Staying in Casa olmata comes with free breakfast! The staff were really lovely and the spagetti party is great to chat with people and have really good value food! The location is good and a close walk to lots of tourist sites!

It's a very average hostel, not awful, not great. Location is very good, close to main train station and Colosseum. The staff were very friendly. Average cleanliness. One shared computer for internet that you could almost never get on, no WiFi. No lift and a million stairs if you get a room on the top floor. So yeah, average. It's ok if there's nothing else but if you can spring a few extra bucks, there's nicer places.

Very well done, considering the building is 500 years old

Location is really amazing, right between train station and major sights. View from the roof top is very nice as building is one of the tallest around. Would definitely stay again.

Good location with friendly staff. A bit rough building though in need of renovation. But close to both Colloseum, Termini train station, a supermarket and a lot of nice restaurants. If you want to stay here you shouldn't be too fastidious.

The Terrace. Great views of the city. A good place to relax and enjoy a beer and chat. The spaghetti party was great (good value at 2 euros). The only down side was bathroom which wasn't particularly nice.

We were very well received at 08:00 in the morning. We had the possibility to leave our very heavy backbags in the hostel. We were received by a very friendly stuff and were offered hot drinks. We reached our rooms and bathrooms in the afternoon after cleaning. It was very easy to find the hostel. It is located about 10 min walk from the Termini station. We even did not use any transport to reach the most famous places like Coliseum or the Spanish Steps. The location of the hostel was very good. Doorms and beds were rather clean. Even if we had more than 35 degrees during the day, it was not hot inside the hostel. The hostel from outside does not look very nice. It is quite an old building. A lot of things inside are still under construction...Bathrooms are flooded very quickly. The kitchen is not really clean. There is not a lot furniture. The rooftop terrace was very enjoyable to take the breakfast but the view was not so exciting as expected. Unfortunately the cook was sick so no spaghetti parties :( The breakfast was sunstantial but we expected a fresh breakfast. Instead of a bag with industrial food. As a conclusion, this hostel is the ideal location for those who do not want to spend a lot of money and who want to be in the center of Rome. We were in the hostel just to sleep and to have a breakfast so it was perfectly enough.

The breakfast was great, however, there was no hot water, limited blankets, and no additional services offered.

This place was great for the communal terrace on the top floor. Awesome 2euro pasta and red wine night. Staff gave you water every day when you come back if its hot. Very helpful. Breakfast in a paper bag has like 9 different things in it to chose from! 2 streets and 5 mins walk from Termini. Very close to supermarket and internet and good irish pub!

Walking distance to the colossium, ancient city ruins rome, the bus depot and rome's central rail station Termini. A full packed breakfast is given to you each morning with a cup of Joe and bottled water so you can hit the road. Every other night their is a pasta party at 8 with wine, just 2 euros. If you can't make the party be sure to go to the terrace for the leftovers. It was the Best Pasta I had in Italy right there at the hostel. The hostel is near the centel police station, beautiful churches, nunaries, a tourist info booth and a pub. Perfect for all taste. Be sure to check out the veiw from the terrace at night.
