Dino – Giolitti Guest House - Rome, Italy

I don’t recommend this hostel. It was an awful experience. There are not keys from the door. A problem occurred with our check in, and there is not wifi at all. Be careful with the choice of this particular hostel, because it is not as in description )

just opposite to the termini train station, really convenient but not if you're checking in. sometimes the staff is out and you have to wait downstairs not knowing when sb will open the front door for you. ring for ARTHUR hostel not DINO.

Very nice crew, excellent position in Rome and very clean and comfortable room!

HORRIBLE!! NOT AT ALL RECOMMENDED, specially if ur a family! first of all we didnt get the original place as it was being renovated and WE WEREN'T NOTIFIED before hand.and the alternative we got was a disaster.dirty living room with suffocating home and dogs everywhere and full of cigarette smoke.i paid for the night and left it with in an hr as it was unbearable.. NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL !!

We have been informed during check - in that instead Dino hostel we would stay at cherry hostel. For us it had what we expected - perfect price and 15minutes walking from di Trevi fountain :) and the centre..very close to Colosseo! But in the mattresses of our roommates were bugs!!They have been complaining a lot. Fortunately our mattress was clean and without bugs. Eventually beds of our neighbours disappeared, so I guess owner had been informed about bugs and they had thrown the beds away! For people who wants to have great location for great price and will not stay in the room (except of the nights) – I would fully recommend it. Enjoy Rome! It is amazing!

The Hostel was really fun, breakfast was included and a nice change from the crossaints we had the 8 days before. The other guests were really nice and the staff as well. The only thing we did not quite like was that we could not lock our room. Except it was awesome.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOSTEL. One of the owners does not speak English and more importantly it is crawling with bed bugs.

there were a lot of small insects - bedbugs... horrible! they changed the proce after arrival to the hostel. they smoked in the kitchen and for the breakfast was only marmalade and bred. (they wanted me to pay extra for it...) at the last night from the 6 bed room they made 9 person room. it was awful unclined, it was stinken from igarets, the elevetor was broken. it was only one + the location but ypu can find a lot of hostels near termini. there were no lockers...even if on the website the wrote something else.

We were supposed to stay for 6 nights last week, and ended up only staying 2 nights. I had to go the doctor on the 3rd day because I was severely allergic to the bed bugs which attacked me both nights. I had to go and find a doctor, get a needle and pay 140 euro. The doctor wrote a signed letter saying I could not stay there anymore and that they should reimburse the doctor's fee and/or the remaining 4 nights accommodation. Neither of these payments were refunded to us. Upon asking, we were yelled at and treated terribly by the person working at the guest house we stayed at (not Dino. Which we weren't aware of until the day we left). We felt scared and trapped by him because of the way he yelled at us and made fun of my doctor's visit and we were scared for our own safety because of how he treated us. Even from the first day he was unhelpful, apparently only changes the bed sheets once a week, despite who has slept in them. There was also no cold running water in the bathroom sink, and the toilet often would not flush. The day I got back from the doctor and we had to leave was the day he yelled and made us feel very unsafe. So we waited outside until another man came (who we were told was Dino, but was not). Dino finally then arrived, but all three men were arguing and we felt cornered. We kept asking for the money back but they would yell at us and talk over us and just tell us they would take us to another one of his hostels in Rome. We did not trust them and I was already suffering from the bed bug bites. They would not let us speak, we felt cornered so we ended up just leaving, without any refunds for the 4 nights we could not spend there (for safety AND health issues). A few other people staying there were arguing with the worker at the one we stayed at, they felt unsafe around him, others got bitten by the bugs and the area in general felt very unsafe.

The owner was kind enough to offer food when i arrived late and shops was closed.i liked the place.

Hi! I was very unconfortable there...If you can avoid it, don't go. I believe it'sbetter to pay a little more and sleep better...The staff is very rude and doesn't make you feel even safe.

They changed the hotel far away from the hotel we made the booking.

Not the most beatifica and safe área in ROME. It is just by the train station. Not só celas and the internet is terrible. Dont really recommend this place unless you want something really Cheap and you don't mind the área or the cleaness of the place. They were nice to me all the time and for everything I needed.

its a nice place, staff is always there if u need something,and they are always for help. its in a nice position, too closer to a metro station

Dinos Guest house is located in the heart of Rome and is managed by a Romano. When i come back Rome, certainly i will stay at Dino guesthouse.

You have to speak or learn Italian in order to communicate with the staff guy!

I staid in this hostel in july 2011. A guy from Brazil was complaining about bed bugs. We didn´t considerer the consecuenses then, but about 6 month after the bugs appear in our home. They are extreemly difficult to kill, they are a really big problem. Be cearfull with these bugs.

Really lovely place to stay, the staff are so welcoming and friendly and great value for money. I would definitely recommend :) Francesca

Rooms were dirty, staff was incompetent and was speaking only italian, there was no water in the bathroom during whole our stay and don't believe in promotions!!!the last day we were kicked out of the room despite we had one more night booked!horrible!the only good thing was location-near termini station but it was also in dangerous area;/ and breakfast?one croissant and coffe;/don't believe in adverts!!

This guest house is terrible. Actually they're closed now. After the first night I stayed there, the staff told me that I had to change the room because they had 5 guests reserved this room. I left my luggage there, and when I came back, there a notice with authority's seal, that means they're closed and the staff lied to me. Fortunately, I was moved to other hostel which is better than the Dino Giolitti guest house.
