Chris QuartettiEspecially good if you're looking for inexpensive accommodation. Very quiet neighborhood, excellent proximity to Colosseum, trains, attractions. Building is old and worn down, rooftop terrace is cluttered with broken chairs and rusted metal, but offers a nice open-air view of Rome. Bathrooms and bedrooms are kept clean and sanitary. The every-other-night €2 pasta dinner is a great deal and a good way to meet people. Otherwise it's a bit hard to meet people since common area is on the top floor you don't get to see people coming and going. |

Jenna JassoThe staff is so friendly and amazing. They feed you every other day! and the breakfast is only 2Euro or sometimes included. They let you use their computer on a time limit, but still very accomodating. The rooftop is amazing! I felt at home here. |

Customer reviewWorst hostel I've ever been too. The building was half falling apart, the kitchen was absolutely dirty, they didn't have any kitchen utensils, breakfast (which costs 2€) is a bunch of packed things served on a brown paper bag. Location is good though. |

Justin KollingerYes, they have TVs in every room. Except they aren't hooked up to anything. They have speghetti dinners. Except they require 20 people to sign up first, which never got close to happening. It has a good location and a rooftop view of Rome, except there isn't much to see from the rooftop except a couple of peaks of certain monuments. Everyone kept to themselves and the common rooftop area was dirty and barely used. Overall, it was a bed that was clean at an average price, and I walked away with an average experience. |

Customer reviewA spaghetti party every second night: pay 2€ and get as much pasta and wine as you want. A great opportunity to meet people and shear experiences. WARNING: the place where we stayed was about 300m from casa olmata (street called via merulana). We didn't know this in advance and were a bit scared. Anyhow, the place was really nice and the rest of the building was full of flats of "normal people". I guess the private rooms (we had one for 2 persons) are in the separate building and the sheared ones in the casa olmata building. |

Customer reviewCasa Olmata was conveniently located, just a few minutes walk from termini and the metro. the staff was extremely nice, and gave us a great map. the breakfast in the morning cost 2 euro and was really great. they gave it to you in a paper bag so you can take it with you to where ever you were going, or you could eat it up on the terrace. they also offer a pasta dinner a few nights a week, which cost 50 cents. we had two different kinds of pasta and wine, for under a euro! i would definitely stay there again if i return to rome. |

Lindsey DraperCasa Olmata was great! It's right between the train station and the tourist sites...about a 5-10 minute walk to both. There is a police station down the street and the area seemed to be very safe. The hostel was very clean; the bathrooms are cleaned twice a day. We even had a refrigerator in our 6 person ensuite! The rooms are a decent size as well, definitely not too crowded. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful with just about anything and the 2 euro rooftop pasta party was so much fun! When I left, I was given a travel pack containing an apple, a water bottle, a juice box, and some pastries. I met some really cool people while staying here and I will definitely stay there again next time I am in Rome! |

Whitney AdamsThe proximity to the train station..also about 20 minute walk to all major sights. The the rooms and the building are very old but the beds and bathrooms (there was a bathroom with shower and hot water in my 6 bed dorm room) were cleaned each day promptly. Also, a fridge was in my room and lockers were available for smaller items (you can keep the key). Overall, not too loud from other guests as the rooms are dispersed throughout 4 floors. Great balcony on top to have a meal or to relax and read. Good for a 2-3 night stay if you need to be in and out and close to the station. |

Customer reviewHostel is located in ancient building on narrow gibbous street, very close to basilica Santa Maria Maggiore. It is 2-windows-wide house, with spiral stairs inside, leading through 5 floors to terrace on the top of the building. Comfortable rooms and beds, good kitchen, fridge and your own keys. Spaghetti party is on Monday. Nice and hospitable administrator speaks many languages, and Russian! What else is needed for the traveler? (???????, ???????!) |
