Doorms of this hostel are for 18 to 35 old travellers only. If you are older, you are being offered an over-prized private room (a ridiculous 125 euros). The reason is not given at the reception, and you are left wondering weather this is a hostel at all or some strange dungeon for bunga bunga and/or drug using purposes -... More

Only visited Rome for a few days while in Italy, but this was a pretty good choice. It's across the street from the train station so it made catching a very early train easy, and it's close walking distance to a lot of sites. The front desk was occasionally unpleasant to deal with depending on who was working and the... More

This hostel was easy to find, right opposite the Termini station and the Terravision bus station, so convenient for travelling on to other locations, although a little bit out of the way for getting to the tourist attractions, but not a ridiculous distance to walk and a reasonable Metro ride. The building itself wasn't the best, my room was on... More

I agree with the poster below - I accidentally booked for the wrong date (30 April instead of 30 June) when I booked on 24 April. Realised the mistake and emailed at 7am on 25 April asking to change booking. They put a hold on my debit card AND charged me in full for the room so charged me twice.... More

This Hostel has what may be the most ridiculous and unforgiving cancellation policy on the planet. We were charged the full rate of the room for cancelling our reservation a full 5 days in advance of our stay. I certainly can understand a 24 hour policy, but 5 days. What is worse their website does not indicate that this time... More

I stayed in one of the private rooms. The room was huge but no ac. The location is only good because it's close to the station but that's about it! Oh and up like 100 flights of stairs. Wouldn't stay again but doesn't mean I would recommend it to friends. More

Location is the best thing abt the hostel. If you are looking for a good night's sleep this is DEFINITELY not the place to be. Everything else is just OK. More

There is so much to do in Rome, one can't expect to stay all cooped in a hostel! My friend and I stayed at the Pop Inn for a couple of nights in the winter. Although there were no heaters, they provided many blankets or warmth. There were no working showers on our side of the building so we would... More

Booked PopInn with less than 12 hours notice late at night and made clear booking conditional on wifi included, as implied on website. Wifi was extra charge so withdrew booking immediately and stayed elsewhere. They still charged one night even though they could have used goodwill in the circumstances. Not a good ad for either price or customer service. Stay... More
