Liked: Really close to central train station. Fun bar. Free internet. Allow you to eat your own food in the bar (even with their cutlery, etc.) Helpful staff. Cage drawers under bed to store/lock up stuff. 6 bed dorm very big. Rooms nice and clean. Loud fan kept room cool and provided good white noise.

Disliked: Internet was impossibly slow when lots of people were using it. It was under rennovation so the stairwells/allows were literally crumbling...just doesn't feel "nice". Bathroom and elevator very tiny...honestly if you are overweight I dont think you could stay here. No kitchen.

Liked: The location was simply fantastic. You arrive at the central station and in a few minutes you are at the hostel. Remember: Termini Station is the only metro stop for both underground lines. The rooms were clean and the bar-cafeteria below was simply fantastic. Even for breakfast. In the evening... total chaos, in a good way! :)

Disliked: I found the toilet and shower clean, but too small. I wasn't expecting Taj Mahal but they were small even to move around inside. Furthermore, I don't know if it's a general problem, but there wasn't cold water from the sink's tap, you had to brush your teeth with warm... yikes. The absence of a relatively quiet common room was felt. Not everyone wants to party all the time. Sometimes I just wanted to read a book or use the computer in calmness. And I wish there were small spot lights above the beds to read before falling asleep and while moving around in the night without disturbing the other travelers.

Liked: Fairly easy to meet people, easy to find and get to. Reasonably cheap, good restaurants near by.

Disliked: No wifi in the rooms would be okay if I didn't have to go all the way from the fifth floor down to the bar. Not too many people go out somewhere else at night.

Liked: It was a very good location, not far from the station. I didnt get the metro once, I was able to walk everywhere. There is also a good bar downstairs, although it would be annoying if you were in a room just above it. Staff were nice enough, helpful if you asked them a question specifically.

Disliked: The bar is the only common area, which sucks at night unless you feel like drinking heavily every single night. My room was on the 5th floor and the lift was constantly broken, and when it worked could only hold two people at a time. The stairs were also frequently blocked off, meaning just getting to your room was difficult sometimes. There was another way in, but it meant going up eight flights in another building then coming back down to your own floor. Hot water was not consistent, and toilets were often out of order.

Liked: Everything was ace, especially the free drink - I had a Long Island Ice Tea which was generously portioned and very tasty!

Disliked: There was building work going on which was loud and made the stairs inaccessible. The lift went haywire and I was waiting for ten minutes, which was pretty irritating. I imagine it'll be finished soon, though.

Liked: The hostel was really lively and secure and it was worth the money. I stayed for 2 nights. It is only 5 minutes away from the Termini train station so it was easy to get to after 4 hours on the train. The staff was really helpful and upon checking in, they gave a free drink coupon to use at their bar. my room was clean and spacious and the bunkbed was really comfortable. the bathrooms were fine. their bar was really lively and was full of great people from all over the world, i met really great people and had fun. the bar was cheap both for drinks and for the breakfast in the morning. the hostel also lends iPads for 30 minutes so it was great to use. i'll definitely stay there again when and if i ever go to rome and i'd recommend the hostel to anyone who wants to stay in rome for a few days.

Disliked: nothing. well, the only thing was that I had booked a only-female dorm room and it turned out to be a mixed dorm room, but it was okay as my roommates were all great.

Liked: The location is very good. The bar downstairs is cool. You get a free drink voucher. But that's not really what i look for in a hostel, i can go to a bar anywhere, i want somewhere nice to sleep. There is laundry near by and ATM and nice good value restaurants.

Disliked: There is no wi-fi in the room. Also no air-con and it was really hot when i was trying to sleep. Also when I was there they had a big robbery which is obviously not really the hostels fault but still pretty scary considering you need swipe cards to get into the rooms.

Liked: nice hostel friendly bar staff and receptionists! clean rooms good location easy to get to from rail way station! bar was a great place to make friends and not bad drink prices!

Disliked: at 35 euros a night its a little on the expensive side maybe lower the price or offer free breakfast and offer free towel hire? the shower set up in the mixed dorms wasnt great you couldnt really change in the shower because if you took your clothes in they got soaked!

Liked: What's sweet about this place is that it is easy to get to from the Train station. The directions were perfect and it only took us 5 minutes. What I also liked was that it had it's own bar right in the front of the Hostel which made socializing very easy to do. We met a lot of cool people who were travelling and had a great time.

Disliked: Nothing.
