YellowSquare Reviews: Rome
YellowSquare Rome is located a 10-minute walk from the city center and is a solo-traveler friendly base. We offer female-only dorms, shared dorms, and private ensuite rooms for all types of travelers. If you need to get work done, Smartsquare is our professional coworking space. For food and social vibes, Yellow Bar is our main restaurant and events hub, while the Arcade hosts stand-up comedy and activities in the basement. It’s the perfect place to meet travellers, grab a drink, go for stroll with new friends and connect with our global community.
The facilities are very well equipped, location is perfect very close to the train station and not too long a walk to historic centre. The bar downstairs is very convenient, lots of fun activities for everyone.
We had an AMAZING time staying here! The staff was so helpful with everything, the rooms were super clean with a lot of space, there were events every night, and there were so many places to hang out/ meet people!! We would 100% stay here if in Rome again.
Great staff, great vibe and perfect location.
The room I was with in had a weird moldy smell and visible mold. I felt myself getting wheezy from the poor ventilation and the placement of the bar so close let to hard times sleeping with all the noise. Thanks amenities, but still very expensive and not my favorite.
I had a great time. Slept better than I expected in the six-bed dorm and the facilities with storage in the room were well thought through (even though I couldn’t completely shut and lock my under-bed storage).
I was really impressed with the space in Rome. It felt incredibly welcoming and productive. I really Liked that the bar was separate from the lobby and felt like a proper bar. Most hostels have the bar in the lobby and it’s very crammed/clashing vibes. The rooms always felt clean, especially the bathrooms! No mold, dust, dirt! Was really content with my experience 🙂
Everything ran smoothly, from checkin to checkout. The facilities are comfortable and the people are receptive. The guests are from different ages, counties and background. The price is reasonable and I loved the experience.
Hello🤍 This was my sencond time at this hostel.
The cleaning was not good at all. The smell in the room was heavy
The hostel is located in two buildings on opposite sides of the street, bar and car noise will get into your room when you’ve got a street side window. The room interior is colorless, the bathroom quite small compared to the available space between the beds.
Elevators are slow and undersized for 6 floors of hostel, 3 person per cabin
The bar is well stocked with fair prices, cool activities are ordered. But it will be incredibly full even on a weekday
The breakfast is incredible, well worth the 11€
It’s about 10 mins walk to termini
It was hard for me to relate and become friends with the people staying in my dorm because of how much older the people were. Lack of privacy with no curtains makes it difficult to feel comfortable while sleeping.
Yellowsquare Rome was my first ever stay at a hostel on my first solo trip ever and I didn’t expect to love it so much. Everything was so easy and went on so smoothly because of the help of the staff. My favourite part was the Yellowbar where I got to have free pasta every night and meet so many different and amazing people. The activities were also so fun and I really had the best time. Also amazing location, everything was at a walking distance and that was great.
I had an amazing experience here. The staff were lovely and did a great job bringing everyone together for a fun time.
This is by far the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at.
Good localization, great structure, clean bedrooms.
The hostel was so beautiful, good location and the dorms were really clean.
Nice social hostel. Free pasta every day was geeat
Clean and cute public areas and room. Great bar with a nice vibe, friendly staff, appreciated the free food and drink discount.
I booked a 6 beds female dorm but got the upgraded to a dorm of 4 which was great. I got really lucky that all the girls in my dorm arrived on the same day so we ended up getting close and enjoying Rome together.
I had an amazing stay at YellowSquare! The place was spotless and well-maintained, which made it feel comfortable and welcoming from the moment I arrived. The staff were absolutely fantastic friendly, helpful, and always ready to make sure everything was perfect.
What really stood out was the fun atmosphere. There were so many activities to take part in, making it easy to meet people and enjoy every moment of the stay. It truly felt like more than just accommodation it was an experience.
I left as a very happy customer and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!
The staff, the services, the rooms, everything was truly excellent. My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience.
Really nice hostel , location is amazing, very clean and friendly. Thanks for everything fur sure I will be there again .
