Leaves a lot to be desired, but location and price were the most important factors for me, so generally I assess positively.

It was extreme terrible!!! We went at the right time to the hostel but nobody was there. We were waiting and called at the door. And after that we have to find another hotel! And finally I must pay full price!??

Also the area near Termini is dangerous for tourists and a especially for singles tourists. I don't recommend it to anybody!

To have a hot shower, I had to go to the reception that is located in another building. Staff without patience to explain things about the city. Bad experience. I don't recommend it.

the worst hostel that I have ever been to! DO NOT RECCOMEND...

Dirty (I saw pee on the floor in the bathroom), everything stinks. Not worth even 8 euros...

If you have some adaptability is the right place for you. Not very many services but only the necessary. Hot rooms but cold water after 10 seconds under the shower. Staff polite and helpful. Very cheap price!

Low quality but clean. Kitchen available, we could cook pasta.

Bathroom was in water after two days, probably it was becouse of other guests. On the last day there was no running water at all...

2 Euro/person/night we had to pay as a tax.

Price and location make it a good hostel. I'd go there again.

The best room you can get for this price. It's located really close to Termini railway station and has everything you need to spend a night.

Minuses are: room doors don't close, no microwave, cold at night (as in many places in Italy).

And please check your reservation before arrive, their system can not to process it.

Very unfriendly stuff! The information on the website is not true. We booked 2-bedroom with air-condition, bed linen, but slept in 4-bedroom and must ask for a room with air-condition and for the clean bed-linen. They gave as a dirty winter blanket without bedspread. Also we had to pay tax (2 Euro per person per night) even though on the website is written, that tax are included.

REALLY BAD! we had booked a private room for 2. first it is hard to find the place, second nobody was there to attend us, a neighbour called the guy of the hostel for him to come and attend us. the guy came with a friend and was almost rude to us. the private rooms were in another building, at least 10 minutes walking. no kitchen in the private rooms building and no internet. the guy came with us to give us the key but never proposed to help us with the luggage and chatted all the way long with his friend. we had to hurry to follow him! we had paid an account on internet when booking but once we were he did not agree for us to pay only the difference. finally we stayed one night instead of 3. the place was awful!

We had reserved a two bed private room but only a one bed room was avaiable when we got there. We made due. The room was in a sleezy part of town right next to the train station and a little scary for two ladies traveling alone but we did not have any problems.

The room was clean and comfortable just some noise from the street below.

All in all not bad for the price. We did not spend much time in the hstel because we were too busy out seeing the sights so did not experience much of the atmosphere or fun factor.

A very less than satisfactory hostel experience. The guy at the front desk was grumpy and unhelpful, was even irritated when we had to wake him up after knocking for 20 minutes attempting to return keys and check out. There was only 1 toilette for 16 people and it was nearly impssoble to use since someone was always locked in the WC showering. There was also black mold all over the ceiling. Fine if you just need a bed to crash on, but I wouldn't recommend for any extended stay.

the room was comfortable but near the noise of the traffic jam we spent a whole day and a nigh without electrecity and the owner didn't do anything

the double room was not in the same adress as two ducks it was near the temini station too much noise and a dangerous zone but it's ok because there is a nice cafeteria just next to our apartement so you can have your breakfast with 2.5 euros :)

This was a handy little place for someone on a tight budget. It was in a part of town I had been advised to avoid, probably why it as so cheap.One of the staff did not speak English, which made communication difficult, although the other staff member seemed quite pleasant and helped me with my Italian as well. The facilities were clean enough, although the kitchen and dining room were a little cramped and there was no room to move in the toilets. No internet access and far from sights of interest reduced the fun factor, but otherwise, this place was a reasonably comfortable place for a cheap price.

Hello

We can not cancel your reservation in the agency which booked because Cancellation is 24 hours. At the moment we are living in another hostel because when we arrived at the hostel was empty, I had to go to another hostel because we had nowhere to go with things.

Sincerely, Anton Vyazmin

A very basic hostel, brightly colored giving it a more fun vibe. It was in a great location right by Termini and the staff was very helpful. Heads up-you can't get Wifi in all the rooms.

Very small showers and toilets. You can't realy count on the breakfast, as it is very small (as in most hostels). Otherwise clean... Have facilities for cooking and refrigerator (small of course).

This hostel has 2 different locations. I was in the one around the corner which is just an apartment, with no staff present. There were NO LOCKERS, which I was not impressed with, especially when the room was shared with 5 other people. The water in the shower was tepid - ok in hot summer weather, but would be horrible in winter. Showers etc were clean, but we had no top sheets on the beds, just a cotton blanket which was not removed for cleaning when people left.

No character, a bit overpriced, I would not choose to stay there again.

I switched hostels for my last night in Rome and was much happier. Close to Termini, but in the wrong direction.

It is however safe, in a safe area, easy access to Termini and relatively clean.

To clarify directions: Via Marsala runs parallel to the tracks on the right if the tracks are behind you. It changes name after crossing the major road in front of the piazza. The hostel is not easy to find.
