Alessandro Palace & Bar

#1 is the staff is super friendly and helpful. You can print your boarding passes for free and there is a deposit of 10 euros for a room key. The location is near the central train/​bus station so it’s only about a 5 minute walk there. The rooms vary. The first time we stayed here the room was much cleaner and had it’s own bathroom and shower. The other time it was a community shower/​toilet and it was not as clean. Either way, I’d stay there again when I am back in town.

We had a short stay at this hostel, which we felt thankful for. Our room was not attached to the hostel, we ended up in a weird apartment building across the street. Our room was small and the bathroom hadn’t been cleaned. Location was great because you’re literally 5 minutes from the train station!
The pub tour on Wednesday night was nicely organized by the hostel and fun, just the overall comfort of our room wasn’t ideal.

I recently finished traveling across Italy and while staying in Rome I decided to sleep in the Alessandro Palace. It was by far the WORST hostel I had stayed in. When I came into my room the floors were all sticky and the walls reeked of month old beer. The bathroom was completely flooded and the drain in the shower never worked. To top it off this hostel charges an insane amount of money, to the point where I could have stayed at a nice B&B for the same price.
Avoid the Alessandro Palace at all cost! There are many other nicer places in Rome you could stay at!

Boa localização, próximo a supermercados, bares e a estação Termini. Os funcionários são atenciosos. É oferecido desconto para tomar café da manha no restaurante ao lado por 4 €, vale a pena!

A great hostel with friendly staff. I stayed here with my girlfriend in late August of 2011 and we were sooooooooo damn thankful that each room came with air conditioning! This is definitely a perk because other hotels actually charge extra per night to use A/​C.
There was free food for breakfast and dinner. The bar happy hour was a great money saver. Try the #4 — limoncello!

Excellent Hostel in a convenient location
The staff here was extremely helpful and even recommended an excellent restaurant nearby. The rooms were big, clean, and were well laid out. This is one of the nicer hostels I’ve ever stayed in. I would definitely stay here again during my next visit to Rome.
If you need easy access to Termini station, definitely stay here.

Location: right next to the termini station, where all the trains stop and also next to another station. Good location, easy to find, lots of dining places around.
Rooms: very roomy, even in includes air conditioner! But the lockers were small, only fit personal items. You have to leave your keys in order for the lights and AC to work… Which was weird. Loud at night time because its on top o a bar. Bathrooms and shower in the room. Pretty clean unless you have a dirty roommate. I had this old lay who left her underwear hanging and had no towels so she wiped herself down with towel paper and threw it on the floor. Wtf right?! They should put a age limit to hostels. Only 40 year and under. Geez. Also no curfew so 2 girls always came in drunk, and one slept in the bathroom the whole night while the other was screaming at her to open the door, cuz her friend in the bathroom was barfing everywhere. This was like at 3am. And in the morning the bathroom was full of barf and the smell. Gosh, no consideration!
Wifi works everywhere. No free breakfast, cost 3 euros, free sheets. Reception staff was really helpful and nice.
Overall a pretty decent hostel located near the train station, very convenient. And if you don’t mind staying in a room of 8 then it’s cool. Let’s just hope you don’t get the nasty old lady or the 2 drunken girls.
