Rome, Italy (Guesthouse)

When we arrived at the hostel location we were greeted by an adorable Argentinian woman who explained to us that she was just opening a new location closer to the train station. She walked us over to the new place and it was IMMACULATE and well beyond my expectations. She helped us figure out the bus routes and made sure we were comfortable. GREAT EXPERIENCE! Highly recommend!

Victoria and Maria could not have been better to us. We loved them. We had only one problem while we were there, the beds are hard as rocks. The place was perfectly clean, the people extremely friendly. Victoria arranged our ride to the airport with a very reliable company and we were well taken care of. Breakfast was typical continental but was good for starting the day. We left very early 4:30 am when checking out so Victoria put a selection of muffins, crossants and biscotti in our room along with juice and yogurt in the small public refridgerator. Price was excellent!

These are comfortable, clean and sedate hotel-quality rooms within a few 100 m of the St Peter's Basilica and Vatican City. Highly recommended, with most staff cheerful, helpful and multilingual. I appreciated their help in pre-booking museum tickets for our onward journey to Florence.

superclose to metro-station. walking distance to san pietro cathedral and vatican. pizza to go in same building. all in all good place to stay, if you need it cheap! bit unlucky with our room, loud (if window open) and sticky - they have better rooms.

excellent

The hosetess is very kind and nice. And it is very clean.

It was nice but it's not a hotel. The description is a little bit wrong. Mario was a really good help. For a sort trip, it was the right one.

...an okay experience....very spartan..perhaps a "onenighter" for some....

We stayed in Cristina's residence for almost a week and didn't spent much time in the room during the day. The room was clean enough, simple furnished, but offered everything we needed (even a boiler, instant coffee and a fridge). In the hall there's a microwave - very useful! The staff was friendly and helpful, but sometimes we had to call them - there is no permanent front desk. A plus is the location (near the central train station).

Good location only 10 min walking to the Termini Station. Big room with own bathroom. Polite stuff

We had a double private room, and we really liked it. More like an apartment than a hostel, so we stayed an extra day. The guy running the place is great, really friendly and helpfull. If there was Wifi in the room it would have been perfect, but we enjoyed our stay nonetheless.

Very nice location and place to stay if you want to have your privacy. The appartments are nice and very comfortable with own bedroom,bathroom and kitchen (with all items necessary for cooking). ALso clubs and discotheks around the corner where a lot of young people are going Only thing to consider: Call the host before arriving, so he may wait for you!

The pictures on the website have not been updated in 5 years. The kitchen is not clean, there is no soap or sponge to clean the dishes. The towels and sheets are broken. I DON'T RECOMMEND.

The only regret I have: that I didn't stay all length of my trip at Walter Rooms. I had to compare my stays in Rome: 1. at expensive hotel, 2.and at a mid range hotel, 3.with Walter Rooms. Walter rooms were better. It just was not looking expensive. But it is not about a looks ,- what is important, isn't it? 1. Most important for me is value for money. When I was checking out from expensive hotel,- I got VERY high additional bill with city fees and taxes. When I did stay at mid range hotel,- fees and taxes were still steep, on top of linen/towel hire! Walter rooms city tax was pleasantly low. Partly because it has a lowest price even compare to other hostels. Your money can stretch for much longer in Walter Rooms. 2. WIFI was 10 times better that in expensive hotel!!!!!! Never had any problems in Walter Rooms. WIFI was a main reason I checked out from expensive hotel. I did try in few hotels and hostels (I had work to do online), - but Walter Rooms was fastest. 3. Location absolutely incredible: short walk to Termini station or couple stops ride on a tram,- from door to door. A lot of roads in a center of Rome are cobblestone roads. After rolling a suitcases for longer time, to/from other hotels,- I learned to appreciate Walter Rooms,- how short is a walk and how good is a surface of road. 4.Other hostels what I looked in,- did not had elevator. Walter Rooms, - has. (I hate to drug my luggage upstairs.) 5. Walter and his staff were so kind to guests. This review will be too long if I will describe it. 6. It was plenty of free food offered to a guests (even the one what Walter was cooking for himself and his girlfriend!!!). 7. It was very easy to find and to get into a hostel, because: a) I read ALL email what was send to me after booking. Everything was explained. b)I put arrival time into my booking. I wrote email and called upon arrival. It is a small hostel (not a big chain) at a center of Rome,- of cause arrival time has to be organised! 8. Quiet building with thick walls, quiet street. Good sleep at night. 9. Mosquito net on window. Result ,- no mosquitoes in Walter Rooms. My expensive hotel was a nightmare! 10. Hot shower. Ensuite bathroom in a female dorm, so it is no need to get dressed to go to bathroom. Extra bathroom is available in hallway. 11. High ceilings with a thick walls, with fan. Because of it,- one day when it was plus 36 C outside,- it was OK inside Walter Rooms. Overall it is a 5 stars quality for modest price and modest looking tiny hostel. If you used to big hotels/ hostels,- pay more and book there. I would came back to Walter Rooms. I highly recommend it to others.

there was no hot water

we got what we paid for

I don’t recommend this hostel. It was an awful experience. There are not keys from the door. A problem occurred with our check in, and there is not wifi at all. Be careful with the choice of this particular hostel, because it is not as in description )

just opposite to the termini train station, really convenient but not if you're checking in. sometimes the staff is out and you have to wait downstairs not knowing when sb will open the front door for you. ring for ARTHUR hostel not DINO.
