it's a good place to stay near the train station. No frills or common room etc, but clean and secure and excellent value for money. The owner is helpful too. if you want a cheap place that is also clean - here is all good!

When I arrived the owner was not present. Someone staying at the hostel came to my attendance and she was simply awesome for doing that. There are no kitchen facilities, just a fridge. I did not receive a free breakfast even though it was advertised on the site, excuse being that I paid cheap. The dorms and bathrooms were claustrophobic and made me feel extremely lonely. No secure locks. They kept lying about the internet service being down. The strangest thing was when guests arrived they would add extra bunks on top of the single beds without notice, even though you paid for say a 4 dorm, you may end up residing with 6 people. The owners are money hungry and rip guests off without realising it, so please book in advance or definetely look around for better hostels. The location is the best thing on offer but only stay for a night nothing more!

it's very close to Roma Terminal, just 5 mins walk. I love the breakfast there, which is offered in a Cafe @ the end of street, the bread and cappuccino is good!

Cleanliness of bathrooms is not good at all. Toilett seats were dirty and not cleaned even once since our arrival. Rooms are just a summ of beds in a small space, with soffocating atmosphere and just a stand vent to circulate air. The property is located in the second floor of a flat building, next to termini station. If you need to spend a night its fine, but not recommended for long terms.

I cannot say enough about Ma Hostel! Wonderful! The staff went over and above to ensure that my stay was as pleasant as possible and the location cannot be beat - steps from the train station! An absolute delight! I highly recommend it!!!

The guy at the reception doesnt stay there full time, so you may arrive in the hostel and wait for hours until he is there (who knows when...). There is no kitchen, fridge or any facilities (neither internet). The "breakfast" (I wouldnt call it breakfast) is a ticket to eat an old croissant and a coffee at a bar in the corner - that's it!

Very friendly staff. And the location was great. Ive heard that its very dangerous around the station in Rome but actually there are many restaurants and cafes right next to the hostel and I could always feel totally safe.

Don't recommend. Not really a hostel. It is an apartment with many bedrooms and bunks. No kitchen, no common room, no internet.
