I enjoyed my staying in this hostel. The welcoming staff make your staying memorable with their best sense of humour and hospitality. The lock time from 10:00 to 16:00 is little bit annoying but anyways it was not as problemetic as it seems.

Positives: 10 mins from Vatican and about 30 to Trevi fountain in the other direction. Pretty cheap. Although the kitchen and common room are fairly small, they are close together and near rooms so its easy to meet other people. The rooms, or mine at least, we're spacious. NEGATIVES: Strict lockout from 10am until 4pm - for 'cleaning'. However, during... More

Regarding to this review we would like to justify that the lock out time from 10:00 to 17:00 written very clearly on our all websites we work with . And about the music, with respect to the laws and the guests who prefer sleeping instead of partying ,the music is stopped playing at 24:00. And about the reviews, all reviews... More

"Party party sangria" hah what a joke. They play loud music from 8:00 - 00:00 then at 00:00 its light out or leave. Staff can be very rude, to the point of yelling, then can be nice offering things like a cup of tea. 10am you must leave the hostel, lockout till 4pm. They dismantle the bunk beds and remove... More

This place is ok but the lock out until 5pm is annoying. Free wifi but only during certain times of day? It's a very social hostel but loud until 12am. No AC, no blankets and very minimal security. The lockers in the room were flimsy and could be broken into. The bathrooms/showers were nice. In short, this hostel is aimed... More

This was easily the worst place I've ever stayed in. Our booking we'd made 3 months in advance at another hostel had been "lost" so the other hostel put us in this grim, dirty dungeon as a replacement. Not Happy Days fault though of course. Rooms were shocking, bed was a tiny rotten foam cutout with a filthy fitted sheet... More

It is very simple with this place - it is not for everyone. Be relaxed, and just take things easy, and only then you will be able to enjoy the best of "Happy Days" - I met so many nice people, had great conversations - I had never seen such socializing in any other hostel before. Interact with people -... More
