YellowSquare Rome, hotel in Rome

Just a 10-minute walk from Termini Train and Metro Station, YellowSquare Rome features a gourmet restaurant, a shared patio, and DJ entertainment every night.

The staff and volunteers were always friendly and super fun and it was a great atmosphere. The room was incredibly spacious which you don't get very often so that was a big plus. We had a en suite bathroom (see what I didn't like but they did provide free tampons) as well as nice shower in the room which was great. You get a key card for everything which is also great. The vibe in the hostel is great and their Yellow Bar has great drinks and you get a discount when you stay with them. They also offer different event nights which is fun and great to meet other people! I found the location to be quite ok, not the closest to everything but I enjoyed it and it's definitely close to Roma Termini and many smaller restaurants and a grocery store is around the corner.

    Great location - 5 minutes to Castel Sant'Angelo, Vatican, hop on hop off bus station, Tibera, ... Nice host, who arranged much cheaper taxi back to the airport, than what we paid when we arrived. Very well equiped apartment, including necessary groceries in the kitchen, like olive oil, vinegar, salt, coffee, tea ... Plenty of restaurants around the area, market around the corner, pastry shop / pizza place just across the street. You feel very safe in this neighborhood.

    Really very good budget option for single female travellers as this is female-only hostel rooms There are some double-rooms, but in general, this place feels very safe and beds are surprisingly comfy, not the type you expect from the hostel they have storage rooms (you need lock) and now introduced late night reception, which is AMAZING Also, don't forget common small kitchen facility on 5th floor and terrace on 6th floor Also, i saw they agreed to refund a guy who made a reservation there by mistake - which was very nice of them
