I would not recommend this place to anyone. We stayed at this place for 2 nights in May 2011 and unfortunately could not leave after the first night because we had to pay the full amount at check-in (we quickly knew why). The only positive is the location close to Termini. A first mild negative point are the stairs: rooms are on 4th floor with the elevator much too small and not working most of the time. A more negative point is the bathroom: the shower floods, and there is no hot water. Based on other reviews (also at other websites), there seems to be no hot water in this place for months (and it is not being fixed, contrary to what staff keeps saying). Although the website says there is free wireless internet, it has never worked during our stay either. Although one staff member was friendly, most other staff members were arrogant to say the least, did not care about their guest's comfort, made ill-placed jokes and even plainly lied to new guests about the amenities (as we witnessed at checkout). Given the above, the price for a room (about 100 euro/night for 3 people) is ridiculous; if you are with a group, you can get a budget hotel room for the same amount of money.
Additionally, the hostel has a lot of different names, such as Friendship Palace, Friendship Place, Beautiful Hotel, Beautiful Accommodation (as shown outside on a sign) etc. The different names are probably used for different websites on purpose, in order to reduce the chance that (negative) reviews are seen by potential guests. This confusion tactique is used by several hostels in the Termini area.
