Overall we thought the hotel was good, we enjoyed the stay. It does say hostel, but we didn’t feel like we were staying in a hostel. It’s right next to the metro as well so easier to get around.

This hostel was perfect for our family's needs. They let us book a whole room for ourselves since we had 6 people. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Would highly recommend for any travelers. Don't be fooled by the outside neighborhood. It was safe and we walked just fine to and from the metro and train station with our children.

Excellent and helpful staff. Needs a real kitchen. Limiting food on premises to only what can be bought at the hostel is a huge mistake. Not many good restaurants in the immediate area. Pre-packaged breakfast served on a tray with no choice allowed is dreadful and way overpriced at Euro 8. Would only recommend this hostel if you need to be near the train station.

The location is great for walking to all the tourist areas and is right next to the train station, but I don't think this is a 4 star hotel as Google maps indicates. It is a very pricey hostel with shady surroundings. No amenities are provided and need to pay extra for even towels.

Lovely and safe hostel. I stayed in a 4 bed female dorm and felt so comfortable and safe. The room was so clean and the area was very quiet. The hostel is close to the metro and train station so was convenient to get around Rome. There were also luggage lockers which were very affordable if you want to leave your bag there after checkout. The only downsides were the lack of self catering facilities and the rooftop was only open for breakfast and then 6pm-midnight.

Sillly rules about eating and drinking in the room. Food available looked poor, We ate outside during the holiday. The area looked run down with lots of grafitti and litter. If you are prepared to walk about 1 to 2 kilometres there were many good restaurants,

Acceptable hostel, the 24 hour front desk was nice, especially because my flights were in the middle of the night. The elevator was broken so they directed us to a sketchy service elevator. There was some mold above it but none in the room itself. Generally just good

Good staff, bad sleep

The hostel itself was nice and the staff were really friendly. The rooftop bar is a nice addition and a good place to go in the evenings. The room was where I had my issues. The air conditioning didn’t appear to be working, and when I asked it turned out the air con doesn’t get switched on at all in the evenings until the end of May. Given the heat at this time of year, I thought this was ridiculous. This resulted in people in my room opening the windows, which meant I could hear every loud banging noise that people in vans and trucks were making in the street below (this would happen all night). The heat and the noise resulted in 3 pretty terrible sleeps. One small pillow was also not really enough comfort-wise.

everithing excellent except a pair of books desappear, but, I know that this could be happen. Is a pity. Very beautiful place, not easy to find it cause the different system of numbers in the street, easy with app.

We booked a room with a king-sizes bed as that was how it was advertised, but really it was two single beds pushed together. Also to add, the rooftop bar was not open, we asked staff members and they said it was due to the weather but it was 26-28 degrees at the time. Location is fairly good, approx 15-20 min walk from Colosseum and a fairly close distance to the bus to airport.

Personalen var trevliga och bra. Rummet var mycket mörkare och slitnare än på bilderna. Badrummet behöver fräschas upp och detsamma gäller rummet. Jag fick rummet bredvid trappa så det var mycket spring och störningar. Rummet fick också in matos eftersom det kom från köket. Inte så trevligt. Fönstret kan man inte ha öppet eftersom det var bredvid utrymningstrappan och där la städarna smutsig tvätt. Städarna gick där.

Nina was the best. Clean rooms, comfortable beds, nice quiet environment. Surrounding area looks a bit sketchy at night but just take normal precaution. No towel, you have to pay extra seemed not good. I would recommend.

ELIZABETH, 2-night trip

Checking in and out was a breeze. The staff is amazing- always ready to help with a friendly demeanor. The staff I’d encountered (consisting of many front desk reps and rooftop bartender), were all personable, knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful with every question/issue I had. My room- was in a twin deluxe- was cute and IMMACULATE, the AC was pumping (I was able to adjust the temperature), and bed was comfy. Decor was cute and artsy. In all, Generator Rome for the place and staff - gets at A++! The neighborhood- as you would be in any foreign city, keep your eyes open. You’re in the heart of Rome and whenever you’re in any “heart” of a major city, you will notice an evident urban “edge”- Rome is no different. The first couple of nights I took cabs everywhere, and then soon realized it was like NYC (where I grew up in)- and people keep to themselves as long as you do. Keeping my eyes open and being aware, I used public transportation everywhere from that point on- even on those late nights out. In the end, if I had to compare, if I were a newbie city traveler, I’d beg to say that the heart of Rome had a safer feeling than NYC. A tip for US travelers - bring an adaptor if you want to use a USB, lightening port, or “regular” US electrical plug; their sockets are European ones. The hostel sells them but do bring one if you have. Thank you Generator Rome staff for an excellent stay. 🤗 Lorenzo, the “music major,” and team- you’re all a gem!

가족여행으로는 다른 호텔을 추천함

호텔이라기 보다는 호스텔입니다. 시스템 자체가 그렇게 되어있기 때문에, 가족여행으로는 부적합합니다. 일부 친절한 직원이 있지만, 대체로 불친절합니다. 에어컨은 두개의 Room 모두 동작하지 않았고, 가끔 전등도 불안정합니다. 호스텔 시스템이기 때문에, 호스텔용이 아닌 일반 Room에 묵어도 타월의 추가는 비용을 지불해야 합니다. 문제는 호스텔 시스템이지만, 비용을 호텔비용이라는 것입니다. 테레미니역에서 가까운 장점은 있습니다.
