Assessment

As a structure it is not very safe during the night because the doors always remain open and there are not even wardrobes to store luggage. Furthermore, we are not there regarding cleanliness; the beds always remain unmade and we don't talk about the bathrooms. The only thing guaranteed is the bed and the bathroom and the atmosphere as soon as you enter the hostel isn't the best either.

We were transferred to another hostel (Villa Luzzatti) due to bedbugs!! Hygiene leaves something to be desired. I don't recommend it at all.

Expensive for what it is !

A weird place and super rude people

I arrived at the hostel, they told me that there are no places available even though I reserved and paid, they sent me to another hostel which is also dirty and the receptionist is super weird who wanted me type pcq I wanted to pay by card, and then he told me to get out of here, all this during the night, I spent a horrible night in the street because of them

Not as described, uncomfortable, unsanitary, disappointing.

Arriving at the hostel, we were moved to another hostel due to lack of space, 15 minutes away on foot, which took us further from the location we had chosen. In the new San Lorenzo Guest House hostel, we found ourselves in a 6-person female dormitory with private bathroom as agreed, but: - the bedroom door did not close (damaged door which opened at the slightest gust of wind) - the bathroom was unsanitary (shower and doors not clean) - broken shower head (and therefore water was coming out of the pipe) - no hot water - electricity point not up to standard (switch, sockets) - no locker - no common area/kitchen as you would expect from a hostel. After expressing our dissatisfaction, we were relocated after 2 nights out of 4 in another 4-person female dormitory with private bathroom. This room had the same problems as the previous one, and more: - the shower door did not close (but the shower head remained attached to the pipe) - the window shutter was broken and therefore let in light.

Terrible… dirty and bad service

No keys for this hostel, so anyone can walk in to any room. Stayed in a 3 bedroom with 3 beds, and only 2x plug sockets. The beds were bunk beds and unstable, the ladder to the top bunk was unsecured and dangerous. When I checked in and returned later in the night another woman had been checked into my bed. No lights in the shower or toilet, slippery floors. Unhelpful staff… really unhappy with the service.

Disastrous and to flee

Deplorable state of the structure, shower at the limit of use, I was in a room on a terrace where the door did not even close and a large bay window without a single curtain... I strongly advise against

A FRAUD. DO NOT CHOOSE IT

It is a complete scam. We arrived in Rome expecting to find a hostel like the one in the photos and the experience was terrible. It is located in a bad neighborhood of Rome, full of people who make you feel very insecure and homeless people who urinated and shit on the street corners. All full of graffiti and garbage. Just because of the location, my partner and I were already considering leaving, since we didn't feel safe at all. When I got to the hostel it was worse. It has NOTHING TO DO with the photos. It seems incredible to us that they have not reported him for SCAM. The rooms are overcrowded with people and suitcases, there is no division or separation between areas, beds or bunks. The doors are also not secure. If you looked inside the rooms, it gave you the feeling of being in a space enabled to collect people after a catastrophe or in a refugee camp. And of course, they do not have slogans to leave the suitcases either. It gave the impression that it was the place where the homeless of the neighborhood came to sleep. Very little hygiene. The bathrooms are not the ones in the photos either and it gives the feeling that they have no control over who enters or who leaves the hostel. We entered and were able to enter the rooms (by mistake) without anyone telling us anything. You arrive at reception (which is a sad table) and everything you see along the way in the corridor depresses you. Really. We felt that at any moment all our things were going to be stolen or, if we stayed, when we returned there would be nothing. Absolutely all the photos are retouched or made especially for the occasion, because even the terrace of the main entrance is quite another with garbage cans, dirt, mosquitoes and no type of decoration like the one that appears in the images. We didn't even ask for our money back. We ran to another hostel and filed a complaint on the website. I cannot believe that a site like this is still online offering service when it is clearly a scam and does not meet any conditions to host anyone. DO NOT HIRE IT. IS A GOTCHA.

Unhealthy

No hot water, constant noise from staff even in the middle of the night. I've had the added pleasure of bringing bedbugs home from their beds. No ladder for bunk beds. Don't go there, no matter the price, the feeling of discomfort is too strong to feel like you're getting a bargain.

a shit

A million years to attend to change the building because they were full. They took us from Guatemala to guatepeor. The truth is that it will cost €10 I would say “at least it is a roof” for €35 it is rubbish.

Need to rest & preserve

Hello, The reception was pleasant within the hostel. Nevertheless, I found myself in a room with 8 men (remaining the only woman), at night between the snoring and the very busy street, I couldn't sleep a wink. In the morning the smell of the community was also gripping. In order to take care of my health & have the opportunity to rest, I shortened my stay to 2 nights instead of 4 & I am currently awaiting a refund. Cordially, Alice Bouquillon

Good for the price

This is what you expect from a hostel at 20€ per night. There is still a problem with the hot water tank, and the lack of a locker is annoying. But if you need a place to sleep not far from the center that's fine.

