In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Friendly, attentive staff — The team earns consistent praise for being welcoming, sociable and happy to help with directions and requests.
  • Location for transport and errands — A 5-minute walk from Bologna metro, on the train line, and next to a supermarket and ATM, it makes the rest of Rome easy to reach.
  • Strong value for money — With dorm beds from £18 and a value score of 9.2, it fits a tight travel budget without cutting corners on the basics.
  • Clean, comfortable rooms — Rooms are rated 9.3 and reviews highlight tidy spaces, modern bathrooms and beds that support a good night's sleep.

Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Late check-in cut-off at 23:30 — If your flight or train arrives after midnight, you'll need to plan for a place to stay elsewhere for the first night.
  • Early checkout by 10:00 — The checkout window runs from 07:00 to 10:00, so it's not a place for lie-ins on departure day.
  • Free Wi-Fi is limited to public areas — The amenity list specifies Wi-Fi in public areas, so don't count on a connection inside a dorm.
  • Most beds are in mixed dorms — The two shared options are both mixed, and the single private option is a twin room with one double and two single beds.
  • No pets allowed — The policy is a straightforward 'not allowed'.

“Free internet and access to computers kept us connected, and the kitchen and fridge were handy for self-catering. We were pleasantly surprised by how clean and modern the dorm bathroom was. The 5-minute walk to the train station made trips around the city easy, and being next to a supermarket and decent restaurants helped a lot. I would recommend this hostel to anyone on a budget.”
