Reasonable for the price

Location is good, close to the train station and subway, also a walking distance to the Coliseum. However, the hostel is very basic if comparing with others in Europe for the same price. It was okay, though, no problems.

基本的に問題なし！

コストを考えたらいいホステル！ 夜はちょっと周りが怖めだけど、でも歩けない！ってほどではない。 2段ベットの高さがないので下にすると窮屈だった。 お湯出るのがまちまちだったのが最大のマイナスポイントかな、、 スタッフは優しいし、部屋も広いし、ロッカーもあるので基本的にはいいと思いました！

The best hostel in Roma

This place was great! I felt very welcomed and the staff was helpful in every way. The front desk showed me where important spots were including the closest ATM and good shops to buy supplies for a budget minded traveler such as myself. The breakfast is amazing. You can go back up and get as many platefuls of bacon and eggs as you like! I'm a big breakfast eater so this was a lifesaver for me. The breakfast staff were very passionate about providing a plate full of food and a warm smile every time. Also got to hear some cool music while eating. The beds were comfortable and heater worked well. This was a wonderful experience. It is close to everything I mean everything. I would highly recommend Alessandro Downtown Hostel to anyone. You can't beat the price either!

Good for a short stay

The location of the hostel is pretty good, very close to the station Roma Termini and 20min away from the Colosseum. The staff is friendly, however the hostel does not accept payments through cards. Besides that, the breakfast is limited. The beds were very noisy and a bit uncomfortable. Overall a good place to stay for a short trip.

宿泊税3.5ユーロ、フロントは24時間オープン

２回目の宿泊です。前回と特に変わりはありませんが、前回書かなかったことを補足します。 宿泊税が別途1泊3.5ユーロかかります。これは、近くのホテルだと6ユーロとられたので、まぁそんなものかなといったところです。なお、デポジット2ユーロかかるので、最初に5.5ユーロ支払うことになります。チェックアウト時にルームキーを返却すると2ユーロ返ってくる仕組みです。なお、ルームキーはかなりボロいです。1度、キーが全く機能せずフロントで交換してもらったことがあります。なので、キーを受け取ったら、ちゃんと機能するか確認して入室した方がいいです。（たまたまドアが開いていたからといって鍵を使わず入室するようなことはしない方がいいという意味です） フロントは24時間やってますので、深夜のチェインも、早朝のチェックアウトも問題なくできました。

寝るだけが目的ならコスパ最高

テルミニ駅からとても近く、寝るだけが目的ならコスパは最高だと思います。ドミトリーの各ベッドには電源と小さなライトがついているので、充電や深夜の明かりをつけての荷物チェックなど問題なくできます。廊下のトイレやシャワールームにも不満は特にありませんでした。

테르미니역에서 2분 거리로 매우 가깝고 6인 도미토리였는데 여자들끼리만 써서 편안했습니다. 방이 굉장히 크고요. 개인 콘센트 개인 전등 있고, 공용 화장실&샤워실도 깔끔하며 뜨거운 물 잘 나왔어요. 다만 철제 침대가 좀 흔들리는 편이고 샤워기가 벽에 고정되어 있으며 밤에 난방이 별로 안되서 추웠어요. 덕분에 감기 걸렸네요. 치안은 저는 6시까지는 귀가했어서 그렇게 위험하다는 생각은 안 들었고, 리셉션 근처에 짐 보관하는 방이 있어서 체크인 전이나 체크아웃 후에 무료로 둘 수 있어요. 다만 자물쇠는 걸어놓는게 좋습니다.

One of the better packpacker places I've stayed at in Western Europe. Very close to Roma Termini so less stress about continuing your Italian journey on time or returning to Fiumicino airport. An easy walk to the Metro at Termini where you can get trains to the Vatican and Colosseum. A great experience.

BedBugBites

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hello - I stayed at the Alessandro Downtown Hostel Rome, Rome (province), Italy from Wed, Sep 18 - Sun, Sep 22. During my stay I was bitten by bed bugs. My hand was extremely swollen with the first bite. I communicated this to the staff and they noted they didn't find anything upon investigation. The staff who reviewed my bed area did mention he was not a professional with bed bugs and wasn't certain about what to look for. The staff at the front desk admitted they've had an issue with bed bugs. Sun 9/22 I talked to the 2 front desk staffs (Michael and other man) extensively about the issue and they also called the Manager named Ovens. Ovens wasn't willing to do anything else about the issue except change the room and laundry. That night, I received another bite. On Monday morning, I found a bed bug on my clothing and I have photo and video footage of it. It is outrageous that the hotel refused to do anything about this issue and that it appears to be recurring based on feedback online. Expedia should be aware of this as this is a serious health issue that is going unattended by the hostel and is putting people's lives and wellness at risk. I paid for a place to stay and had certain expectations. I did not pay to risk my health and potentially have additional medical expenses.
