Hostel Positano is in a good location very close to the train station. We walked everywhere and never took the train. We were able to walk to all the main attractions including collesium, vatican, forum, etc. There are many restaurants and bars around the hotel which is very convienient. The hotel staff isn't the friendliest but were helpful. I had read about guest getting bed bugs and i was very worried about that but I never experienced any bugs. I had paid for a private room with a shared bathroom and the bathroom was very dirty. I don't know why but there were girls staying there that threw away their dirty underwear in the bathroom trash without even trying to hide them. STRANGE! Can somebody explain this to me? For the price of the hotel in the city it is in I think this place is a good value. I would return and I would recommend for my friends. Families should go elsewhere.....

The location was very good, just around the corner from the train station. Close to a supermarket and a metro. But these are the only good things about it.

The hostel was dirty and had graffiti and swear words and beer bottle stickers on all the walls. There was hair on the floor, the toilets stank and neither of them had toilet seats. We did not even try and have a shower. The door jam in our dorm room was damaged, it was clear that the door had been forced open/kicked in at some point and the wood was never fixed, just a new piece of metal put there. We were a mixed group of three and none of us felt safe leaving our bags there. Our concerns for saftey issues were ignored by the three members of staff we spoke to and also the manager when we finally found him.

After a sleepless night with drunken roommates having a fight in our room at 3am we could not face another minute there - so lost our money on the second one booked (they have you pay before they show you the room!) then when we asked for the money back they refused saying that basically it was a cheap place and that you get what you pay for! Shocking that they expect people to pay to stay in rooms that are like a cell. The manager says he has never had a complaint, but judging from these reviews, that was a lie.

Lesson learned, never book a hostel that you do not do research about before! We ended up going to the M & J hostel next to the Lounge Bar, just around the corner and it was total bliss in comparison.

While staying here we got bedbug bites and a girl down the hall also did and we found the bugs on the mattress. The internet was only in the very small lobby and they shut it off a 2 am which would be find except for the time difference, I had to work around to get in contact with my family. When I checked in and paid they did not have enough change and simply said we owe you a few cent, just very unprofessional. Atleast the front desk the rest of the workers were friendly. Overall it was not worth saving a few bucks to stay here

Great place, easy to find, close to Termini, the main station with metro/buses. Our room was clean, bed linen and towels changed daily. Ensuite bathroom was surprisingly big and even had a bidet; fancy. Room had a safe in it and also a fairly big wardrobe and two mirrors. No breakfast - just a vending machine downstairs.
Staff were friendly and helpful. No curfew. Air con worked and was not noisy. Would def stay there again if on a budget trip to Rome and would recommend to friends. Elevator is prob the only offputting thing about it.. we stayed on the fourth floor and even after walking around in the heat all day, we preferred to take all those steps than risk the elevator!!
