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!

The location was brilliant, right in the heart of Rome, a stones throw from Termini. The staff were fantastic from before I arrived until after I left. They were extremely helpful, open and welcoming. The work of the staff really led to the great atmosphere in the hostel. A brilliant stay, highly recommended

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.

    I recently stayed at a hostel that was very convenient and easy to reach. It’s close to the Roma Termini Railway station and the Vittorio Emanuele Metro station, making it simple to get around the city. The location is perfect for visiting main historical attractions. The rooms are clean and tidy, which made for a comfortable stay. The vibe of the hostel was really enjoyable and added to the overall positive experience. I would highly recommend this hostel to budget travelers looking for a great location and good atmosphere.

    Really very good budget option for single female travellers as this is female-only hostel rooms There are some double-rooms, but in general, this place feels very safe and beds are surprisingly comfy, not the type you expect from the hostel they have storage rooms (you need lock) and now introduced late night reception, which is AMAZING Also, don't forget common small kitchen facility on 5th floor and terrace on 6th floor Also, i saw they agreed to refund a guy who made a reservation there by mistake - which was very nice of them
