I suppose i had quite a nice stay in the Pop Inn Hostel. It is centrally located, just at the central 'Termine' train station. While the staff were relatively friendly, they were just SO slow. For a simple thing like getting a breakfast token in the morning, i had to wait around 25 minutes. There was always a queue at the reception desk. I ended up waisting a lot of time just hanging around waiting to be served. And rome is the one city where every minute is priceless. At 21euro a night (25 in the summer season), the Pop Inn is not Rome's cheapest accommodation. Another fault, is that the rooms are quite crowded. There isn't a lot of space for your things and you find yourself bumping into people. And after a days sight seeing, if you want to come back to the hostel and relax in front of the tv, or chat to fellow sight see-ers, it's not possible after 23:00 as the 'hang-out' room is closed for the night. All in all, i had an ok stay at the Pop Inn, but i have since heard that there are better accommodations to be found in rome, even to be found on the same street.
Unique Qualities: The breakfast is really a treat. It consists of a delicious, fresh croissant of your choice as well as a nice warm or cool beverage and it's included in the price.
