Location was amazing - we were able to walk from Termini directly to the hostel in about 10 mins. There are metro stations surrounding the location too, so you are able to get around the city very easily. The staff was amazingly helpful and had some AMAZING recommendations for food in the area. I loved how it was in a converted convent! We had a lovely time and are counting down the days to when we can come back.

Overall it was a great hotel. Good location, good bed, exceptionally clean, good water pressure, and an air conditioner.

Very clean with good staff. Very reasonably priced in comparison with the big hotels in Rome. Only note is that there is no elevator and we had a lot of baggage that the manager had to carry up the stairs for us but he did so and was very accommodating.....

Very nice location with personal flair, you feel like a roman resident. Andrea and his fellow are very friendly and helpful by recomending restaurants and every other support you need. Very smooth Check-Out, you can leave your luggage and pick it up whenever you want.

Very comfortable room and friendly staff. If you need to stay near the station it's perfect, with the added bonus that the astounding St Maria Maggiore is just minutes away.

Despite only being a 5 minute walk from Rome Termini it didn’t feel like you were amongst the hustle and bustle of the station. The room was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Nice pillows and toiletries. The staff were also lovely and very helpful.

All the amenities the room it self, the decorations, the friendliness of the staff, and most of all the location close of the terminal station beautiful churches and plenty of other archaeological sites.

The very old building was built over an amazing man basement. During more than two centuries it was used as a convent. The original timber are more than 200 years old. Today the building is protected by the city council for his historical importance.

I love to introduce the city to my guests. I take hospitality very seriously and I do my best to make my guest's holiday memorable.

Located in between the Esquiline and the Monti neighborhood, Bluehostel location is perfect for shopping, exploring and for a relaxing walk in the old little streets of the neighborhood. Monti is one of the loveliest areas in Rome for drinks, dinner and shopping.

Had a little trouble figuring out which hallway led to the hostel. May have been our fault. But dragging the suitcase up all those stairs was a killer. Prepare for a day’s worth of exercise with those stairs, or hopefully you travel light
Very close to the train station. Very quiet, airy and comfortable. Great rest after a tiring day of walking around Rome.

It's getting a bit expensive, but I suppose it is because of an increase in demand.
The Blue Hostel is situated close to Roma Termini train station and within walking distance of most attractions. It is clean and comfortable and the coffee machine and good coffee is a bonus. The owners and other staff are friendly and very helpful. I can recommend this hotel.

Very clean! Old building but well maintained. Had a great night and slept very well as the bed was so comfortable. Like the room so much and really wish I could stay one more night. Quite close to a metro station which is one station away from Rome Termini. Staff very friendly, warm-hearted, reliable and easy to reach through bookings phone call and iMessage. Steps only and on lift but okay for people without too heavy luggage, also with disabled accessible devices. Preferably to stay at Blue Hostel again the next time we visit Rome.

“Would stay again!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 2 nights
When we arrived it wasn't very clear where we had to go as there are lot of other apartments in the building so perhaps need to put a sign up or write on booking.com that need to turn right up first stairs and what floor the hostel is on. I accidentally made make up mark on the bed cover, tried my best to clean it off of course (would come off in wash) but then when we collected our bags and the room had been made up for next person (assumption) the bed cover was the same as we had as the make up mark was still there so assuming this wasn't changed for next guests. Only assuming it had been made up for next guests as a new map was on the bed which wasn't there the other mornings when we had been out for the day.
Location brilliant. Andrea was brilliant and very helpful, we did whats app him and he replied very quickly when we needed advice. Loved the original ceiling and shutters on window. Map was helpful. Bathroom very clean, good amount of pillows! Very quiet. Glass water bottles in fridge which was very nice touch and free as the tap water is good to drink. Partner loved the coffee machine in the room.
