    Nothing particular.

    It's centrally located, which is very convenient for us as we needed to leave for the airport early in the morning and they let us check out from 4am. Also, the check in is after 2pm but you can store your luggage at the reception at another property of theirs on the same street after 10am so that is handy. The room is spacious and clean. The cafe and restaurants are nearby and the supermarket of the decent size is about 5min walk from the guesthouse.

    The outdoor bar of the hostel next door was very noisy, even with the window and the shutters closed we could here it. Make sure you bring ear plugs.

    It's a small guesthouse and I had to share the room with only one other female guest. My flight was late, but they were kind enough to wait for me although the reception was normally closed. Complimentary coffee/tea.

    Accessing entrance was really difficult. When I arrived, nobody knew where it was as there are loads of hostels. As I didn't have an Italian sim card it was hard to contact the hosts too. Also one of the plug sockets didn't work, so I needed to use the one in the bathroom.

    The room was spacious and quiet. The hostel is an excellent location, close to the train station and around plenty of restaurants. The rooms and bathroom were very clean.

    Only one bathroom per one room including six people was not enough that I should have waited for 20 mins at least. The toilet seat was broken. The location was a bit far away from the center.

    The staff was very kind. The lockers were present in the room. The room was clean.

    despite us letting them know we'd be checking in at 20h on booking.com, no staff were around. we had to wait for almost 15 minutes for someone to show up and let us in.

    the rooms were comfortable and larger than we expected.

    I wish there was a kitchen to cook some things. Also i always pay the price shown on the app but this time we had to pay a tourist tax of 20 euros each which i thought it was included in the price because it said tax included.

    I like that they gave us a key so we can enter anytime. The location is also very good and one of the best locations to stay in rome. The room was clean enough and it can make solo travellers comfortable also.

    Maybe if there was a slighty bigger fridge in hallway and also an ironing board and iron . Also it was a little tricky to find because the sign was not huge .

    It’s in a very accessible area. I basically walked to everything from that location and only took the subway once while I was there . I must say that the staff member named Apsana was sooo lovely. Such a sweet person. They were also very accommodating of my request and Apsana would always ask if I was okay. I really did appreciate that. The room I stayed in looked out into the streets and though the bar downstairs is super noisy once you close the windows it is totally sound proof. The walls are a bit thin but tht was about it. I would definitely consider staying there again. Rooms were cleaned daily and on time always .

    Good price for location.

    There were a few cables coming out of the wall right next to by bed... it would be so easy and cheap to fix that, even taping it to the wall would be a solution. Plus there are very few connections in the room to charge your phone/computer, and none on my side of the room (where there were two beds). I had to call when I arrived because there was no one in the front desk, and it was before 10pm, which is the time they say the check-in closes. That is unfortunate because international calls cost a ton, and some people don't even have that possibility. Plus there was a tax that you pay when you arrive that could be better advertised when you reserve the room.

    Location was very good, but there is a very loud bar downstairs - bring noise cancelling headphones if you have them. Bed is overall comfy, and the room plus bathroom is cleaned everyday. Reception is also clean despite being super tiny, with a little fridge, microwave, and cattle for a quick tea or coffee, which was a nice detail. Super cheap price for a prime location, so if you don't plan to spend much time in the room (there is no place to work, read, etc other then your bed) this is a good deal.

    The room is above a bar and I was harassed by the local men when checking in to the hostel. The room is above a bar and very noisy during weekend nights even with the windows closed. The toilet seat was also broken and the beds didn’t have outlets as advertised so I charged my devices in the hostel hallway
