YellowSquare Reviews: Rome

It is purely my favorite hostel

The hostel is very good located. I was in a dorm form women, which I was really happy about. I stayed 5 nights and met incredible people! The hostel organizes events daily, which were very fun! But as in any hostel, don’t forget your earplugs and sleeping mask in case you want to sleep in.

Traveling solo as a middle-age woman from the United States for the first time in Europe. And first time staying in a hostel, my experience here could not have been better. Not only was the staff welcoming and helpful, but I felt very safe. The location was perfect. There was a bar across the street with events., a Metro and a bus stop just around the corner , many restaurants that I could walk to in very close to the train terminal. I had no issues with anyone trying to pickpocket me, even walking on the street at night. I recommend this hostel to anyone.

The overall experience was really good.

I had a great experience at the hostel- met some wonderful people. The hostel stall was also very kind, helpful and supportive to tourists 🙂 Would 100% recommended

I like your atmosphere and hospitality

Worst part was definitely the location (unsafe at night). Other than that, some details like: the beds did not have curtains for privacy (had to improvise with a blanket), and furniture looked a bit old. My towel was stained, so cleanliness was also a concern. The staff was fairly helpful though, so grateful for that.

Party everyday at the bar, it was my 10th hostel of my 6 weeks eurotrip and Yellowsquare was by far the best.
Amazing vibe, very social, even on monday you had the chance to dance at the bar.
10/10 if you look for a social hostel
Gracias yellowsquare ❤️🇨🇱

It’s a great hostel with many people. The staff is all really nice and helpful. It’s clean and there’s a bunch of activities everyday. The cafe/bar across the street is also very nice. The location is okay. Close to the train station but a bit far from all major touristic attractions (all 30 min. + walk). The only downside for me was the check in/out time. Very early check out (10 am) and very late check in (3 pm). The gap in between could be shorter (ex. 11-3).

The stay was good, staff was helpful.

Overall, my stay at YellowSquare Rome was fine but nothing special. The hostel is clean and the staff are friendly, but the dorm beds don’t have curtains, which for me is a big downside. The atmosphere is very social, but at times it felt a bit forced, like the hostel is trying too hard to create a party vibe. The location is also a bit far from the historic centre, which became annoying when going back and forth. If you’re mainly looking to meet people and don’t mind less privacy or extra walking/transport, it could work, but it wasn’t quite my style.

The property was very clean. Was not too loud at night and had great promotions at the bar/restaurant across the street. Very welcoming staff. My only complaint is the fee to purchase a bath towel. Considering I stayed in a private room, I wished I would have been provided with 1 or 2 complimentary bath towels.

I love staying in this hostel!! Especially Athens and Rome, I was extremely well received and helped by all the team of both units. They were kind, generous and friendly. Also, the events and social interaction developed for the guests are completely amazing!!!

the employees were really nice

Hostel was clean, accessible and safe. Close to the main train terminal and easy to walk or scooter/bike to points of interest

Good service and quality in general. Only the smell in my bathroom was bad. Location es good.

It good located close to to termini like about 10 minits in the other direction of the center but still not so far…its clean but it needs mainatanance as thousands of people visited the place ehich is good but from the other hand its consumed and needs frequent maintanance which i didnt notice..also i didnt find a handheld toilet bidet sprayer which i prefare to use when its available…and there is a bar under the hostel you will hear a houd sound of the dj specially at week ends as they celebrate so it will be hard to sleep … The good thing is that there is a safe box for each one the bad thing that happened with me the pin that i used for 2 days it didnt work for some reason when i was checking out at 5:00am as i got my flight some hours after but the reception as its 24hrs they cane and used the master code and it was solved quick thanx to them :)) the last thing the bed curtains were upsent as i prefare them for pricecy and light control.

I loved every day I spent at the hostel, great and cheerful atmosphere with amazing people. I loved the parties, the atmosphere, and the great company.

