To find this place was pure coincidence as we booked it off a whim, and the great reviews. An incredible find and literally made our stay at Rome. If you've found this place and there's availability, book it. We wouldn't have discovered the "real" Rome otherwise. Travelling as two young girls, safety and advice are key. We were met with...

Stayed at The Ape Latina last July. The location is wonderful, if you walk just 5 minutes through a park you come to the Colosseum and Forum/Palatine Hill. The rooms are of a good quality with comfy beds and clean, with one bedroom with an ensuite room and 2 rooms sharing one bathroom which being a student was no problem!... More

My stay in Ape Latina was FANTASTIC !!!!!! The staff were amazing, perfect location, just a few minutes from the Colosseum and the roman forums !!!!! Andrea and Francesca are very kind and will make you feel at home. Very clean and comfortable !!!!!! I'll be glad to come back again. Highly recommended More

BE WARNED!!! If you book here, you don't actually stay here. I booked a few nights at this HOSTEL but like many other people who have written comments on this site, I showed up to the front door of this DUMP looking apartment building, where I waited for OVER 2 hours until somebody finally showed up and told me that...

Ape Latina was amazing for the price! We had a huge room & comfortable bed. There were other people staying but we never had to wait to use the bathroom. Had a nice kitchen/bar area to fix food and eat at. Very clean & safe! I was with my husband but would stay there alone without any hesitations! The neighborhood... More

After a disaster trying to find the place ( the 'new address' you are told to go to from the website is infact not the correct address) we arrived really annoyed that we had wasted so much time stuffing around. But franchesca was so lovely that we couldn't stay mad. The place is really clean and retro. The rooms are... More

Boyfriend and I stayed here for a week over new years. Paid 440 euro for 7 nights. More expensive in the new year period. This is not actually a hostel, but an apartment. The owner/s are never here, literally. You get your own set of keys upon arrival and come and go as you please. Be sure to advise which... More

We were a little unsure of the location at first but once we found it we were very impressed! For 15 euro a night in Rome, excellent proximity to the metro, walkable to Colosseum, helpful staff. One of the women who owns it, Francesca, was very helpful! Had great tips and ideas for things to do. She told us about... More

We made reservations for a double room with a shared bathroom in Ape Latina. Before leaving for Rome, we wrote 2 email messages to make sure someone would be waiting to greet us at Ape Latina. We met Sandra, a very warm lady, who lead us around the corner, to Via Amedeo VIII, as the rooms of Ape Latina (on... More
