I stayed in a large room with six beds. It was clean and colorful, got clean sheets and my bed was comfortable. There were lockers to put things in but everybody needs to have their own locks. Met some really nice people, the staff of the hostel was polite and helpful. Bathrooms could be better but can't really complain. Location... More

I stayed here for one night in April 2013 with my boyfriend and we selected a 8 person mixed dorm room for the price. I chose this place because I was pleased to see its connection with Hostelling International--whose partner hostels I've had good experiences with in the past. We arrived late without a problem and the check-in staff was... More

Staff were unhelpful, room was tacky, location was poor (although close to Termini station and they did supply maps), not the nicest area to be in at night and the layout of the hostel was very confusing.. Will not be returning again,

Good hostel, with excellent location (near Termini station). The staffs are friendly and helpful. They have a free pizza at 8pm every day (except Sunday), where you can meet other travellers and have a good chat. I had a great time here.

The hostel building is very near the Termini and is actually not hard to find (though we kinda did). The reception is not on the first floor, so expect to climb the rather narrow stairs or squeeze into the lift big enough for regretably two. The reception staffs were very approachable to remind you of breakfast times, and to give... More

After a long day of a traveling, we were stuck in Rome for a night and picked this hostel. They lost our reservation we made earlier that day, and spent 30 minutes looking for it when they still had our room available. Once we got into our room, we were ready to sleep but the room was freezing. The windows... More

I stayed 2 nights at Alessandro Downtown. They are an HI Hostel but membership doesn't seem to mean anything. The hostel is very easy access from Termini. The building is old so on first glance it looks a bit rundown BUT it is actually very clean. They are working on renovations so it will soon look brighter. I was in... More

This place has potential and clearly is being renovated. Location is spectacular. Our first private room (301) has a bathroom design flaw that allows the shower to leak (flood!) the bedroom. Staff not responsive. This forced us to use the community shower and not even a partial refund for the mess (our luggage and contents got soaked - the dryer... More

The hostel has 2 living rooms, however they both close at midnight and even if they were full of people the hostel would sent away everyone. If you stay in the 8 bed dorm, the staff will come up every morning and wake you up just to ask you if anyone from the room is checking out. Also some of... More

I've reached the hostel walking around Termini zone and was a gem: executive and friendly staff. Clean room, bathroom and kitchen. They offer several activities but I had planned other stuff to do so i didn't try, but people staying there said they were supercool, specially a pizza night. Would definitely recommend it.
