Borgo Ripa Urban Travel

The hostel's location is just perfect - it really lets you fully experience Rome, as lots of attractions are within walking distance. The rooms and bathrooms are clean and the personnel is friendly :) In spite of inconveniences I'm mentioning here, I still think it's a great hostel to stay in, especially during low season (I stayed there in January). I have to admit that during my stay the awkward bathroom "situation" didn't bother me much, as I was berely crossing anyone in there. Although, I'm not sure I would choose this hostel during the high season, as a female solo traveler.

This is a new hostel, so don’t be concerned about the lack of reviews! Modern and clean bathroom Very good aircon in our room Lovely neighbourhood. Trastevere, cute shops, restaurants and lanes all in walking distance. Short bus or walk over the bridge to the main attractions. Had a simple but nice breakfast both mornings, and enjoyed sitting in the main area.

The night shift receptionist was very nice and professional

I highly recommend this place for those who want to visit Rome and be close to the main or center areas. This is walking distance from the Vatican City and of course the Trastevere area (which is full of life during the day and especially during the night and beautiful churches for hearing Mass and prayer) and the river outside of this vicinity makes the stay more lovely. The staff is really nice as well, there were two of them during my stay. And they are accommodating to guests as well. I like the lobby as well where you can sit and relax. And the free water provided in the lobby. I like that there's storage room for luggages and bags that can be used for free.

The hostel was located in a very historical building - that was exciting - but also renovated to be comfortable enough for a 3-night stay. The entrance was a bit tricky to find, but the staff was trying to help through text messages. What I like best was that the beds were not bunk beds but individual beds.
