Reviews of Alessandro Downtown Hostel

15 August 2011

Liked: It was clean and secure.

Disliked: The staff are extremely unfriendly and unhelpful. The breakfast is so bad it is almost offensive. There is nothing to do through the hostel - no events, etc. for young people and it is virtually impossible to meet other travellers outside of your dorm here. The hostel is also in a sketchy area near Termini. On the other side of Termini, we saw so many better hostels at similar prices. I don't recommend this hostel if you're young, looking to go out and meet other travellers at night in Rome.
