The hostel is clean, very friendly staff and very close to public transportation. They host free dinners for guests and it’s a nice opportunity to get to know people and mingle. They have a towel rental service for €3 and laundry service on site for a fee. Only complaint is the pod doors/storage drawers can be loud and guests should try to be more mindful when opening/closing those. Overall really enjoyable stay!!! Would recommend!

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 for its location!!! The staff were awesome too. It was my only hostel experience in Rome so I’m not sure of the standards but the space was just ok. No elevator, tons of stairs, mattress was paper thin :( also there was no plug in in the bed/nest area? All these issues were pretty minor and didn’t hurt my stay at all, except for contributing to my jet lag exhaustion lol. The biggest surprise: the shower & water pressure are INCREDIBLE!!!

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.
