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.

Hi Pamela, thanks for your recension. We are very intersting to know if your stay was good. The our hostel offer the towel (small, medium and large) to guest that choose a room with private bathroom. In the dormitory the price is lower and the service is different. Thank you so much and we hope you will be again our guest.

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.

Dear Christopher, lovely to read you had a pleasant stay and a nice experience with our staff, we love to be good and helpful at what we do, and can't deny we appreciate when it gets recognised ;) About the district: have you had the chance to visit Villa Torlonia and the Mausoleum of S.Costanza? There are actually really nice hidden spots in the area, despite not being super-tourist and more for local people (residents and young university students mainly)... Next time, ask for some hints at the front desk and we'll be glad to show you the very best in the neighbourhood! Have a great summer and take care - RSC

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.

Dear Ilana, thank you for dedicating us some of your time, it is very important for us to receive feedbacks from our guests to improve our services :) In fact during your stay we were accommodating many different groups, for this reason it was so difficult to check on their behaviour throughout the night with their tour leaders - so many! Our most felt apologies for the inconvenience, hope you had the possibility to rest and recharge your energy every night anyway! As for the beds, we usually change our matresses every 3 years, we'll have a close look at the one you pointed out! Thank you, very much appreciated :) Greetings from RSC

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.

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.

Great place to stay in!
I have stayed in quite a few hostels and this one was the best by far.. Room was spotless clean and cleaned every day. The staff were very friendly. Breakfast was limited but provided for free which is not always he case in hostels. Location is also very important when you are a backpacker who has few days in the city. Very close to Bologna tube station, you get an easy access to the Coliseum (few stops away) and all other important landmarks.

One Nigh Stay at Roma Scout Center
The stay was comfortable for the short time I was there. It is a very simple hostel with minimal comforts. I would recommend that the hostel also provide blankets for those staying in the dormitory. Location is very residential.

Nice but far
We spent 2 nights at Roma Scout: everything was OK: the room was clean and we had space in the room. The only negative side would be the location of the Center: though not that far from the center of the city, you have to count a 30 minute-walk between Roma Termini and the hostel so it can be a disadvantage (or just something to take into account) if you want to visit the city by foot (because the majority of the city's main attractions are on the other side of Termini).

Decent price, good place for a night or two
The staff was not extremely helpful, they don't provide maps or other things that a normal hostel would. The restaurant is okay, but I got sick from the pasta. The bathroom door didn't close, the shower head was broken and the stall door was also broken. The price and location were good, but if you're looking to meet people or socialize, this is not the place for you.

It's quite clean, especially baths. Main areas look good but not too wide, comfortable or fancy. The bedroom I stayed was OK. Bunker beds are comfortable, didn't make cracking noises and each one has its own lamp in order not to disturb anyone else at night. In a close location to the subway.

Séjour agréable
Emplacement idéal, à deux pas d’une station de métro, et donc à quelques minutes du centre historique. Le parking privé est un véritable plus. Nous sommes venus en famille, et nous avons eu tout le confort et service nécessaire pour chacun. L’accueil a été souriant et nous avons eu toutes les infos souhaitées. C’est la deuxième fois que je réserve au Roma Scout Center, et j’y retournerai très certainement. Je recommande donc vivement.
