We spent the first week of our honeymoon at the Blue Hostel before going to South of France & Paris. I can simply say that it was exhilarating! The place, the location, the room. You go by walking to the major destinations. Ercole is very helpful, the room was very clean, excellent internet connection. Simply the best. We just loved... More

This is a great place to stay in Rome. 100m from the Santa Maria Maggiore and only a short walk from the Termini which is the essential starting point for anyone new to Rome - trains, tours, taxis, banks, currency exchange are all available at the Termini. Hercules is the proprietor. He is a Roman and obviously loves his city.... More

The Blue Hostel is THE place to stay in Rome. My girlfriend spent some days there with her friends and she was amazed not only with hostel itself but also with the service quality. Ercole is a great person and will be surely your point of reference in Rome. He was not only nice with them, but also he made... More

I don't feel that I have much to add to the glowing comments by other travellers below. The location, the accommodation, the excellent value - and a host extraordinaire. This is definitely a home-away-from-home. Thank you to Ercole for helping to make our time in Roma such a memorable experience. More

It's long time I don't live in Rome anymore, but I happen to visit the city often...this time I stayed for several days at Blue hostel. Great value for money, perfect location in central Rome with homey and warm housekeeping by the owner Lello. Location is really central for visiting the classics of Rome. Rooms are furnitured with an artistic... More

My daughter & I stayed here for 4 nights in July 2011. Do not be put off by the name - it is not a hostel as we know in Australia - more like a 5 star hotel room. We were on 3rd floor & began struggling up the stairs with our bags when our host, Ercole, ran down to... More

The Blue Hostel is not a hostel. Ercole the host was fantastic and carried our luggage up to our room. He made sure we knew where in Rome we were, where places of note were, from tourist destinations to the best gelato and great eateries. It's in a great location and upon my return to Rome I will no doubt... More

The proximity of the Blue Hostel to the train station was our main reason for initially choosing the property. However, what sets the hostel apart is the host. He went above and beyond the call of duty during our stay and I cannot praise him enough. He met us at the train station and helped carry our bulky luggage to... More

I would HIGHLY recommend the Blue Hostel to anyone staying in Rome. It has an excellent central location. About a 15 walk to the Colosseum and 5 minutes from the Train station. We went last week (Mid-September) and it was quite warm outside, but the room had a good air conditioner and kept us comfortable. The host, Ercole, was beyond... More
