Pop Inn Hostel

Cheap Accomodation near Termini

We, a group of 5 friends, stayed in Pop Inn Hostel for two nights. The hostel was literally next to Termini and is located on Via Marsala, nonetheless, from the platform where airport train, Leonardo Express, terminates to Via Marsala's exit is quite a walk. So, don't take the exit next to Leonardo's platform and rather walk in the direcion of the train until the walkway ends on another perpendicular walkway, take right and you will find Via Marsala's exit.
The hostel is located in a happening commercial area, there is not much special about the hostel other than its convenient location. Reception is located on the 2nd floor, and you may find Laura, the lady who runs the show, on the reception upon your arrival. They have other staff too who are friendly in the first look but their information level is limited to typical tourist attractions. Security is not that bad but not that good too, you may need to keep an eye on your stuff. The biggest problem we faced was the availability of electric sockets for recharging our gadgets. They have limited outlets in rooms and even those outlets were out of order. We often used one in the bathro om. They have charging facility in the reception area but upon your own risk. So atleast one of us had to sit down to watch for our charging gadgets. I think that they are partially inspired from Ryan Air as they took a deposit of 20 euros for each piece of electric socket we borrowed from them. In future, they might think of renting them out.
We stayed in the dorm, where 8 beds were fixed in a small room, but the room was clean and liveable specially when we were on a short trip. There was one combined bathroom which was not fully functional but was clean and doable.
The best thing was the location, we did not have any problems in moving around in our two days stay and we did Colosseum, Roman Forum, Platine Hill, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Vatican, Corso, a walk along the Tiver River, etc which would have not been possible if we were not living in the close proximity of Termini.
Breakfast was also included, it is served in a nearby cafe and is simple: one drink with croissant, so we alway s had to buy something from nearby stores to supplement this.
Overall the experience was good but I would search for a better accomodation near Termini the next time.

Unique Quality: Literally next to Termini, located in a happening but touristy vicinity, and walking distance from many tourist attractions.
