YellowSquare Reviews
YellowSquare is more than a hostel; it’s an international community designed for travelers who want to connect, work, and hang out. Across our locations in Italy and Greece, we provide female-only dorms, shared dorms, and private ensuite rooms, alongside working spaces and daily activities. Definitely not a boring hostel. From working over a coffee to evening events in our venues, we create a active atmosphere where locals and travelers meet and make friends. Every YellowSquare is a gateway to the city, focused on social vibes and the right place to meet people.
Amazing place to stay, great location and lovely activities to help socialising. The bar is amazing, what a fab rooftop for sunset and views over the acropolis. Really enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend.
It was a great stay for me.
1 room is very clean
2 location excellent is near to prt romana metro.
3 staff is very helpful.
4 people there was very friendly
Easy to find, easy check in, had everything we needed and a free drink voucher.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Yellowsquare Rome. I met new friends and partied every night. The rooms and bathroom were very clean. The mattresses could use replacing. They’re sagging in the middle but still comfortable. One complaint is they turned the heat on so the rooms got very hot we had to sleep with the window open and its noisy ALL night. I recommend bringing a travel fan. The location is perfect – 5 min walk from Castro Pretorio and 10 mins from Termini. You can honestly just switch at termini and take the B to C. Pretorio.
The bar and activities provided were so much fun and engaging. Food and drinks were good too. I highly recommend this hostel and I’ll definitely be back.
I love Yellow with my whole heart. I’ve been twice now, and both times have been unforgettable. There’s just something about the energy there—the way the staff make you feel instantly welcome, the laughter echoing through the halls, and the friendships that somehow feel like you’ve known each other forever. Every visit, I’ve met people who’ve changed my trip for the better, but it’s the staff who truly make Yellow special. They remember you, they care, and they make it feel like home no matter how far you’ve traveled. Yellow isn’t just a hostel—it’s a feeling, a community, and a place you always want to come back to.
I was overall really pleased with this place and would recommend it to anyone who wants nightly opportunities to meet people from all over visiting Rome. The only reason I didn’t give YelloSquare a 10 is because it can be a tad difficult to fall asleep if your room is overlooking the usually noisy Yellow Bar
Breakfast is definitely worth-while!!! Look for Barista and they make best cappuccino.
we booked the hostel for the roof top. unfortunately it was closed. the beds were very noisy.
apart from that the hostel is beautiful and the staff is incredibly kind
Super fun crowd, clean amenities, fun vibes, and overall a great stay
The hotel is close to Termini station. My private room was pretty basic, but wasn’t expecting nothing too fancy. The main thing is that it was clean and confortable.
I was really positively surprised by this place — my stay was great!
What truly made the difference for me was the co-working space. I needed to work during my days in Rome, and it honestly exceeded my expectations: amazing internet (both there and throughout the hostel), quiet, respectful, and super comfortable.
The staff were also fantastic — always ready to help, and in every language possible!
I stayed in two different rooms, and while I think the price-quality ratio could be slightly better, it’s still fair for what Rome usually offers.
The location is excellent too: a calm area, very close to Termini Station, and you can walk everywhere in about 20 minutes.
Overall, it was a wonderful stay — I’d come back without hesitation!
This was my first time staying in a hostel and the experience could not have been better. The rooms were clean, the facilities were bountiful and there was always something going on. I would recommend this hostel to anyone staying in Milan.
The hostel is at a great location in Athens. Our room and the bathrooms were clean. The disappointing part was you have to check out before 11am but our room wasn’t ready till after 5pm so we had to just wait around till it was, they gave us a coffee and a juice while we waited. They gave us a welcome drink at the rooftop bar which I would highly recommend for the views.
The room was very dirty. The bed and sheets were clean but the walls, floor and bathroom were very dirty. The floors and walls were covered in stains that didn’t look like anyone tried to get them out. And the whole bathroom was dirty with boogers on the walls and dirt everywhere. It was all so 27 degrees outside with no AC being able to be turned on.
The experience was incredible, the whole facilities are amazing, very clean, tydi, the pleople who works there too. Besides, the location is perfect.
I solo travelled during my trip to Rome and stayed in a Yellow Square mixed dorm, I met some amazing people at the hostel bar that shaped my experience for the better! I couldn’t recommend it enough. The staff were friendly, helpful and made me feel very welcome 🙂
Yellowsquare hostel Milan was very welcoming and helpful on arrival, helped to my room and given a free drinks voucher for the bar. There was a sociable bar with board / drinking games, a comunal kitchen, a courtyard area and a few other rooms I hadn’t explored. Lots of rooms for guests meaning there were lots of solo travellers to make friends with especially at the social events held in the evenings and ran by the hostels volunteers.
Wish the accommodation was a little closer to the centre but it’s perfect if you’re ok to take the metro!
The place was spotless, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful & the place is just an incredible vibe. Huge thank you to Denise as well for helping me out!
I really enjoyed my stay, the location is perfect and the hostel is friendly and very clean. I liked that it had a co-working space, a nice size community kitchen and the roof top was a great bonus. I stayed in a 4 person women only dorm, it was quite nice – had it’s own bathroom, it was clean, the beds were comfortable andmy roommates were friendly. Something I didn’t like is that not all beds had curtains (those that had were super loud) and also the lockers were extremely loud and placed right next to where our heads are when we sleep.
