Unfortunately we had to cancel our trip. There was no answer from the hostel when we tried to cancel. I'm sure we will be charged on the credit card even though we were not there... Check the Google reviews before you book anything on this site!!

Location of the hostel is very good it is told free breakfast but they serve only croissants it will be good if added with bread jam and butter and boiled eggs. During winter room heater will be on during night only otherwise service was good for south Indians restaurant Saraland bhavan is nearby walkable it is nice location to stay

Most of the interior furniture was old and damaged, sometimes actually broken or missing. Shower not working properly. 5€ extra per night were asked as "city tax", but no receipt was produced for this payment which was demanded to be cash only. Some things are just unbelievable in this city, yet no one protests. Can only be recommended if prices were much lower.

The worst experience of my life, I came there and they said there is no room for me because it was overbooked, after 2 hours of waiting, they got some bed. The indian guy from the recepcion was very rude even I didn't complain, he was saying like "we are sorry but actually we are not sorry", like it wasn't their mistake but the other company. Dont go there, rather stay at home

There's no hot water in the shower.

We booked a female dorm, but two guys moved in.

Except from these, the staff were very friendly, the hostel was still good for its price.

Service and rooms were great. Until we had to leave at 4am and whereas the previous staff at reception were happy to call us a taxi, the late night/early morning person was less complaint. He just didn't want to call some taxis and wanted us to find them (three) ourselves. When we couldn't find any where he told us he finally called the taxis.

If you guys need a nice place to sleep for a couple nights in Rome for a low price, this place is pretty nice. It is close to the train station which is nice to get to places, but debatable about the night life there. They have a small breakfast like a croissant which is nice too. Happy Traveling!

The hostel is in a very good position, near the train station and the metro station and it's near market and bar. You can go wherever you want by feet.

The room was clean, the same was for the bathroom. I met a lot of young guys and we had a lot of fun. It was great because there is a commun room upstair near the rooms, so if you want read or stay with some friends you will not disturb your roommates. Great hostel.

It was one of the best hostels I've ever been, the only problems I could say is that the soap in the bathroom were not good (they were water) and the breakfast was quite poor, but for the rest, it was perfect, well placed, free internet access, free wifi, very clean, good temperature, nice staff, everything was perfect.

When I arrived late at night, but at the scheduled time,the first thing I sensed was this horrible mildew odor at the entrance. In the rooms and baths it is disguised with strong air freshener. Frank, a reception clerk was VERY RUDE all the time not only to me but to other guests, not only at my arrival but when cheking out. He was never helpful, just gave me a bunch of keys to figure out which is which, he NEVER explained the hostel's policies nor the basic information for a new comer. The elevator is too tiny and scary.My first thought was: Where the heck did I end up at? Breakfast was OK, but no eggs...every day was the same boring stuff and if you are having it at 10 am, this lady screams rushing you to go. Location was the best part of this hostal, but unfortunately people like Frank should definitely not be working in the hospitality business dealing with other people. I was lucky to have nice roommates; otherwise, I would have been scared to be robbed since there is no space for big luggage. If you are concerned about your valuables, bring a good lock. I got bit by mosquitos, so there is no concern for spraying, there is no air conditiner nor a fan that works, or at least they never told me how to turn it on. Fortunately when I stayed, nights had a fresh cool air going through the window. Some noise from the street can disturb your sleep now and then.

Kitchen facilities may be improved (microwave is essential). The older guy who sits at reception in the evenings was found to be rude; the rest were very nice. Internet facility at rooms are poor; otherwise its fine. Breakfast bread may please be changed to something soft.

Receptionist : Uncle George was very helpful and gave useful information. Other receptionists were also friendly and helpful.

The hair dryer and shower should be fixed. (They are not in proper condition..)

The location is very good, very quiet at night, guests can sleep well.
