JO&JOE Roma

My overall experience was fantastic! The location is great, with plenty of shops nearby and all the attractions within walking distance. The common areas and restaurant are well-decorated and equipped. The hotel's restaurant serves delicious set menus at good prices, and I highly recommend the roasted potatoes at the buffet. The staff were all incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful. The beds are large with curtains for excellent privacy. My only minor complaints are that turning over in bed or pulling the curtains creates a lot of noise, and the sensor lights in the bathroom automatically turn off. Other than that, it was a superb experience!

Cool, stylish hostel in the heart of Rome. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. Overall, I really liked it!

The best thing about this place was definitely its location. Situated right in the center of Rome, I could walk to major attractions like the Colosseum. Even the Vatican was only a 40-50 minute walk away. I think exploring Rome on foot is the best way to discover hidden gems and sights, rather than taking the subway, and this central location, coupled with the affordable price, was perfect for that. While bidets aren't standard, it was a pleasant surprise for me, as someone used to Japanese washlets, to find a shower hose next to the toilet. On the first night, there was a very loud snorer, and I struggled to sleep even with earplugs. However, after that person checked out on the second day, it was much more comfortable. Being a shared room, it really depends on who you're bunking with. There was even a day when both men and women were in the same room. Each room has an attached bathroom with a toilet and shower combined. However, in a 6-person room with only one bathroom, you have to wait if someone else is using it, which also means waiting to use the toilet. The front desk staff were friendly and left a good impression. There was no need to pay a deposit (only for renting a hairdryer), just the city tax.
