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.
Everithing was fine! I recommend that!
The Place was clean and staff were friendly. There's a metro stop literally 30 seconds away and the Termini train station is 5 minutes' walk away.
When you ask for something (e.g. remote control for air cond., password for wifi), don't believe them, when they tell it doesn't work! Keep on asking. Eventually it always did work. This behaviour of the staff was very disappointing. The rest was ok.
Their kitchen is a bit dodgy, the rest is fine.
This is part of several hostels and they move people around depending on demand, so I actually stayed in Star Rooms. Very low key and relaxing.
This place was pretty great. I do need to mention that I was moved from one of the houses to another when I first arrived (when Walter found out I was traveling alone, he wanted to put me in a female only dorm in a less busy house, which was thoughtful.) It was right near the metro, had complimentary breakfast, and you cant beat that price in Rome! Walter really cares about the well being of his tenants. It was just a little dingy, but clean. Everything was just well worn, especially in the full kitchen. If you are looking for a comfortable bed, a helpful host,a decent breakfast,and good location, you found your place!
Great Hostel with good breakfast ! Staff is nice and location in centre of Rome !
Walter, the owner, asked to me throght his employee to pay 10 euro more because I arrived at 1 a.m. He doesn't make to give to me any receipt about this fee he added.He was not kind by phone.
Actually they haven't parking space
If you are looking for a cheap hostal this is it! very close to the Metro Station to go anywhere, in general is very much acceptable.
nil
Not new but clean room and sheets, bed already made, perfect for the price.
It's very close to metro vittoria emmanuele and cheap! Very nice view in the window and from balcony But it's not clean and very cold blanket and just in the room too cold at the winter time. Recommend to take another blanket with you:)
Great hostel, not the cheapest, but almost in the center, on the walk-distance from Colosseum
we were 2 girls from the czech republic there in the hostel and we were totally satisfied by what we got for that money..no problem at all although we had to be moved for the last night due to technical reasons..we thank the staff for a nice service!
Very friendly and helpful staff, close proximity to Termini Station. In our private room, we had lots of space and a little tv. We would definitely go again.
Pretty good place for that price. Very friendly staff:) Very close to subway. Close to major attractions in Rome. Clean room and bathroom. Breakfast very basic, but sufficient if you have further some of your food. Very small and very loud dining room. You can not sleep when the other guests are using the dining room! You can hear every word, and coffee maker is extremely loud!!! Kitchen is available for guests, but an oven does not work which is disappointing when you have a limited budget. Make sure that you will be in guest house before midnight! After this time you have a problem with the check-in. Despite the small inconvenience I recommend this place.
Great place, near the train station and you can walk from there to the coliseum, very clean, the staff was helpful and kind, I found it very confortable.
