YellowSquare Reviews: Rome

My room was above the bar but I had zero noise!

Hi there,

I talk here about my great stay in Rome. During 12 days, I chose this hostel to leave my vacation and I was very pleased to meet new people everyday, improving by this way my english and my italian.
The personal was also very nice and welcoming so I truly recommand this address to have a great Time and great moments with friends. François

The hostel is great, nice ambiances and pretty clean, but maybe the staff could be more friendly and give some tips about the place when we check in. Tha ladies and also the guys just asks for the paymant and gives your keycard, but nothing more than this, because of that my first and second days that were a little.

Everyone I met was very welcoming. The bar was a nice area to spend your time after a day out in the city. The rooms were very comfortable as well. I wish they had AC on at some point but it was bearable without it.

The hostel is located close to Termini station, it has very good transport options. The staff is very nice, and it has a lot of options to have fun with the bar across the street. There is a locker to use for storing your bags if needed.

All in all a very good Hostel. Had a nice stay and met nice people both staff and other guests. Perfect when travelling alone and looking for new people. Kitchen with fridges is perfect, but sometimes some stuff is missing. There are only two small critic points: first the air condition was not running very well and it was only April, so might be better to fix it before summer. And the air extraction in the bathroom was also not working so it was always stuffy inside.

The location was great, walking distance to everything. The hostel is near the Firmino station, clean, easy to find. My only problem was with the air conditioning that didn’t work in my room. Rome is a very hot city and the street was very noisy, so it was impossible to leave the window open at night.

I’d absolutely stay at YellowSquare in Rome or anywhere else they have one again! It was so clean, easy to navigate, had tons of activities and opportunities to meet people & was safe

Great hostel with a nice atmosphere, great activities and the common areas were nice as well! The bar was just across the street and was great as well!

We stayed in a 4 bed room with our own bathroom. It was really comfortable. The room was clean and tidy. The location is calm. It is also in a really good connection to the center and every other location in Rome. The staff was nice. The only thing I wouldn’t recommend is the breakfast across the street.

The personal was exceptional, super nice. The room was okay, it was a good additional the safe.

The only thing is that the bathroom smelled a little bit and it was super tiny.

It was good, the staff was super friendly and attentive. Although the facilities are old, the hostel is very well organized

The staff was so friendly and helpful from the moment I arrived to the moment I left, they assisted with restaurant suggestions (which were fantastic) as well as just things to do and how to get there. They were very patient and knowledgeable. I had so much fun at this hostel and the events they offer are varied and plenty.

It’s my 3rd time in YellowSquare, 2nd time in Roma, and each time I come it’s better than the one before!

The hostel is very well equipped and it’s areas are really useful. The free earplugs are key to have good rest. The beds are pretty good, a bit uncomfortable to climb the ladder but it’s OK, not too noisy. The activities they plan really boost the experience. I loved how everything was set to contribute to meeting new people. Everyone was very friendly.

The location is very perfect to the center and transportation. The room where I stayed is clean and comfortable.

Very nice hostel, clean and helpful staff. Many events for hostel guests available in reception.
Location is not the greatest for touristing around and later night drinks, well connected for during the day and to the Terminal, just not so much happening for beginning of the week.

Good place to sleep and have fun for a few days

Loved the bar, loved the discounts at the bar, and rooms were good. Only shame is that there was no curtain on the beds for a little more privacy, but the individual safes were good too.

I had such a wonderful stat in Rome and this hostel is a place to come back, indeed.

Clean hostel, friendly staff, nice location, …

Very friendly environment, staff is great and very helpful, the rooms are spacious and confortable. Location is excellent, 5 min walk from the train station and 2 min walk from a bus that takes you directly to the Colosseum and to Fontana di Trevi. Made so many friends and the daily activities are very fun. You ca have free pasta for dinner form Monday to Thursday!:) Also you can find pasta (for you to cook), cereal, salt and oil for free in the kitchen!

