Dino - Giolitti Guest House

just opposite to the termini train station, really convenient but not if you're checking in. sometimes the staff is out and you have to wait downstairs not knowing when sb will open the front door for you. ring for ARTHUR hostel not DINO.

Very nice crew, excellent position in Rome and very clean and comfortable room!

HORRIBLE!! NOT AT ALL RECOMMENDED, specially if ur a family! first of all we didnt get the original place as it was being renovated and WE WEREN'T NOTIFIED before hand.and the alternative we got was a disaster.dirty living room with suffocating home and dogs everywhere and full of cigarette smoke.i paid for the night and left it with in an hr as it was unbearable.. NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL !!

We have been informed during check - in that instead Dino hostel we would stay at cherry hostel. For us it had what we expected - perfect price and 15minutes walking from di Trevi fountain :) and the centre..very close to Colosseo! But in the mattresses of our roommates were bugs!!They have been complaining a lot. Fortunately our mattress was clean and without bugs. Eventually beds of our neighbours disappeared, so I guess owner had been informed about bugs and they had thrown the beds away! For people who wants to have great location for great price and will not stay in the room (except of the nights) – I would fully recommend it. Enjoy Rome! It is amazing!

The Hostel was really fun, breakfast was included and a nice change from the crossaints we had the 8 days before. The other guests were really nice and the staff as well. The only thing we did not quite like was that we could not lock our room. Except it was awesome.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOSTEL. One of the owners does not speak English and more importantly it is crawling with bed bugs.

there were a lot of small insects - bedbugs... horrible!

they changed the proce after arrival to the hostel.

they smoked in the kitchen and for the breakfast was only marmalade and bred. (they wanted me to pay extra for it...)

at the last night from the 6 bed room they made 9 person room.

it was awful unclined, it was stinken from igarets, the elevetor was broken.

it was only one + the location but ypu can find a lot of hostels near termini.

there were no lockers...even if on the website the wrote something else.

We were supposed to stay for 6 nights last week, and ended up only staying 2 nights.

I had to go the doctor on the 3rd day because I was severely allergic to the bed bugs which attacked me both nights. I had to go and find a doctor, get a needle and pay 140 euro. The doctor wrote a signed letter saying I could not stay there anymore and that they should reimburse the doctor's fee and/or the remaining 4 nights accommodation. Neither of these payments were refunded to us.

Upon asking, we were yelled at and treated terribly by the person working at the guest house we stayed at (not Dino. Which we weren't aware of until the day we left). We felt scared and trapped by him because of the way he yelled at us and made fun of my doctor's visit and we were scared for our own safety because of how he treated us. Even from the first day he was unhelpful, apparently only changes the bed sheets once a week, despite who has slept in them. There was also no cold running water in the bathroom sink, and the toilet often would not flush.

The day I got back from the doctor and we had to leave was the day he yelled and made us feel very unsafe. So we waited outside until another man came (who we were told was Dino, but was not). Dino finally then arrived, but all three men were arguing and we felt cornered. We kept asking for the money back but they would yell at us and talk over us and just tell us they would take us to another one of his hostels in Rome. We did not trust them and I was already suffering from the bed bug bites. They would not let us speak, we felt cornered so we ended up just leaving, without any refunds for the 4 nights we could not spend there (for safety AND health issues).

A few other people staying there were arguing with the worker at the one we stayed at, they felt unsafe around him, others got bitten by the bugs and the area in general felt very unsafe.

The owner was kind enough to offer food when i arrived late and shops was closed.i liked the place.

They changed the hotel far away from the hotel we made the booking.

Not the most beatifica and safe área in ROME. It is just by the train station. Not só celas and the internet is terrible.

Dont really recommend this place unless you want something really Cheap and you don't mind the área or the cleaness of the place.

They were nice to me all the time and for everything I needed.

its a nice place, staff is always there if u need something,and they are always for help. its in a nice position, too closer to a metro station

Dinos Guest house is located in the heart of Rome and is managed by a Romano.

When i come back Rome, certainly i will stay at Dino guesthouse.

You have to speak or learn Italian in order to communicate with the staff guy!

I staid in this hostel in july 2011. A guy from Brazil was complaining about bed bugs. We didn´t considerer the consecuenses then, but about 6 month after the bugs appear in our home. They are extreemly difficult to kill, they are a really big problem. Be cearfull with these bugs.

Really lovely place to stay, the staff are so welcoming and friendly and great value for money. I would definitely recommend :) Francesca

Rooms were dirty, staff was incompetent and was speaking only italian, there was no water in the bathroom during whole our stay and don't believe in promotions!!!the last day we were kicked out of the room despite we had one more night booked!horrible!the only good thing was location-near termini station but it was also in dangerous area;/ and breakfast?one croissant and coffe;/don't believe in adverts!!

This guest house is terrible. Actually they're closed now. After the first night I stayed there, the staff told me that I had to change the room because they had 5 guests reserved this room. I left my luggage there, and when I came back, there a notice with authority's seal, that means they're closed and the staff lied to me. Fortunately, I was moved to other hostel which is better than the Dino Giolitti guest house.

