Reasonable for the price
Location is good, close to the train station and subway, also a walking distance to the Coliseum. However, the hostel is very basic if comparing with others in Europe for the same price. It was okay, though, no problems.

The best hostel in Roma
This place was great! I felt very welcomed and the staff was helpful in every way. The front desk showed me where important spots were including the closest ATM and good shops to buy supplies for a budget minded traveler such as myself. The breakfast is amazing. You can go back up and get as many platefuls of bacon and eggs as you like! I'm a big breakfast eater so this was a lifesaver for me. The breakfast staff were very passionate about providing a plate full of food and a warm smile every time. Also got to hear some cool music while eating. The beds were comfortable and heater worked well. This was a wonderful experience. It is close to everything I mean everything. I would highly recommend Alessandro Downtown Hostel to anyone. You can't beat the price either!

Good for a short stay
The location of the hostel is pretty good, very close to the station Roma Termini and 20min away from the Colosseum. The staff is friendly, however the hostel does not accept payments through cards. Besides that, the breakfast is limited. The beds were very noisy and a bit uncomfortable. Overall a good place to stay for a short trip.

One of the better packpacker places I've stayed at in Western Europe. Very close to Roma Termini so less stress about continuing your Italian journey on time or returning to Fiumicino airport. An easy walk to the Metro at Termini where you can get trains to the Vatican and Colosseum. A great experience.

BedBugBites, Rome

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hello - I stayed at the Alessandro Downtown Hostel Rome, Rome (province), Italy from Wed, Sep 18 - Sun, Sep 22. During my stay I was bitten by bed bugs. My hand was extremely swollen with the first bite. I communicated this to the staff and they noted they didn't find anything upon investigation. The staff who reviewed my bed area did mention he was not a professional with bed bugs and wasn't certain about what to look for. The staff at the front desk admitted they've had an issue with bed bugs. Sun 9/22 I talked to the 2 front desk staffs (Michael and other man) extensively about the issue and they also called the Manager named Ovens. Ovens wasn't willing to do anything else about the issue except change the room and laundry. That night, I received another bite. On Monday morning, I found a bed bug on my clothing and I have photo and video footage of it. It is outrageous that the hotel refused to do anything about this issue and that it appears to be recurring based on feedback online. Expedia should be aware of this as this is a serious health issue that is going unattended by the hostel and is putting people's lives and wellness at risk. I paid for a place to stay and had certain expectations. I did not pay to risk my health and potentially have additional medical expenses.
