Hotel Details

Location

Located in the city centre, 2 minutes from Santa Maria Maggiore and 400 metres from Vittorio Emanuele Metro Station.
Rome Termini Train Station is 700 metres away, giving direct rail access across the city and to the airport. The Colosseum is 1 km away (a 15-20 minute walk), and Domus Aurea is a 13-minute walk. Rome Ciampino Airport is 13 km from the property; public transit from Termini is the most practical option since no parking is available. The hostel sits on a main road, with easy walking access to the historic centre, public transport, and several nearby restaurants including Trattoria Cecio and Ristorante Tasting within 0.5 km.

Accommodation

The double room includes a shared bathroom with bath, bidet, and shower, plus a work desk and heating.
Rooms are practical for travellers who spend most of their day exploring. The shared bathroom arrangement includes three bathrooms per floor, making morning and evening routines manageable. The work desk is useful for planning daily itineraries. The entire property is non-smoking, helping maintain cleaner air in common areas. Rooms are heated, which is beneficial during cooler months. The hostel is best suited for budget-conscious travellers who value location and cleanliness over private facilities.

Dining

No on-site dining facilities; however, eight restaurants are within a 5-minute walk.
The hostel does not have a restaurant, bar, or breakfast service. For meals, you can walk 0.5 km to options such as Trattoria Cecio (Italian), Ristorante Tasting, or L'Orso Bianco. Mercato Centrale Roma is 0.5 km away for variety. Plan to eat out for all meals, as there is no kitchen for guest use.

Amenities

Shared bathrooms, work desks, heating, and non-smoking throughout. No internet, no parking.
The confirmed services include shared bathrooms with baths, bidets, and showers; a work desk in each room; and heating throughout the property. No internet access is available, so download maps and tickets in advance. No parking is available, making walking, metro (Vittorio Emanuele 400 m), or train (Termini 700 m) the primary transport methods.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Use Vittorio Emanuele Metro Station (400 m) and Rome Termini (700 m) for central sightseeing, including the Colosseum (1 km).

  • 02

    Choose a non-smoking floor room for a fresher environment, as the entire property is non-smoking.

  • 03

    Factor in the 10:00 check-out time to plan your departure day, especially for early metro or train connections.

  • 04

    Plan to walk 13 km from Ciampino Airport; a taxi or shuttle is advisable unless using public transit from Termini.
