We stayed two nights at the Blue Hostel. An informative map printed by the Blue Hostel was provided which was so useful. You would only need this for your stay at Rome. We followed the food/restaurants recommended on the map and they were great! The room was modern and clean. Good location, only less than 10 minutes walk from the... More

Although we had to alter our italy trip plans and did not get a chance to stay at Bluehostel Rome, we would just like to commend them on their understanding and excellent service to waive off the cancellation fees even though it was less than 2 days till the booking date. It was easy to communicate as their command of... More

We needed to tack on an extra day at the end of our vacation in Rome and found Blue Hostel. It was quiet and clean and Ercole was accommodating and welcoming. He gave us helpful hints about the city and was full of good advice. We loved our light, airy room and wished we had time to stay longer than... More

I must admit we had high expectations of this property after all the good reviews. I booked last August and have been checking reviews since. We haven't been let down. Our room, with private bathroom is lovely. Tastefully decorated with tv, fridge, air con, wardrobe, desk, overlooking small courtyard. Ercole is a wonderful host. He has thought of everything. A...

We're currently travelling from London to South Africa - a 6 month journey that has seen us through France and Italy so far, staying in loads of different types of accommodation. Without a doubt, our stay at Ercole was like staying at a good friend's house. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcome and went out of... More

A friend and I stayed at Blue Hostel for a night before we left Rome via the Termini. I wish we had stayed longer because it really is a great value. We were able to snag a room with a private bathroom and as another reviewer said, it felt much more like a hotel than a hostel. We did not... More

We stayed at the Blue hostel for 3 nights, 5/5-5/8/2013. Marcello and Ercole make you feel right at home. The rooms are sparkling clean and very lovely & unique. The service is friendly and extremely helpful. The location could not be better; a few short blocks from the Roma Termini, Metro, and busses to take you all over Rome...Oh, and... More

I've been to Italy 3 times now and The Blue Hostel is the best place I've every stayed. The beds are comfortable, the showers are hot, the staff is so helpful, and it's in a good location close to the train station. If I am ever in Rome again, I will stay here!

We spent a long weekend in Rome with my girlfriend in early April and stayed in Blue Hostel for three nights. I picked up the place based on those excellent photos and I am so happy to did that!
