Early flight? Try crashing around the corner from Termini at this easygoing hotel and hostel that emanates that youthful, friendly, Backpackers-of-the-World-Unite hostel ambience—but without the dismal dorm atmosphere or party-hard agenda.
Even I, confirmed budget traveler yet avowedly ambivalent about hostels (didn't even care for them when I was a traveling student) have booked myself in here on, oh, at least a half-dozen occasions. Why? It's cheap, it's clean, and, for certain stays where you want to be near the train station, it's very convenient.
Rooms are functionally basic, but the mattresses are new. About half the accommodations are private (€25 single without bath, €30 with a shower; €45 double without bathroom, €53 with full bathroom). The other half are shared, hostel-style‚ but with only four cots each—costing €20 for the rooms that share baths down the hall, €23 for a room with a private bathroom attached.
The (generally) young guests hang out in the TV room, solarium (microwave, fridge, Internet station), and flower-filled terrace, trading travel tips and often heading out as a group for pizza or a pub crawl.
