Customer reviewClean, spacious, 24 hour access, internet, left luggage, free maps. All fantastic, but it's scarey walking there late at night. We felt like we were being followed by strange men. Saw prostitutes in the street nearby too and lots of homeless people sleeping rough on the pavement. In the daytime it's fine. Inside the hostel is fine too. But outside at 2am, one night walking back, in the dark, behind parked cars, 2 people walking in front split into 2, so one was now behind and the other in front, behaving strangely and stopping suddenly forcing us to stop. Was terrifying, but we were able to run across the road between the cars and get back to the hostel. |

Customer reviewVery good value for money, excellent location (was a bit worried about how safe it will be next to Termini Station and wasn't a problem at all), friendly and helpful staff, decent breakfast and a real hub of intersting backpackers. only one thing wasn't so great - showers weren't that clean and smelled a little bit like sewage. For those that can look aside that - great place |

Kevin Robinsonlocation was decent. rooms were big and beds were decently comfortable. slightly warm with only the ceiling fan but thats expected. Breakfast was rather plain but still appreciated and worth it. Never tried the pasta dinner. |

Renat BekturovVery nice place, especially location is good, just 15 mins from Colosseo. Free pasta was also good and saved me some money :) |

Customer reviewThe fact that it is near Termini is a plus. The available Internet service is very very slow, however, and the keyboards of the computer are so worn out that you can barely make out the alphabet. |

Customer reviewBest hostel out of the 5 we stayed in in Italy. Great location, right next to main train station and metro, although you can walk the metro line using one of the free maps at the reception! Helpful and friendly staff, 24 hrs a day, free pasta on weeknights (not great but its free), breakfast was really good and pretty much eat as much as you want. Coffee machine at breakfast and working kitchen (big with cooker, fridge, microwave etc) in evenings if you want to cook. Good place to meet people, 2 busy common rooms with tables and sofas. 30 mins free internet per person each day. Dorms were big and clean but lockers hard to work - padlocks didn't really fit on, but small lockers on main floor held valuables. Would definitely recommend. |

Tsz Wing Jacqueline TamIt's easy to find, near train station. Staff are helpful, but the bed isn't really comfortable, and the kitchen is not clean enough. Easy to meet people |

Customer reviewVery close to Termini station and easy to find due to the good description on this website. Met some really nice people there. As the pub crawl was quite expensive we arranged our own pub crawl with some people we met at the hostel. Breakfast is really good for a hostel. Mama's pasta however is average, but it is free! Close to a supermarket and all sites are easy to get to from the hostel. |
