I had a wonderful stay in Rome, and one of the highlights was the warm and professional welcome I received at the accommodation. Louisa at the front desk was exceptionally kind, attentive, and helpful from the moment I arrived. She made check-in smooth and always had a genuine smile, ready to assist with any request or question.
The rest of the staff were also very courteous and efficient, creating a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere throughout my stay. It’s clear that they take pride in providing excellent service. This level of hospitality made my time in Rome even more enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Great hostel with community vibe and chill terrace
Hostel with a great community feeling. It's super easy to meet people, and they organize group dinners where you can join the other guests. The cube-style bunk beds offer extra privacy and comfort, and each bed has a 230V plug. The place is clean. They have VDSL wifi (25 download, 5 upload), slower than fiber but good enough for video calls. Every room has a private shared bathroom. You can work with your laptop on the terrace. It is not ideal as a coworking space because you depend on the weather, but the terrace has a nice vibe with people relaxing.

I would stay here again.
My stay was great. The staff were friendly and helpful, there was a Metro station within easy walking distance, and some nights there would be a free dinner. I do strongly recommend a better beer selection, though.

Super friendly staff, they are interactive and welcoming. They have an evening dinner gathering everyday, which is quite nice. Clean rooms and toilet/showers, convenient kitchen space is also available. I found the temperature hard to adjust in my room, it was quite stuffy.

Achei ótimo e confortável. Apenas a limpeza dos banheiros, eu achei a desejar. Logo quando eu cheguei o cheiro estava forte, incomodando e durante a minha estadia de 4 dias, não foi lavado e o mal cheiro continuou.

Perfekt säkert och prisvärt hostel
Kom vid midnatt, inga problem eftersom receptionen är öppen 24h. Sov i 4 bäddsrum. Fantastiskt bra med egen sovkapsel som kan stängas till, även låsas, för egen privacy. Bra badrum på rummet. Säkert och tryggt. Bra område, nära till tunnelbanan och någon km till Termini. Många restauranger i närheten. Ta med handduk, eller hyr. Köp egen frukost, den som erbjuds är bara plastförpackad bröd. Affär finns i närheten.
Skulle absolut bo här igen.
