I loved every day I spent at the hostel, great and cheerful atmosphere with amazing people. I loved the parties, the atmosphere, and the great company.
All amazing, the activities, the people was just the best environment.
its not the worse thing ever but like for the price i wouldnt recommend it
i booked a 4 dorm female and i was with two woman who were respectively 46 and 48
how is it possible when the limit is 45 i dont know
they slept at 10 pm on new year and woke me up at 5 in the morning the day after
so not ideal
most of the activities i wanted to do were canceled last minute because not enough people
Amazing people, amazing staff, amazing room. Everything was perfect. The location near the train station is very convenient and the historic center of Rome is at around 30 minutes by walk.
The free pasta every evening save my life a few times.
My stay was awesome. The staff is very polite and high energy. I met so many cool people. Would definitely stay again
I had a very good stay at this hostel. The beds are comfortable and the place is really clean overall. The rooms, kitchen, and common areas are cleaned regularly and very well maintained. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare food, and it was always clean. The living room is a great shared space with internet and a computer, perfect for relaxing and meeting other travelers.
The staff were kind and helpful. Mateo was especially nice and supportive, he even helped me when my phone was stolen by a pickpocket, which I really appreciated. Even though I did not have time to go to the bar, there were always people around willing to help, and the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming.
The only downside was the toilet smell. Even though it was cleaned every day, there was a strange odor that did not go away, even after I bought something to improve it. I am not sure where the smell was coming from.
Despite that, I really enjoyed my stay. It is a clean, social, and comfortable place, great for meeting nice people. I would still recommend it and I am thankful for the great service.
Everything was good, I enjoyed my stay. I didn’t like how water from the shower door would drip onto the common area floor. I wish towels were free, but I did like how they provided ear plugs, and a personal safe.
The vibe of the hostel was really good. I really enjoyed the pasta dinner and free drink at the bar. the food options at the bar were really good. I like the kitchen and coomom working space as well.
I did not like the condition of the room. The bed mattress was sunken in the middle; moreover, the washroom was really small, and the shower did not have hot water. The hostel really needs to renovate the rooms.
Moreover, the vending machine was not working
Look no further for the kind, fun, love filled space to make new friends and experience the best while in Rome!!! I am so so so grateful for this place and the staff. Truly exceptional service and they went above and beyond to help me in any way they could. The front desk, bar staff, and even Dj Marco were SO kind. Until we meet again!!!
The experience was overall great. The food and drinks were quality, atmosphere is welcoming and fun. Clean facilities. My only complaint is the room was hot, AC did not seem to work very well, and I was there in December.
I really enjoyed my stay. Staff are great and the facilities are really good.
Everything was grea, the staff the location the parties
Very nice stay with wonderful reception staff. Easy to get into the city and see the sites. The only negative was that there was some mold in the shower. Otherwise the bathroom and room was clean and well maintained.
Great staff, great facilities, great location. Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Thank you!
Bar area great, very sociable in general with plenty to get involved in. Standard rooms, no complaints there. Easy location too!
Great stay overall! The location is super convenient, just a short walk from Roma Termini, which meant I didn’t have to linger around the notoriously dodgy station area. The hostel’s in-house bar was always lively at night and had a very welcoming vibe if you want to join the fun. Plenty of restaurants and shops surround the place, so everything you need is close by.
Overall many major things need improvement:
Cleanliness (the bed frame was very dusty, air quality inside the room (no proper ventilation), renovation standard inside the room and particualy in the washroom with old plastics, take away breakfast standard and the fact that breakfast start very late (7.30 am) so I couldn’t have it and had to take a take away box which was very poor quality.
It was my first time in a hostel and it was a wonderful experience. I felt very safe the entire stay. The room is amazing and the fact that we had a bathroom only for us made a huge difference in comfort and practicality. The clean service of our room was amazing. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The activities at the hostel are really fun and the Yellow Bar is a good place to hang out at night and meet new people!
