Palladini Hostel Rome

Todo genial

Me and my friend stayed here in april 2024 for 3 nights and found the hostel disappointing. We booked a 4 bed mixed dorm and ended up sharing with a couple who were probably in their mid 60s (we are 18 & 20). Unfortunately this made us feel quite uncomfortable as young women, as all other hostels have policies where people over 45 need to use a private room. After a horrific night sleep because of these people (obviously behaviour of the guests is out of the hostel’s control) we went to ask to move rooms and we were instantly dismissed by the receptionist who defended the people we were sharing with despite us making it clear we felt unsafe. The toilet stank to the point where we were gagging (clearly a plumbing issue) although the room was decent itself. But the kitchen was very basic with what smelt and looked like someone’s dirty laundry left in one of cupboards. One member of staff randomly walked into the room without warning went into the toilet and then walked out again at 10.30pm without saying anything. Overall very disappointing and not the place to go if you are a young woman.

If you want bed bugs and unhelpful and rude staff, who are clearly lying about how they handle the bedbugs problem, this is the place. Furthermore, if you want dirty rooms to sleep in and lots of noise from the street, you should definetely go there. Horrible experience.

This place is absolutely disgusting. It’s falling apart, don’t be fooled by the pictures. The bathroom is a room with a few showers that is shared by the entire floor, it was so dirty, wet and gross that I didn’t even want to step in it. I was placed in a room with other 4 big men and the vibe in the entire place was just shady. At night it was impossible to sleep, you can hear every little thing from the entire property. The bed and pillow are just plain horrible, the “lamp” was just a hanging wire with a lightbulb very close to your head, so very unsafe. The area where the hostel is located is dirty and creepy… I didn’t feel safe walking there during the day let alone at night. The staff was very unhelpful when I asked if I could upgrade to a cleaner or safer room or if I could get a refund if I checked out, they didn’t provide any options. Needless to say the next day I just checked out and went to another place, I didn’t care that I would not get a refund, I just wanted to get out of there. That is when the staff finally showed some concern and offered other rooms… but it was too late cause I already had reservations in other place. Never going again. Stay away from this property! Pictures are very misleading.

what to say about this magnificent place recommended to everyone I am now I feel like at home. a very clean pleasant and fun environment the staff is super welcoming not to mention the guys in the recption including Giorgia allen and jeff of the people super attention to good of the customer they always find a way to please the customers with the utmost respect for their customers and with great pleasure that I tend to recommend the Palladini hostel in Rome with good prices in a friendly and sociable environment I believe that in all the hostels that I have visited this for me is one of the best this I assure you is if you don't believe it come and try this experience yourself

I am very sad about having to stay here. I have booked on Hostelworld, which is kind of a pain in the ass app. Although I initially had to change the dates and the hotel said it was fine, nothing was reflected in the app so I had become confused, and I had a lot of other things going on this year, and I thought that I had not booked the hotel for some reason! I ended up booking twice and I had canceled a reservation for my elderly 88 year old father and me. They refused to refund my money because I didn't pay extra for cancellation. This trip is a once in a lifetime experience for my father and me and we don't have a lot of money, and like other tourist to go to Rome. I'm really sad that the hotel sees fit to keep my hard-earned money instead of taking pity on me and refunding it. I've been refunded by other hostels under similar circumstances around the world. I'm also an Italian citizen, and sadly many of my country, men and women tend to fit the horrible stereotypes. Expect to lose money if you come to this place.
