Reviews of Alessandro Downtown Hostel

19 January 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Enjoyed the 'pasta party' and the comfortable dorm, the convenient location.

Disliked: Large hostel, less "character" than other hostels I've experienced in the past, but they offer a lot for a decent price. The design of the shower stalls was a bit--awkward, I suppose, but the facilities were very clean and the water was hot, so it's really just a minor annoyance.

Liked: I liked the free breakfast, although because of the high price per night, it must be included!.

Disliked: Many things, for starters, the fact that they have lockers without locks, just to make you buy a 5 euro lock... the fact that they have a internet station, and although you get 30 min for free each day, it is so slow and limited system that you almost cannot do anything, on other hand, the staff is not so friendly and the only thing that they know how to do is apologise for stupid things... also, they have a key system with card, but although is not my first time with this system (Yoho Hostel in Salzburg also has this system) the difference is that overthere it works, in this hostel it SUCKS literally, everytime you need to get to your room is at least 2 minutes trying to open the door... most of the times, you run into luck and some other roommate opens the door from inside. BOTTOM LINE: This hostel is much overpriced and you should really consider if you would like to stay there... I know at least that I won't next time I visit Rome!!!.

Liked: Free breakfast and free pasta everyday! They are both pretty average, but they sure help the budget of the trip! It's really close to the Termini station, so that's a great thing about it, because that's where all the metro lines meet, the buses, trains and shuttles leave from.

Disliked: Elevator was broken until our last day!

Liked: I like all the people I met.

Disliked: Some of the rooms need to be updated. I spent one night in 102 and the bed did not feel secure, the ladder was hard to climb, and the ladder would swing out sometimes while climbing. I like the 300 rooms much better.
