Youth Station Hostel is located in Rome, 120 metres from Bologna Metro. It offers rooms and dormitories with free WiFi and air conditioning.

Dormitories come with a lockable cupboard. Rooms feature a private bathroom.

It is a great place to stay, with a nice staff and location. Close to the Metro station and Villa Torlonia park. The surrounding area is full of old villas and it was particularly beautiful because of blossoming trees and bushes. Marco (a staff member) messaged me so I was able to check in earlier and communication with the staff was great overall. There was a kitchen with a kettle, an inductive stove, a microwave, and a bunch of dishes. A grocery store is next door with a bakery and some ready meals. Clean lady cleaned everywhere every day. The Wi-Fi was good and there are plenty of tables in rooms and in the kitchen if you need to work a bit.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
