We needed to tack on an extra day at the end of our vacation in Rome and found Blue Hostel. It was quiet and clean and Ercole was accommodating and welcoming. He gave us helpful hints about the city and was full of good advice. We loved our light, airy room and wished we had time to stay longer than... More

I must admit we had high expectations of this property after all the good reviews. I booked last August and have been checking reviews since. We haven't been let down. Our room, with private bathroom is lovely. Tastefully decorated with tv, fridge, air con, wardrobe, desk, overlooking small courtyard. Ercole is a wonderful host. He has thought of everything. A...

We're currently travelling from London to South Africa - a 6 month journey that has seen us through France and Italy so far, staying in loads of different types of accommodation. Without a doubt, our stay at Ercole was like staying at a good friend's house. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcome and went out of... More

A friend and I stayed at Blue Hostel for a night before we left Rome via the Termini. I wish we had stayed longer because it really is a great value. We were able to snag a room with a private bathroom and as another reviewer said, it felt much more like a hotel than a hostel. We did not... More

We stayed at the Blue hostel for 3 nights, 5/5-5/8/2013. Marcello and Ercole make you feel right at home. The rooms are sparkling clean and very lovely & unique. The service is friendly and extremely helpful. The location could not be better; a few short blocks from the Roma Termini, Metro, and busses to take you all over Rome...Oh, and... More

I've been to Italy 3 times now and The Blue Hostel is the best place I've every stayed. The beds are comfortable, the showers are hot, the staff is so helpful, and it's in a good location close to the train station. If I am ever in Rome again, I will stay here!

Fantastic friendly service, rooms with character but with a modern twist. I have now stayed three times as best location and value for money. Can't recommend highly enough. Very easy to get too. Just take the bus to Termini. Walk through the station and it is literally five minutes away. At the top of the street is the Santa Maria... More

We stayed 4 nights in the Double Deluxe (?) room. Hostel was easy to find even with the Hostel's tiny sign. No elevator but stairs are no big deal for us.
