We stayed just one night at this hostel (thank god) because the original hotel we booked had problems with the bathroom and they sent us to this hostel. The place is located on the second floor of an old building and there’s no elevator. The people of the reception were not nice at all and they payed little attention to... More

The most important thing to point to about this hostel is that it has BED BUGS! When we spoke to the staff about it, they said that they knew about the bed bugs, because they've had infestations before. Despite claims that the hostel has taken many steps to eradicate the pests, it seems that these have all failed, because my... More

We booked a double room with own bathroom for 100 Euros/night. The mattress was of very poor quality: we could feel the metal underneath the minute we lay down! The bathroom stank of humidity and mould and although the facilities were designer-style they were not very clean and looked pretty run down. The water pressure in the shower was so... More

I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Rome. Although the location is great (just a stone’s throw from termini station) the best thing about M & J Hostel are the staff. They are so welcoming and genuinely helpful and friendly - they really made us feel at home and provided us with so many tips and ideas to... More

This is probably the worst experience I have had in Rome. I travel a lot and I will not recommend this hostel to anyone. There were bugs in the bed, the electrical plugs were scary and the room price form at the back of the door indicated a price much lower than we were charged. You have to pay with... More

The manager is very helpful with customers. He helped us search and book the hostels in the next part of our trip. You can get to anywhere in the city by Rome termini station which is only 5 minute walk away. Try the 3 euro breakfast to save money. More

We had an awful time in this hostel. We found BEDBUGS in our bed in the morning. We've shown the bedbug to the manager who was unwilling to help. He said that he never had this problem and suggested it was our fault. After returning home, we saw plenty of Tripadvisor reviews on the hostel stating they had the same... More

I did not plan to go Rome, i made this decision at the last min. I chose M&J coz it is close to the Rome termini and it is actually very central. You can visit many places in Rome starting from here, especially for bus, Metro and train. I love it. Very convenient. Room is worth to your money but... More
