Don't expect a big selection at breakfast. It's 3 kind of cereal incl. muesli, a good selection of hot drinks from the machine, orange and pineapple squash (not the best) and hard bread rolls with jam and butter. Atmosphere was good. High security, because of a camera system and key cards for the rooms. The toilets and bathrooms are behind each other, so you got through a small toilet cubicle in the shower. It was always flooded in the evening, not very nice if you wanted to use the toilet or just put on clothes after having a shower. 1/2 hour internet per paid day. During the week there is a small plate of really good pasta at 7, but they don't want anybody in the kitchen then from half 5 till 7. I think for the money they charge, they could provide more.

Free breakfast and free pasta but showers are freezing however we had the best time here, they are so helpful and give you so much free stuff its amazing. Has a sister hostel with a bar and the good pub crawl picks you up from this hostel. We would definately recommend this place.

Great hostel. If I had to fault it, I'd say the communal areas could be a little more relaxing...they're not great for lounging about. Some bean bags would make it perfect! But I'd most definitly stay there again!!!

This was my first Hostel. People have told me horror stories about hostels. Not this one, but hostels in general and I do have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The people here were very friendly, the hostel offered breakfast and dinner on the house, and I also liked that everyone wasn't out of control partying every night. I would definitely recommend this hostel to other people!

Really good place. Very convenient location- less than five minutes walk to Termini Train Station and only about ten minutes walk to the Colosseum. You get half an hour free interent usage per day which was great. They also have free pasta dinners which is another plus. Staff are really nice apart from one guy.

hostel was clean enough, the lockers did not all lock, but we felt safe enough in a female dorm. some of the staff were really cool, others not. bathrooms were generally kept clean, and showers mostly hot. overall decent stay. thanks :)
