Alessandro Palace Hostel

Fancy staying in a centrally located hostel with plenty of perks under its roof? The Alessandro Palace Hostel is happy to provide a beer and a slice of pizza, along with cheap, clean and welcoming accommodation just north of Termini Station.

Dorm rates here are per person, although the hostel also offers private doubles and triples. Rooms at the Alessandro Palace are large and bright, with an interesting mix of pink and orange fabrics set against wooden furniture.

All rooms are equipped with air conditioning and a safe or locker, and double rooms also feature a mini fridge and TV. Some rooms are equipped with private bathrooms, while others share facilities.

Downstairs, the Alessandro Palace is a lively place, decorated with a kitschy mix of fake Roman columns and stone paneling. The bar, replete with satellite TV and communal fridge, has a pub feel, and the reception staff has an “if we don’t have it, we will try our best to get it” attitude.

And the perks keep coming! The Alessandro Palace also has a cool rooftop garden (open daily from 8 a.m. until 9 p.m.). And the hostel offers free pizzas to all guests at regular pizza parties (every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 8 p.m. until the pizza runs out).

There is also a seating area downstairs with a bank of computers. Each guest enjoys half an hour free of Internet access per day and then must pay €1 for each additional hour. Breakfast is included in the room rate. Some rooms are located in the annex one block away.
