I would definitely go back, good place for the price.close

I only stayed there for one night, however the bathrooms were very clean and the bed has lovely fresh linen. Not much character. Staff were pleasant enough and marked a few things on a map for us and helped with public transport questions.

It was a really good hostel in a great and convenient location. It would have been nice to have security lockers in the rooms, however everyone got their own keys so the rooms were always locked. The place was really clean and the staff were really helpful.

Definitively a place to stay!close

Disappointing that breakfast was not provided when it was advertised on the Hostelworld site. Cressy also only receives payment in cash, preferably on arrival, which the website did not inform us about. Other than that, a pleasant stay.

Recommended. Cleaned every day. Safe. Quiet. Really nice helpful staff. Close to Ter,ini but its not a pretty area. Surrounding area of Trevi fountain is prettier; but touristy.

Scary entering the building, but felt safe once inside. It's not in the best part of Rome... it is quoted as being located in the "unlovely" section of town. However, it wasn't very expensive and the staff were very nice and helpful.

would've liked a shower curtain so the rest of the bathroom didn't get wet during the shower, also a better shower head than just a stream of water, and also more heating/heating all throughout the night instead of it being cut off during the night

Pros: friendly staff, well connected to main attractions despite the location (Termini) that isn't the nicest place, but safe enough. Definitely is not a place to have fun...just to sleep well. Very clean!! Cons: There was a problem with the heating system and hot water, but Management did as much as the could to fix it promptly. One day before checking out I found out that I paid for a bed, double the price compared to one of my roommates. The difference was that I booked through Hostelworld, so backpackers...do your research wisely!!. I'd recommend anyone to stay here at Cressy. Evaluación en español: El puntaje es 75-80/100. Pros: staff amigable, bien conectado a las atracciones principales a pesar del área (Termini) que no es la mejor, aunque suficientemente segura. Definitivamente no es un lugar para divertirse, sino para dormir bien. Estaba muy limpio. Contras: Hubo un problema con la calefacción y agua caliente, pero el gerencia hizo lo imposible por solucionarlo rápidamente. Un día antes de irme, hablando con un compañero de habitación, me di cuenta que había pagado el doble que él por la misma cama, sólo por haber hecho la reserva en Hostelworld, así que les recomiendo que busquen otras alternativas para reservar. Recomendaría pasar una estadía en Cressy.close

It was very convenient to go any famous places. The staff was the most helpful and friendly among the hotels I have ever been. When I arrived, he gave me a map and told us how to get to popular places, the nearest supermarket and restaurants. I could borrow clean towels and a hair dryer without any extra charge, though some hostels in London charged them. The room and bathroom were very, very clean. The shower was nicely hot and the toilet was always very clean. In addition, I enjoyed chatting with people in our dorm. I don’t know why, but even people staying there were also very friendly and good manner! Everything was a real good value for the price! I will surely return to Cressy when I go to Rome again. Thanks Cressy!close
