An Oasis in Rome and other Rome, Italy Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

I stayed in the dorm room (22 euro/night) in March 2007. It was very clean, and quiet (not counting the street noise, which wasn't too bad). The beds were comfy, the rooms and bathrooms were spotless. The other guests were a mixed lot in age and nationality (mostly sightseers) but all were respectful of the quiet hours. I've heard the area described as "gritty" but as a single female traveler I always felt safe. I'd recommend this to anyone going to Rome except party animals.

Unique Qualities: There is a free internet connection (often occupied). There is also free wireless if you brought your laptop. The cafe serves great food for reasonable prices. The map and guidebook given were helpful. The Beehive is a short walk from Termini, which is where the two subway lines intersect, so it's easy to get everywhere. Don't let the "organic" or "artsy" labels put you off if that's not your thing, this is a great hotel/hostel. Free soap and shampoo in the bathrooms, which doesn't seem like much but after staying at two more hostels on the trip - yes, it is.
