The write up said a 4 bed female dorm and it actually ended up being a run down cheap tent with shady tin bunk beds and filthy old matresses. There were ants running around everywhere inside and no linens were provided. When I went to front desk to hire linen they offered napki thing temporary sheets. (I should have kept the blanket from the airplane because it would have provided better warmth.) It turned very cold at night and without any insulation it was a terrible sleep. Definitely research further into what type of room you choose at this hostel complex. On the plus side, the chill out area was fun and they even provided sheesha. The disco which opened at 1:00 also turned out to be quite fun as well!close

Great for having fun, far away from the city, though. Generally, very tidy and cosy, but not for people looking for a quiet leisure...

Hard to party because you need to catch all the subs and the last shuttle bus back to the camp site. Not such a great place if your 18 or up because you cant party there, the whole place is crawling with 12 year olds. But cheap, clean, air conditioing and cool if you want to hang out with 12 years olds. Not so great for 20 somethings who want a night on the town.close

I slept in a tent all by myself so it was a bit lonely as there ws no common area for everyone. It got very cold at night, and i found a mouse in my tent. it is good if you want to see a bit of the countryside but if you would really like to get to know rome, pay the extra and stay in the heart...

Our booking says dorms but they put you in a large tent with bunk beds. And its freezing at night!! This is a great fun, place if you dont mind being about 45mins from rome centre. there is a free shuttle to the nearest train into town. the drivers on shuttle are really friendly and punctual (most of the time) The staff at reception are a bit moody and they didnt even offer any compensation, even though we were expecting a dorm and instead got a cold tent. Try not to go when they have school groups. night mare.close

Although the Capmping is situated quite far from Rome there are free Shuttles every 30 mins to nearest metro station so it takes less than hour to reach centre of Rome. The only bad thing is that there are lots of teenage Germans making incredible noises during the night.close

Very big camp site in the middle of the wood, much nature. good place to relax at the beach (shuttle service) or pool. many young people (16-18), much party, quite noisy at night, especially if you sleep in a tent.shuttle service to rome, too.
