60%Hotel Mari 2  

Not worth the price, there were smells from bathroom and uncleanliness that got annoying. Ok if you stay 5 bed rooms for 28 euros but not worth the 3 bed rooms for 45 a night

The staff was very helpful and informative, the hostel was clean, and we could get every where easily. The ONLY draw back was how unbelievable HOT it was. There was NO fan and to turn on the air conditioning it was an additional 8 euros, which we didn't know until it was too late.

the only problem is that there is no elevator and climbing everytime is really tiring,,,,apart from that its a good one.......the rooms and the bathrooms are clean......but the shower area is very very small.......location is really good.....if you are on budget this is a good choice!

Our stay here was ok... It is located on a little street not too far from the train station which is great! The rooms were fine. There is a minifridge with drinks (you have to pay for them of course, cheap prices considering that water is really expensive there) which was cool. No air...

Light bulb at living room was out and sink was not working on day 1 but fixed on day 2, quite efficient. Very noisy in the morning starting 7am as a car park was just right adjacent to the hostel. Please close the window but there was no air conditioning. Small bathroom that you can practise Yoga. 3 Euro for each luggage that you left in the hotel which is actually cheaper than that in the train station. To conclude, fair budget hotel.close

Hostel has no elevator ans stairs were a nightmare. This was not advised anywhere before booking. There was only one key available per doorm, so if you arrived late you had to knock and wake up the rest of the room, simply unbelievable!

If you are looking for a real basic accommodation in a good location, this is place would work. But be ware, it has no lift and I had to carry my pack all the way to the 5th floor

The location is relatively close to the historical center, but the street itself is quite ugly. We (5 persons) lived on the 5th floor - no elevator. The shower was hard to fix in stable position. Some of us saw wood-louses in the bathroom.

A good clean, basic hostel. Good value for money, good location and reasonably quiet. (Oh, but 5 stories, no lift ~ adds to the fun!)

Rome's metro is terrible, so staying somewhere more central may be important to you. Still, the hotel was welcoming, clean, and not too hot despite the very warm weather. AC units are 10 Euro per day, but ask for a fan and that should be enough. A supermarket and very cheap restaurants are all within one block, which was very nice. Location was the biggest concern. Hope you enjoy walking!close

Rooms are uncomfortably hot at night in Summer... a fan would have been welcome. Too many stairs too... 96 steps to my 4th floor room were painfully counted! But room and bathroom were spotless.
