Conveniently located near Termini Station, the Alessandro Palace Hostel is a lively place offering dorm beds and private rooms at reasonable rates.

The Alessandro Palace has a convivial, youthful vibe, complete with on-site pub and organized pub crawls. It all adds up to a very friendly budget experience.

In addition to four-, six- and eight-bed dorms, the hostel offers private doubles and triples. Rooms at the Alessandro Palace are large and bright, with an interesting mix of pink, green and orange fabrics set against utilitarian furniture (bunks in the dorms and basic beds in the privates).

All rooms are equipped with air-conditioning, a private bathroom and a safe or locker. Double rooms also feature a mini fridge and TV. Both rooms and bathrooms are simple but clean. 

Downstairs, the Alessandro Palace is a lively place, decorated with a kitschy mix of fake Roman columns and stone paneling. There is a seating area with a bank of computers (available for a fee), and the reception staff has an “if we don’t have it, we will try our best to get it” attitude.

The Alessandro Palace has a cool rooftop garden. The bar, done up in stone with historic Rome murals and replica busts, offers satellite TV and cheap drinks. Cheapos will love the daily happy hour specials. 

Wi-Fi is available for free, and the hotel does not currently offer any breakfast.

Location: Very central

1.9km to city center

In its defense, the area north of Stazione Centrale Termini is both convenient and affordable. On the convenience front, trains heading to Fumincino airport and across Italy depart from this massive structure. The front of Termini is a tangle of bus stops, and Rome's two metro lines, as well as markets and shops.

That said, the area north of Termini is not the most picturesque area in central Rome by a long shot. The semi-circle of streets north of the station is bordered by the Piazza della Republica to the west and the Villa Borghese parkland to the north. In between are hundreds of hotels and very few tourist attractions. Although always crowded and sometimes a little seedy, there is an upside to this neighborhood. Lots of competition in every hotel budget category can make for good rates.
