Good hostel, Nice to meet people and helpful staf

Great vibe, good places to meet new people, great place to work on your own and to relax. Staff was awesome. Paolo and the Argentine guy were very very friendly and helpful.

I did not like that the bunk beds are made of steel and aluminium and are too noisy. When you hit them, it sounds like cymbals.

The CLEANEST hostel I've ever seen!

The CLEANEST hostel I've ever been to! Cleaners were passing by the room several times per day, also common restrooms were frequently cleaned. Dorm was really nice and spacious, kitchen and common spaces were great, not to mention the amazingly friendly staff and the bar, super cool! The area where the hostel is located is fine, nice and safe, conveniently close to Termini station and I've always felt safe as a girl

Fun social vibe!

I loved the vibe of the hostel and enjoyed the activities at the bar. The place has a laundromat across the road and they have a few different hangout spots. But I met most of my traveller friends at the bar!

The bathroom in our room was a little mouldy. And climbing up/down the bunk bed ladder was a bit hard for me (I’m short) as the first step is quite far from the ground

Hostel for young travellers

Very friendly and helpful staff. Several shared areas. Very good breakfast at the Yellow bar. Safe personal lockers in the rooms. Restrooms inside the rooms and soap and shower gel are provided. Multiple restaurants and pubs nearby, with conventioned aperitivo at the Yellow bar.

The rooms are very small considering they are shared among multiple people. The restroom inside the room are very small and with no windows. A bit of noise outside during night

Perfect location

Location is perfect, just a 5 minute walk to Termini station and close to many restaurants and supermarkets. There is a pharmacy right in front of the hostel and a nice little bar from the hostel as well.

A bit pricey

The bathroom especially the shower was really dirty and had a bad smell coming from it, having to pay extra for curtains is not ideal

Absolutely loved how everything at the hostel was! From the staff to the freebies - water, pasta everyday, earplugs, tampons, kitchen stuff! If you want to meet interesting people and have fun activities this is the hostel to be!

While it's quite close to Roma Termini, it's a bit far from the hip neighbourhoods and major attractions.

Overall, I had a lot of fun staying at the Yellow Hostel. It is in a great location nearby many plac

Breakfast did not have much options. I like that it was organized and clean.

On the first night, the shower area needs a bit more cleaning at the doors. On my second night, the cleaning area was very small where I cannot change in there and I right it was a closet. Improvements can be made to the shower areas.

Great little hostel, well set up and fabulous base for a time in Rome!

This hostel has great vibes and is a perfect base for exploring Rome. Staff on the 24hr reception are friendly, welcoming and help checkin with total ease. There is a lovely vintage lift to take you up to the floor your room is on and it is a physical key card for access to the corridor your room is on and the room itself. I was in a 4 bed female dorm and the beds were well made bunks and comfy. The room was spacious, quiet and had lots of space for baggage etc - and even a small mirror and seating area to get ready in the morning as well as a joint bathroom with shower. Each bed has its own light and plug sockets. There is an ample locker to put all your things in too - remember to bring your own lock! Location wise it is very close to the station which is ideal for travel. However, very close to the station is not the nicest area in Rome so worth bearing that in mind when you book here. It is maybe a 20-30 minute walk to sites such as the trevi fountain or the colosseum. The vibe is young traveller and there is a pub opposite where you are encouraged to go, which later at night very much has the sticky floor, cheap drink appeal of youthful drunkenness. However, there is also a couple of chill lounges inside the hostel itself where you can enjoy the more serene night experience with a book or a guitar if you so desire. Overall, fab place to stay and great value for money! I was very glad to have chosen here to recuperate after my 37 hour flight journey and to explore Rome. Thanks for a great stay!

Nothing about the hostel was bad, just be aware of the location against what you are looking to do.

Party hostel in Rome

The hostel was well organised and I loved the free pasta for dinner. It was a good way to mingle with other people. It’s quite a party hostel, maybe because of the time of the year so not really my vibe. But if you like to party then this would be perfect for you.

Pleasant

The staff and volunteers were always friendly and super fun and it was a great atmosphere. The room was incredibly spacious which you don't get very often so that was a big plus. We had a en suite bathroom (see what I didn't like but they did provide free tampons) as well as nice shower in the room which was great. You get a key card for everything which is also great. The vibe in the hostel is great and their Yellow Bar has great drinks and you get a discount when you stay with them. They also offer different event nights which is fun and great to meet other people! I found the location to be quite ok, not the closest to everything but I enjoyed it and it's definitely close to Roma Termini and many smaller restaurants and a grocery store is around the corner.

