    Only that I would not walk around the area nearby alone at night as there is a lot of homeless males. I think a towel should be included in the price. The lift is under repair so bringing my heavy suitcase up 6 flights of stairs was challenging. The room also got quiet hot.

    A lovely vibrant hostel, with comfortable beds and facilities. Very convenient as it is near the train station. I grabbed a drink in the downstairs bar and it was really nice as I would be probably feel odd in a bar elsewhere but at least I was in my own hostel and had the atmosphere of other solo travellers.

    A little bare-bones, would be nice to have at least shower cream.

    Large and spacious and clean for a 4 bed dorm!

    The elevator can be a little hard to find. Maybe it was just us... Having to pay to use lockers to store luggage...

    Nice spacious clean rooms. Not far from Termini station. Cheap lockers available.

    The area doesn’t seem the safest and it’s quite dirty, but the hostel itself is really clean and nice.

    Really great rooms, a lot of space, private bathroom and toilets in the room. Located near the central station.

    It is quite an expensive hostel- so the little things like towels, laundry etc cost more than usual.

    The rooms were a great size, loads of storage space and two bathrooms per 6 bed dorm. Facilities were good too.

    For the amount of money I paid a towel and bath mat should be included. The room lighting wasn’t great . The first night the temperature of the shower was a disaster and even when the maintenance man came it was still only lukewarm. I complained to reception the morning after and the woman got it fixed and I enjoyed a hot shower everyday after that. The shower cubicle is small but the bathroom is large. The lighting in the bathroom is barely adequate for applying makeup. No kitchen so you have to spend a lot of money on food.

    The mattress was excellent. The room was spacious. The lobby area was pleasant. The room temperature was good .

    No police surveilling the area, poor street lights, junkies hanging out in the nearby park/ stations. After sunset, just head straight to hostel.

    Comfortable beds, clean, spacious rooms with big bathrooms. Hostel very close to Termini station. In close proximity to Metro & Tram stations.

    The neighbourhood is not the nicesest, the rooms are not soundproof at all, the shower is very tiny, the room is small in general, pretty bad shower pressure!

    The closeness to Termini, nice pillows and blanket, fresh shot towel and the Staff was very nice!

    Towel rental was ridiculous. Paris generator allowed you to exchange towels for free after rental for fresh ones. This place made u pay for each fresh towel which is more than the towel cost Also the smoking section was hidden and not explained at all. From floor 2 the door says Staff only. On floor 1 it says smoking area/laundry. The staff watched me smoke outside on the street for the first night without ever mentioning they had a private area with chairs. This upset me when I found the area by mistake but once I found it it was very relaxing. This needs to be posted properly

    Location was great. Rooms were quiet

    The main elevator is under reparation, and the service elevator was broken for the first few days of my stay, and I was staying on the 6th floor… so that was sometimes tough but it was repaired halfway through my stay.

    Very easy to get to from Termini - the station you arrive at if taking the train in from Rome airport (about a 10 min walk). There’s someone at the front desk 24/7 which is practical. There’s a “day bar” for coffees and in the evening another bar for cocktails (and I think they serve food but I didn’t try). The nearest metro is Piazzo Vittorio Emanuele and is very convenient, though I mostly walked. The Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore is just a 10 min walk, the Colosseum about a 20-min walk, Trevi Fountain about 30, and Pantheon just a few minutes further. You can also walk to other major sites so really for the price, it’s a great place. I shared a room with 3 other woman, and it was nice to meet other people throughout the stay. The rooms are cute for a hostel, and each bed has its own large case in which you can store your belongings and padlock it (either bring your own or you can buy one on-site). You can also do laundry (purchase tokens and detergent at reception). Overall very happy with my stay.
