The hostel is centrally located near Termini station, making it convenient for transportation. The rooms are clean and spacious, but lacking air conditioning, which can make them hot and musty. The dining options are slightly pricey for what is offered. The service is functional and professional, but nothing exceptional stands out for housekeeping. Despite being next to bus and subway stations, it is not very close to historical landmarks.

My stay at this hostel was a bit challenging as the room was still too hot for me to get any sleep, but it was decent for the price of a bed in a shared room. The staff members were always ready to help, especially in the hallway from 7-11. The location, though not in the city center, was convenient for reaching all the main attractions by foot. The dining option was a bit pricey at 8 €, so I didn't try it, but it's near the Metro station.

The hostel has its positives and negatives for sure. It's close to supermarkets, restaurants, and the metro, making it convenient. However, the rooms, especially on the 5th floor, are smaller than expected, and the lack of proper ventilation made it uncomfortable to sleep. The lady at the reception was really nice and helpful though.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and not far from the main building, just a short 3-5 minute walk. The big fan in the center of the room was a nice touch. However, the service could be improved, except for one female staff member who was very helpful with the maintenance issue. The location was great, close to Termini Station and easily accessible to all the main attractions. The dining options seemed overpriced for what was offered, and the cash-only policy for certain services was inconvenient.
