YellowSquare Reviews: Rome

Friendly staff, big rooms, great location and cool vibes everywhere. I will definitely book to stay here again.

The staff were very nice and helpful, and the stay was okay!

10 minutes walking from Termini train station, this hostel has everything you need for a comfortable stay in Rome.
Clean dorms, non-squeaking bunk beds, fairly clean toilets. Soap and hairdryers in the toilets are a good plus!
Furnished kitchen, nice rest area, bar and coworking (free for guests) right across the street.
Very nice and friendly staff.

We chose a shared room of 8, we were in a room divided in two parts of 4 and 4 people. We had two horrible roommates who smoked in the shared bathroom, ate in the middle of the night and woke us up at 3 and 4 in the morning when they came back drunk from partying. The bar and shared areas were fine but the bathroom was too small to share with 8 people and was quite dirty. The room was just ok. The best part was the staff who took great care of us, helped us and gave us recommendations. Thanks a lot guys!

Everyone is very friendly. The dormitories are nice. A lot of humidity though.

Our stay at Yellow square was great! Close to the train station and walking distance from the center of Rome. Very communal ambiance, helpful front desk people that offered great recommendations, and clean rooms! I highly recommend Yellow square and will be staying at their other location when traveling!

I really enjoyed my stay with Yellow Square. The variety of activities is great and all of the staff are so nice. Pasta Workshop was amazing. The bar across the street is perfect to meet new people!

Really recommend this place! The location is 9 minutes away from Roma Termini train station. The prices are reasonable and the staff is very friendly!

From the Amazing Staff, brilliant people, and best bar ever, I have never had a better experience at yellow square. I have met lifelong friends in both travellers and staff and the yellow square bar provides the best social experiences every night. I have never had such fun as I did at Yellow Square Rome. Go, you won’t regret it!

We stayed in a 6 bedroom dorm. It was spacious enough. Room service cleaned the room everyday that was nice. It is close to the train station, bars , restuarant and local market. Quick walk. The shared spaces at the hostel are lovely!

Would definitely recommend

The only issue I had was the noise coming from the bar at night that didn’t let me sleep , you should think about getting some isolation to the dorms , thank you.

On the day of my arrival all my roommates also arrived which was nice because this resulted in us all getting together and explore Rome the first couple of days. The staff is nice but they do only hang out around their station area. So they will be hanging around the reception desk or the bar without moving to help you.

What I liked best about this hostel is that it is clean, has lockers next to the bed is and very social. I met some great people sharing the room with me and there are activities organised as well (though I didn’t have time to go for these). There’s a bar right across with discounts for guests too!
What I didn’t like was that there was one day that we didn’t have hot water and the shower head was broken. However, staff replaced it immediately the next day. Otherwise, 10/10.

Great facilities and activities, only problem shower was freezing

Clean quiet friendly stuff!!

I loved the people who worked here, those who went here and just the overall vibe of the place. However, I hated the lockers at the end of the bed, for I would constantly accidentally kick it. The darned item even woke me up once.

The space is incredible, the staff is wonderful. Inside the hostel there is everything. I couldn’t be happier with this reservation.
I hope to come back soon, or try the other yellow square hostels

Honestly a lovely stay in Rome. It was my first time staying in a hostel and YellowSqaure has set the bar high. There was a problem with my original room and the staff was so accommodating and put me in a different room very fast. The room was very clean and had just enough privacy.

Very friendly staff, easy check in. Lots of fun things offered on site, lots included (yellow tag for 20% off drinks at the bar, coffee in reception in the mornings, 1 free drink of choice when you arrive, free pasta during the week). The rooms was very clean and modern, lockers and security safe provided. The only thing I didn’t like was that the room was very hot, AC temp didn’t appear to change, despite setting to a lower temperature. The hostel is well priced and very easily located/situated. The amenities are very good, and I could store my bag for the day for £1 after I checked out.

“I had an incredible experience at the hostel in Rome. Not only did I feel safe throughout my stay, but the environment was also highly interactive. The staff and the volunteers went above and beyond, genuinely caring for and addressing all our needs. The location was incredibly convenient, making it easy to explore the city. The activities provided were not only enjoyable but also added a fun dimension to the overall experience. I especially appreciated the individual safes for guests and the lively bar, where the staff was both kind and helpful. My stay was so memorable that I find myself wanting to revisit Rome just to reexperience the exceptional hospitality of this hostel.”

4 day in that hostel , people who worked there was really friendly , and memory that i got are amazing

Matress and room are clean , bathroom is clean too

The bar the kitchen , everything was perfect
I recommand it

My greetings to the staff

Simply the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in! All the staff very well trained and friendly (especially Sabrina). Extremely clean and comfortable. I felt like I was in a hotel. The hostel bar is a great place to make friends, not to mention all the perks you get from staying there. I’ve never seen anything like it. Incredible!

Everton and Sabrina are the best! Good people, gentle and helpfull. See yah

Technically the place has most of what you need. But it’s very average quality in all areas.
Having booked a private twin room it would have been nice to have at least a kettle. But you see, the place is riddled with rule charts and limitations. Before even entering, under the door number it states ‘no food, no drinks, no smoking’. When you pay the price they set, it’d be nice to have the freedom to eat in your room. Being an adult this is condensending beyond belief. Following on from that, you have a “dos and don’ts” by the window reminding you not to “throw things out the window” but to instead “practise meditation”. The ‘totally like chill vibe ‘ that’s obviously held core at reception is absent in the rooms. Even the shampoo bottle tells you to turn the water off while you use it in the shower. Typical of a business that tries too hard to be something other than primarily caring for their customers.

It is obnoxious in a way that it must have taken a high level of creativity to arrive at.

Bathroom is essentially a closet with a shower. Water takes 5 minutes to get hot if you’d even call it hot. Heating wasnt a free choice. Blankets are paper thin. Mattresses slide off the frame so sitting up in bed isn’t comfortable. Noise can be an issue, walls appear paper thin.

The location is decent and hygiene was adequate. But once again, pair that with the price and it really leaves you no other choice but to consider elsewhere.

Clean hostel, very social and easy to meet people, staff is polite, room was nice and big enough.

Had a great stay at the hostel exceeded all my expectations and would happily return when in Rome again

I stayed for two nights. It was very good. No complaints. free drinks and free pasta added to the value. Staffs were also amazing. Rooms and bathrooms were both tidy and clean.

Good position, clean hostel.

It was my second time at Yellow Square. Everything was great, staff cleanness, bed, bathroom. Loved it. Would stay again for sure

There is more need for cleaning at the rooms, the staff is the best about it, but the lack of clean sheets and towels is something that should be a must.

Nice and good service

Overall, everything was good (special thanks for the co-working space!) but there is some room for improvement:
– the bathroom door in the dorm was hard to close – it’d be a good idea to change the locker type
– the bathroom itself wasn’t in the best condition with its broken hangers and quite old renovation in general
– sleeping on the bad next to the door and the bathroom is quite annoying – maybe think about moving beds?
– WIFI didn’t work properly everywhere
– No duvet cover but only a bedsheet so you can’t tuck the blanket into it which is absolutely inconvenient

I think its much better than others similar places.