The staff were kind all the time and they speak more than one language which is useful. The rooms were good enough for our short stay in the city. The food at the bar was some kind of cheap for the quality it has.
Nicer than your average hostel, the rooftop bar was amazing! Also good spot to make friends
The stay was good, the beds were very comfortable, and the locker to store your belongings was spacious (it fits a carry-on and a medium backpack easily). There was also an additional safe next to the bed area.
The only thing that could be improved is the bathroom cleanliness. We stayed for 4 nights, and they only changed the floor towels next to the shower. However, the floor was constantly dirty and full of hair, and the toilet was never cleaned. (it had a very strong smell throughout the entire stay).
I messed up my booking and that lovely women went beyond and above to find sth for me even though they very fully booked. I got a more expensive stay for the cheaper price in the end. Clean, convenient, curtains, sockets and lights in every cabin, huge kitchen, very nice roof top bar, nice evening program, price more than reasonable
Great vibes. Met good people. Had lots of fun.
The rooms were fantastic, all equipped with lockers, private bathrooms and outlets in bunks. I booked an all girls 4 person room and enjoyed every aspect. They provide towel service for 1.5€ and unlimited refresh. I would 10…% recommend this for an upcoming visit. Also, location is very close to Athens center.
The hostel has a great location and the rooms are nice.
The walls are really thin and the people in our floor where a bit loud sometimes.
but the overall experience was good and I would book the hostel again.
I spent one night at Yellowsquare because my niece was staying there. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the room (private single room) and the comfort of it. Sheets and towels are provided. It’s comparable to a 3-star hotel and more reasonably priced. The hostel is located in a quiet, residential neighborhood just a few minutes’ walk from metro and tram stops. They organize lots of social events, tour and other activities. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful.
The staff is fantastic, the guests were friendly. I met nice people, enjoyed the free pasta (what you’d expect from free food), and appreciated a glass of wine as a welcome drink for free! I would have very much appreciated a non alcoholic option and discounts extended to N/A drinks as well. I felt like my best bet was to order alcohol because of the discounts, but I hadn’t drank in 6 months prior. It would be great to not encourage drinking so much, even though I understand that is a popular activity and does bring in great revenue.
There is a club/bar and you can hear the activities late into the night from the rooms. The bathroom was kind of nasty, lots of hair in corners, grimy floor and bathtub. The hallways didn’t seem to be cleaned daily. The beds were clean, so that was critical!
Overall, I’d stay again because of the great activities, people, and general atmosphere, but with a few small improvements, this could be an OUTSTANDING location. Thanks for everything!!
I had an amazing stay! The staff were very friendly, the rooms were clean, and everything I needed was available. I would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back again!
The rooftop view was a highlight, very clean and modern, with lots of activities. My only suggestion would be some more comfortable seating areas to socialise rather than just working tables.
The activities Yellowsquare organized helped solo travelers like me to connect and feel that sense of community
Very friendly personel, good location and great people in general.
At night there was a guy screaming all night long and hitting the iron frame of his bed after wich he fell from the upper double bed on the ground. Very funny guy haha 10/10 would come again
Hostel is good. 5 min walking distance to termini to catch any metro or bus. Amenities and rooms are as mentioned in description. Breakfast is okay.
Colosseum: Take 75 number bus from Indipendenza (3-4 min walking distance from hostel)
Trevi fountain, Pantheon, Piazza Navona: Take 87 number bus from Colosseum to Corso.
Trastevere: Take 75 number bus
Spanish Steps: Take metro line A from termini. Exit at spagna. Just 400m walking distance.
From destination in rome, if you are going back to hostel, just take 75 or 492 bus.
I quite enjoyed this hostel! Clean, and nice ppl. I booked rather quickly without checking out ammenities and it would’ve been really nice if the front desk ppl had mentioned there’s a kitchen etc etc. I didn’t find that out till the day I left when I put my luggage in storage. That’s all!
Enjoyed my stay here. The people were nice and the location was great – a 10 minute walk from the city centre. The building was very modern and the facilities were nice, especially the rooftop bar. My only criticism was that the bathrooms were designed poorly, in a way that let lots of water leak from the shower to the rest of the area (there was no door just a partition) and had no real ventilation except for a tiny window, which meant there was standing water which attracted mosquitos. After getting bitten on the first night I used repellant and it was fine after.
Great and very social hostel. I stayed in 4 female dorm and it was perfect. It’s very close to metro, restaurants and supermarkets. All the staff were very accommodating.
Everything was amazing! If I come to Athens again, I will definitely stay at this hostel. It was spotlessly clean and very spacious. The rooftop view was stunning. Thank you for everything!
Probably the best hostel experience I’ve ever had. 🙌🏼 Very good, clean facilities, super attentive and helpful staff, and the rooftop bar on the top floor is undoubtedly the best place in the building, in my opinion. Perfect view of the Acropolis. The only thing that isn’t so perfect is the location, in a slightly dangerous area that, especially at night and for women, can seem a little “dangerous,” but I think that’s just another aspect of the city of contrasts that is Athens. Highly recommended!
