Liked: Very close to the train station, Colosseum.

Disliked: They scammed us. We paid when we were checking-in, but when we were checking-out, they said we haven't paid. They refused to let us see the security camera which would CLEARLY show us handing them the money. First place we stayed in Rome, left feeling cheated. DO NOT STAY HERE.

31 October 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The staff was amazing and it was in a good location. They offered lots of tours for small groups which makes it that much better. There's a big kitchen and 2 main areas that are enjoyable and nice to meet people. The bathrooms were very clean and the rooms were nice as well.

Disliked: Nothing!

30 October 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The location was fantastic. Easy walking distance to everywhere, if not 2 mins walk from termini station with metro and buses all around rome and italy! The staff were really helpful about what to see and the walking tours run by the hostel (although not free) were fantastic!

Disliked: It is in quite a dodgy street so I wouldnt recommend coming home late at night by yourself. The hostel is really secure with video security at the entrance...but the walk from termini to there is not so safe. Also the internet access is poor. Only 3 computers for the whole hostel...so there is ALWAYS a queue and the Wifi is really slow because so many people are trying to use it.

Liked: Breakfast was really good, vending machines were handy with water etc in them.

Disliked: We found many many olders people staying at this hostel. for example one night in our dorm of 6 people 4 of the others were very old, spoke no english, slept all the time and snored ridiculously loud and made it unbearable to sleep. We thikn the amount of old people at this hostel really spoilt the atmosphere.