All amazing, the activities, the people was just the best environment.

its not the worse thing ever but like for the price i wouldnt recommend it
i booked a 4 dorm female and i was with two woman who were respectively 46 and 48
how is it possible when the limit is 45 i dont know
they slept at 10 pm on new year and woke me up at 5 in the morning the day after
so not ideal
most of the activities i wanted to do were canceled last minute because not enough people

Amazing people, amazing staff, amazing room. Everything was perfect. The location near the train station is very convenient and the historic center of Rome is at around 30 minutes by walk.
The free pasta every evening save my life a few times.

I had a very good stay at this hostel. The beds are comfortable and the place is really clean overall. The rooms, kitchen, and common areas are cleaned regularly and very well maintained. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare food, and it was always clean. The living room is a great shared space with internet and a computer, perfect for relaxing and meeting other travelers.

The staff were kind and helpful. Mateo was especially nice and supportive, he even helped me when my phone was stolen by a pickpocket, which I really appreciated. Even though I did not have time to go to the bar, there were always people around willing to help, and the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming.

The only downside was the toilet smell. Even though it was cleaned every day, there was a strange odor that did not go away, even after I bought something to improve it. I am not sure where the smell was coming from.

Despite that, I really enjoyed my stay. It is a clean, social, and comfortable place, great for meeting nice people. I would still recommend it and I am thankful for the great service.

My stay was awesome. The staff is very polite and high energy. I met so many cool people. Would definitely stay again

Everything was good, I enjoyed my stay. I didn’t like how water from the shower door would drip onto the common area floor. I wish towels were free, but I did like how they provided ear plugs, and a personal safe.

The vibe of the hostel was really good. I really enjoyed the pasta dinner and free drink at the bar. the food options at the bar were really good. I like the kitchen and coomom working space as well.

I did not like the condition of the room. The bed mattress was sunken in the middle; moreover, the washroom was really small, and the shower did not have hot water. The hostel really needs to renovate the rooms.

Moreover, the vending machine was not working

Look no further for the kind, fun, love filled space to make new friends and experience the best while in Rome!!! I am so so so grateful for this place and the staff. Truly exceptional service and they went above and beyond to help me in any way they could. The front desk, bar staff, and even Dj Marco were SO kind. Until we meet again!!!

The experience was overall great. The food and drinks were quality, atmosphere is welcoming and fun. Clean facilities. My only complaint is the room was hot, AC did not seem to work very well, and I was there in December.

I really enjoyed my stay. Staff are great and the facilities are really good.

Everything was grea, the staff the location the parties

Very nice stay with wonderful reception staff. Easy to get into the city and see the sites. The only negative was that there was some mold in the shower. Otherwise the bathroom and room was clean and well maintained.

Great staff, great facilities, great location. Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Thank you!

Bar area great, very sociable in general with plenty to get involved in. Standard rooms, no complaints there. Easy location too!

Great stay overall! The location is super convenient, just a short walk from Roma Termini, which meant I didn’t have to linger around the notoriously dodgy station area. The hostel’s in-house bar was always lively at night and had a very welcoming vibe if you want to join the fun. Plenty of restaurants and shops surround the place, so everything you need is close by.

Overall many major things need improvement:
Cleanliness (the bed frame was very dusty, air quality inside the room (no proper ventilation), renovation standard inside the room and particualy in the washroom with old plastics, take away breakfast standard and the fact that breakfast start very late (7.30 am) so I couldn’t have it and had to take a take away box which was very poor quality.

It was my first time in a hostel and it was a wonderful experience. I felt very safe the entire stay. The room is amazing and the fact that we had a bathroom only for us made a huge difference in comfort and practicality. The clean service of our room was amazing. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The activities at the hostel are really fun and the Yellow Bar is a good place to hang out at night and meet new people!

Because the beds are made entirely out of metal, they are quite loud. It’s fine, but just hard to be quite if you are leaving early morning or coming in late at night.
As for the wifi, it kept disconnecting and reconnecting. It was a strong signal but during busy hours (e.g. at bed time) it would be really spotty and would disconnect and reconnect repeatedly.

Goid beds, super bar and breakfast
