Comfortable sleep

Super cute lounge and patio area. Love that they offered family style meals for purchase each night. Staff was helpful. AC for use at night in room was amazing during 90 degree weather! Beds comfy and room clean. Did see a few ants and bathroom really small which wasn’t ideal. A little far From major attractions but public transport close and desk will get you a taxi if you ask .

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!

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!!!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
On my first night, it seems that the room I was assigned had bedbugs or a similar issue, I woke up with bites on my lips and cheeks ( they were swallowed and red) I went to the reception kind of freaked out and uncomfortable but I was told I needed to wait until the next shift and the manager was available. I tried to stay calm but his response was shocking and he basically told me to go out and come back later. Later that morning when the next shift started the other guy told me I need to check out by 11am (and leave my suitcases on the reception) but that the next room/bed would be available by 3pm so I was left without a place to stay or rest for a few hours. Additionally, when I came back a little later than 3pm the manager that provided me with the room he treated me like a made that out (even though I showed them pictures and the first receptionist saw the redness) and that they didnt found anything wrong in the room as if Bedbugs were noticeable. Well, that leads me to think they don’t clean those mattresses properly.
