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

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.

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!

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 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.

What a gem. Ercole and Alessandro are wonderful hosts who clearly have a passion for what they do. They provided a map of Rome with locations of all the main attractions plus locations and descriptions of their dining recommendations. A true locals guide to Rome. I went to as many of their spots as I could get to and wow, such treasures. The Blue Hostel is perfectly located close to everything including metro, but just outside of the crowded fray. This was my first trip to Rome, but surely not my last. I know where I’m going to stay for all future visits! Ps the room was charming and gorgeous and clean, with ac and quite a comfortable bed.

The room was quaint, very clean and stylish. We really appreciated the extra attention and help from Andrea. He helped us throughout our trip and gave us his cellphone number to text with any questions we might have. The hotel was a quick 8 minute walk from the train station and several Metro stations were close. The room was sooo wonderfully quiet each night after a long day in the city. And the added touch of 2 cold water jugs in our refrigerator each night was a freshment like no other. No hesitations, I’d book again in a heartbeat! Great place with great staff!

Nice Place in the Center of Rome
The BlueHostel is located in a block a couple of blocks from Rome’s central terminal. It’s right in the center of Rome and convenient to everything. The accommodations are tidy and comfortable, and the gentlemen that operate it exceptionally nice. It’s just the sort of place we look for when we travel (rather than a larger hotel). Two things that people should be aware of, the beds are firm (but comfortable), and it’s located on the 3rd floor, which might be an issue for those with mobility issues.

The property is situated on the second floor of an historic building, not far from the main Rome Termini. Internally the apartment has clearly been recently modernised and offers a generous layout and everything you could need for a short break. Our check in was arranged by Andrea, who was most informative and happy to offer suggestions on restaurants and tourist spots in the city. Comfy bed and great shower, what more do you need. Check out was with Ercole who kindly offered us a tin of biscuits as an apology for a small mishap. A lovely gesture. Highly recommended.

Unique hotel experience. Andrea who welcomed us was great and gave us lots of tips and information. It is a three-story walk-up so this experience might not be for everyone, but for those who can handle that the location was great, the room was updated and quiet, and it had everything we needed.
