The room was very clean and it is a well managed property. They go out of their way to make sure the guests have everything that they need. They also go into great detail about things to do or places to eat in the area.

Alessandro was an extraordinary host, looking after every possible detail to make our stay perfectly delightful. His property is perfectly located, within walking distance of the train, in a very safe neighborhood, close to all of Rome's historical attractions. We absolutely loved it and would most definitely return to stay here again.

We had a very nice stay at Blue Hostel. Great communication from booking through the end of our stay. Host was very accommodating, from carrying our luggage up all the stairs at arrival, to booking our 4am taxi upon departure. Room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Great location... close to train station, shops, cafes and sight seeing. Would definitely recommend when visiting Rome!

The owners / hosts were very kind and helpful! Rooms were clean and are located in a very convenient area to navigate and walk around. Be aware that this is on the third floor, so be ready to go up some flights of stairs!

Great 2 day stay

It's not a hostel, more like a family run boutique hotel. It was exactly what we needed for 2 days in Rome. Great recommendations from our host. Comfortable, clean and convenient to Roma Termini. Would stay here again.

Amazing stay! Our host Alessandro was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and responsive, and helped carry our luggage upstairs. The location is superb with easy access to all the major attractions. We were able to explore the historic sites and charming streets with ease. They provided us with a detailed map that included recommendations for nearby restaurants and cafes. Would definitely stay here again!

The BlueHostel is a nice place. It was very easy to get to the main train station and the metro. It was only a 20-25 minute walk to the Trevi Fountain and the Colosseum. The room was clean and quiet. The staff is very helpful and kind. I definitely recommend the BlueHostel.

Very friendly and helpful host. Alessandro welcomed us and helped us bring the luggages up to the 3rd floor as there is no lift in the building. The room is very clean and cozy. Alessandro showed us their own tourist map of Rome, very helpful and useful.

Stayed here for 4 nights in a twin room. The room was comfortable. Very clean. Beds made daily and towels changed. Good shower. Location excellent. The host was very friendly and helpful. Would not suit anyone with mobility problems as there are 3 flights of stairs. I would stay here again and I would recommend this property.

The room was close enough to walk everywhere two minutes from a square that offered streets in all directions with all the amenities you could ask for. The hosts were wonderful people and we enjoyed meeting them. We were running late on check in day but they were very patient and thorough with us and shared everything we needed to know. The room was great and cleaned every day. Thank you for a great experience. Jeff-Toronto

Even with the street address and Google Maps, we could not find this place. We wandered for 20 minutes looking for it. (It's between the Chinese restaurant and the barber shop.) Alessandro to the rescue! I texted him on WhatsApp, and he literally came out onto the street and waved down. He then carried my heavy suitcase up three flights of stairs like it was nothing. He was so kind and friendly. We LOVED the location near Santa Maria Maggiore. Three blocks from Roma Termini and Metro, and we felt so safe through three locked doors. The neighborhood has a grocery store and laundromat within 2 minutes, plus lots of restaurants and gelato close by. Cleaning service came every day and refilled our water bottles. The only downside was the a/c fan never stopped blowing, so we were freezing at night, and there were no extra blankets. (No, turning up the temperature, didn't help. It was the fact that the fan never stopped blowing.)
