YellowSquare Reviews: Rome

Very nice and clean rooms and bathrooms! Does a good job with events and keeping the place social and happy!

This is a kind of unique review i’m leaving, I stay at yellowsquare in rome in a hostel dorm, I’ve always enjoyed hostal dorms, always cheaper, fun to meet people, there is noise to be expected its a hostel but on my first night after midnight the Police walk in with someone who was staying in the bed below me, about 5 officers told us not to worry and when they started searching the mans suitcase they kept saying look for knifes, this went on for about 5 minutes and then they took him away and told us not to worry, we were all very confused, i texted the front desk and no one got back to me so walked over, theres a lot of people at yellowsquare so i dont expect them to be across everything, people are always gonna make a bit of noise but police looking for knifes was weird and the reciption said they knew and told me not to worry because the police said it was fine, i came back and told everyone, we tried to get back to sleep and the arrested guy turned up again at 4/5am after being released, i had a week booked there but stayed art another hostel the day after this because i didnt feel too safe, the social setting here with the chance to meet people is great but i felt they really failed in just turning up with the police just to see the situation about knifes and also letting the guy back in felt a bit weird, i hate to write a negative review but feels a bit weird having like 4 officers awake a dorm to arrest someone a look for knifes and to just be its fine, a lot of the front desk were nice and helpful but that night it felt like they wrote me off a bit.

Very clean, pretty quiet, helpful staff. I appreciated the complimentary earplugs and santizing wipes. My only thing is that it’s A. bit far from all the sights and neighborhoods one would typically visit in Rome… nothing you can do about that though, and the pro is that you’re close to the train station. Not A. sketchy area by any means!

There’s was very loud construction in my building everyday and I’m very disappointed that for such an expensive place to stay… there was no pre warning about this before booking. I would not have been willing to pay so much if I knew this was happening.

I had the perfect experience at YellowSquare Roma during my solo trip to Rome!

From the moment I arrived, I felt really welcome and comfortable. The atmosphere is amazing for solo travellers, social and lively when you want to meet people, but you can also have your own space when you need some time for yourself.

The location was also perfect for exploring Rome, and the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming. I especially loved the vibe of the hostel: it feels much more like a community than just a place to sleep.

As a solo traveller, I really appreciated how easy it was to meet people and feel part of something, even though I was travelling alone. I also loved the common areas and the overall energy of the place.

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place for my first solo trip to Rome. I would absolutely stay at YellowSquare again and highly recommend it to anyone travelling solo! 🇮🇹❤️

Staying at the Yellow square was super fun, convenient and comfortable! This place has everything you need to make your stay enjoyable and make the most out of the trip

Had another excellent day at yellow Square good people good Staff good food good environment good atmosphere good location

Great little hostel. I only stayed here for 1 night but everything was perfect. The bed was comfortable and had a curtain for privacy. Kitchen was well equipped and they had a lounge area and garden. The proximity to Termini train station was the best thing 👌 I would definitely stay here again if I was to come back to Rome 💚 Oh and they have free pasta in the evening 😀

The team was very amazing and i enjoyed my time there

The rooms/beds and bathroom were very nice, and it felt like a safe area and environment. Our only small issues were that it was pretty far (about 30 min on semi-reliable public transport) from all the main tourist attractions, which was a little inconvenient for just a weekend trip, and that the bar (which seemed to kind of be the only one in the area) felt like it was disproportionately populated by older men (like over 40), which made us a little uncomfortable as two 20-year old women. I think anyone slightly older than us (like mid-late twenties) would probably feel just fine, but as young adults we definitely felt like we were significantly lowering the average age in the room.

had a really great stay at YellowSquare Rome! The hostel is very clean and the location is excellent, making it easy to explore Rome. The staff are super friendly, helpful, and welcoming.

I especially enjoyed the atmosphere and the evenings at the bar. There’s always good energy, music, activities, and plenty of opportunities to meet new people. The free pasta and free drink between 6 and 8 PM is also a really nice touch!

The community and social atmosphere were probably my favorite part — it’s very easy to meet travelers from all over the world and have a good time together.

Definitely a great place to stay in Rome, especially if you’re traveling solo and want to meet people. I would happily stay here again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My stay at the YellowSquare was amazing! No complaints

Yellow square was a really lovely hostel! It was easy to make friends:) I got a tattoo there at their tattoo shop and spent a lot of time in yellow bar too. The free pasta was helpful also 🩷 I really enjoyed my time there and would definitely recommend it xx

I liked it here, even if I didn’t spend so much of my time at the hostel because I was out exploring the city.
The beds were pretty comfortable for me and I got along pretty well with my roommates.
The bathrooms had everything I needed: shower gel, hot water and I could also rent a towel which was pretty cheap.
I didn’t really had the time to check all the social events, but I liked the ones that I participated in.
The drinks at the bar were pretty pricey for me, but it wasn’t such a big problem for me since I’m not really into alcohol. However, I liked the atmosphere in the bar and the free pasta.

