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!

Fantastic service and Guest House, would recommend to anyone. I was staying with my wife and 9 month old and we had a wonderful time. The staff also gave fantastic recommendations for local food and shops.

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!

We absolutely loved the Blue Hostel and will 100% stay there again. The only people who should not stay here are people who can't do stairs - there are several flights of stairs. We had no problem with this - in fact, our cardio health increased and they got easier to do over the week lol - but if you can't do stairs its the wrong place for you. If NOT, it was a fantastic place, easy to get to Termini but not right on top of Termini, a quick shot to the Forum and center city - really everything was walkable and the few places that were not easily walkable were accessible by Metro and other trains - easy to do day trips out of town etc. Maria Maggiore down the street which is first rate. Clean, nice kitchen, great communication with hosts Alessandro and Ercole. A+.

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
