The prices at this hostel are the average as in other hostels in Rome, so book on time and stay somewhere else. We stayed there because we didn't have other option, we got to Rome late at night without hostel reservation, we walked and walked and walked without luck, so M&J was the only one with beds available, no wonder... more

Really terrible, since we got there, the staff were really horrible to us. All the "included stuff", is awfull. The breakfast was the worst breakfast we´ve seen in a hostel, the rooms downstairs are new, but they ent us to an upper room, they were really dirty and creapy old. Internet was as if we got back to the 1995...... more

We arrived in Rome early afternoon,very tired as we had an early start. We arrived at the hostel to find a young women complaining that her digital camera has gone missing from her room, and was told why would they take your camera and nothing else,all the reply she got was I used to work selling cameras and you would... more

Seriously, if there are so many bad reviews...you know there is truth to them. The good: the sheets are clean and white and starchy. The bad: Everything else. The management was rude and always looking to take you for more money. Even the owner was downright rude and has no concept of treating his paying customers with respect. Different desk... more

It is always a bad idea to arrive in a large city with out accommodation booked - then accept the first place you walk into that has beds available, just becuase you are tired, cranky and lugging a realy heavy back pack! We arrived in Rome in the rain, lobbed into the M & J and booked a double room... more

Other reviews on this website, don't give a very good impression, but for me and my girlfriend, we enjoyed it. The hostel was in a bit of a dark quiet area around the back of the main train station, didn't look impressive as we walked in, we went up the stairs, to which we were greeted by the friendly staff.... more

DO NOT BOTHER. Walked in off the street and made a booking as the reception was very modern, and where told of great facilities, Room photos looked great, was hopefull it was to be as great as it was made out to be, Upon arrival, the staff were not friendly at all, rude, arrogant and not welcoming. They tried telling... more

This was the worst experience of our 3-week trip in Italy. Be careful: appearances can be deceiving! While the rooms looked fantastic since they had recently been renovated nothing works and the staff was atrocious! We came to at the M&J Hostel so we could spend our last night in Rome near the Train station. We were thrilled to see... more
