Liked: Free wifi, a nice common area, a helpful staff, and decent rooms with decent beds, far from the worst I've slept on. Nice and close to a metro stop with a well-stocked grocery store right next door. Lockers worked great and the rooms were clean enough, and for the price, it was a great deal in Rome.

Disliked: The bathroom smelled pretty terrible, the sheets had some tiny stains (they were obviously clean, just tiny spots), and the down comforters had some spots as well. But if you're well-traveled and can get through little discomforts like that, you'll be fine. You get what you pay for, and this place is quite a budget spot.

Liked: Was very easy to find, right near a metro stop which was 3 stops from Termini. The room had lots of big lockers. The kitchen area was a good place to meet people. Really close to the university so a lot of young people in the area.

Disliked: Only things were no stove top in kitchen, wi-fi was slow at times. The guys at reception didn't really give a run down on the city like other hostels. For the time of year we stayed the night-life wasn't great, however small bars and pubs nearby made it great for meeting locals.

Liked: It was relatively inexpensive, especially at Rome prices.

Disliked: Kinda far from the city -- it's not really possible to walk to the major sights, although at least there's a metro strop nearby. Not the cleanest place either.

Liked: pretty clean, nice facilities, close to the metro, free and fast wifi. there is also a great deli across the street that has good food (amazing cannoli's) for awesome prices.

Disliked: they charged 2 euros PER BAG for luggage storage on the day I checked out! the location is also a little bit out of the way, so you can't really walk to any of the major sights.

Liked: Nothing.

Disliked: The comforters are down comforters and have never been washed-you can tell. The bathrooms smell. The rooms are dark and dank. The man who works the night shift gets impatient very quickly and does not speak English very well, making communication extremely difficult.

Liked: The location of the property was good, it was right near the metro station so it was easy to get to and to get around as well as we were able to walk to a lot of places from our hostel. There was a grocery store next door that was convenient thought the hostel only has a microwave to cook things.

Disliked: My sister and I spent 4 nights there and had to change rooms all 4 nights. the first night the beds tilted towards the floor so we litterly had to hold on to the bed in order to stay on. The next night we had a good bed and then the following morning they moved us to another room as they had other guests coming to stay in our beds!!! Where is the planning on that one??? and then they stuck us in a room with no wi-fi, we asked to be moved to another room and they hmmmed and hawwed and put us in bunks with the thinnest mattresses and it felt we were having rods of steel coming through our backs... Also, I went out of our room to leave the hostel and I hasn't realised that the chambermaid had mopped the floor. The man (Sharif) who was working reception screamed at me to get back in my room, was I blind, could I not see that the floors are wet??? That really upset me and made me feel very upset and homesick. The Men working the front desk were always stoned and rolling "joints" at the front counter. I also did not like it that although there were lockers with keys, you had to leave your keys at the front desk when you left. YOu WERE NOT ALLOWED to leave with keys to the hostel, even when you were just running to the grocery store next door. Security was very lax. One day my sister and I went site seeing and had hung clothes to dry on our bed and when we returned they were gone. The man Sharif did not seem to care and yelled at us for leaving them there...though it was alright if we washed clothes and had locked the room before we left. The security here is not good!!