I stayed in an all-female room for six people and was very pleased with the room’s modern furnishings, the fact that it had its own bathroom, and that both areas were clean overall.

Bathroom near the kitchen was good.
Is the bed fixed to roof or floor? I’m concerned about it.

The privacy bunks were great. the onsuite bathrooms were pretty dirty as well as the inside of the dorm windows.
There are no rules about the air conditioning being on but when a cleaner came in to me having it on while being the only one in the room she aggressively turned it off and opened the window to let in the hot roma weather.
The laundry mat was also rancid.
Also the hostel bar let in some outsiders which some of them were creepy and praying on many of the girls there, would be a better experience if that could be more of a limited hostel experience.

This is pretty much an ideal hostel to stay in — extremely central location, great staff, and a restaurant/bar attached to it (with limited free dinner!). The bed in my dorm was comfortable and had plenty of storage to keep my valuables in.

The hostel staff was very nice, rooms were clean and all things necessary were provided. Also most important thing water was free. The water seems to be a trivial thing, but having to pay for water in hostel is a cost that accumulates overtime. The kitchen has all the utensils and items that you can make. Overall I loved the Rome Yellow square Hostel. One of the best.

I finally made it to the YellowSquare after a long trip, and the place looked great and well-equipped. When I checked in, they claimed they upgraded me to a 4-bed room, even though I was pretty sure I’d booked that from the start. It was boiling hot in Rome, so I was showering at least twice a day just to stay fresh. My first time in the shower, the drain was clogged and it immediately overflowed, flooding the bathroom and even my bedroom. When I talked to my roommates, they said they were having the same problem. I went to the reception three or four times to complain, but they just kept brushing me off, saying the cleaning staff would handle it tomorrow. This went on for my entire trip. They didn’t actually fix the drain until my very last day after three and a half days of me asking. Other than that, everything was fine, but the bathroom issue was a huge problem because it felt really unhygienic and gross.

I would really recommend it here. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

This was the first hostel I’ve stayed in and I had a really good experience. The hostel is really well set up and organised and the staff are lovely! It’s in a great location near the main train station. I would definitely recommend.

Was an easy access to train station and walking distance✌️

Had a lovely time here. The staff was friendly and I made a lot of friends

The hostel was amazing . It was very clean . The room has AC. The social events are top notch

I stayed here for a night, really good time I had. Very social the hostel and the rooms are pretty good. I would say your getting your value for money.

The room was very clean, and the staff are very accommodating to the residents. Loved that the bar was owned by them and literally just across the street. The community spaces were amazing, and the kitchen was a great size for cooking while socialising. If you come definitely bring a padlock for the little locker for your stuff, but other than that i think your experience will be amazing☺️

best memory were made, only toilet was kinda broken. people were really nice, food amazing.

the bar is the best, the people are sooo cool

i really liked, it was an incredible experience

The customer service is very good and the cleanliness of the rooms is top notch, but if there is one thing that could be improved, it would be the standard and quality of the shower room.

A very well located friendly hostel with a cool bar and activites.

Had a great stay at Yellow Square Rome. My room was really clean and I liked the fact that the cleaning lady came everyday for a quick wash of our shared bathroom. I thought the main attraction were closer to the hostel but everything is at least 20-30min walk which is fine if you want to get your steps in haha. My only thing is that they were no activities in the day time to meet people, only night time at the yellow bar across the street. It is nice if you like to party often or if you are not shy in such big social environnement. Other than that, everything was great !

As soon as I walked in, the staff were the friendliest I’ve ever met. After a really pleasant convo with reception (I think Laura was running the show), they gave many freebies including a free totebag and some coupons. They guided me to the room which had AC, was spacious and felt like I had lots of personal space. Good lights, good ports for electricity and yeah. Bathrooms had hair dryers and shampoo which was a great bonus and I also got a free drink! The whole hostel seemed like similar solo travellers which is incredibly fun

As a solo traveller, I love nothing more than Hostels wits places to socialize with other travellers. The downstairs area, the kitchen, the bar/restaurant… all those things are really important and improve the overall stay a lot.

Everything was great, from check-in to check-out and even afterward. Nice room (clean and great AC), friendly staff, and great location!

The place was immaculate, the staff were so friendly & helpful throughout the entire trip.

Fine hostel, many Australians and British people. No hate but they were very noisy. Slept really bad because there were no curtains in front of the bed and the window didn’t work very well so the noise from the bar went directly into the dorm room. Really nice with the pasta though

if you want to party and meet new friends this hostel is for you, everyday they have a lot of different activities so you can socialize with new people.
The rooms were very clean and comfortable, the location is perfect, the metro is only 7 minutes away or you can walk.
Definitely i will come back 💗💗

The bedrooms where not the same in the pictures, so small and the bathrooms small
