27 September 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It was really good location - right near the central train and metro station

Disliked: pretty bad breakfast, you only get 30 mins internet each day. I stayed for 4 nights and got moved into 3 different rooms despite booking a few weeks in advance which was pretty annoying. The luggage room wasnt very secure and not locked.

27 September 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: breakfast and dinner included as well as short walk to train station

Disliked: pasta dinner very average and difficult to get on one of the pcs

25 September 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: They had a few communal areas, a kitchen you could use to cook your own food at certain times, free supper of pasta in the evening and 30minutes free internet per guest every day. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the reception was open 24hours which was very useful.

Disliked: It didn't have a particularly good atmosphere, to me it seemed a bit grotty, the breakfast in the morning was just rolls and hot drinks, although it was free breakfast. It was good for a night or two but I wouldn't want to stay longer than that.

20 September 2010 Krystelle would recommend this property

Liked: If all you need is a bed, and you're trying to save a buck, the free breakfast and pasta is great. It's in a good area where you are close to alot, but not so close that you are over run by tourists.

Disliked: Krystelle left no negative feedback.

18 September 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I liked the spacious rooms, free breakfast (2 bread rolls and condiments and juice and tea/coffee), free dinner and free half hour of internet

Disliked: I was the only girl in a room with a lot of men...that it lacked privacy was an understatement! Also the showerroom floors got filthy really quickly so a lot of manouvering in flip flops had to be done

14 September 2010 cheng would recommend this property

Liked: They will supply a map for the travellers, some staff are willing to help you. But dont put too much hope in breakfast, coz just a bread....

Disliked: Dont put too much hope in breakfast, coz just a bread....& drinks, that is call breakfast.......if you stay in 2/f , hope you will enjoy for a late night sleep, coz ppl are still gathering in around till at midnight....

13 September 2010

Liked: Close to the metro, bus, and train station.

Disliked: Almost everything. The staff were rude, they had no idea about places to go out when they live in Rome and are hostel workers. They did not care when we had questions or needed their help. The hostel is not clean and the showers are in the bathrooms and often smelled very unhygenic. We were two girls staying there and we were followed home by a man on the street 4 blocks away from this hostel. Therefore it is not in a safe area and beware if you are girls walking at night. The room also did not have working AC and its very hot during the summer - therefore quite uncomfortable as you can imagine. There is also a 30 minute time limit to use the internet which is very slow and freezes every webpage you go too. There is also only 3 computers and there was often a 30 minute plus wait to use them. After 12 you are also no longer allowed to use the internet which I have never experienced this before in any other hostel. It´s also relatively far from all the sites and from the airport. Overall, I would not stay here ever again!

08 September 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Plusy: blisko dworca, stacji metra, autobusów, zabytków- dojscie zajmuje okolo 10-15 minut, w poblizu sklepy. W budynku schroniska winda, ale dojscie do niej wymaga pokonania schodów na pólpietro. Kuchnia do dyspozycji gosci, choc tylko w niektórych godzinach. W pokojach szafy zamykane na wlasne klódki, klimatyzator pod oknem. Sniadanie typowe-kawa,herbata, mleko, bulki, dzem. Recepcjonisci pomocni.

Disliked: Minusy, choć niezbyt ważne to jednak: okolica niezbyt czysta, choć bezpieczna, posterunek policji w pobliżu :-), winda na półpiętrze, często zablokowana.

01 September 2010 Kathryn would recommend this property

Liked: Lockers were available (but you must supply your own lock), air conditioning was a great treat after the heat of the city, having an elevator was fantastic for heavy bags.

Disliked: The breakfast was just 2 pieces of bread with butter or jam and the bathrooms had motion detectors to turn on lights in the toilet or shower, making it necessary to dance around a bit in both since they only stayed on for 30 seconds at a time without movement. Having bedside lamps would have made it better so everyone didn't have to turn on the room's only light when arriving late or leaving early.
