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!
United States of AmericaManager 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!
FranceCentral 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.
New ZealandLocation 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.