As a young woman, I felt very safe staying at this very clean hostel as the buildings surrounding it are family-owned restaurants. Bathrooms were clean and provided shampoo and body wash (I would have liked conditioner to be provided as well in the bathroom). They had safes to lock my important belongings in and locker/cage things under the beds to store your bigger belongings (bring your own lock). Easy access to public busses outside and very close to Villa Borghese park! I usually feel gross when I leave a hostel, but I 100% could have stayed an additional week and I wish I did because I didn’t want to leave Rome!

The location is good, close to the train station. The place had all the facilities you would generally need. The bar was lively, with cheap beer and good events/activities going on. The thing I did not like at all was the room. I paid extra for a “superior room” (Room 300) and I think the Italian for superior seems to be different than English..

The only thing I could see that was superior, was the bunk beds were a different style than the regular rooms. Beyond that everything seemed almost worse. The bathroom stunk of urine, you had to lean to one side while sat on the toilet, otherwise the sink was in your ribs. The tiles were grotty and broken. The shower also grotty, was very small, very hard to change while in there and not get your clothes wet from shower spray. And also the rooms main floor was old grotty tiles too. Strangely this rooms looks nothing like the photos from Hostelworld, so I did feel a bit hoodwinked.

Also one more tiny thing, you get 1 power socket next to your bed, and that is in use by the bedside lamp. So you have to choose between light and using the power socket. Also the socket is very high up, so when I had my plug adapter and then phone charger in that. So the whole plug arrangement was hanging out of the wall, not charging properly at times. Luckily I was able to prop the plug up using the lamp. But not ideal, I think there could be a better design.

If you go to Rome you need to stay at the hostel! Definitely coming back

That was my first time in Rome and that was the best way to visit everything. I felt really safe and at home. Staff was really nice. And the atmosphere was amazing, everybody was super helpful and open minded.

The hostel is very well located.
Staff is very friendly and helpful! The kitchen and the shared area, are very comfortable and have a nice atmosphere. The bar in the other side of the street, is really cool, with nice events and also just the opportunity to sit outside.
The rooms are today, the bathrooms are being cleaned more than twice a day I think, so they were also very alright.
All in all I really enjoyed my stay and I’d recommend it!

it was ballin

I loved the dorms. They were so clean and spacious. The toilets and the lockers were also exceptional. I enjoyed my time at the bar and the sunset stroll too. Loved the activities as well such as mixology. Everything was great.

I think the common areas were fantastic and the people were great. But I think the rooms were lacking. They just weren’t very nice. Additionally, I was very frustrated when I arrived and was told that the stay would be more expensive than I anticipated due to the rooms being different prices on different days

In our room D202 was pretty chilly and we couldn’t warm the room, the AC was blowing only cool air and we were pretty much trembling.

As usual, the yellow didn’t disappoint. I am the biggest Yellowsquare stan! The room was spacious, the bathrooms always clean, and the staff is amazing as always. Great vibes and best place to meet people, specially if you are solo traveling.

Guess where so friendly, kind and adorable. Always given their Best and all información we need. My congratulations to Sabrina who was very profesional and made us feel as at Home.

First time staying on a hostel and my experience couldn’t be more pleasent. Rooms cleaned daily, everything organized, the location was great as it was near a metro station. Staff was amazing as well. This was a great experience for a first time staying in a hostel.

Ciao a tutti e grazie mille !!

My sister Nour and I appreciated your welcoming and friendly hospitality. We spent a great time in Rome and we already miss you. hope to be back very soon, until then take good care and keep up the good vibes. Arrivederci, miei amici 🙂

I really had a wonderful experience with u the staff the bar everything was nice but i think you missed something about the tours for tourists or some advice for us to help us discover the city .

This was my first time solo travelling and staying in a hostel and can’t recommend YellowSquare enough! The rooms were good and the bar was amazing, met some great people along the way, will definitely be returning.

Highly highly recommend this place. Great staff and ambiance, excellent location, room was nice (bathroom and floor could use a renovation), assistance was easy to receive and I felt very well taken care of.

The hostel is not as good as it seems online. The people is great!! The staff is the besr of the hostel. But i couldnt sleep st night with all the noice
