Review:
This place had such a great atmoshpere !! It was the most social
hostel that I stayed at on my journey. The rooms were clean, bunks were
comfortable, and every bunk had it's own locker under the beds. The hostel
offered great tours and nightlife scenes which most people did. I recommend the
Vatican tour or else you'll get lost and see a whole lot without knowing what
you saw. The only knock I had on this hostel was the shower facilities, small
and awkward especially when in a mixed dorm.

Review:
This is by far the best hostel I have ever stayed in. Very clean
rooms, good showers, clean kitchen and free breakfast ("help-yourself", with
good coffee, cereals, milk, oj, snacks!). Ok location (about 4 blocks from the
train station - not the best neighborhood ever but there was enough police
around and, well, you have the advantage of being close to the train station if
you want to travel around!). Free linen, towels, alarm clock. Super helpful and
friendly staff (hot and flirty too!), fun people to hang out with, very good
social space (hang-out room, kitchen and TV room with DVDs with english
subtitles). Did I mention the FREE Internet? You gotta stay at the Yellow
Hostel if you go to Rome. You know what they say, "All roads lead to Rome" -
I'd say all roads in Rome lead to the Yellow Hostel!

Review:
I
stayed in this hostel in the beginning of June 2003 and
really enjoyed it. The location is a quick walk from the
train station. The staff is extremely friendly. There is
a kitchen which is really useful and a grocery store
right next door, so at nght it often makes for a big
pasta cooking party! Internet is free (!!) and they play
movies at night! Really the atmosphere is wonderful and
the only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because it
isn't the nicest (esthetically speaking) and also
because the floor bathroom was through my dorm which
makes it very noisy, but any other room is just fine. |

I
really loved the atmosphere of this hostel, probably the
friendliest staff I encountered on my whole trip. The
downside was the showers (really small, water splashes
everywhere)and the rooms weren't the greatest - but who
stays in the rooms when you're in Rome?! |

Review:
Located about 4 blocks from Termini, a very social
hostel that I really enjoyed. The kitchen is definitely
a plus, with the inexpensive market around the block.
Internet is free, which of course means a bit of a wait
and people that really don't respect the 20 minute time
limit while others are waiting. Staff is great. The
bathrooms are clean after they are cleaned, but the
guests make them dirty pretty quickly, so at night they
can get pretty bad. The showers are tiny and leave no
place to hang your stuff. Lockers are pretty much first
come-first served and aren't the greatest, but they do
the job. Go on the pub crawl the first night of your
stay and you'll meet everyone there, many of whom you'll
end up hanging out with later. |

Review:
The
hostel was fairly easy to find and had a great English
speaking staff. Rooms were clean, showers were VERY
COLD, but the lounge and free internet kind of made up
for it. Kitchen was nice fully stocked with a grocery
store down the street we saved a lot of money by cooking
in. |

Review:
The
hostel was split across a few floors of a building near
the train station. Easy to find. The communal areas are
on a different floor to the dorms. Dorms bed linen were
clean. Dorms had a large fan in them which was very
useful as it got very hot. Very low security, no locks
on dorm doors, while I was there the lock on the door to
the hostel was broken and there were insufficient
lockers and they weren't allocated, it was first come,
first served. The showers flexuated in temperature but
when they were hot they were wonderful. The cubicles
opened out into the corridor which restricted privacy
especially as the hostel was mixed sex. The kitchen was
very well equipped and even had a microwave. The
internet was free and there were four terminals but
there was always a queue. |
