YellowSquare Reviews: Rome

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.

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

This was my first hostel experience, was sceptical at first but after meeting my roommates and going to the bar I fell in love with this place.
If I’m ever in Rome I’m coming back here for sure.
Meeting people is so easy

I was there for 3 nights, it was clean, pretty, shower was alsou good,

Everything was excellent, specially the bar. Good location, good prices, good accommodations. The only thing I didn’t like were my roommates, they were loud and rude all the time and when I asked to change rooms I didn’t receive help. More than that, I’d return in the future

Overall, I had a pleasant stay; the hotel was clean, the reception staff were courteous and helpful, and the services were good, although the room rates were slightly expensive.

Location was alright, a bit far to walk to the main sights. Not much around the hostel. The free welcome drink and associated bar at least guarantee a social evening. The AC is a godsend, but the bathrooms were not clean and the showers did not feel private. There was nothing to put your stuff on but the dirty floor.

I loved the vibe, social side of the hostel! People were super friendly including the staff they really wanted to get to know you and help out.

I had a very positive experience during my stay. I felt really comfortable, the team was always genuinely attentive and nice. The location is convenient, the facilities work well, and everything contributed to making me feel truly welcomed. I would definitely recommend it and would happily return or pass the the other ones in Milan, Florence or Athens.

The staff did the bare minimum, the people staying here were mostly in groups and not very friendly. No privacy curtains, and €250 went missing from my bag. Everything was clean and comfortable though.

Best hostel , i liked

There was no social aspect, the planned events sucked, a bunch of people not at the hostile were at the bar. The shower flooded everytime you used it, no curtains despite a curtain rod. Rooms were clean and has a which was nice though.

I had a great experience. The location was perfect being so close to Termini and multiple bus stops. I felt safe at all times. The facilities were very clean. And I loved how social it was with the bar across the street.

The room I stayed in was a great group of girls who made the stay so enjoyable. There were fun events and I especially appreciated the pasta on the first night!
