Pros: They have cleaning staff who clean daily, offer free breakfast at near by cafe (which had a soymilk option yay!), near the bus/train station
Cons: Not the prettiest, no places to socialize with other travelers, don't take creditcards, not near any tourist attractions

My friends and I stayed 3 nights here in a cozy and nice room. A little bit old fashioned, but still very nice and clean. We got into rome very late, but the owner stayed up until we arrived and helped us plan out our few days in Rome. We ended up getting upgraded to better rooms with AC and a free ...

Good location close to Termini Station. The building is old but the rooms and shower rooms are clean. The facilities were sufficient but I wanted a locker for luggage. There is a security box in each room. The heating of the room is a little weak.

Place wasnt great. Breakfast was only a crescent roll. Eric charged us 35 euros for losing a key, claiming that he would have to replace all of the locks in case there were thieves. However, we lost the key far from the hostel, and there is nothing on the keys to indicate they belong to the hostel, ...

I felt incredibly safe staying here, it had great proximity to the city and public transportation, and the guy who checked us in gave us a free bottle of wine and planned out a trip itinerary for us! The shower had hot water, everything was clean, and the beds were comfortable. I would definitely st...

My boss was very kind and when I checked in I asked him if he was staying in Rome for a few days and he recommended me to schedule. Please tell me about the nearby Gelato restaurant and also recommend what to do on the day of check-in. We had a bottle of wine as a whole and welcomed along with welco...

Only available at the laundry service shop on the 1st floor.
You can put a basket of laundry in it and wash it with 7 euros, dry it, and even finish it with fabric softener.
You don't have to wait like a coin laundry, and you can use your time effectively.

we just use laundry service.

Would strongly recommend not staying at the Funny Palace in Rome.

First of all there is no official signage for the hostel, we only found it because a guy came up to us asking if we were looking for it and led us into a questionable looking laundromat.
The reception is in an unmarked dirty laund...

The staff here is some of the nicest people I have ever met. They took the time to give us man recommendations of what to do in Rome. The owner even gave us a bottle of wine for free and he even let me use his own charger overnight when mine wasn't working. The room and bathroom were clean. Towels w...

Good value for money. For what it costs the night, you can not ask for more. Friendly staff and old but clean rooms. We arrived at 11pm and we did not know where we had gotten. Dark street, small and without people. Checking in we did it in a laundry. At that time everything seemed strange and we ev...

A good hostel close to the main attractions of the city, the staff is very friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and neat. But, we were unlucky to stay in this hostel during winter and as a result it was awfully cold in the room as we were sleeping. Good hostel, but, supposingly, only in the war...

I stayed one night because I was alone for that day. The staff was extremely nice and the location is right next to the train station. It's a little far from the center of the city and especially the west side of the city like the Vatican, but Rome is just huge, so that's to be expected. The rooms w...

Nice customer service. The staff will show you places in Rome, ways to get there in daytime and nighttime and remind you to watch the pickpocket. There is no table in the room. You can ask for help from the staff snd they are kind to help with.

Really good quality property for the price. Very helpful staff, clean rooms. Everything you need for a night in Rome and a day for sightseeing.

The only drawback - a bit poorly marked, however, it is not a big problem for instant contact with the support via phone, including WhatsApp.

They have laundry service (6 euros wash and dry). The laundry service was nice since you can drop it off and they'll put it in the dryer for you too. They even folded a few shirts for me! The rooms are basically old hotel rooms with a few single beds thrown in. There's no common room to socialize.

Decent rooms, they have an air vent where a.c.can go. Without one, it can let mosquitos in. Check in was super slow and disorganized and the guy seemed really uninterested. However, they will wash and fold laundry for about 6-8 euros a load which is really nice.
