very hard to charge anything as there are four plugs for 40 people and its not very safe as it has left in the lobby where no staff watch over it. bathroom need a clean. internet almost not existent, so slow and only 1 computer. location near to vaitcan but better to be near coliseum. rooms noisy due to road and creaky beds

Best possible location - easy as pie to walk to station and sights. Bear in mind, it is more like a pension. Do not expect a hostel. It was fine for me but I would've liked a proper kitchen or even just a kettle.

The location of the Hostel was great! Just a few minutes away from the Coloseum which you could see from the terrace on top of the building. Not the best hostel around, but def. a cheap stay in Rome.

I liked that there was a microwave and internet available for free. It was in a great location, being on metro line A and close to the vatican as well as plenty of restaurants. The room I stayed in was great as it had 4 well spaced beds that werent bunks and good lockers that could fit a 75l backpack. The staff were friendly and helpful. The bathrooms could use some improvement especially the showers which are kind of gross but apart from that its great value for money and I'd definitely recommend it.

The location is amazing and right next to the vatican. Its small and inside a building on a busy street so a nice retreat after a long day sightseeing. Staff are lovely and a girl at the desk took extra time to tell me where everything was and how to get there.

Horrible place to stay, DO NOT STAY HERE. Would not recommend! Extremely dirty smelly bathrooms even though they lock you out for 3 hours during the day to clean.. what cleaning?? Bunk beds were the worst we slept on our whole six week trip around europe. The duvets smelt like they hadnt been cleaned in years!

Spring's beds are not confortables. Beds upwards are very high and have not any ladders. No kitchen and no drawing-room. Internet is good. Hostel is not enough cosy.

Great location just 5 minutes from Vatican. Helpful staff. But the facility is horrible - old beds, uncomfortable mattresses, dirty, 1 old computer with slow internet, no fun... I don't recommend it.

It's very close to the Vatican, and tube station and it's easy to get there! Staff is very helpful, I had to stay few more nights than I previously booked and they didn't have any problem with finding me extra place to sleep.

The use of free internet is good and its great for getting to the Vatican early to beat the crowds..i think that they should have hooks on the back of the showers though because i had to hang things like my underwear over the door...

Internet was free. Very near the vatican. The worst aspect of staying there is you have absolutely no privacy. The two members of staff walk freely into your room even when you are sleeping to strip the beds!

Cheap Hostel close to the Vatican enables you to get there early and avoid the queues. living space is small but you dont pay too much for it. Easy to walk everywhere from here.
