Property Description

Established in 1990, Sandy Hostel has come to be one of the most popular accommodations in Rome and a well-known place to stay for young travelers. Since its opening it has been recommended in all the main guide books.

The structure is located in Rione Monti, a lively neighborhood close to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Just down the hill you will find the charming cobble-stone streets, Monti proper, complete with fountain for nighttime gatherings. A trendy area, it boasts artisan and vintage shops, a plethora of dining options and cafes, and bustling crowds comprised of residents, artists, tourists, and other colorful folk.

Sandy is a calm, clean, budget-friendly place to crash in the heart of Rome. It is located on the fourth floor of a 19th-century townhouse on Via Cavour, one of Rome’s main roads. Despite being a small property, with no common room and no kitchen, our guests appreciate the cozy, homey atmosphere.

Sandy Hostel is easily accessible from Termini central train station, just a few minutes' walk from the structure. Termini hosts bus and train transport to and from Rome's airports.

We had a private room with en suite bathroom during our stay at Sandy hostel. While Franco is a nice guy, I had contacted him multiple times to fix our toilet during our stay which he would say he would do but never did. As a result, nothing would flush and our bathroom that we paid for was effectively not usable during our entire stay there. This was quite frustrating and inconvenient as I contacted Franco a few times and he still did nothing about it. If you care about facilities, I would recommend bookin

This place was super secure, but communication with the property was difficult. I arrived 5 minutes before check-in ended and no one was there to check me in. I had to wait outside for someone else who was staying there to let me in. I had previously communicated with the property that I would be coming in late but no one was there. Once inside, it was clean and the rooms were nice, but the bathroom is a little outdated. Location was great, but make sure to give yourself ample time before check-in ends.

I stayed at the hostel for 4 nights. It’s a really good location and close to the colosseum. The main train station is less than 10 minutes walk and there is a bus stop outside the hostel and a metro about 3 minute walk away. I used all for getting about the city. Although you have to walk up stairs to get from the street up to the floor where there is a lift, there is then a lift up to the hostel. Frank, the owner, was really helpful and friendly and gave us anything we asked for. The hostel was clean and we had no issues with noise.
