Looking for a Hostel to stay at in Rome. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Reply to this No recommendations - but in February you'll have the pick of the city - the bottom of the off season 😊
Reply to this Well, now it appears final... I guess my choice is your choice, or your choice is my choice! hahah
Reply to this How cheap you wanna go in Rome Ali?
I'm seeing plenty of places for about $20-30 (USD)... that sound good? No curfew, free internet, common room (I love being able to congregate with people). There are some places for $13-16, but they all seem to have the lowest ratings. heheh
Hostel Guy's Paradise Free breakfast AND Dinner! FREE espresso, cappuccino, juice, the'...throughout the day! And most important of all "We don't send any confirmations of reservation to Italian Consulate." hahah
M&J Hostel
Red Cheeks Hostel Sounds like something out of a porno! hahah
Reply to this Hostel guys sounds good - the sad thing is that I saw "free wireless internet" and thought cool - my laptop is wireless.
Reply to this No no no... the sad thing is I'm going to travel sans laptop!!! This is going to be a first for me! I'm scared! heheh
Reply to this the farther away you get from the train station, the nicer (and consequently more expensive) the hostels get. The one I stayed in close to the station was filthy, crowded, and not that cool at all. Sorry I can't remember the name 😞
Reply to this We probably stayed there 😉
I'm pretty tolerant of filth and crowding - but appreciate it when I do bump into a nice hostel... we ended up in M&J's hostel, wifi there too.
Only complaints I had were about the other "guests" - living a nocturnal life regardless of people sleeping - you know - all the lights on, talking full volume, plastic bags - 4.30am...
Reply to this yep am a moron. Next time will look at post dates lol

I think I was very spoiled by my first Hostel experience in Tokyo. The place Ali and I stayed at in Rome could of been better, but the location was perfect (in my eyes). Power was pretty damn unreliable, and NOTHING in the rooms for power, the Spanish girls needed a good punch, but all in all I had fun there (the conversations with people there were a riot!!!). I think it's all what you make of it. Keep forgetting things on my little trips though. Need to remember some flip flops next time.
Reply to this Oh god yes the flip flops. Right up there with Swiss Army knife in the top ten things not to forget. That lesson was burned in my brain as I stood barefoot in the science-experiment shower...
Reply to this Well, the swiss army knife is pretty hard these days unless you check baggage. I'm into packing and taking carry on only... carrying a knife is not an option anymore.
