YellowSquare Reviews: Rome
YellowSquare Rome is located a 10-minute walk from the city center and is a solo-traveler friendly base. We offer female-only dorms, shared dorms, and private ensuite rooms for all types of travelers. If you need to get work done, Smartsquare is our professional coworking space. For food and social vibes, Yellow Bar is our main restaurant and events hub, while the Arcade hosts stand-up comedy and activities in the basement. It’s the perfect place to meet travellers, grab a drink, go for stroll with new friends and connect with our global community.
Super clean with big bunks in the dorms. Met some cool people there and really enjoyed my stay!
The rooms were super clean and airy, with plenty of space.
First time in a hostel and a very good experience!
Everything was fine, but in my mixed room there were one 18 y old girl who got too drunk and made a mess in the room during the night. From midnight to 5 am talking loud and wanting to leave for some party that didnt exist. The staff asked me to be aware for her, so I am my cousin were. We did not let her get outside because it was not safe for her in those conditions. All ok with that! Sometimes we need to take care of someone, however what happened the next day was that something I didnt like.
I went to the reception and told what happened and asked the staff to be aware for her and if she was drinking a lot again that night I would like to change rooms or change her. What was told me is ” it´s a drinking hostel and it is normal”. They couldn´t do anything.
Not cool from the part of the staff. Except that, everything was nice!
I really liked my experience in YellowSquare, there were activities for guests, there were free cooking ingredients, a big kitchen space, discounts for guests at the bar, coworking space, cheap laundry services, big locker spaces, soap at the showers, a nice hidden garden, a place to get a haircut, it is located outside the cazy crowd area, but close to the termini, a metro station and bus stops.
The dorms are clean and have A/C. The showers and toilets in the room were clean, though quite small. The beds were comfy and there were safes for valuables.
Hostel events were a mixed bag, they were kinda improvised and didn’t really help to meet people. The bar is nice, the drinks are relatively cheap. Towels were only a euro, good deal.
Very Clean. Nice Staff. Beds are comfy. Lockers are Big. Great sozial Events. You can meet people easily. Food options are good.
It’s a bit far from the Centre but manageable
The hostel is very well located and the employees are always kind and offering help. The common areas are OK.
The stuff was well organised and took care immediatly, when there was smth to help🙃. A lot of warmhearted and chatty people around. The 4 Bedroom was also tiptop. 👍🏽
Clean, quiet, near to Termini and old city, friendly staff
I really liked my stay at Yellow Square and I would certainly seek it out again in the future. The staff had a great attitude and the environment was always good.
Super clean, social but not loud, bar area is fun
great experience
My favorite experience honestly was the YellowBar. I wish the DJ played music longer but other than that it was a jam. I think the live music was great too. The staff are all friendly and willing to help.
The room was lovely, the people were amazing and the yellow bar across the road was fantastic !! Loved everything and it was close to the station so getting around was so easy.
Everything was great except for the showers that were a little tight(it was clean enough). I will probably go back to this place but would like to see some improvement in the bathroom area.
The hostel itself was great, the staff and other guests were lovely. The bar was great but closed very early unfortunately, and the staff at the bar were not informed of events the hostel advertised which were supposed to take place at the bar (ie: free pasta night) which led to misinformation.
Genuinely a great stay. We booked a private room and it was clean and beds were comfy. Staff were lovely and helpful.
Nice location, the staffs are very friends, good bar to meet people or have a night in Rome
Super friendly and helpful staff! Great atmosphere- you can chill out if you want or get crazy it’s totally up to you. Rooms and bathrooms were very clean, just know there’s only one toilet/shower per floor.
I liked the property very much! I think it was a bit expensive but i liked that there are many activities inside the hostel. The common area was very good to meet people, the rooms were very good and clean and I had an overall great experience and attention from the hosts. Would recommend!
This hostel adds sooo much value for what you pay for. Me personally, I loved the fact there was a co-working space for free, along with the free dinners. In terms of the room, it can be a bit noisy but the reception also provides you free earplugs which is such a win. The staff are super nice (special shout out to my friend Fritzz). The showers are pretty small but honestly you don’t notice with the rest of the value from the hostel. Met so many amazing people, was a great start to my journey.
my friend and i shared one of the female only dorms with two other people & we were lucky to get along with them. everything was really clean and organized and we had no trouble figuring out how to work things even though we don’t speak much italian. the staff was great & helpful and our stay was pretty much entirely relaxing. the only thing we had trouble with was when people were singing so late it was difficult to fall asleep. that being said we also understand that this hostel is known as a place to party & make connections! (the singing was pretty good too haha)
Great great place ! Everything that you could need travelling.. staff very kind ,Laura and Julio are the best ..
They have activities every day and also free pasta(dinner) with drink Monday to Thursday. 100% recommended..
I had a great experience at Yellowsquare. The receptionists were so kind, the bedding smelled clean & WAS clean. They ordered me a taxi no problem & were so incredibly helpful. As a female, I felt so safe.
I have already shared a Google review regarding this. We were expecting the common washrooms to be clean. However, the basin and toilet were covered in puke. The washroom was stinking
My first time in hostels however it was very nice and I enjoyed knowing new people also felt comfortable and safe.
This was my first time staying at a hostel, and I must say the experience was so much better than I could have imagined! All of the staff was extremely kind and helpful, and the planned activities were always a blast! If I’m ever back in Rome I would 100% stay here again!
It’s a nice place, I met incredible and talented people, it was a really amazing night in the hostal.
I was traveling alone for the first time, and this place was super nice and made me feel very safe. The front desk attendants were always incredible helpful and nice when I had a question and the hostel had multiple events every day to sign up for (like pasta making and Pictionary). My room had two locked doors in between reception and the room: one to get to the rooms on that floor and one to get into the room. There was also a bathroom inside the female only dorm which isn’t always the case with hostels so I liked that. The location was also perfect because it is less than 10 minutes from Termini which is a train station that can take you to Rome center or to the airport.
Easy check in, and the bar was pumping. The bed was slightly uncomfortable but its a hostel so no big deal
Unbelievable good place. People from every nation, a great welcome at reception with everything explained well and lots of free goodies and a free welcome beer. Super bar and events and parties daily.
Great great facilities and location.
Simply the best hostel in Rome!
Had a great first experience at a hostel! Will come back again!
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
This was my first hostel experience, definitely would recommend this hostel.
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.
