I had a really pleasant stay. The owners are amazingly nice to talk to and help you all the time. There's hot water and everything available.

I would highly recommend this place.

Few minute walk to a subway which will take you everywhere you need to go. The landlord was knowledgeable of Rome and gave me a game plan to see the city. Wifi worked well and there was A/C. Very solid place for the price.

I would definitely recommend this hostel. It was the first hostel I stayed at when I got to Italy. It's a little far from the city, about 4 stops on the metro from the Colleseum. The sitting around and kitchen were nice but the bathroom was too small to share with 6 people. The staff was really friendly and helpful. I would definitely go back!

The hostel was nice and very cheap for Rome and they had free coffee and tea. But I missliked the bathrooms. They were very small (2 square meters) and there very only two of them for more than 14 people. Moreover the doors were really noisy, so it was hard to not disturb anybody.

A great Hostel location near the San Paulo Basilica Metro Station which has quick links to major sites like the Pyramid and Keats' grave in the Protestant graveyard, Colosseum and only 5 stops from the Termini which links to the Line A Metro - this gets you to places like Trevi fountain, Spanish steps and the Vatican. The Hostel staff were friendly and welcoming. The rooms were clean and well cared for. A highlight was the free pasta supper for everyone in the hostel on the Saturday night. We got to know all the people really well and made some lasting friends. Francesco, his wife and Massimo, who run the hostel were fabulous in their help and advice for travelling. When we visit Rome again, ths will be the place we stay at again!

We stayed for 5 nights at a double en-suite with own bathroom - it was in a 3 rooms apartment - it was clean and well kept. There was a terrace as well and we really enjoyed our stay, especially the pepperoncini pizza place down the road and the Basilica Sao Paolo.Would definitely return there.

When I back to Rome for sure I would like to stay in Twincities again, it is a really nice place to rest in after a long touristic day.

Great place to go to in Rome. The owner knows great English, and is very helpful. The beds and rooms are kept clean. At night the kitchen (fully stocked) is full of people hanging out, or you can go with a group of people to Rome's night life. There is WIFI with great bandwidth. Banks, grocery stores, and pharmacies are just a quick walk (< 5 min) from the front door. The metro is also just a short walk away. The metro stops running at 23:00, but there are night buses from Rome to the hostel (two blocks away). Would definitely go back to this hostel.

It was a very comfortable, clean and homey hostel, and the staff was very friendly to help, too! There were also travel guides, adaptors, and maps that were free to use, which I found very useful! Although a few stops away from the main landmarks, the place was very easy to navigate--directions were very clear. Also very close to some good restaurants, the bank...very convenient! Would definitely go back again!

We had a wonderful stay in TwinCities on our hike across Italy. In fact we liked TwinCities and Rome so much that when we reached our destination we headed straight back to spend our last couple of days there, instead of on the beach. The property is clean and good value. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The property is central enough due to a regular underground connection. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rome.