This was such a great experience, I’d love to come back. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Food way exceeded expectations. Love the communal micro culture that you’ve created. Location was perfect. I had a lot of fun.
I accidentally booked the wrong date for my stay, and unfortunately the reservation was non-refundable. Even though it was my mistake, the staff showed great understanding and kindness. They took the time to look into the situation and decided to offer me a refund, which I truly appreciated.
It meant a lot to see such flexibility and care for guests. Situations like this show how much a place values people, not just policies. Thank you again for your understanding and professionalism.
Great service, great bed, great bathroom with soap, shampoo and hair dryer! Great facilities and wifi. Amazing activities and staff 🙂
The Indian man working at the bar was very rude.
All the commodities and staffs are perfect.
Receptionists and cleaners are friendly. The room was well cleaned every day.
Rooms are fine. And the bathroom is very clean and good. Staff is realy nice. Location is easy to find. After leaving here, I had to spend one night at a hostel in Naples, and that’s when I realized once again how nice this place really is. I would definitely recommend it to everyone
For the price, I kinda expected more. The breakfast was overpriced. Overall, it was fine. Nothing special.
Good hostel with good vibes in a central location
It was a very nice location. The only downside was no curtains but everyone just hung their towels up and it was fine. It did get a bit loud outside at night but wasn’t anything that kept me awake. Staff was very welcoming and helpful.
I find here a lovely place. Also, the staff members were really nice, especially Stamm.
The bedrooms were well-equipped. The hostel is also very well located near to the subway station.
For me the best was the free pasta hour. lovely to eat realy and home-cooked pasta.
The bar staff was also nice and friendly all of them.
I liked the activities there. were interesting and fun!!1
We have just stayed 3 nights in February and couldn’t fault it. Beds were super comfy, rooms were nice and dark at night, the beds did have curtains on them for privacy which i thought they wouldnt have when first researching the place. The pub/restaurant that they own across the road was very reasonably priced, was getting morning espressos for about 1 euro. All staff were friendly and helpful
Stayed at Yellowsquare for my first solo trip and it was amazing! I arrived in the middle of the night and check in was super easy, the room was great, I felt super safe, and the Yellow Bar was a great place to meet people! I would definitely recommend to any other solo travelers. Also, the day I checked out, I was able to leave my bag in a locker all day for just $0.50!
The room was fine, but it was extremely hot and the ac did not work.
Staying at YellowSquare Roma was a great experience. The dorm was clean, and the common areas were comfortable and great for meeting fellow travelers. The bar associated with the hostel was also a lot of fun and I appreciated that people staying at the hostel got discounts on drinks.
The place was great, clean and very kindly
Internet in the room was super bad, the room was old and ugly
The people were quite cool and lot of activities organized by the team. Was an amazing experience in a way! Some parts like the toilets could be much cleaner
Everything in general was perfect. I would just point for the cleaning.
Also the bathrooms are very small.
The hostel is really nice and modern, has a lot of common areas were you can chill, work and meet people. Is really near the train station and a couple of restaurants.
I unfortunately didn’t have the best experience this time around. I had an amazing time at your Florence establishment which is what prompted me to book my accommodation with you for Rome, Athens and Milan. The first thing I noticed was that the internet connection was terrible. It kept getting disconnected every couple of minutes throughout my stay, which was very frustrating. The connection was either super weak or kept getting disconnected continuously. The next thing was the bathroom. I was so pleased with the bathroom in Florence, but stepping into the one in Rome was extremely disappointing. It was super cramped up which I didn’t expect based on the pictures on your website. The shower drain also didn’t work properly forcing me to shower in a puddle every night. The bathroom was altogether a frustrating experience. I think it would be helpful if the pictures on the website were updated since part of my disappointment came from high expectations. I did expect a similar vibe to Florence, if not better, considering the rate was higher. Therefore it contributed to my disappointment and frustration with the room. The staff were lovely and I have no other complaints, I just think updated photos would be helpful 🙂
