Yellow Hostel

Monti, Esquilino & San Lorenzo


This sharp, 374-bed party hostel offers mixed and female-only dorms (some with en suites), private en-suite rooms, two communal lounges and a clean, well-equipped kitchen. Each dorm bed has a reading light, power point and luggage cage (BYO padlock). The hostel is rapidly colonising the entire street – aka the 'Yellow Square' – with its restaurant, bar, gelateria and bike shop.

What with the bike and walking tours, free pasta sessions, cooking classes, escape room and stacks of other social events it hosts – not to mention DJs, karaoke or live bands every night in its 24hr bar across the street – guests here have little time to actually sleep.
