Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location - 5 minutes to Castel Sant'Angelo, Vatican, hop on hop off bus station, Tibera, ... Nice host, who arranged much cheaper taxi back to the airport, than what we paid when we arrived. Very well equiped apartment, including necessary groceries in the kitchen, like olive oil, vinegar, salt, coffee, tea ... Plenty of restaurants around the area, market around the corner, pastry shop / pizza place just across the street. You feel very safe in this neighborhood.

    Really very good budget option for single female travellers as this is female-only hostel rooms There are some double-rooms, but in general, this place feels very safe and beds are surprisingly comfy, not the type you expect from the hostel they have storage rooms (you need lock) and now introduced late night reception, which is AMAZING Also, don't forget common small kitchen facility on 5th floor and terrace on 6th floor Also, i saw they agreed to refund a guy who made a reservation there by mistake - which was very nice of them
