The place is good and clean with a nice location but do not expect to leave your luggage there or take the advice that it will only cost you 5 euros to keep it in the train station for 10 hours.
We asked if we could keep our bags for some hours after our check-out and the answer was no with a really bad advice that says " it will only cost you 5 to 7 euros to put it in the train station for 10 hours " .. well it costs like 30 euros to do that for some hours so basically if you have bags and want to leave them somewhere while you walk around while waiting for your flight after your check-out just go for a hotel from the start it would be cheaper and better when you add the city taxes and the cost of leaving your bags in the station ..

so you wrote bad review because in train station is expensive to leave luggage, and also city tax is expensive, but the review suppose to be about our place, not about prices of train station or city tax you havo to pay for comune di roma.....

I would not recommend this place in the summer as it has no air conditioning nor a fan. Only the window was left open for ventilation and out source of 'breeze' if there is any.

Pretty good location. About a 25 minute walk to the coliseum and about a 10 to 15 walk from a main train station. The breakfast coupons are super helpful and so is the owner.

The place was great and the host was nice as well. It's in a great location, I would suggest figuring out the buses and metro for further activities such as the Vatican because that can be a lengthy walk. When I first arrived, the bathroom was very clean, but as the stay progressed there didn't seem to be consistent maintenance, but that could have been from the other guests using the bathroom as well. Overall very satisfied and I would certainly recommend staying here!

The light plus the fan in our room didn't work and we didn't get to stay in the place we were actually supposed to. Not bad though.

Good option for staying in Rome. One of the appartements of the hostel in which I was staying, just had one bathroom for 10 people and no kitchen - but ok for a short time.
anonymous, Germany - May 04, 2014
Double beds are very uncomfortable and there is only one bathroom for two rooms ( 8 people if fully booked).
The location is relatively central and there are a couple of amazing restaurants there.
Susana, Portugal - Apr 30, 2014
Very well reception by the staff. Good location (about 10/15 min walking from termini)
Barbara, Poland - Apr 06, 2014
The hostel is very good localized, 5 minutes walking from Collosseo, it's clean and nice, but there is no common area, neither a kitchen and just one bathroom for 3 rooms it's a little bit insufficient
The owner's reply
One bathroom for 2 rooms not 3....:)
Lorenzo, Italy - Mar 31, 2014
I had stayed with a friend of mine in a double bedroom with shared bathroom for one night only. We were looking for a cheap but good located accommodation and Poliziano Inn turned out to be the best option due to his position. It is just five minute-walk from the Vittorio Emanuele underground stop and less than 10 minute-walk from the Colosseum and Via dei Fori Imperiali. I would truly reconsider it as an option to stay if I had to go back to Rome again.
Pia, Sweden - Sep 25, 2013
It was a nice bedroom just a little hard beds and no mirror. And nothing to hang your towles on in the bathroom, But dispite that we can really recomande it, priceworth!!
Robert Jan, Netherlands - Sep 23, 2013
We had a perfect stay in the city of Rome.
The location very close to most of the items.A little bit noisy with open window. But nice and clean!
Lina Maria, France - Sep 01, 2013
excellent position
Miriam, Germany - Aug 12, 2013
Very nice, pretty small and just on one Etage, but calm and clean. Reception is nice, just sometime not there if you need. Location is good, not the best one but Central and Ok!
maria, Greece - Jul 24, 2013
No lockers, no 24 reception but you can arrange meeting hours with the staff, no soap for washing the hands in the bathroom and not enough toilet paper, poor breakfast, overpriced price for leaving your luggage after 2 pm (5 euros) but before 2 pm it is for free. Friendly staff. The hostel is near the Colosseum, but it is 20-30 minutes walk to the other sites. There are many shops around the area. It is safe to return late at night (from via Merulana). Considering the price It is ok!
Ana, Lithuania - Jul 12, 2013
Actually we didn't stay in Poliziano. Owner moved us to other hostel "Art in Accommodation".
Pros: Location is very good. Room clean and big. Owner gives coupons for breakfast that is in the bar 10 min fast walk.
Cons: the most dissapointing was shower. I had to choose between cold water and very small jet of warm one.
rocio, Argentina - Jun 16, 2013
muy bueno!! economico, limpio, a dos cuadras del coliseo, la zona es genial, unica critica, el desayuno es solo de 8 y media a 9 y media, y ni un segundo despues
Youngeun, South Korea - Jun 09, 2013
At least the place that I stayed, there was no lobby. Also the staffs were not always in the hostel so we had to call them or wait for them when we need a help. location is good but breakfast time is too short, 1hour.
Ricardo, Honduras - May 21, 2013
Best Location. I came into Rome to the train station and walked 7 mins to the Inn from there 5 mins to the Colosseum. The location is safe and has many good restaurants around.( Bar Ornelli my reccomendation). A good bed to sleep.
Daniela, Italy - Apr 09, 2013
Nice staff, perfect position, spacious room and a clean bathroom.
Justyna, Poland - Mar 21, 2013
NO KITCHEN, no seperate key to room, no key for the lockers, nobody stays with you at night,LOCAION GOOD - for tis price choose another hostel
The owner's reply

