The Beehive

Very good stop if the train station or metro is frequently used. Also great (3 mins walk) if you've arrived at FCO then got the train to the city. Very nice/helpful staff. Single rooms are basic with no tv or fridge, but comfortable.

Within walking distance from the Termini. The hostel is a very nice place to say. Vegan friendly and awesome dinner with other hostel residents.

We stayed 5 nights in mid-June. I did a lot of research via Trip Advisor, Rick Steve's and Rome Wise before booking. "Yulie" was the receptionist our first 2 days. She is kind and helpful and stayed past her long shift texting the owner and trying to help us get the A/C to run properly the 2nd night. It had worked the first night, but I was awake a good bit and noticed it vibrated a lot. These are wall units designed to run with a special key while in the room. She ended up offering my daughter (18) and I a twin room next door. My husband stayed in our room and had a miserable night - Rome was extremely hot during our visit. The next afternoon we met Steve. He was not a bit friendly from the start. He offered us a free breakfast for the inconvenience and we had also switched rooms. He also informed us nothing was found wrong with the A/C. On the 5th day, we left very fast to catch an early train to Assisi. I had taken the A/C key off the chain the evening prior when my husband stayed in the room. We forgot it in the unit and received an e-mail from Linda with a reprimand that housekeeping found it. I quickly apologized and explained what happened. The day we checked out we felt Steve wanted us to leave despite very little interaction. This was a huge trip we had planned for 3 years and we went on to a wonderful 10-day cruise in the Med. Unfortunately, we left The Beehive feeling odd and rejected over what seemed to be an issue over the A/C - total opposite to most reviews.

We loved the friendly, caring atmosphere. The location also can’t be beat!

The Beehive was recommended to me by an acquaintance for an overnight stay getting on and out of Rome. The location was fantastic. It is two blocks from Roma Termini train station, which makes getting to/from the airport convenient. For only 6 euros you can take an airport shuttle bus, or the express train for about twice that. The staff were friendly and helpful. I especially like how they provide dinner for a very reasonable 10 euro minimum. It's a wonderful way to meet others and not have to worry about finding a decent place to eat. And for 2 euros a glass (or 7 euros the bottle), the local wine is a steal. They also use dispensers in the shower for bath gel and shampoo that limits waste produced by one-use plastic bottles.