For the price, this B&B was a shame. Seven persons in the same small dorm. No locker, nowhere to put our luggage in a safe place, no locker on the door. One of the 2 restrooms was almost in the kitchen.

But here comes the worst part. A sprung was coming out right in the middle of my the mattress and the mattress was completely smashed. As for my friend, a slat broke every time I was moving in his bed.

We achieved to sleep less than 3 hrs this night.

Thankfully, couchsurfing exists so we moved the next morning.

But I must say that the staff was really nice.

If you want "no-bells-and-whistles" accommodation in Rome this is it.

The hosts are a bit strange, but really great guys. Breakfast is OK. Atmosphere is very familiar. If I return to

Rome, I'll choose them again.

The shower was more of a sprinkle than a shower. The hostel was not clean at all. There are bugs on the kitchen counter, bathroom floor, and in the beds. When told about the bugs in the beds the staff just moved you to another bed with bugs and when complained about it again he just shruggs his shoulders and walks away. If you want to get a good nights sleep and not have a hundred bug bites, don't stay here.

Felt that the bathrooms needed to be refurbished as floors and plumbing were a tad dodgy. Guesthouse lacked decent security, our room had no individual lock, no lockers and front door often left open. Breakfast was included but lacked in quantity, health and variety.

ok! and very good healthy breakfast is included in price!

My keys didn´t work and instead of apologising or trying to find a solution, they told me that it was my fault. It happended the same to my room mates....Just disgusting

This guest house is terrible! First, the staff is very unpolite, unlike it says on their internet page. The room in which I was is dirty, you can`t close balcony dors and also I didn`t get the key of my room to lock the doors. When it rains, water comes in..bathroom is dirty, the toilet is clogged. You don`t have lockers, that is very important in theese kind of accomodations. On the internet it says that is renovated, but my room wasn`t. The only good thing is position, everything else is very very bad. If I was able to rate it with 0, I would have done it.

I booked a bed in this guest house, by paying 10% in advance, but when I arrived (at 22:00, as I wrote in the booking form) I found that all the beds were occupied by Spanish tourists, and the owner wasn't available at the phone nor at the mobile, so I had to find another place to stay, though it's almost impossibile in Rome at night. It's the first time I experience something like this, I will never come back to this guest house and I suggest everybody to avoid it.

we got there and it was an old building in an horible area, nobodi open the door and nobody answer the phone they gave

This is excelent place to acomodate for backpakers-> the cheapest in Rome, near Termini, they have hair-drier, breackfest is included, and gests have access to internet. However, the area is dangerous so I wolould rather dissuade live hear a singel woman and also I advise do not go outside when it is dark. Everything else is really great. I recommend :)

This Guest house - Hostel is just great!!! warm people fill like your home!!! clean tidy, and more importan in city center of Rome

dont do it

it is possible that the hostal management assignes you a bed in a different hostal than the one you have booked; in my case, i've been for two nights at "Astor" and for three at "Dino - Giolitti". both are similar, the stuff is more friendly at "Dino-Giolitti", but breakfast is worse...

We spend in Dino hostl 3 nights. Our room was clean adn nice with tv, bathroom and hairdryer. Hostel is close to termini, but area looks terrible and dangereous. Its cheap, we suposed to pay 16 euros but wehen we came, they took from us 18 because of the taxes. But anyway its cheaply. Its not easy to find Dino hostel, its o the 5 floor and the elevator is not working. Breakfast is rather poor. Staff means only one person who is amdministrator and cleaner but very friendly and helpful. I recomend that hostel to young ppl who are not travelng alone.

a simple hostel but a low budget hostel

it's a really cheap and good option :D

you cant use credit car!

you can stay one more nght free as they say in the information!

there is no chairs in the kitchen so you need to have your breakfast stand up.

the breakfast is poor. it is not like they say in the information.

the local is nice, but dangerous.

not recommended!

Not Terrible. Not Great, but a place to stay and very close to the Termini Terminal in Rome. Breakfast was nothing great. Weak Free Wifi, better than nothing at all.

We enjoyed the stay very much. The room was quite comfortable and the host - very friendly and willing to help. Perhaps the neighbourhood (central rail station, strange folks on the streets...) is not so good, but other than that - it is a great place to base while visiting Rome!

good place with good location and helpful staff.

The room was cleaned once - when we got in. The position is very close to the center but there are many immigrants in the neighbourhood. It's a good place to stay in for the price they ask.

None of the ratings that i give are valid because i didn't stay there. The hostel was full when i arrived, however they resolved the problem by moving me to another hostel close by. Very helpful in that respect and that is all i can say.

Nice owner, small place in a not so good neighborhood. Easy walk to Colosseum.

Overall nice place if you are looking for just a bed. Breakfast is coffee and bread with nutella.

just very close at a termini station...clean hostel but theres no space..near for metro station and restaurant , supermarket very close u can also buy food for open market....nice staff..

The small hostel located near termini station and in 5th floor but the elevator is broken but its work...nice staff.clean also...but space not much....very cheap

hot water is ok but takes a minutes become hot..staff is welcoming very nice ,near in termini station ,metro.supermarket..very clean also and super cheap injoy a lot
