It is located in an area between the turistic atmosphere and the bit frightining and gothic ambience of the station area and a ninetienth century district.The hostel is little,with few guests.There were not cleaned cover in my bed directly on the linen that cover the matrass,dirty pillows over every bed ,and insects in my bed that bited me at night.Bathroom was outside,for the room and was not so clean.

The guy is super nice and super sweet the girl was a little rude it wasn't quite what I expected but it definitely wasn't a hostel horror story. The people I met there (other travelers) definitely made it worth the stay

Firstly the area felt quite dodgy, definitely don't walk around at night by yourself! It is at least close to the metro. The hostel is not really a "hostel", it is basically some dude's apartment. There is no reception or anything so it felt quite unprofessional. In addition most of the facilities listed are not really available. So 24 hour security basically means the people who run it were pretty much always there because they lived there...? It says online there is air conditioning - there was none in my room, just a fan that didnt work. There also was no tv, not sure if there was really heating as it was super hot and I didnt need any. There is of course no room service! There was no breakfast included. Cafe and restaurant means there is one nearby. I saw no evidence that they had any lockers and I'm pretty sure he said I could not use the kitchen (though they did not speak English very well so it was hard to tell). It is cheap, but sometimes you get what you pay for! Would not stay here again.

Great stuff that really tries to help you in everything and makes you feel like at home all the time. Gelu will try to help you in whatever he can and that's a good reason to recommend this hostel!!

Girls' dorm is not on the address that's 10 minutes away from Termini but a 15 minute walk from there, so that was annoying. Clean rooms, but lockers are NOT private; you share a big locker with someone else. (you both get a key which opens one of the two doors of one big locker)

Easy to reach from Termini train station and well connected by public transports. It's a good compromise between price and quality. Perfect for small groups of young people who want to visit Rome in a cheap and easy way!

I don't know how they have such good feedbacks, it wasn't clean at all, there was a lady there which was very rude, the room was freezing cold and the blankets were size of a towel and I was shivering 'til morning and had to leave for another place for my second night!

we were very excited about the hostel.The rooms were clean,comfortable and the host was very friendly.They helped us with the information regarding the touristic attractions and they even showed us the most affordable souvenir shops.We would choose the same place if we were to visit again Rome.

They have multiple places. Basically flats turned into a hostel. The one I stayed in was close to the colosseum and at a reasonable price

This was my first ever hostel stay, and I wasn't disappointed! It was very clean - my friend got out of the shower and within five minutes the owner was in there with a mop cleaning up the bathroom before I showered! Very close to Termini station, and not too far from all of the sights that Rome has to offer. The only down side was that this is more of a group home than a hostel - there isn't a common room for hanging out. However, if you don't mind hanging out in your room, it's no issue! I would definitely stay here again!

You will never be sure whether this hostel can offer you a bed even though you do the reservations. One month ago, I booked a bed for 3 nights in a superior 4 beds mixed dorm thinking that I would get a nice environment to rest in my 3 days trip in Rome. And I paid the reservation fee nearly 10 Euros. But when I arrived they had no rooms for me and cheated me sending me to another hostel with much worse conditions, saying that this is your destination. And they even discussed with the new host to charge me the same price as a superior room. I didn't get any survice from WOW COLOSSEUM though they charged me the fee of booking. The seconed night I changed into a new hostel with Chinese hosts.

is a big lie who knows where you got for me in my block is a Chinese board but I think they teau teau tricked and taken from them that's your fault for not calling me

We had a great time in there, it's quite close to the historic center and really close to San Lorenzo, so we had a grat time enjoing night life in a university area. The room was clean, with small bathroom but it was enough for this price. There was a kitchen we could use and the stuff was really funny, nice and helpful.

I stayed at the Wow Colosseum for 3 nights and overall I had an OK experience. The best thing about this place is the location. It is very close to two train stations and a 10 minute walk from the Colosseum and many other sites. This is not really a hostel it is more of a guest house. There is only about 7 beds so if you are looking for a big hostel this is not for you.The place is run by a nice guy and his girlfriend. The man was very helpful and attentive. He even gave us a map and marked all the sites. The worst part of this place was the cleanliness. Although it appeared the man tried to clean, the place smelled a bit of cigarettes. Also the bathroom in our room was very small and smelled of mildew. The bed areas could have been a bit cleaner too. I was only given a very thin comforter and I was cold at night. The other concerning part was there are no locks on the bedroom door or lockers included. I did not have anything stolen but still for security I think its important. Overall Its not the Ritz but if your looking for a place to lay your head and shower to explore rome its not a bad option at all. Also there was free wifi and a kitchen to use. I would recommend for a student with a tight budget.

I enjoyed my stay in Wow Coloseum. I had great time, not only with the other guests but also with the staff, because they're sociable.

The hostel is always clean and you can fell a very good atmosphere.

It's located near metro station, Coliseo and other important places...also there are many restaurants

I enjoyed very much my stay at Wow colosseum! it is a small hostel but very welcoming, it has a perfect location only blocks away from the metro and Colosseo and it has supermarkets and restaurants near. you can use the kitchen to cook and put your things. Finally, the staff is the best, very sociable and helpful. Viva Gianni!

In Rome I was in two different hostels that's why I had chance to compare.

To be honest this hostel isn't so good

There was an unpleasant smell

But it justifies it's money. If you don't have money for more expensive accommodation then this variant isn't so bed

I really enjoy my stay at Wow Colosseum, it's located near Termini, easy to reach within walking distance, not far from Metro Station and Supermarket. Staff was really nice and helpful, room was clean and comfy. I do reccomend this hostel.

It's a nice house with the basic needs covered and it's really close to the train station and to the metro!

But the bedroom smelled bad (like cigarrets and dog) and the smell stayed even after a full day with the windows opened. Also, there's no heating in the house.

It's 5 euro a night, you can't get any better than that. The staff was extremely nice and welcoming. The bed was comfortable, and bathroom was very clean. The location is pretty prime, it's about a 5 minute walk to Ancient Rome, and only 5 minutes from the train station. Stay here if it's available!!

small and simple but absolutely trustworthy. with kitchen accessible to everyone and two bathrooms if you take a room without private bathroom.

a 20min walk from the station and about the same to the Colosseum. after a 10min walk you reach a metro station that takes you for example to the Vatican.

no breakfast as it is a guesthouse, but nice staff.
