17 July 2011

Liked: I haven't enjoyed all the things that the hostel offers, like the free pizza and the internet. But it its a good place to stay.

Disliked: Althought it has a good location because it is close to Termini station, it is not safe to walk there on night because it is dark in front of Termini station if you want to go to another places and it has some homeless people there. It is better to walk in group of 02 people or more, specially if you are a womam.

30 June 2011 Tomasz would recommend this property

Liked: Close to the train station and air conditioning for when its still really hot at night

Disliked: Not walking distance to the Vatican if you're on a tight schedule (we found out the hard way), breakfast is absolutely atrocious compared to other hostels we stayed at that offered free breakfast

21 June 2011 Cristina would recommend this property

Liked: Terrace on the roof, really good place to meet people from all over the world

Disliked: To drink at the hostel bar you have to buy non-refundable metal coins. The location is not that central, you have to catch a bus to the city center at the train station wich has a lot of homeless people at night

21 June 2011 Steve would recommend this property

Liked: This did exactly what it says on the tin. Great fun place, and our room was pretty good too. The staff were all fantastic, and we met some good people in the downstair bar, which was really cheap! Location was pretty excellent from a transport perspective... the only downside to that was there were no good restaurants in the area, and being foodies we had to trek it quite a bit to find nice places...

Disliked: One genuinely troublesome downside to be aware of - noise carries in this place. Particularly the lower floors nearer the bar... be prepared to sleep with ear-plugs every night... we did and we were on the top floor... The booze in the bar was cheap, but it was kinda limited option/quality wise... but now I'm being picky!

17 June 2011 Amanda would recommend this property

Liked: The room was really comfortable and spacious, and we felt at home. Facilities were in good conditions although sockets were not provided for (we had to use those that connected to the hairdryer and air conditioning). The presence of air conditioning was much appreciated.

Disliked: Breakfast was a little too simple, with packaged bread, spreads, and two cereal varieties with drinks (milk included). In spite of this, it was still a great overall experience! Would definitely stay here again.

15 June 2011 Roberto would recommend this property

Liked: Great place to have fun, get to know people. They have a nice bar with cheap drinks and Pizza every night!

Disliked: That is a big hostel, so it is hard to talk to a staff guy to ask for some travel tips.. And one day, I got a bad tip from one of them... but that is minor... The staff is very friendly.

Liked: The staff behind the desk where very friendly and always willing to help, The cheap bar on site helped us meet new people, and the bar staff was Again very friendly and helped us feel very welcome with Free Pizza! The tours organised from the front desk was amazing value and helped us organise our days better. The rooms where no thrills but exactly what you need to have a great holiday. Free one day internet, Free Pizza every night, and 1 free bottle of wine. Was great.

Disliked: The bar closed at 2pm, breakfast ended at 9am

24 May 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This place is awesome. Only 5 minutes walk from the train station. Breakfast is not so good but it is free. They offer pizza slices for supper. Everybody is friendly and nice and there is a bar where everbody meets and have fun. Rooms are clean and there is a terrace on the top of the hostel where you can drink and eat.

Disliked: I recommend this hostel to every young traveller who wanna meet people and be close to all activities in Rome.

13 May 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This hostel was in a good location and had a great rooftop patio. The rooms were clean and it was nice having your own bathroom. Stayed in a room with 7 others including one of which was traveling with me. All friendly and nice.

Disliked: This property was not set up well for meeting other travelers. The only place to really meet is in their bar which you cant bring cheap beer and booze in after 6 pm to talk to others. The bar prices were too high for a hostel bar that has a grocery seconds away selling beer for 2 euro compared to their 3 euro for the same beer. Really took away from the back packing and meeting others experience Ive had in all the other cities ive been to.

23 April 2011

Liked: Close to the train and metro station. Had pasta dinner included for the nights I was there.

Disliked: I was supposed to stay at the Palace, but got moved to the other hostel. The hostel bathrooms were dirty, smelly, and gross. You had to shower in the same room as the toilet and everything would get soaked. The receptionist wasn't very friendly to myself or other guests that arrived at the same time. Definitely would not stay there again. The hostel doesn't really have a party atmosphere.