Hostel near the train station

The hostel is pretty good but there is a big problem with the showers. Either they're in the room with no walls around them, or they're in bad shape. The team is very welcoming and it is quite easy to go to town from the hostel

Doesn't look like the photos posted

The hostel is close to Termini station, about 35 min walk from the city center, it does not look too much like the photos published, the upper beds are not comfortable at all, the rooms do not close, the toilets are a bit dirty, the hostel has a mini kitchen if anyone wants to cook their food, the staff were friendly except for one man who I think is the manager.

I wanted a hostel, not a safe house

Arriving at the reception, which is very poorly marked, I made my payment and with the excuse that the hostel at the address where I had booked it was full, they took me (reluctantly) to an old building to about 700 meters. To enter this building (every time we did it, and when you are a tourist there are not a few entrances and exits) we had to phone a man who could go whenever he wanted to the rooms, which had no key, no slogans , no space. Overall a very bad and unsafe experience.

disappointed

Well so just we agree it's a hostel but still ... receptionist very smiling but completely two on time ... There is no personal locker for valuables. so no security. There is a kitchen and fridge but offers nothing more...no coffee in the morning or even bottled water. no activity offered either. and no socket nearby if you're on the top bed, they're all downstairs... so complicated. for the price it is very disappointing.

Most of the reviews are true, but it's not too bad.

An experience that, within what we expected, has surprised us. The facilities are precarious; there are no lockers, the showers are not in very good condition... But to spend a couple or three nights it's not bad.

The place is to be avoided, especially for a woman traveling alone: very poor neighborhood, no lock on the door of the rooms, no lockers for business, no air conditioning, bed not comfortable, a garden hose as a shower head

Dirty but cheap

What to say ... Positive side: cheap and convenient since it is close to Rome Termini Negative side now ... I have never seen such a dirty hostel. From the walls full of dust to the showers probably not washed in months, the stoves full of grease and the doors black with smoke ... The first night I made the mistake of sleeping with a blanket provided, in the morning I found myself a bite on the thigh, luckily it didn't go deep. I would add that this place inside a building seems very shady without even a plaque outside to indicate the entrance. I will never go back and do not recommend it to anyone.

I really do not recommend

We can't complain considering the price of the night but the accommodation is still very dirty and noisy. Don't expect it to be like the pictures. Cold or broken showers (luckily 1 out of the 4 worked properly), some clogged toilets, dirty duvets and no sheets... In short, it's disgusting but it can be enough for a few days if you want to visit the city and just plan to sleep and don't spend more time here.

Quite disappointed with the facilities, cleanliness, organization, etc. the photos uploaded do not correspond to reality

I'm going to tell you a real and raw story ... Two friends reserve here with all the illusion of the world, a female room of 6, and they find that they are put in a "clandestine" room that is accessed by another room of 6, moving an old wooden closet, and opening a curtain ... When we access, we meet an Argentine woman, who lives there, and says she is tired of having companions, she also claims to be in charge of cleaning the hostel (in the room there were scented candles, creams, makeup, and thousands of rolls of kitchen paper ...) and the hostel, on the other hand, denoted not having been cleaned in YEARS! Amid so much dust I discover that there are no sheets on the beds, only an adjustable one, along with a brown pillow from use and reuse, a grimy quilt and ... Some black bugs on my mattress ... (I have photos of everything, for which want you to write to me) And when my friend and I decided to go to visit how are the bathrooms, we see that there is only one on our floor in which there were more than 3 rooms, one without a lock, without toilet paper, without towels, without a mirror, with hair, dust and fungus everywhere, ... It was hard to breathe in there! I do not want to extend much more because I already had enough with the kitchen-reception as my great first contact! A disappointment, yes, we did not endure more than one night in which we seemed to be at the North Pole and at the same time in the war, without blankets and with the strap of the bag wrapped around my thigh for what could happen ...

Description et photos mensongères

Les photos sont bien datées: on reconnaît les pièces mais l'auberge n'a plus rien à voir ! Les chambres paraissent miteuses, il n'y avait pas d'eau chaude dans toutes les salles de bain (qui n'étaient par ailleurs pas chauffées: en février sous des plafonds hauts, c'est toujours agréable...), on m'a fait payer plus cher que ce que le site prévoyait, pas de casier pour mettre les bagages comme dans la description et j'en passe. L'auberge ne s'appelle d'ailleurs plus Auber C Luxury Palace et le changement de nom était peut-être bienvenu...

Expected by the price

Do not expect a Hotel or something similar. Rather it is a family residence where it seems that the workers live there too. The experience was good, although there are no lockers in the rooms (a bit chaotic) and a little general order. The location is not perfect but there is a metro stop 5 minutes away and the Colosseum is about 20 minutes walk. Breakfast (milk, coffee, juice, toast and unlimited cereals) is offered for two euros and there is also a common kitchen that can be used. In summary, what is expected by one of the cheapest accommodation in Rome.

A nice little hostel

We appreciate the kindness of the staff who is like a family and who does not hesitate to come and talk to you so that you can feel at home. Hence the very relaxed atmosphere that prevails especially in the common room where the kitchen is. We meet there at night to discuss over a drink and a meal. We just regret the location which is certainly not far from the tourist center but which is the least attractive district of Rome.
