The hostel's location is just perfect - it really lets you fully experience Rome, as lots of attractions are within walking distance. The rooms and bathrooms are clean and the personnel is friendly :) In spite of inconveniences I'm mentioning here, I still think it's a great hostel to stay in, especially during low season (I stayed there in January). I have to admit that during my stay the awkward bathroom "situation" didn't bother me much, as I was berely crossing anyone in there. Although, I'm not sure I would choose this hostel during the high season, as a female solo traveler.

There are some improvements that could be made, concerning bathroom's. First of all, they're mixed which doesn't really make sense as the hostel offers the possibility to book a bed in all female room. Also, at least at the floor where I was staying, there where two bathroom areas, so one could be easily dedicated to women and other to men. It's impossible to lock the door of some toilets (even when there's a key inside, it doesn't seem to work). Shower cabins don't have locks and what's more - there's no "dry zone", just the shower cabin straight away, which is quite inconvenient.

I really like the location. I think its in a great neighbourhood for good Roman food and major sites are walkable. I bought a Roma pass but barely used it because everything was only really up to a half hour walk.

No hand towels or hand dryers in the bathrooms. A lack of privacy in the bathrooms for example, theres a huge window in the bathroom you can see into and the shower doors are only frosted in the middle so someone tall enough can look into the showers or if you are shorter than 5’4’’ anyone outside can peak under and see your butt.

This is a new hostel, so don’t be concerned about the lack of reviews! Modern and clean bathroom Very good aircon in our room Lovely neighbourhood. Trastevere, cute shops, restaurants and lanes all in walking distance. Short bus or walk over the bridge to the main attractions. Had a simple but nice breakfast both mornings, and enjoyed sitting in the main area.

Didn’t seem to be as social as other hostels, but perhaps this is because it’s new. Still met really nice people. I found it hard to find the entrance of this hostel- aim for Sant'Isidoro Pizza & Bolle - Ripa Grande, go in the gates and turn left to a glass door.

Nice staff, convenient location, and reasonably priced.

The hostel is very difficult to find (because of poor signage). This isn't the fault of the hostel itself. Local bylaws prevent them from putting up a big sign. This should be better communicated to guests. You also need a code to enter the building before ever checking in, which is a little unusual. This was communicated in an email. However, this very important information was easy to skip over (which I did) and negatively affected my first impression of the hostel.

The night shift receptionist was very nice and professional

The morning shift receptionist can be more welcoming Its was my second time and I found them again a bit cold

I highly recommend this place for those who want to visit Rome and be close to the main or center areas. This is walking distance from the Vatican City and of course the Trastevere area (which is full of life during the day and especially during the night and beautiful churches for hearing Mass and prayer) and the river outside of this vicinity makes the stay more lovely. The staff is really nice as well, there were two of them during my stay. And they are accommodating to guests as well. I like the lobby as well where you can sit and relax. And the free water provided in the lobby. I like that there's storage room for luggages and bags that can be used for free.

The bathrooms are mixed. I would shower fairly early to avoid unexpected incidences. During our stay, they have started to blur the shower doors as well because it's fairly transparent and it only covers the sensitive body parts during shower. And there are no locks in the toilet and shower doors. I would appreciate if the doors can be locked for privacy since it is a mixed bathroom.

The hostel was located in a very historical building - that was exciting - but also renovated to be comfortable enough for a 3-night stay. The entrance was a bit tricky to find, but the staff was trying to help through text messages. What I like best was that the beds were not bunk beds but individual beds.

The shared restroom was shared gender as well, which was not known apparently to other guests as well. Showers and toilets did not come with a lock too. I think it should be stated in the restroom to prevent any awkward situations. Would be nice if the restrooms were cleaner.

It's in a great location near historical sights, and the hostel is in a repurposed building from the 1600s, the flooring still from that era. Once you go through the gate, you have a view of a beautiful garden. You will turn to your right and go on a path with large flower pots (see image). The place was very clean and tidy, including the bathrooms. I had initially reserved a 6-bed room, but they kindly and voluntarily upgraded me to a 3-bed room (possibly because it wasn't that busy). They had lockers in the rooms, generous size, enough to fit a carry-on luggage and a backpack, but make sure to bring your own lock. The staff I interacted with was very nice and friendly. I only stayed for one night, but I would definitely recommend.

Just like most apartments here in Italy and any other historical buildings, be ready to take the stairs.

We were in a very bad situation as we spent the first night in Rome ou on the street, on a flight of stairs, as our previous apartment managers gave us wrong codes and we had no place to go! After hours on the phone with booking, we called Borgo Ripa about a relocation and we were kindly answered by Lorenzo and he was amazing!!! We were greeted with a big smile, he was so kind, helped us out, gave us an amazing room and let us get in right away! It really changed the game for us as we were so tired, mad and sad and it was a breathe of fresh air for us! The place is like a small villa in the middle of Rome, close to the center, nothing fancy but very stilish, super cozy and with and amazing river view! We really loved our stay and I would recommend to anyone that wants to have a cozy and comfortable experience! Thanks again to Lorenzo - you are the best 🙏

The girl at the desk was very nice and welcoming :) The location is amazing, at the heart of Trastevere inside a quiet garden area and there's also a nice cocktail bar downstairs if you want to chill and enjoy. The indoor design is cool, I like the vibes. The room were spacious and silent and the toilets clean.

Although I really like the place, there were few things I didn't like. For some reasons in the evening after 8pm there were not water for showering any more so two night I could not shower at all... that was quite annoying. Also, next to my bed there were not any plugs to charge the phone during the night, so a bit inconvenient.
