The owners were amazing, super kind. The room was big, clean and comfortable

Leopoldina Italy

The best part about this accommodation is without-a-doubt the hosts. They were so kind and accommodating, provided us with excellent recommendations for food, helped us set up a really fun tour, and let us check out later after a wild night. They told us the building was 300 years old and used to be a convent, and told us how they kept the original ceilings. The little bit of history gave us such an appreciation for the place! They also made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay and it was such a wonderful experience, thanks to them.

Taralyne United States of America

Beautiful room and very welcoming host. We were able to check-in late. He gave us a map of Rome with local tips for restaurants/bar. The hotel is 15mins away from the coliseum.

Hélène France

Bluehostel was a great choice for me for two nights in Rome (during pandemic). Easy to find, near but not too near to the train station, nice room at a fair price, clean, private bathroom, working window on the third floor. Ercole the host was welcoming and helpful. I followed his recommendations on the city map he provided and saw the nearby Colosseum and Forum, walked all the way to Vatican City along the Tiber River. Perfect stay. Feeling lucky!

Marialyce United States of America

Manager and staff extremely kind, helpful, welcoming and responsive. Very pretty room (just like in photos on this site) with charm and on quiet inner courtyard. We were very happy and extended our stay a couple more nights! Also, great coffee in the room!

Aimée France

Central location for one nights stay. Easy walk from the train station. Room ready early. Good communication from owner prior to checking in. Clean, quiet and comfortable.

Ariane France

The introduction from Andreas was excellent - recommendations on where to eat/visit plus history of the building. All added to the welcome and our enjoyment of the visit.
