Auberge de jeunesse situé assez loin de tout. Plutôt bruillant et confort moyen.

This is one of the nicest hostels I've stayed in. Rooms have locks with only 4 people per room. Each room also has a locking luggage cabinet, big enough to easily fit carry-on baggage and more. Clean showers and bathrooms.
Towels are available for rent for €2 and breakfast is available for €4. Reasonable prices. They're not trying to rip you off at every turn.
It's within easy waling distance to the Bologna metro stop.

Not all the powerpoints worked so I had to use those by other beds. Very clean though, really impressed with the female bathroom. Small towels would have been nice. I took my own on the chance I’d need one but the first two hostels I used provided them. For a traveller travelling light, towels are appreciated.

Great hostel, amazing facilities. Not located in the centre of Rome, but very close to the metro in a great neighbourhood. All the staff are wonderful and friendly!
Just be aware that you can't come/leave between 3am and 5am

Pleasant Stay
Very friendly staff. The complimentary breakfast in the mornings I see nice to have.
The area isn’t very pleasant and close to the bus station.
It’s a pretty easy trek to city center via metro.

The hostel was in the neighborhood I wanted to be in so it was perfect (though not in the center of the city). The beds were not the most comfortable and there were a lot of young (somewhat loud) teenagers staying in my hall each of the three nights I was there (but I guess that comes with it being a scout center). It was a very reasonable price and overall I enjoyed my stay.

Comfortable hostel with great staff!
The hostel facilities were really nice and clean. It was very easy to access from the metro station. The rooms were spacious and with lockers to put your valuables inside.
The staff was very very nice, I have food allergies and in the morning they gave me special biscuits before my departure.
Also, I forgot my wallet and realized it an hour after. I called and they kept it for me with everything inside. Very grateful for the honesty and patience.

Just Okay...
My stay was okay... this is a total budget hostel in a so-so area. The staff members are great and helpful but the hostel is a bit worn down and full of young travels on gap year. The breakfast is a joke.... coffee and bread (literally) and the shower gets "warm" on a good day.
