We had a very nice stay at Blue Hostel. Great communication from booking through the end of our stay. Host was very accommodating, from carrying our luggage up all the stairs at arrival, to booking our 4am taxi upon departure. Room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Great location... close to train station, shops, cafes and sight seeing. Would definitely recommend when visiting Rome!

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.

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.

The hotel was in a central part of Rome, a nine minute walk from the train station and walking distance to the many of the sites. The hotel staff was friendly and recommended restaurants for us to visit and also gave us advice for how to visit the sites for the least crowded entrances. The room was clean and comfortable. Be prepared to walk up three flights of stairs with luggage though!
