Do not stay here! From dirty linen, dirty bathrooms, horrible staff particularly the owner, dirty rooms bed bugs and broken equipment. Noisy, loud and disgusting. Don't do it. There are better places to stay for the same price! More

With the price, you can't expect for something better. We first arrived at Via Gaeta street then the guy lead us to another building which is very old. It's very complex to find the street but after 3 days staying there, we got used to the way. Room was 5 out of 10, dirty and dismal, bit if you need... More

Well firstly, upon our arrival they had the convenient "credit card machine out of order" sign up, which was a bit of an inconvenience but nothing terrible as I hear much of Rome isn't big on credit/debit cards (something about exorbitant fees) anyhow. The Hostel was conveniently located up 3 flights of stairs (no elevator for hostel guests anyways). The... More

I went with Vanessa from Memphis who has also posted a review. We were on a school trip with a large group. There were bed bugs in their room, crawling all over their beds, clothing, and walls. The manager had the gall to swear at her and blame us for the bedbugs, saying that we had brought them there. He... More

I am a seasoned European traveler, and I've never had this awful an experience. This is absolutely a terrible place to stay. It's in an excellent location, right off the Termini Station, but there's little else going for it. Bed bugs, fleas, mosquitoes, etc. We complained extensively, and they did nothing until we demanded a refund, and then all of... More

First it's hard to find, you find the building but the sign is very small. Second the receptionist was ok. We got a double room at the back of reception. Upon entering the room was filthy. You could see the dirt on the ground. The safe behind the door doesn't even open. The bedspread looks as though it's never been... More

I liked this place. Most of the staff were nice. Although I dont like being told that you cant be around your room between 10:00 and 2:00, i think they should relax that a bit. There is free pasta and wine, every night, which I cant really complain about. More

I would not recommend this place to anyone!!! -trying to find the place is extremely difficult, although the location is good, there is no sign anywhere on the building saying what it is, we had to ask another hotel where it was! -when we arrived we were told the credit card machine was 'broken' and we would have to pay...

Very close to Termini Station, a very good location and very well connected with the rest of the city!! The place is not that clean and comfortable, but it was ok to spend to spend the night on a budget. More
