Asmaa, China - May 03, 2013
I stayed with five friends in the 6 room private room, with own bathroom and it was a very mixed stay. We had to check in at a laundry, with a guy that didn't understand a word of what we were saying, and made us feel very uncomfortable even though he was probably just trying to be friendly, Communicating with him was very difficult, and we were considering finding somewhere else to stay. We had to come back a few hours later, because they still had to clean the room. When we came back, we were showed to our rooms by a very professional guy that spoke English well. It was very comforting to finally meet someone who could understand us. The room was very small, but it worked. The breakfast was nothing special, you go to the cafeteria downstairs and get a croissant and a coffee. The location is perfect though, it's located right next to the Termini station, so it was very central. We had a great stay in Rome and I would recommend it to people who are not looking for a luxurious stay but a very cheap alternative.

The practical condition is worse than hotel promised on internet, even no hot water, can't take a shower !

That was not Korean House. The staff relocated us to Ma Hostel (owned by the same people and located in other street) because of "broken water" in Korean House. Room was extremely small, filthy shower, dirty towels, no dryer, no clothes hanger, no case. No breakfast, no pasta.
The staff did not give us change, they owe us 2 EUR yet.
I strongly dissuade everyone from booking of this hostel.

Although the hostel is basically two flats, with no real common room, no kitchen and no lockers, the staff were friendly, particularly the Signora, there is a computer and free wifi, a fridge and a microwave (but no plates!). Basically ok for the price and location. But avoid the Laundromat around the corner - they tried to charge me €15 for 6kg of washing.

The hostel is near Termini and is quite clean. However, the rooms don't have keys so you're obliged to come back at the time the landlord tell you otherwise you can't get inside (it's not nice,if you're on holiday in a city like Rome you can't have time limit at night). The price is not very cheap for a room with 4 bedroom and there is no brekfast in the morning.

There is no Korean even, they are not Korean staffs. they are only using the name of Korean. Those are nothing to relate Korea.
BTW, Sun and moon hostel is other name of Korean hostel.
indeed, they don't only have facilities as Kitchen, but also, they don't serve the breakfast as Pasta.
all of information is wrong thing, plz stay other hostel.

not quite sure what to say. we were upgraded for free and no reason for a private room for 4 nights, but the free internet, laundry, and spaghetti advertised was non exisant. Services were very VERY hit and miss, mostly miss. Wouldn't stay again; and recommend something in the Trastvere area.
Tereza, Czech Republic - Mar 31, 2010
Very good hostel, not luxury, easy, not very clean, but absolutely sufficient. Staff is very nice, breakfast is small, but in a very pleasant cafe - croassant + very tasted cappucino. In total absolutely good quality for this money. I donť know, what "fun factor" exactely means

Simone, Germany - Nov 15, 2009
Location next to main train station, some small restaurants and kiosks nearby, rooms mainly clean but rundown, even if you book a room with own bathroom you have to cross the hall to get there, toilettes are also mainly clean but rundown. Wouldn't recommend this hostel for couples, but all in all it is a very cheap possibilty to stay in Rome and there is so much to see/do so that you won't spent a lot of time in the hostel anyway.

There was no availibility at the reception when I came. I had to wait 40 minutes for someone to give me the key and when that guy came, he asked me to come in another hour, so they can prepare a room for myself.
In the morning the breakfast was very poor and spoons and plates were not clean. The hygien is very law in general.
Teresa, Portugal - Mar 10, 2009
The hotel staff is very nice but sometimes it's difficult to communicate in English.
Breakfast ok but dinner very simple and cooked with too much oil.
Rooms are clean but still too dusty.
Should vacuum and not only a sweep. For people with alergy to dust better be carefull.
Heating is very good in winter.
Bathrooms very good. Showers are big and function well.
Location is good, very close to Termini (main train station), never had problems but if a girl don't walk alone at night.
Close to a hospital.
At the hostel there isn't much to do since there are no comon rooms to hang out besides the kitchen. You can use the kitchen but only microwave and fridge. You cannot cook your meals.
Landry and internet (half hour) are free for guests.

i booked here 3 months before my trip and 1 month before they wrote to say that they had to cancel the reservation because they had a problem in the bathroom. i had to find another hostel(its was a lot more expensive bcs it was holiday) and i had to go there twice for them to give me my money back(and i didnt get the 2 euros that we pay to make the reservation here).

Mari, Estonia - May 02, 2007
Quite ok. I'd probably prefere to have more than just ONE sheet in my bed, though. And coffee with my breakfast...
Marcin, Poland - Apr 04, 2007
