I was on the impression that this was a hotel. Of course for someone that lives in the US and that doesn’t know what a hostel is this place was a disappointment. It is not what is advertised on the website. This is a room in a building with no elevator and my 72 year husband had to climb 3 set of stairs with approximately 20 stairs each. The air conditioner did not work properly and Rome was super hot. I think the description should be more accurate this way people can decide whether they want to stay there or not.

Even with the street address and Google Maps, we could not find this place. We wandered for 20 minutes looking for it. (It's between the Chinese restaurant and the barber shop.) Alessandro to the rescue! I texted him on WhatsApp, and he literally came out onto the street and waved down. He then carried my heavy suitcase up three flights of stairs like it was nothing. He was so kind and friendly. We LOVED the location near Santa Maria Maggiore. Three blocks from Roma Termini and Metro, and we felt so safe through three locked doors. The neighborhood has a grocery store and laundromat within 2 minutes, plus lots of restaurants and gelato close by. Cleaning service came every day and refilled our water bottles. The only downside was the a/c fan never stopped blowing, so we were freezing at night, and there were no extra blankets. (No, turning up the temperature, didn't help. It was the fact that the fan never stopped blowing.)

Great 2 day stay

It's not a hostel, more like a family run boutique hotel. It was exactly what we needed for 2 days in Rome. Great recommendations from our host. Comfortable, clean and convenient to Roma Termini. Would stay here again.

The room was close enough to walk everywhere two minutes from a square that offered streets in all directions with all the amenities you could ask for. The hosts were wonderful people and we enjoyed meeting them. We were running late on check in day but they were very patient and thorough with us and shared everything we needed to know. The room was great and cleaned every day. Thank you for a great experience. Jeff-Toronto

Nice place but watch out for stairs.

Great location near the Termini train station and a nice place to stay. However, there are 4 flights of stairs so you have to be in shape as it is a climb.
