Housed in an apartment building close to Termini station, the rooms are huge and the hostel has discount deals with restaurants and the laundrette nearby!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23202 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21356
Less than a 10-minute walk from the city centre's main arrival point, the Termini station, Hostel des Artistes is located in an old apartment building on a quiet backstreet. It isn't luxury, but it is extremely cheap, and for your money you get security, good standards of cleanliness, impressively large bathrooms, and a lovely roof terrace.

It may not be in the Centro Storico but its transport connections are fantastic - you can get to almost anywhere in the Eternal city easily by bus or metro from the nearby Termini. There are also a handful of cheap eateries and minimarkets nearby for bargain breakfasts, pastries, or to make a packed lunch.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21356 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21035
The private bedrooms have elegant high ceilings and long glass windows and drapes and the bathrooms are decked out in very modern black tiles and white units. The staff are always very helpful and the location is convenient, being close enough to the city center and just around the corner from the main train station. It’s a brilliant place to stay when trying to save money on your trip.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21035 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18877
It's set a couple of stops on the metro away from the city centre, in a smart suburb near a couple of excellent (and well priced) restaurants. Out back there's a lovely garden (with fruit trees and vines), perfect for lounging around in on warm summer evenings...

But what really makes it special is the people who run it. Fabrizio is a giant of a man, who literally pressgangs his guests into sharing his food and wine (or grappa), and insists on giving them detailed instructions for how to get the best out of his beloved city. Special guy, special place.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18877 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12689
I've stayed all over Europe and the States in hostels and this place is at the top of my list.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12689 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10917 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10917 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3220 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3220 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1344 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1344 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1281 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1281 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/234 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/234
