Rome Hostels

It was an extended weekend family trip, so this hotel was a good fit since it was not all that far away from some interesting things, and it was priced reasonably. The room was spacious, with a plain design making it a little ugly, but it was clean and well cared for. Our view was of the apartments in the opposite buildings, but we got our views elsewhere. The bathroom was OK even if the shower doors did not close properly. They cleaned the room daily and left fresh towels, even if we did not ask for. What was really bad was the soap/shampoo that they offered. Not that it smelled bad or anything but it reminded me of the soaps hotels had in the 80s The common are was almost always busy, but the people were respectful and friendly, and left the place clean. The wifi was fast, even when using VPN like I did. Breakfast was nice, with a lot of choices and interesting flavors. But the coffee was really bad. You do not expect that in Italy, but it was from an automatic machine that made different kind of coffees, so the result was bad. The people that worked there were always smiling, were friendly and eager to help, which is something that always helps when you are staying in a foreign country. The hotel is next to a police station and the immediate area felt safe, even at night. There are homeless people close by but they never bothered us. There is also a metro station within walking distance. All in all, we had a pleasant stay and it is a great choice for a brief family vacation

I stayed here for 3 nights with my friend. 10€ a night was a great deal. Met some fun people at the hostel and had a good time. Location was also convenient with grocery store and bus stop to most places near. My only complaints would be there is extra fee with city tax 10€ each we were not told about. Bathrooms have strange odour, and air conditioning was on all night when it's already quite cold. I ended up getting a cold from the air con. And also me and my friend were 2 women and we were put in 8 bedroom room with only men so was wary of safety, especially since one of the men tried to ask me to sleep with him in the middle of the night! But again the type of customer is not the hostels fault. If you want a cheap place to stay and don’t mind not living in luxury, come here for sure also a great way to meet new people in the city.

I only had a short stay here but I enjoyed my time. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. It was a quirky place, easy to navigate round and I found it useful to be able to use the lockers before and after my check in/out. I found the price to be more than reasonable and would definitely recommend.

I was very happy with this hostel it had a great vibe. The rooms where great I had a large bed with plenty of privacy. The party area downstairs was great for a solo traveller. If you are looking for a quiet place to stay this probably isn’t for you! The only negative thing was that the bathroom had mould in it!

Заселилась в этот отель по причине именения дат вылета из Испании.Пришлось останавливаться на 3 дня в этом отеле.Все хорошо.Хозяин очень дружелюбный.Все,кто здесь проживают приветливы!Бюджетный отель.Был одноместный номер.Не приятно было,что на Островке,через который я бронировала этот отель написан налог в размере 10,5€,а мне озвучили 18.Пишите правду!!!Рядом супермаркет с нормальными ценами.Посуды в номере нет,но когда попросила ложку,мне ее дали.С завтраков взяла в номер миску,никто ничего не сказал.Общего пользования СВЧ,электрочайник.Белье чистое.Напор в душе хороший.Туалетная бумага,шампунька и усе,больше ничего не дают.Но,за такие деньги нормально,при том,что завтрак включен.Кофе,чай,мюсли,молоко,круассаны.Вообщем,если не сидеть в номере,то вполне бюджетный вариант.Рекомендую.Сама не остановлюсь,по причине,что в одном месте не останавливаюсь.Всегда выбираю разные.

I have never been to a place where a hotel feels like home. This is one of the amazing benefits of staying in Ostello Bello. The staff, bartenders, and night shift felt like absolute family by the end and I truly will never stay anywhere else while in Rome. Fravio (hope I am spelling that right) made my trip with his kind and friendly demeanor. All of the bartenders made me feel at home and welcome at all times. Treating me more than fairly in every citrcumstance. The rooms were clean and nice, with working showers and good facilities. I truly have nothing negative to say about my visit.

I hope to make this review as positive as possible after my brief stay at this hostel (August 2024). The Alessandro Palace and Bar is beautiful when you enter. The reception desk and bar are decorated with statues, lights and velvety chairs. The staff at reception are friendly and very understanding. They are chatty and kind, and quick to help fix any problem or query. The bar is great. The decoration and events held in there are great fun. The drinks are a good price and there is a party every night, which makes sense, as it is a party hostel. The bedrooms are large, but the furniture is not what I anticipated. Compared to the glam downstairs, the hostel bunk beds are creaky, the lower bunk being so low I could not sit up straight. There are sockets next to the beds, but no lights. The only light is the main light. The chairs and tables provided appear secondhand (which is great - I approve of using secondhand items), but considering the contrast of the reception/bar area to the furniture in the rooms, I was quite surprised by the difference in quality. There are showers and toilets on each floor, all communal and separate from the rooms. I found the loos were clean and (mostly) always stocked. The showers were a different case. Whilst all the showers worked and were often available, there was 2 out of 4 showers that had nowhere to put your items whilst showering, except for the floor. In one of the showers, the ventilator cap had fallen off on to the shower floor. I also noticed that the water didn’t really get much hotter than lukewarm, which wasn’t an issue due to the heat outside, but if you want a warmer shower, it wasn’t feasible. You are also sharing 4 showers with 4 - 6 other rooms, which contain 6 people each (at most). That’s around 30 - 40 people for the 4 loos and showers. Understandably, this means quite a bit of grub and muck gets trodden into the showers. Whilst I imagine the showers are clean in the morning, I found that because other guests do not clean up after themselves, that the showers can become a bit grim by the end of the day. This is not on the staff, but moreso on other guests, but I do want to state that as a precaution to other future guests. Additionally, there was also quite a bit of black mould in these showers (mostly on the seals and ceiling), which I did not notice initially. The noise from the bar may disturb your sleep. My friend and I had earplugs, so we had no issues, but other members of our room were apparently woken up by the music and noise of other guests during the night. Again, it is a party hostel, so this is expected; however, I have stayed in other party hostels before and the sound proofing proved very effective, as I could not hear other guests. This was not the same at Alessandro, sadly. The only real issue I had was the air conditioning. Whilst the AC does work, it is not very strong. My friend and I did not notice the difference of outside/inside during the day. At night, it seemed t

This is the best option for hostel stay in Roma. I was in a 4-bed dorm room, and all beds had sliding doors for extra privacy. When not being used the beds could also be locked from outside. There was a storage drawer under the bed which was very spacious and could be locked using the same key as the bed. The ensuite bathroom was good, but the door didn't seem to close tightly enough, in my opinion, even though the lock worked fine. This was the only negative of my stay really, but the impact wasn't high as I had considerate room-mates. I used the kitchen quite a bit to heat food, and although I didn't participate in staff organised meals, these were a nice touch. The hostel had a secure entrance as well, which I appreciated. The location was really nice too - about a 15-minute walk away from the Roma Termini station. And in the walking distance there are several fantastic restaurants for every budget. I particularly enjoyed a nice Bangladeshi one that was only a 15 minute walk away from the hostel. There was also a huge supermarket about 5min away that I didn't need to use, but appreciated its proximity anyway. Had a great experience overall, and I would stay here again.

I love this place! Easy to find it from the main bus station. Nice people at the hostel. Just walking a few minutes to get the tram/ bus station.

The location is very central for all tourist sites, there is no need to take any means of transport, as well as the airport bus route passes 5 minutes walking from the hotel. The hotel is very comfortable and comfortable, especially with a staff who took care of the rounds when I was present.
