I've traveled several places in Europe and stayed in countless hostels and this, by far, is my favorite. Good beds, fun bar connected to the hostel, and the front desk people can't be beat! You can't beat the 2 euro peroni nights!

Stayed here on a solo trip to Rome. This is a good place to start your visit, central location. It was clean, comfortable and had a restaurant/ bar downstairs. I liked it here but was not overly impressed. It was a comfortable place to stay but I wonder if there were friendlier places where it might have been easier to meet other people. The reception area was a bit cold and unfriendly and unless I missed it, I don't think there was much of a common area to hang out and meet others.

The hostel was highly rated by reviewers thanks to it's "thriving" bar, but the bar was kind of dead most of the time and it's not the key factor that should make you choose this hostel. Price was good, although some mistakes of the receptionists during the check-in process almost made us pay extra 22 euros for no reason. The shower, at least in our room (6 bed mixed with private bathroom) was extremely small with no place to hang out clothes or put them. One day we also had no hot water.

Pros : 5 min walk from Termni Station, Rooms and Toilets clean, helpful staff, free iPad rentals, felt safe & secure, bar onsite so it easy tor meet other backpackers. Good bed price - 17.50 per-night (euro). Most importantly : Good Vibe!!

Cons : One plug in 6 bed dorm, didn't seem to be many bars/much happening in the local area.

Overall : I was very happy. great central location for sightseeing, I will definitely return.

Rome is awesome!
