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.
Loved this hostel! Rooms were spacious, bunk beds were comfortable and didn’t creak. Very clean space with lots of social activities you could join in on.
I had such a good time here! The staff are amazing and the beds are comfortable. The events were really fun and the bar is great!
It is a comfy hostal but its not as clean as other I stayed in, so it was a little annoying that
It was very fun and very exciting
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:/
I had a good stay, the rooms were pretty clean and the staff were super friendly and helpful. I really appreciate the pasta and aperitivo every night.
The hostel is very clean and well located, and also The reception is very helpful
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.
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!
The entire experience was great, people i met in the room were cool. And so much to enjoy in the bar and the free meal is but a cherry on top. Smart concept.
Great hostel with good vibe. Bar and restaurant across the road really adds to the experience. My group of 10 throughly enjoyed the stay.
We had wonderful time at yellow square . The team was great and will definitely recommend to my friends
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!
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.
Clean, safe, fun, with a study place and a common kitchen and events! For such a price, its crazy! Recommended!
Amazing young hostel with perfect Bed and full of super people. I really like yellow bar below and a free drink and pasta.
Staff was very welcoming and friendly, room was clean and felt safe, very lively and comfortable atmosphere!
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.
We had a lovely stay. Friendly staff and nice environment. Although it’s a bit noisy at night, we will still choose to stay here again.
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.
I Always have an Amazing time at YellowSquare, Rome! (Private Room)
Adding a few bus tours, Shopping, Both Local and Fine dining,
and ending several nights at The Yellow Club, Made for THE Complete
Magnificent, Rome experience!
Wow, it was my first hostel stay and what a peasant stay it was.. Hostel staff was supper friendly and helpful.. the vibe were there and all the facilities were nice. Room were clean with nice small code locker on bed too.. overall good comfort and oh yeah they have the nice yellow bar to chill and party…
Big space of the room and keep bathroom clean everyday, have good taste of the bar and restaurante, and very enjoy the free pasta every night.
Very good hostel keep it up
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.
Everything is perfect, rooms, bathrooms, staff, free drink and pasta. Thank you guys.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful experience I had during my stay at your hotel. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment, from the quality of service to the cleanliness and the peaceful, welcoming atmosphere.
You have truly set a great example of excellence and professionalism. I wish you continued success and prosperity. I look forward to staying with you again in the future and will gladly recommend your hotel to my friends
Wishing you all the best in continuing to provide such exceptional experiences.
Warm regards,
YellowSquare is truly an amazing hostel, from the staff to the bar I enjoyed every second of my stay there.
I met great people during the week I spent and it almost felt like a family. Thanks for everything !
It was overall nice, the only thing what could have been better or at least announced is that the storage space in the rooms needs personal lockers. But apart from that I was totally happy!
Very nice place, with nice people and a short walk from the main train station
I stayed there for a week and the experience was outstanding with amazing people.
Good people, good price, good activities in a magical city. What else?
