In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book

  • Friendly and accommodating staff — Reviewers highlight staff helpfulness, including handling late check-ins and arranging meetings after shifts, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Some noise from the street — Being on Via Roma means traffic noise can filter into rooms, which one guest noted as a minor drawback despite the otherwise positive stay.
  • No doors in some dorm areas — One guest mentioned the lack of doors, which increases audibility from other guests, though they personally enjoyed the openness.
  • Limited amenities included — Towels and toiletries are not provided, and breakfast may not be included for all stays, as noted by one guest who was unsure about it.

“Close to the sights, with free breakfast and a terrace. All guests must be present at check-in. They offer luggage storage and a smoke-free environment. The lack of doors meant I could hear everyone's stories, which I loved, and I slept wonderfully.”

5.9Verified guest

“Excellent value for money. The room was large and perfect for our group of friends. The air conditioning worked perfectly, a real lifesaver in the summer heat. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, even meeting up with us after their shift. The location was ideal, with key attractions within walking distance and good public transport nearby. Having a kitchen was a nice bonus.”

The location was a big plus—very central and convenient for the train station and attractions. The staff were friendly and accommodating, especially when we checked in late because of our flight.

“We had a private room for 3, perfect for a one-night stay. Late check-in went smoothly with welcoming staff. The building was clean and secure, in a convenient spot near the central station, bars, and restaurants. We didn't try the breakfast, so can't comment on it. Overall, a satisfactory experience.”

“I had a fantastic stay. The location was perfect, right in the center of the old city, and I could easily walk to all the sights. The price was unbeatable. The staff were friendly and helpful with any questions. The hostel was neat, with beautiful tiled floors and a lovely balcony in my private room. Minor downsides were the noisy street and lack of towels and toiletries, but I'd highly recommend it for the value and location.”