Because the beds are made entirely out of metal, they are quite loud. It’s fine, but just hard to be quite if you are leaving early morning or coming in late at night.
As for the wifi, it kept disconnecting and reconnecting. It was a strong signal but during busy hours (e.g. at bed time) it would be really spotty and would disconnect and reconnect repeatedly.
Goid beds, super bar and breakfast
Nice and spacious hostel but the beds were uncomfortable and loud
I loved my stay here. The staff were very kind and helpful, the room and en suite were clean and cozy, and the location is great! I would definitely stay here again.
I was really nervous about staying at a hostel, but the best decision I made for my solo trip to Rome was staying at the Yellow Square. It’s only a 10 minute walk to Termini Station and close to other sites as well. The staff were all wonderful and very helpful. And I got to meet people there from all over the world that I became quick friends with. It was truly a great experience!
Is a good place with nice people.
Yellow Square Rome is one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at in Europe. The atmosphere is super social but still comfortable — perfect whether you’re traveling solo or with friends. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help with recommendations or bookings.
The rooms and bathrooms are kept very clean, and the beds are comfortable. The location is unbeatable — easy walking distance to Termini station, restaurants, and major attractions. The connected bar downstairs is a huge plus, great for meeting people and enjoying live music or events in the evening.
Overall, it’s got the perfect mix of fun, comfort, and convenience. Definitely recommend staying here if you’re visiting Rome!
The rooms were comfortable and well kept and the communal spaces were amazing and fostered great conversations! I especially loved the culture of the restaurant/bar!
The area of this hostel it’s really good, just 5 min about the Termini station. The rooms it’s clean. The little bad point is the laudry, 2 washing machine it’s too little compared to the number of rooms.
From tge moment I checked until I checked out everything was absolutely incredible. The bed and sheets were clean it’s a central location , highly social and events every night. The staff and stayers were all super sweet and helpful. So much someone definitely book again! The rooms are accessed with a key and beds have big lockers underneath . Everyone was super respectful of each other especially in the morning and night. 10/10 highly recommend best hostel I ever stayed at!!!
Had a good experience with YellowSquare Rome, beds and rooms were okay and clean, except for the bathroom in the six mixed dorm. Black moult everywhere, really gross, due to no ventilation.
I had a good experience here at Yellow. I arrived early and was able to store my luggage for free and chill out at their bar/cafe until my room was ready. There is plenty of space to hang out outside of the rooms, both if you are looking to socialize or if you prefer time alone. The kitchen is perfect with lots of space, kitchen supplies, basics for cooking, and everything is always clean. The dorms are nice and cozy and the bathrooms work just fine. There aren’t any curtains, but the girls in my room put up their extra sheet as a curtain. It is a 5-10 minute walk from Roma Termini, which has all the transportation you need to travel around the city.
I had a great time and it’s a decent location, loved that they gave you a welcome drink and pasta and the bar is a great way to meet friendly people but the room was extremely small and staying in the top bed is kinda uncomfy and loud, the bathroom was also really small and didn’t feel really clean.
Great place, safe, confortable and well located.
great structure and helpful staff, would definitely come back
I’ve been travelling London, Paris and Edinburgh, NY, recently, this hostel is the best so far.
The first thing I focus is the cleaniness, that’s 9/10.
The second is the security, 9/10, it provides the security locker, you just need to bring your own lock.(it’s small lock). Also there are some hangers. The bed there is no curtain that’s a bit unfortunate.
Also there is a dryer in the washroom, amazing! There is also a kitchen area, you can store your food here. (but someone may take your food, i got banana and croissant missed… could that person just buy by himself/herself :(((.) Location is also convenience, 10 mins to Termini by walking. If i have a second visit, I definitely will live there again:)))
Clean facilities. Fun atmosphere. Close to train station. Respectful staff. Overall great experience.
the staff was very kind and helpful. the common area was great and the kitchen had all the supplies needed. the breakfast was totally worth it. the bar was very welcoming and nice. room was very clean and the bed comfortable.
