A couple of good nights in the hostel!

I spent a couple of super good nights at the hostel, it had very good facilities, everything was very comfortable.

Maybe just one detail is that I had to stay in a room close to the playground so the noise was quite loud around 12:00 (midnight) when I wanted to sleep.

I appreciate that your staff is very customer-oriented. I was happy I was able to change room. The hostel is also in a good location. But in terms of facilities I don’t think I got value for money. The dorm rooms are small and very basic. No tea, coffee and milk provided (I don’t think this would have cost you a fortune). I left YellowSquare feeling it was too expensive.

it was very good, and the activities and the mixology event was nice, also the rooms

I met a few people at the bar and was able to talk to them.
It can be difficult to connect with other travellers in a foreign city, if you don’t know anybody.
But here it was comparatively easy.

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.

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!

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.

The best quality vs price hostel I’ve been in Italy

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.

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.

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!

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.

Great Quality Hostel! One of the best I have stayed in

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)

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

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!

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.
