My experience at Jo&Joe was exceptional! It was my first time ever staying at a hostel, but honestly, it’s hard to even call this a hostel. Everything exceeded my expectations, from the room layouts and facilities to the cleanliness and overall atmosphere. I was extremely impressed! On my first night, I asked to change rooms (for no urgent reason, just a personal preference), and the staff assisted me immediately without any hesitation, even though my request was a bit indulgent. Every staff member I encountered—whether at reception, housekeeping, the restaurant, or the bar—was incredibly friendly, always smiling, and ready to help. A standout moment was when I inquired about renting a hairdryer. At the time, they didn’t have one available, but later that same day, a staff member who remembered my request went out of their way to reserve one for me and handed it over as I passed by. It was such a thoughtful and kind gesture! The staff truly are problem-solvers, fully dedicated to ensuring guests feel comfortable and happy throughout their stay. The interior design is clever and stylish! Most of the other guests were young professionals—decent, friendly people who I even made friends with during my stay! As a first-time solo traveler woman, I felt extremely safe and at ease at Jo&Joe. I’ve already recommended it to all my friends and wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else if I ever return to Rome. THANK YOU!

Rodrigo

From

Argentina

I was really impressed by the size of the room (4-bed dorm), other hostels would definitely have put another 4 beds in. The bathroom was modern, the bed was comfortable, and had a personal light and a socket right next to it. The kitchen seemed well equipped and the place was very clean. There's a nice courtyard as well, and it seemed sociable enough around dinner time. I had an early flight from Fiumicino so being so close to Termini was really handy as well!

Lisa HOUSE

Sasha

From

Portugal

Extremely clean everywhere. The room feels spacious and the beds had light curtains around which gave a feeling of privacy. I didn't meet Lisa but her parents let me in and were very friendly and kind. It's nice and quiet as it's in a residential area - although this means it is out of the main centre it's easy enough to get a bus 170 from Piazza Venezia and get off just around the corner from the hostel. Also easy to walk across the river and visit the huge Basilica St Pauls fuori le muri that has a lovely cloister.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
