I stayed four nights with my mom, who is 67, and it was a great experience.
All the activities are meant to be for young people, but it was even fun and enjoyable for my mom!
We really enjoyed the free pasta and every time we had breakfast.

A very social hostel with daily activities at the bar across the street. The shared rooms are clean (as well as the bathrooms) and spacious. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. I will definitely stay here again or at another hostel from the same company.

This is the third time I have chosen to stay here, and I am pleased with my choice. I plan to stay here whenever I come to Rome. It has a clean service, the possibility of a working space, and friendly staff. Overall, my stay here has been a very pleasant experience.

The yellow bar had many nice activities during the day and night. The kitchen tho was a bit small and it was hard finding knives, forks and plates. We also experienced that the guests staying at our hostel ate all our food – even though we had written our names and date on it:/

The hostel is less than 10’ from Termini station which is great to move around Rome by train or metro. There are lots of restaurants in the area and it’s safe. The negative point for me was the communal kitchen. There aren’t that many seats around that table. You can’t really take your plate and eat somewhere else as there’s no table in the leisure area.
Concerning the room, the beds were comfy and the room was spacious. There are big lockers for the bags. The curtains on the beds were missing which wasn’t the case in other rooms. Also, there was no desk in ours.
There’s a separate shower, which was literally a closet with no shelf and no space to put your stuff. Adding a little hook for the hand towel and a shelf above the sink would be great as you’ll have to either put them on the floor or put them back in your suitcase. More hooks for jackets and clothes would be much appreciated.

Amazone stay at YellowSquare Rome

We stayed five days in a female dormitory at Yellow Square Rome and we liked it a lot! The staff is really kind and helpful, the rooms are clean and modern, numerous activities organised in the evening, and discounts offered at the bar. And the location is great, only a 10min walk from the train station. We had a great time !

Everybody was kind and helpful. The staff was very much into making people connect at various group activities. The yellowBar in the same street is a great one, especially because it works as a bar itself and there are not only people from the hostel who are hanging out there. I met a lot of great people!

Best Hostel

I had an incredible stay at YellowSquare Hostel in Rome! From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. The staff was super friendly and helpful, always ready to give recommendations or assist with any questions. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with secure lockers for peace of mind.

What really sets this hostel apart is the social vibe—there are plenty of common areas, events, and activities that make it easy to meet fellow travelers. The on-site bar and restaurant had great food and drinks at reasonable prices, and the nightlife options were fantastic! The location is also a huge plus—just a short walk from Termini Station, making it convenient for getting around the city.

If you’re looking for a fun, comfortable, and social place to stay in Rome, I highly recommend YellowSquare. I would definitely stay here again!

Amazing Location, Amazing Staff, A Mixed Bag of Guests

80
/100

This hostel is in a prime location for travellers, less than 5 mins from the main terminal which connects to the whole city. The facilities are nice and the staff were super friendly. Check in starts from 3pm which is slightly inconvenient as I arrived at 10am, but there is bag storage so you can go and make the most of the day.

A free drink, free pasta at 6:30, and a 20% discount on all drinks at the hostel bar is fantastic. However, Rome is full of amazing places for aperitivo so it’s a good way to meet fellow travellers but you should really only spend 1 night there at most. Go explore the city!

Now, my experience with my dorm was good and bad. I stayed in the mixed dorms for 2 nights and luckily I had a nice batch of people who I went for a drink with on the 1st night. Very wholesome. 2nd night some people had left and new ones arrived… and one of them came in at 2am really drunk and threw up all over another guy’s belongings and the floor, starting an argument. It stank. Not a nice experience. This is only one instance of someone being really stupid, but you could get anyone in your room so be prepared or pay for a private room if you can afford it.

Overall, I was there for the city and just needed a cheap place to stay, and the hostel did its job. Can’t ask for more than that.

The hostel is great! The staff in the recepction and in the bar are very friendly and informative and the rooms were clean and very equiped, with the lockers being really big (I stayed at the four mixed people room). Also, the location next to Roma Termini made it easier to get around the city, and the free pasta offer was a reaaally great addition to the experience

Ive visiting yellow square a few times in Rome. This was always a very nice experience.
Not this time, they closed the club in the basement end replaced it with beerpong and kareoky. Even on saturday nights when it is very bad organised. Ive met some nice people like i always do, but next time a different hostel.

I stayed in YellowSquare for 4 nights and my overall experience was really good. The room was clean and had all the necessary items. Staff was nice and both check-in/check-out process’ were easy. The only issue I had was the door slamming sound during the night. Whenever someone entered to the floor and closed the door I’d wake up. There were free ear plugs in reception to use. They prevented all the other sounds except the sound of the door but I have asked my roommates and they said they didn’t hear it during the night. If you are a lightsleeper that may be a problem but other than that it was all fine. All the other travelers I have met were nice and never had any safety problems.

I really likes the hostel, I loved the elevator, the lockers in the room and the hospitality of the staff.
I would only recommend having a curtain in each bed in the shared rooms for more privacy.

the hostel being in two separate buildings, both with stairs, was not very good. also the shower being separate from the bathroom was kinda bothering cause it lacked space.

Good option in Rome

/100

Yellow square is a good option for staying in Rome, because the price is just, and it’s near to Roma Termini. The beds are okay.
The kitchen is a mess, and it’s not because the cleaning lady doesn’t do her job, it’s because the guests always leave everything dirty and steal other people’s food. The bar is very noisy all nights.
