“Nice Stay before you fly from FCO”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2011

My son and I spent 2 nights at Litus. We arrived from Termini and found the bus drivers at the Lido Centro WAY less than helpful--- I speak a tiny bit of Italian, lots of German and English--- They defiantly said they only speak "Roman"--whatever-- y'all lost your empire 1800 years ago.

We took a cab (he stole 3 euro from us) and arrived at the Hostel--- a dreary building, but clean with a wonderful English speaking staff.

the beach is very dirty and very few people speak English--- but after a few hours of culture shock we settled in to our Lido home. We learned the transportation, brushed up on our "polite" Italian and had a wonderful evening along the promenade and the town square--- the amusement park was great and the food wonderful and not too expensive.

We went into the city the next day-- no problem--- 40 minutes to all the sights.


The good--- SUPER clean-- English Speaking-- good breakfast and only 30 minutes and a bit over a euro to the airport on the bus
The bad--- very little English outside of the hostel--- Cab drivers will STEAL from you-- a bit of a hike from the city.
Overall--- if you are flying from FCO this place is the best!

“Way too far from the main attractions in Rome”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 July 2009

This hostel is ok. It is clean, and the morning staff are ok.
There is this african guy (night shift) who is very rude. He did not want to help me, he said he was working all day and that he was tired, he screamed at me. VERY RUDE! The other two ladies were rude too. Be careful, don't stay there. It is so far from Rome ( main attractions) It will take you about 1:15 minutes to get there from Central Train Station in Rome. It is right next to the beach, and that beach is dirty. It's ghetto.

“hostel in rome”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2007

Large, clean hostel. Too far out of Rome, a bus and a train ride to the city, with one line change as well. SEveral attendants on desk could not speak english which made it hard to communicate. Breakfast room locked out of hours, so impossible to even make a cup of tea. Quiet and good price. Good views from windows, and large rooms, but distance was too big a problem.

“Excellent hostel on the Sea in Rome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2007
2
people found this review helpful

Litus Roma Hostel is truly the best hostel I've ever stayed in. Newly renovated, it's spotlessly clean and includes daily maid service. Rooms have views of the sea. It's a very comfortable place with a fun and friendly staff. Free internet and breakfast included. An easy train ride into central Rome makes it possible to visit sights all day and get back to watch the sunset on the Mediterranean and relax!

  • Liked — cleanliness spaciousness friendly atmosphere
  • Disliked — like most of Rome immediate surrounding neighborhood has lots of grafitti
  • Tips/Secrets — if taking bus to hostel from Lido di Ostia train station...exit at 5th stop go to left as you exit bus and turn left at the very first street...it's at the end of the block
