Rome Hostels

"This is a wonderful hostel, honestly, I was a bit scared, as some reviews did raise concerns! But everything went perfectly. The room was clean, the linen was clean and fresh. Yes, the plumbing is a bit old, but most importantly, both hot and cold water were available! Rooms with private bathrooms and toilets are in a separate building, which is absolutely not a big deal. By the way, there's a communal kitchen there with a kettle, microwave, fridge, and a capsule coffee machine. And right next to it are capsules, sweet buns, and it's all FREE! In the main building, there's even daily wine: white and red, plus chips and nachos! How cool is that!!! The staff are super responsive! Location is right next to Termini station. I personally walked to all the sights, so the location worked out great for me! Overall, thank you very much ♥️, I definitely recommend this hotel 👍"

"This is a great place to stay. Very accommodating staff and clean place. The only downside for me is the bed without covers. The spaces are enough but some privacy curtains would be preferrable. I understand that there could be reasons behind it but most of the hostels I stayed in before, mixed or not have privacy curtains. My bed location was in a bit awkward location as it is visible upon entry. A cover from one side would be great. Still overall, I would come back to Generator on my next visit. ☺️"

"I had an amazing stay at Hostel Castello Maggione in Rome truly a 5-star experience! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome. They were friendly, helpful, and always ready with great tips about the city. The location is perfect close to major attractions and well connected by public transport, making it super easy to explore Rome. The atmosphere in the hostel is relaxed and social, ideal for meeting other travelers while still being able to enjoy some quiet time when needed. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and the common areas were cozy and inviting. Everything felt safe and well organized, which made my stay stress-free. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Great value for money, excellent service, and a fantastic vibe. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rome!"

"Love this hostel, has really good vibe and clean. The storage, living room and kitchen are well managed. All the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Good location, room are clean and well equipped at each bed( socket , lighting ) Also have the voucher for beer and pasta at the restaurant across the street."

"The room had everything I needed. It was very clean and comfortable. Bathroom was a little small but useful. However I couldn't get TV to work. Hostel is about and hour far from the center. It is not close to the metro station but there are many buses. It was a great deal for its price. I enjoyed my stay here."

"This was such an amazing find! From the friendliness of the staff, to cleanliness of the rooms and the brilliant location - most things were in walking distance and it's close to a metro line. I was here from 29th Dec '24 - 3rd Jan '25. I was initially really sceptical about staying in a hostel... However, to my complete surprise, it was the best decision ever. The staff really made us all feel at home! The bathrooms are cleaned daily. If you want to use a towel, they are available for rent. The beds and drawers are both lockable, and the room I stayed in was a 3 bed female room, which was also locked. On New Years Eve, we were all invited to join in for a special meal. For a low cost, we were served a 3 course home cooked meal! It was absolutely delicious! The diverse group around the table were amazing. We all shared our travel stories and then went off to watch the fireworks at midnight at the colosseum (which is only a 20min walk away). Everyone was super friendly, and I would absolutely recommend Free Hostels Roma to anyone travelling through or alone. What a great way to meet like-minded people!"

"Nice view from the terrace, welcome receptionsists and all staff. The hostel provides with great activities each evening. I definitely recommend!"

"We booked double bed room for 3 nights (private) The room was soooo clean and new (maybe they were renovated?) Toilet, shower, air conditioner, bed, everything has no problem and good quality! You can use a hair dryer at the room. The staff was also kind and nice. They told us good places to visit in Italy. The Location was super, it was only five minutes from Termini station. I saw many bad reviews of this hostel on Google maps, maybe the shared rooms are not good. So I definitely recommend you to book private, double bed room if you visit there with more than 2 people. The price wasn’t much different! Careful: They don’t have a towel and it’s a bit difficult to get into the hostel at the first time."

"Great staff, great location great facilities great everything. I've stayed in a lot of hostels and this one trumps almost all others I've had the pleasure to stay in. Couldn't ask for a better place. Most highly recommended"
