This hostel is close to the Vatican which is good. We had to travel by train to get to other places which wasn't hard. The hostel is clean and convenient. The staff are super friendly and helpful and this is what makes it stand out from the other hostels.

Also very trustworthy and helpful staff. I left my mobile phone and they posted it to me very quickly and effectively. Overall a great experience. I recommend it to everyone = )

Location is great if you are targeting Vatican. If not, go to other hostel. Beds are very shaky and unstable. Furniture in the common room is litteraly falling apart! They really should consider investing in new furniture. They had problems with hot water. Common room serves as a kitchen, as a reception and as a gathering place and it is very small. They give you a personal key (with a deposit). I liked it as it gives you a sence of having your own apartment close to Vatican.
Internet is free only after 7pm. Staff was helpfull though.

We stayed three nights and at 25EUR per night it was the cheapest accommodation we could find in Rome. The room was bare but clean with lockers as the actual room door does not have a lock on it. The guys running the place are very friendly and helpful. The showers overfload. Internet is free. Very close to the Vatican.

This place was okay - the location was very good, although Rome is quite big, so you will have to take the Metro to get around.

First complaint about this place is that i emailed in advance to say we would arrive one day late, and we received confirmation from the office, but the office and hostel are in separate locations, and the information wasn't shared with the hostel, so when we did show up, they thought we were a no show and had given away our beds to other people! Luckily, I had an email confirming my change, so they were able to find us a bed. So we had to switch rooms in the middle of our four night stay, and we picked our beds out in the morning, but when we got back in the evening, our beds were taken by other guests. I was not impressed. The front desk staff had a very laid back, don't care attitude, to our problems, which was irritating. The mattresses were also badly worn and u-shaped, and i think they can afford new mattresses at $40/night per person with the number of people they have staying there.

Also, the showers were dirty and full all the time.

The only good thing about this place was the price was a lot lower than other places, and the location was good. Otherwise, i would try to find another hostel, or i would spend the extra for a hotel.
