We had booked Chianti Hostel in Rome for Easter weekend. 2 days before travel we were told the hostel was closed due to "hydraulic problems" and would be shifted to Freestyle at the same rate.

Originally we booked Happy Days Hostel, but theysent us to this hostel as there was overbooking, or so they said. The place turned out to be a disaster.

The only reason we managed to stick it out was because we had already paid, and had met a nice Australian couple who was staying there. The place is falling apart (paint... More

Let me give you some background about myself. I have worked as a paramedic for over three years, and I have seen some pretty horrendous places. This hostel ranks among one of the worst. Calling this place a hellhole would be a compliment. For the first two days, there was no running water in the only bathroom. The electricity would... More

I stayed at this hostel with a friend, first of all we were met by a rude man who didn't care about us. The next is that there are not enough lockers per person. The beds all sqeak really badly and the matress could only be slept on one side as it had a indent which made it only able... More
