JO&JOE ROMA features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Rome. Featuring a bar, the hostel is close to several noted attractions, around 800 metres from Santa Maria Maggiore, 1.1 km from Cavour Metro Station and 500 metres from Quirinal Hill. The accommodation provides nightclub and a 24-hour front desk.

The mixed dorms offered privacy with the blinds on each side of the bed. The shared bathroom was clean, modern, and always available. I loved the lounge area on the second floor and the access to the open patio and restaurant. Overall, this place has everything, including a great location within walking distance to almost everything. 10 min walk to Rome Termini.

Ostello Bello Roma Colosseo has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Rome. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a 24-hour front desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is 800 metres from Santa Maria Maggiore, and within 1.8 km of the city centre.

Rooms are complete with a private bathroom fitted with a shower, while some units at the hostel also feature a seating area.

The hostel's location is really good. It's near the colosseum and few minutes walk to other sites like Trevi Fountain, Pantheon etc. The washrooms are cleaned everyday. Comfortable beds, decent breakfast. However, when I stayed I didn't really see any group of people together socializing. So you might have to go and initiate conversations with people just sitting and doing their work or drinking. Overall, a good place to stay.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Nice host, who arranged much cheaper taxi back to the airport, than what we paid when we arrived. Very well equiped apartment, including necessary groceries in the kitchen, like olive oil, vinegar, salt, coffee, tea ...

    Really very good budget option for single female travellers as this is female-only hostel rooms There are some double-rooms, but in general, this place feels very safe and beds are surprisingly comfy, not the type you expect from the hostel they have storage rooms (you need lock) and now introduced late night reception, which is AMAZING Also, don't forget common small kitchen facility on 5th floor and terrace on 6th floor Also, i saw they agreed to refund a guy who made a reservation there by mistake - which was very nice of them

    Great location, safe, clean, good value. I hadn't stayed in a hostel since I was single and in my 20s but this time I was there with my two children (ages 9 and 12) and my two parents (in their 70s) and all had a great time. We had private triple rooms (three twin beds and private bathroom) The staff was great, the rooms were comfortable, and the breakfast was good. Would definitely stay here again.
