02 June 2011

Liked: The bar and restaurant are ok.

Disliked: the staff is very rude and unwilling to help with basic issues. The hotel (or camping site) is too far away from the city, and it cost me 70 euros to get from the train station to there. The trailers are not secure, not clean, and don't have towels, shampoo, soap, etc. We got there after 8pm when the hotel store was already closed, and the front desk said they simply couldn't find us a towel, that we couldn't shower that night. Didn't even try to suggest anything. My friend sat on his bed before going to sleep and the bed broke to pieces, he had to sleep on the floor. It would have been cheaper and much better to stay at some place else. The room is dirty, water was coming out of the toilet, and the blankets were dirty as well. The walls of the trailers are paper thin, and we could hear everything that was going on in the other 5 trailers or so.

Liked: have a market and a good restaurant, in a place far-away like that is the only good thing..

Disliked: the shower of my room was broke, and they didnt fixed it, the hostel is SOOO far-away we take 1 hour every day to get in rome...

29 May 2011

Liked: The free shuttle bus was really nice. The property looks quite nice when you arrivve, and the bar/restaurant/market is all lovely as well.

Disliked: Wifi was €4/day (a bit steep in my mind!) and I was placed in a 44 bed dorm? true, i was the only one in there, but it was quite dodgy. I had to hunt down clean sheets/blankets/pillow on my own- it got quite cold at night due to the broken windows. There was no lock on the door at all, and the room looked like it was undergoing some sort of construction? The dogs in the run right out side were quite annoying as well. Not the worst place I've stayed at, and especially for the price, but I wouldn't stay again.

Liked: Very helpful and friendly staff!

Disliked: Not enough bathrooms...also, an owl hooting ALL NIGHT, but that's not the hostel's fault :)

24 May 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Tents had outlets and were more like mini campers. Loved it.

Disliked: It took a really Long time to get there. From Tiber plan on spending an hour if you want to get into Rome or get to the train station. And it can cost a lot going back and forth.

Liked: Awesome place especially for budget travellers. Cheap and convenience. A bit far from city center but well connected by train and metro. You will reach into the city of rome in less 30 minutes. Recomended..

Disliked: not much to dislike.

17 May 2011 Subhendra would recommend this property

Liked: Far from the madding crowd but quite a happening place with superactive bar and sexy swiming pool.

Disliked: The rooms were not cleaned daily

14 May 2011 Catherine would recommend this property

Liked: It isn´t too far from Rome and so considering everything in Rome is so expensive for hotels and hostels this place was good value for the nights we stayed so that we could see all of the major sights. The pool is nice and the washrooms are clean and showers hot.

Disliked: The beds were REALLY soft !!! The covers and pillows that we had were mouldy so if you have sleeping bags I would recommend using them. Other then that all I can say is if you just need an inexpensive place to sleep and shower while in Rome then this is good...You get what you pay for.

10 May 2011 Gwendolyn would recommend this property

Liked: The pool was a nice touch, excellent food, bar, and convenient shuttle times.

Disliked: The location is obviously a mild drawback, but the staff works very hard to accomodate travel to Rome.

10 May 2011 Adam would recommend this property

Liked: Great personnel & amenities (pool, bar, internet, hot showers), convivial environment, calm nature setting outside of the city, unbeatable value (I paid 53 euro for 4 night stay w/ my girlfriend)

Disliked: Really far from Rome (about an hour or so, from Tiber to Termini), bad smell around WC area, Prima Porta (city with nearest train connection to Rome) is kind of shady at night

09 May 2011

Liked: The shuttle to the train station.

Disliked: i stayed in a little mobile home, the bathrooms were quite a walk away, and it was cold when i showered becuase it was essentially outside. The wifi was only in the bar which was really far from my 'room'

06 May 2011

Liked: It was clean and cheap and the internet was free

Disliked: No mouse pad for the computers which made it VERY annoying to use the computers. The 2 bedroom bungalows were like a prison cell and the walls were paper thin, you could hear people next door breathing... It was a mission from Rome in what seemed like the bad part of town. I found a blak hair in my croissant and they accused us of planting it... All round dissapointing, I will not re visit and would not recommend. If you want cheap camping / bungalows just outside of Rome central and you want a bgetter atmosphere, check out Castel Fusano

04 May 2011 Wendy would recommend this property

Liked: Nice atmosphere, bargain private room in Rome. The restaurant was good and reasonably priced.

Disliked: The mattresses are a bit uncomfortable

01 May 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This was actual budget accommodation, for travelers actually on a tight budget. For anyone in that situation who realizes that there are a few negatives associated with low prices and is OK with that, come here. Everything is functional and clean but there are no frills. The dorm is divided up into little rooms with two sets of bunkbeds in each, there are lots of toilets and showers with plenty of hot water in a bath house that you have to walk to. There are free computers, a breakfast deal at the bar and a basic market. The staff are also very trustworthy: I accidentally left my Blackberry at reception and they actually came looking for me to give it back.

Disliked: If you want to be in the center of the city or have a real hostel atmosphere, this is not your place. People use Tiber because it's cheap, that's what they are interested in, they aren't really there to meet and/or party. Nobody's rude, they just do their own thing. And it's about 45min to get into the city, over an hour to get back out, but it's only 1 euro each way.

Liked: ok

Disliked: ok

27 April 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Private rooms are cheap, but you must buy metro passes so it might have been just as cheap to stay in city centre. Decent restaurant

Disliked: Market is overpriced and walls are thin.

26 April 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: its cheap and quiet!

Disliked: its far from the city but the shuttle bus provided is a good means of travel

25 April 2011

Liked: very cheap and very great atmosphere and staff

Disliked: way too far away from the center of rome

24 April 2011

Liked: It has a decent idea.

Disliked: It was FREEZING cold. If you don't want hypothermia, I don't suggest going here. I told reception at 9am that there was a hornet's nest in my bathroom and nothing was done about it. Also, at 9am we told reception that the power was blown out. They didn't fix that either so the heat was off the WHOLE day, making my trailer even colder than it was in the first place. Reception closes promptly at 11 so if you have a problem like I did, like no electricity, you're screwed and nobody will help you.

24 April 2011 Molly would recommend this property

Liked: It was convenient that there was a mini market and place to get drinks right in the hostel.

Disliked: Kind of a pain to get to at the end of the day.

20 April 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It was a really great place to meet people, and the restaurant is AMAZING! such good times and good food

Disliked: Kindof far out of Rome but it's easily accessible during the day, if you want to go out at night it's difficult but the campsite has a fun bar anyway!

19 April 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Value!!! the place is clean and cheap. At this price range, I don't wanna complain. The staffs are helpful. Great for people who travel in groups.

Disliked: Location is not that great. I find it's not so good for a girl traveling alone in the night. After 9pm, it's really hard to get back to the place. Beds are not so comfortable and the shower reminds me of Katy Perry's hot-cold.
