Excellent and helpful staff. Needs a real kitchen. Limiting food on premises to only what can be bought at the hostel is a huge mistake. Not many good restaurants in the immediate area. Pre-packaged breakfast served on a tray with no choice allowed is dreadful and way overpriced at Euro 8. Would only recommend this hostel if you need to be near the train station.

Good staff, bad sleep

The hostel itself was nice and the staff were really friendly. The rooftop bar is a nice addition and a good place to go in the evenings. The room was where I had my issues. The air conditioning didn’t appear to be working, and when I asked it turned out the air con doesn’t get switched on at all in the evenings until the end of May. Given the heat at this time of year, I thought this was ridiculous. This resulted in people in my room opening the windows, which meant I could hear every loud banging noise that people in vans and trucks were making in the street below (this would happen all night). The heat and the noise resulted in 3 pretty terrible sleeps. One small pillow was also not really enough comfort-wise.

This hostel was perfect for our family's needs. They let us book a whole room for ourselves since we had 6 people. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Would highly recommend for any travelers. Don't be fooled by the outside neighborhood. It was safe and we walked just fine to and from the metro and train station with our children.

Stated a one bedroom, but in fact paid $52 for a 8 bed dorm. This is a hostel not a hotel, in addition $10 gets u a croissant, coffee and fruit. Felt cheated and tricked. Bad karma as the owner is aware of the deception. Pay attention, don’t book here unless ur aware your paying to sleep in a large dorm and have no privacy! Will try to get refunded by Expedia

The location is great for walking to all the tourist areas and is right next to the train station, but I don't think this is a 4 star hotel as Google maps indicates. It is a very pricey hostel with shady surroundings. No amenities are provided and need to pay extra for even towels.

Staff were friendly and helpful.Location close to Termini and Ancient Sites was great. It was a shame that there was no access to the roof terrace between 10:00 and 18:00 and the bar was shut. Single room was adequate,bathroom good and bed comfortable.The lack of a fridge was a real shame. Probably wouldn’t go back.
