This is the hostel I love the most during my 3 weeks backpacking trip in Italy. I was there for five nights in total - four nights at the start of my trip in Italy, and one last night before I left Italy. What I love about this place? - This hostel was the cosiest, and warmest. It makes a... More

So the place is hard to find but once we got there we got greeted by the guy who ran it (American guy) he was SO much help. He sat us down and pointed out where everything was and where the must do's we're which was great! The room was perfect a big studio room with a good bathroom. We... More

I was there in Funny Palace for 2 days. Once entered a reception, I was bit disappointed with the ambience. Actually its laundry shop run by owner. We had to wait there until rooms are cleaned before check-in. But my impression has changed after seeing the actual room for stay. I had quiet nice stay overall. Staff is really great,... More

Got a great price and the photos looked good. We got a free upgrade from a room with shared bathroom to another with a private bathroom, without having to pay anything extra! The breakfast is included in the price in the café nearby, just ask for the slips of paper. (Café/cappuccino and a variety of croissants) Also make sure to... More

The lobby of the hostel was an internet cafe/laundromat. It seemed a little shady especially when they ask for all cash up front, but not to fear, the business is legit! We had a large group of 8 people, and the employees were really helpful with moving our bags up to our room and letting us check in early. Instead... More

BEWARE! BEDBUGS! We laughed out loud when we finally found the "office" to Funny Palace as it was in a shady looking laundry mat. I was willing to overlook this considering the 5star reviews I kept reading about. However the receptionist (if you could call him that) Johnny caught us off guard when he said they only accepted cash... although... More

Location is very near the train station, so the neighborhood isn't the nicest to walk in at night (I stepped around more than one pile of vomit), but great for getting to an early morning train. The room was shabby, but it seemed like they tried their best to keep them clean. To be honest, it was the vibe of... More

Hard to find & may feel a bit misleading, you arrive & check in in at a laundry mat, but hostel is amazing! Laundry mat is also where you can access internet, they have set of desks & computers. Also there's wifi access in rooms. They offer breakfast coupons for coffee or juice & croissant (or pastry of equal value)... More

I really enjoyed coming here. I didn't pay much and felt like I got my money's worth. The staff helped us organize an easy itinerary to see all of Rome within two days and the main train station is less than a 5 minute walk from the hostel. The directions will lead you to the internet cafe and from there... More