Diana elizabeth, Mexico - Jul 03, 2012
Its really clean, i stay a night, its really close to the trians station, colosseo, and other monuments.
I got lost at the time to find it , but then its easy.
Eva, Czech Republic - Jun 21, 2012
Very nice hostel! Highly recommended!
Alessandra, Australia - Jun 04, 2012
Good location, close to where we needed to be early next day. David was extremely helpful.
Marta, Italy - May 25, 2012
very nice and clean place, in a good quarter, with really kind staff!
AMIE, Spain - Apr 30, 2012
6-8 people sharing one bathroom was a bit annoying. There isn't a kitchen to make your own food, which is a shame since there's a supermarket within a block of the hostel. Overall, a decent place to stay for a couple of nights and close to the Colosseo.
Lovisa, Sweden - Apr 13, 2012
Nice, quiet and small hostel with a good location. Although breakfast was not included even though it said so and the room was really cold. Only one bathroom between 10 people. Overall a good experience, good service and wifi access.
XIE, China - Apr 07, 2012
good place and kind service！thank you for your servive
ALEXANDR, Russia - Mar 22, 2012
it's very very great place for stay for few days!!!
It's very clean and beds are very comfortable
but the most important benefit is locations. It's about 10 minutes from Termini station
very nice for this money!
Agnieszka, Poland - Mar 19, 2012
We had evry romantic room for two, with bathroom. there is no kitchen and the water wasnt hot, just warm, but in general we were really pleased to be there. the atmospere of the room and sunny view from window - on the buliding vis a vis with nice green windows was making us feel the magic of the city. The owner David is very kind, just make him remember to get the voucher for breakfast at the cafeterie.
muhammad furhan, Malaysia - Mar 15, 2012
perfect location and staff..
daniel, Mexico - Mar 04, 2012
great hostel,feels like a hotel, great location, the manager David really cool guy and give you the best explanations on to were to go. All of what you are looking you can find it in this hostel, definitely staying here again.
Laura, Brazil - Feb 05, 2012
Perfect location but is just one room with a bathroom that you have to share with around 6 girls. It means you will have to wait a lot for using it. The room is horrible, dirty bedlinnen. I dont recommend you
The owner's reply
Next time don't reserve 6 dorm room with shared bathroom if you want private bathroom,you had the room you reserve,there was other room private (not only one room) but you reserve dorm.......
Go Eun, South Korea - Jan 24, 2012
It was a bit hard to find the place as there's no specific sign for Poliziano Inn (it's 8, via Poliziano!), but very clean and friendly for the great price! I would definitely go back to this place next time...:)
LILIA, Bulgaria - Jan 23, 2012
We didn't have any problems there. Everything is the same as it's written in the review. The room was rely nice with WI-Fi, hot water, heating, TV. We are happy that we chose it!
Mia, USA - Dec 20, 2011
This is a smaller, more intimate hostel. I really enjoyed it, it is a nice and calm place to come home to and is a great location for walking to other parts of Rome. Go elsewhere for parties and nightlife, though. Great price!

Dorin Adrian, Romania - Dec 10, 2011
Cheap and easy to find near the Termini and Maggiore Basilica.Clean place ,with no breakfast and other services.Just for sleep.
Katarzyna, Poland - Nov 23, 2011
It's very lovely hostel in the centre of Rome. It were a pleasure to spent there this 3 nights. The location is great - 10 minutes to the Coloseum, 10 minutes to the Termini Station. The owner ist totaly friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and nice. That's a small hostel - 3 rooms, bad, without kitchen and common room, but the breakfest is very close to the hostel - in a nice bar. I recomend you that place. For this price - it's worth!
ADISH, India - Nov 20, 2011
