. But if you’re a very light sleeper like me, it can get very noisy at night because of the busy street and sometimes noisy roommates in the dorms. Communal dinning area and terrace was nice, but we couldn’t figure out how to use the stove lol. And I recommend having a sim plan that has calling because when we arrived and tried ringing the doorbell, we were waiting quiet a while before being let in.
Hostel had little to no amenities, other guests had poor etiquette and cleanliness. Other guests would leave food out that attracted bugs and were noisy when coming and going in the late evenings. Staff was kind and accommodating. Overall it was a fair experience for the price.
Decent for the price, however issues with basic amenities. Shower was half broken, half the power points didn’t work, no towels available for all three nights, window wouldn’t close. However bed was decently nice and they brought in a portable a/c during a really hot day

The property was well situated and priced for us. Very near public transportation and local restaurants. We walked to collessium and fountain of Trevi and all around, but it was a LOT of walking. The beds were actually comfortable. The only issue was the hot water wasn't working on the second floor so we had to shower on the floor beneath. Also our bedroom door didn't latch. The bathroom was missing the door handle, so had to use the coat hook to pull the door open, which was barely hanging on. The shower head was held up by bungee which was attached to the shower curtain rod and the over head light. Not really the safest fix. The place is a bit run down, but the beds are comfortable and clean and a good price. I would stay here again in Rome.
I don’t think having a quiet night is too much to ask for… Yet the room I was in had no A/C, so we had to have the cooler on all night long, which was insanely noisy. I mean… Insanely. I still can’t believe they charge for a room in such terrible conditions.
Also, the top bunk beds, apart from one, had no way to climb up, apart from stepping on other people’s mattresses — which was not only unhygienic, but also too soft to offer you a proper “step”.
Also, no place to store (let alone lock) your luggage!
Just unbelievable.
This said, the staff were super nice and helpful, the place was clean and it was quite central.
Sadly, this is all that was good about it.
I’m extremely easy going with my hostels, but this shouldn’t even be qualified as such. All in all, I don’t recommend it at all.
DO NOT BOOK. I arrived at the hostel address and the hostel is out of function (october 2026). Websites allow you to book a room at this hostel even if it is CLOSED. I was redirected to another hostel that did not meet my expectations.
It was a great stay Here at this hostel, i will recommend it to anyone i know coming to Rome.
It's really budget friendly , welcoming reception and it's a great place to get to know another international students travelers and others.
I am happy that i spent some days here before moving out ^^
