The Beehive

I think this is a pretty fair deal given the price. I recommend it for people who only stay for 1-2 nights but not for a longer stay. I stayed in the hostel for 5 nights straight and since the surrounding is a bit noisy at night, I could not sleep well. And plus the wifi was not working well during my stay so I ended up using my own internet. But the environment a clean and cozy and the staff are friendly, hence we recommend it to people who are looking for a shorter stay.

What a nice suprise. Close to the Train Station.Many restaurants in the surrounding area. Very well appointed Hotel/Hostel. Annex where we stayed was practically new. Recommended if you don't need all the big Hotel trapings.

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.

We stayed in the annex building just around the corner from the main office. The building is old and has character. The room was clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. The location is not far from termini station and was easy access to catch our train when leaving. We didn’t use the main building except for breakfast. The cafe is delicious and was our favorite place to eat our entire stay in Rome.

The beehive is run by a really friendly, helpful couple. I stayed in a private ensuite room. It is in a separate building from the main Beehive (about 100 meters away). Outside the room there is a communal dining area with a fridge and microwave and loads of travel books with top tips from the owners. The Beehive was very quiet and I didn't see any other guests the whole time I was there. (So not a party vibe of that's what you are after...!) It is about a 4 minute walk from Terimin Station. (Perfect if you have a early morning coach to catch to the airport) and about 20 minute walk to the Trevi fountain and Collosseum. The beehive was clean and I felt safe and secure during my time.

I greatly enjoyed my stay at the Beehive, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable accommodation in a city full of hospitality options. The Beehive is located near Termini, which is actually incredibly helpful if you want to catch a train anywhere in town, including the metro. There are some great restaurants nearby, most of which you can find in the app created by Beehive owners Linda and Steve, who are so welcoming and great hosts. Everyone I interacted with who was working at the Beehive was super nice and helpful. The rooms were small and basic but I think that's to be expected, especially from a European hostel! I stayed in a single room and it did have air conditioning which I think is a perk, especially if you were staying in the hot summer months. I also participated in the pasta making class they offer on Thursdays and I would highly recommend participating in these types of activities because it really elevates the experience!
