Ups & downs. Amazing location outside NE wall of Vatican. Internet only worked 1 of 4 days we stayed, & staff didn't attempt to fix. Bathrooms have GLASS WALLS, except for small strip of etched glass in shower. Rooms & views nice (3 of 4 facing the Vatican wall & tram/bus square; 4th a simple courtyard). Bars w/ patios are beneath rooms, & noise travels in windows until 1am'ish- especially Fri/Sat. Complimentary breakfast is a complete meal, however must be obtained 1 block away at partnering cafe. Only 1 of our room outlets worked w/ adaptor. Fantastic common area in S rooms wing, but when hostel's full, owner rents it out as a room. "Toiletries provided"= liquid soap. Cheap dining/shops near. Someone's almost always in office, if you knock. Not a typical, social, hostel, moreover a decent place to rent a room.
