Reservations:

Do I need to call ahead?

We do recommend that you give us a call when you are in Rome to let us know that you are coming. This is especially true in the summertime when we usually fill up quickly. However, if you are unable to call before you arrive in Rome, we suggest that you try to arrive as early as possible in the day. This is a good idea when hostelling in general because it gives you the opportunity to find alternative accommodation if a hostel is full or doesn't suit your needs.

What if I don't know exactly how many days I want to stay?

It is not a problem if you do not know how many days you want to stay. In fact if that is the case, then congratulations you are a true backpacker. Most of our guests take their trip on a day by day basis, rather than having a set itinerary. You only need to make a reservation for the day of your arrival. After that you have priority to your bed for the following nights, as long as you pay before 10:30 am for that coming night.

Do you have beds available on...

Because we always let our existing guests stay additional nights (up to two weeks) if they want to, we do not know in advance if we will have beds for you here on a given night. When you have a confirmed advance reservation with us, this simply assures that you will have a bed here or at a nearby hostel if we are full.

There is no minimum stay. We do have a maximum stay of two weeks. The reason for this is that we are intended for international travelers and students on vacation, who are in Rome to see the sights. We are not well suited for people trying to re-locate to the city or for local residents. Therefore the two week maximum insures this is the case.

This varies from 4 people in a partitioned area of a large room to rooms with 8 people. Sorry, it's not possible to reserve a specific room.

We highly recommend that people do lock up items such as: cameras, passports, travelers checks, etc. Since we have very hight security, only registered guests are allowed in the dormitories.

Is the hostel located in a safe area of Rome?

We are located in centre of Rome. We feel that we are located in a good neighborhood, and feel comfortable about going outside in this area even at night alone. However we are still located downtown in a large city. It is important to always keep your 'street smarts' about you. In addition there are areas of Rome which we would highly recommend that our guests not go. So upon check-in, please ask our staff about their recommendations.

I have a car, is there parking available?

We do not have any on site parking for our guests. However we are experienced at helping our guests to find parking in the city. Our first suggestion is don't have a car in Rome. It is a parking nightmare. The public transportation system in Rome is excellent. However if you do have a car, we will direct you at check-in to the best place to park it based on how long you are staying, etc.
