The Yellow

Via Palestro 49

Description

You choose; hostel or hotel. We have private rooms or shared dorms for the shoestring traveller to the fancy globetrotter. Basically, we can cater to international crowds with a variety of wants, needs and desires.

Our reception staff are available 24 hours, TWENTY-FOUR HOURS, that's right, 24/7, like all day, every day they're there, with their often questionable taste in music but always with a smile and knowledge about our eternal city. You can also just go say, "hello" or "¡hola" or "ciao" or "ellohay" (that's Pig Latin, FYI), "bonjour", our international staff like it in every language.

The bar is also open 24/7 and serves delicious treats all hours, you're welcome.

The dance club, AKA The Arcade, hosts events, travelling musicians perform to stay for free and there's a DJ's every single night. If the heart of the hotel is the bar, the Arcade is the arm you throw up in the air when you do the Harlem shake.

There's also a lounge, if you prefer a quiet cup of tea before you hit the sites. And don't forget to pick up a free map, it will guide you through the city with tasty gelaterias, pizzas and other Roman yummies. Oh, and there's like, cultural stuff on there too, apparently Rome's pretty old and offers lots of famous and secret sites.

“Be careful of the neighborhood”

THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS NOT SAFE. There is a man wearing a cap and jacket that wanders the area that THE HOSTEL KNOWS ABOUT that will try to steal your bag and belongings. The hostel did not warn us...

“Fine if you're on a budget”

The bed pods are made of sheet metal, making an insane amount of noise every time anyone moves. There's also no privacy curtain in the female four-pod, you can use the bedsheet as a makeshift one but...

Directions

Once you get to Termini station we’re a short stroll away:
Walk through the Termini Gallaria, and don’t you dare stop at McDonalds, exit onto Via Marsala turning left. You’ll see a taxi rank, which you don’t need, walk past it and turn right onto Via Vicenza. Then, take your fourth left onto Via Palestro, that’s our street!! You’ll see the bar on the right-hand side, and reception is on the left. Go through the big double doors and then up 12 steps on your left. You’ll find our bubbly receptionists, probably trying to radio shots from the bar, but also ready to check you in and get your adventure started.
