The Basics: Alessandro Palace Hostel
Located on a quiet street not far from Termini Station, the Alessandro Palace Hostel is a well known backpacker spot that offers private and dorm-style rooms. And get this: The hostel’s bar features a large-scale ceiling mural of Michelangelo’s “The Creation”! How’s that for cheap-and-chic?

The Basics: Hostel Lella
Centrally located just north of Rome’s Termini station, the Hostel Lella is a good, reasonably priced base from which to explore the Eternal City. The busy Corso Italia is just a few blocks away.

The Basics: Funny Palace Hostel
Located a few blocks north of the Termini train station in central Rome, the Funny Palace Hostel has a funny way of welcoming guests. You check-in via a kiosk in a busy laundromat before getting your room key. And while you’re there, you’re given a discount on laundry services!

The Basics: Rome City Hostel
Located in a quiet, mostly residential area of Rome (it’s about a twenty-to-thirty minute walk to Termini rail station), but within a few minutes’ stroll of a metro stop, the Rome City Hostel deals in cozy, budget accommodations for families and backpackers.

The Basics: Blue Hostel
The Blue Hostel is so close to Rome’s central Termini train station that the manager will come to meet you and walk you to the property  himself. The hostel, more like a cheap-and-chic B&B, is housed out of a former convent dating to the 17th-century.
