I could of passed on this one but it's saving grace was that it was so unbelievably close to termini station. Other than that it was pretty basic; bed, bathroom, a fan. Not a bad place, just nothing special for your money.

location is very near and very easy to find out...for low cost money, nearest location, and for backpackers, it is best suited. the breakfast was ok and monty, the owner was cool. in the bathroom, hot water was not coming, but it was ok for us, since it was tooooo... hot outside. all in all, the stay was good

After traveling a month throughout europe and staying in hostels I can honestly say that my stay at the Ma hostel was my most pleasant. Greeted with kindness, helpfulness and hospitality. LIke no other experience that I had. In berlin my boyfriend and I treated like shit. While I am at it I do not recommend the Paginini if you go to berlin but as for Rome, Ma Hostel is the way to go. Worth the money and in an easy to find location. One block from the biggest train station in rome. Trains, buses and planes are at your fingertips. Monty who runs the hostel makes sure to give you good tips and remind you of all the things you do not want to miss. Just go with Ma hostel. It is honestly great.

need to point out - no locks on doors and the man in charge of the hostel kept walking into my room to 'look out of the window', which made me uncomfortable. when i arrived he also spent the whole introduction on the phone

Summary - 3 rooms appartment filled with 18 beds together. Small rooms, no common room, no lockers. Breakfast out of the building, free internet only for the first 15 minutes (out of the building as well). Shop around for something more attractive.

It has been the worst hostel I have ever been. I was just spending one night in Rome, and upon the arrival, the guy working there did not respect my booking since he insisted to put me in a room that has a different the number of people to which the reservation was made. Then, I went out for the city sightseeing, and when I came back, surprise!!!, they moved the bed where I let my luggage and personal belongings so that they included 3 new beds to the room (beds that were not in the room when he just put me in the room). The owner did not speak very good english (instructions and captions are confusing ) and he just said "new people is coming" as if were not his fault. The room was very very small, it did not have any proper facilities. Furthermore, the hostel as it self is extremly small (corridors,bathrooms, showers). Imagine that you need help from the people who work there to cross through the door with your backpack. It does not have any common room neither. Anyway, and as usually live provides surprises, I met very nice people, but this is not and advantage of the hostel. Fernando

I had a great time here. The guy (staff or probably owner) was beyond friendly and helpful. It was my very first time staying in a hostel and I was a bit skeptical about staying in this sort of place but Ma Hostel totally changed my thought. I met many fun people here too. I'd definitely recommend this hostel to everyone.

Ma Hostel is amazing, I came out of the Termini Station literally puking to death, but fortunately I was able to locate Ma Hostel pretty quickly and rang the buzzer. The staff came out looking for me immediately, and he was extremely helpful and put me in a bed even though it was lot earlier than the scheduled check-in time. The staff at Ma Hostel were all very friendly, patient, and helpful and they speak good English. Also, I met lots of people and it was really fun. Great hostel experience.
