YellowSquare Reviews: Rome

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!

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.

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.

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.

Clean hostel, friendly staff, nice location, …

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.

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.
