Stay far away from this hostel! The first night I stayed there, they put me in room 24, and it was soon apparent that this room was absolutely infested with bed bugs. They were crawling all over the sheets and all over the walls. You could see bloody smears on the walls where previous room occupants had smashed the bugs.... More

I have just checked out and wish it wasn't over. I didn't expect cleanliness or amazing service so I suppose I'm a lot less disgruntled by most reviews here. Location excellent when you rock up at Termini last thing on a Friday in Summer! Had no issue with having to confirm the booking either. I guess manners and a basic... More

Bottom line: this place is infested with bed bugs. Longer story: I stayed at this hostel for 2 nights before flying out of rome. after two weeks of traveling i didn't have much money left and opted for cheap and convenient instead of looking for a nicer place. now i'm itchy (with about 400 bed bug bites), sleep deprived, and...

Me and my girlfriend booked a double room with private bath and air-con for two nights for the price 100 Euro per night. When we arrived we were asked to pay for the two nights in advance. We asked to see the room first and were told that our room is not ready yet (we arrived quite early, so that... More

For the price, expensive as all hostels in Rome seem to be, I expect a basic level of comfort, even from a hostel. I don't expect much but the following are a list of major problems with this hostel: 1.) Bed Bugs: Yes, you heard me right, this hostel has bed bugs. I saw at least three and am now... More

Stayed in a dorm there for 3 days. Nothing to complain about, the staff was very nicce to us, the location is great and the rooms were clean. Met fun people over there and enjoyed the discounts at the bar next door. More

i would certainly not recommend to stay here, the bathroom was very dirty, mould on the walls, dirty shower and stank like sewer. Moreover, the owner was quite annoying (and clearly only interested in your money). He also recommend a bar next door to have dinner (which is not too bad though), but apparently owns this place too. The rooms... More

We had the unfortunate experience of spending 4 nights at this hostel. The guy on the desk was rude, abruptly informed us cash only, made me stand there with a pack on while my husband walked to the nearest ATM. Most expensive private room we have had in Europe which is ok in the heart of Rome, but when the... More