I'm tall and the beds were kind of short for that. The beds also didn't have curtains. The outlets of the bed were on the opposite side of where they put a small safe for your valuables so that you still had to put your phone somewhere on your bed when charging over night. The beds also didn't align to the wall so that if you were at the top, things could fall down on the lower bed if placed close to the wall. You also had to bring a lock for your locker, which is ok but considering the price of this hostel, questionable when comparing to the other hostels I've stayed in around the world. The lockers were also just bars so that everyone could see what you have in them and potentially grab stuff. Yes, they say to put valuables in the safe they provide but still not acceptable in my opinion when looking at the price per night. The ensuite bathroom was a bit of a joke. I was told that this is normal in Italy but I've never seen a smaller bathroom than that. If you sat on the toilet, your head was literally in the sink. I'm also not sure how you would get into the shower given there is literally no space. I personally would've locked it up and said use the communal restrooms. I only sued those because they were clean and spacious.

There were a lot of activities. The staff was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was young and energetic but also laid back. They had their bar across the street with free pasta nights. The staff was open to changing our room when we had a problem with the room. We took advantage of their laundromat across the street. Dorm prices seemed OK, but our private room was a bit pricey in comparison to hotels in the area.

The room had a problem with a bad smell coming from the bathroom. We thought it was just old building smell the first night, but it was just too bad after the second night, even with closing the bathroom door.

Perfect place to stay prior to Contiki start

Chose this as it was where the Contiki I was joining started. Great proximity to city.

Beds weren't the best, but it's a hostel, so I guess that's what you get. Very pricey for what you get.

Really nice hostel, great staff and location!

The hostel is very nice, the staff is very friendly, the bar in front is nice as well. 8 minutes walk to Roma Termini.

I wish the bathroom was split between bath and toilet just to give more flexibility to the guests. I didn't have any issues as the other girls didn't need to use at the same time I did, but I can imagine if all 4 girls had a pretty similar schedule, it would be a nightmare to share. The aircon is not the strongest, however it was enough for the weather (around 30C). Not sure if it would be enough for the peak of the summer (38-40C)

My stay was worth every dollar I spent.

Overall it was a good stay.

A wide range of activities are available for residents to participate in, making them suitable for making friends from all over the world. The rooms are clean and tidy.

There are restaurants in the neighborhood that are open until late at night, so there is still some noise at night that affects resting.

really nice hostel

The place was really nice, staff were very friendly and inviting, and the rooms were pretty comfortable. Each bunk bed had its own light, safe, power outlets and locker, and the room itself and the shared bathroom were pretty clean and tidy. The hostel offers free water and upon check in we are given a free beer voucher and a bracelet that gives us 20% discount in any drink at the bar.

Fun, walk-able, friendly and of course: historic

The room was super spacious and the private bathroom really useful. The staff was helpful and I loved the kitchen: a ton of space, utensils and fridge. The shower worked really good. I loooved the location, really close to the Termini and also a 20 minute walk to anywhere else: the Fontana, Coliseo, etc.

The bunk beds where comfy but annoying to go up and down, they are really tall which is great cause you can sit, but your things are far away from you, unlike the person that had the lower bed. I didn't like that there was too many stairs to carry my suitcase.

Central, easy, fun, clean, and good vibes.

I liked how there were events happening every night. As a solo traveller it was nice having stuff going on so close to help get to know new people.

The blankets were small, my roommate complained about being cold, I had brought an extra travel blanket which made the bed more comfortable

They have all the things in there. There is working space, kitchen etc.

In the rooms, the closets are made of metal, so they make a huge noise when you try to take your stuff from them. This noise can wake up others. Additionally, they should provide slippers.

Very good

The Location is very enticing. Walking distance from Bus stations and Train stations. The Area is very well lit at night. The Yellow Square actually has two buildings each opposite at the othet side of the street. One building for the admin-receptions and shared kitchen, while the other is the sleeping are aligned with their Bars. The receptionists are very nice and very attentive, I was assigned to a bed that I have found out someone already took it. But the receptionist are well mannered and reaarrange it very efficiently. The Rooms are big and well ventilated. There are built in Passcoded Security Metal Deposit box in each side of the bed. The Bedsize is nice enough that I could sit up straight without banging my head. In each bed, there is a electric socket and bed lights. The Wifi is very fast and reliable. The Shower and toilet is in a one cubicle, it is well strategize built so that it would not facing the bed that we were sleeping in. There is a window that can be open for fresh air. Soaps, Shampoos and toilet papers are well provided. The lockers are under the bed which is spacious, just bring own locker for it. The Shared Kitchen is well equipped from Fridge, Tea pots, Microwave, and eating utensils. They provide also free Pasta, Olive oil and Cereals. They have an event in the bar and provide a 1 free beer for the guest. The well equipped Sensor Image CCTV adds the very good security for the guest.

The Toilet and Bath in a room is a little bit stiff. I hope there could be a little bit more space. The Space at the back side of the bed, that is where I have missed and have accidentally dropped my stuff without noticing. I hope the option to have a free red wine than beer at the bar. Because, I have learned that Italian Wine is very known product. I wish there would be a Free Storage Locker for the check-out guest.
