The family who owned the hostel were pretty nice. However, the beds were breaking/bowing in the middle, there was no air conditioning (Rome is HOT in the summer), there were no amenities such as a cooking area, common area, or computers. The street noise was incredibly loud as there is a bar patio underneath.
However, although a bit pricey it wasn't too bad for summer rates in the city. It was just a place to sleep - nothing more. more
