YellowSquare Reviews: Rome

Great place, people and location!

I had a great experience, good instructions, many benefits to use as discounts and ways to meet people easily and securely

scary elevator and loud door slams. unsettling men next t. us in the bar.

The stay was amazing, especially Kate and Serhat made me feel so welcomed.

I had a great stay, the people I met here we’re so open and social, made lots of friends. There’s a tattoo shop, a bar and a kitchen. There’s events, free pasta every evening. Overall just a great hostell. The showers are a bit small though and not that many toilets. But everything else was great

Good General Atmosphere and it rooms very cleaned every day. But rooms are tiny, old beds, no Cover for the beds.

The room itself is just kind of badly designed.
– The plugs are all loose and the one by the headboard is downward-facing, which means my plug falls out all the time. The plugs in the bathrooms don’t work. For girls at least, we should be able to have working plugs in the bathroom.
– The shower only has water dropping from up top, which means we can’t wash our bodies without washing our hair.
Next if we just get shower curtains, then one person could shower while the other one uses the sink. But because you don’t have that, only one person can use the bathroom at a time
– No ventilation in the rooms

Good location near station. Very clean and comfortable. Staff were very helpful to put me in same room as my friend and, even thoguh i had to book my nights separately they went the extra miles so i didn’t have to change rooms halfway through my stay.

I got there around midnight, and the woman at the reception who helped me the first time I stayed at this hostel was extremely rude, just like last time. I ended up booking a shared room by mistake, because your website is TERRIBLE and updates the information automatically when it gets to the payment part.The mixed room I stayed in had 3 men, it was a 4-person room. The room had a horrible smell, like cheese. The bathroom was extremely soaked. My blanket had a terrible cheese smell, it seemed like it had terrible foot odor. I didn’t complain that day because I would have to wake up at 5 a.m. to leave, so I stayed with the blankets like that. I told the receptionist who helped me during my check-out, and he was polite and attentive.

the room definitely could have been cleaner. shower was so small. we could barely get i. and out, let alone move around to actually bathe. very incomparable to the pictures shown on the website. also, they leave the laundromat door open so anyone off the street can just come in. bar and hangout area was nice.

My favourite hostel i’ve stayed in, (most) of the staff are lovely, nice and clean, beds are comfy, great location- 5 mins from termini about 30 mins walk from colosseum and trevi fountain. Bar across the road is great , not too expensive and they have something on every night. Probably most expensive hostel in the area but i’d say it’s worth it and would definitely stay again.

Really great

The toilet got some issues and there is no constant follow-up with the customer.

The location is superb and the staff are friendly and no rude nor unfriendly

Our stay was ok, room was very tiny for two people. Room was clean and personnel was friendly. Bed was great and the A/C was also great.

I found staff to be helpful and friendly. Events were well organized and social spaces were clean and accessible. The free pasta was awesome and a great way to start the night and bring people together, along with the “events.” The bar was social and picked up later in the evening. Drinks were good, staff were welcoming.

I enjoyed every moment there, so good

The locations is great! But I felt a little out of the place in terms of activities when doing check in nobody told me anything about we do this activity and this, it was like ok so I can figure it out. They just told me about the bar, co working, and that’s it. It felt rushed.

I had a great time staying at the Yellowsquare hostel in Rome. The rooms were spacious, the beds comfortable and the breakfast was great! For breakfast you get to choose from a couple different meals which are freshly prepared for you. Besides that they are plenty of places and opportunities to get to know others. I met some lovely people while doing my laundry! The hostel is very close to the Termini Station as well as the metro.

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.

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.

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