Reviews (8.9 Excellent)
Very Helpful staff, went out of their way to assist and offer suggestions.Would defiantly recommend this property.
We had a wonderful stay in TwinCities on our hike across Italy. In fact we liked TwinCities and Rome so much that when we reached our destination we headed straight back to spend our last couple of days there, instead of on the beach. The property is clean and good value. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The property is central enough due to a regular underground connection. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rome.
It was a very comfortable, clean and homey hostel, and the staff was very friendly to help, too! There were also travel guides, adaptors, and maps that were free to use, which I found very useful! Although a few stops away from the main landmarks, the place was very easy to navigate--directions were very clear. Also very close to some good restaurants, the bank...very convenient! Would definitely go back again!
Great place to go to in Rome. The owner knows great English, and is very helpful. The beds and rooms are kept clean. At night the kitchen (fully stocked) is full of people hanging out, or you can go with a group of people to Rome's night life. There is WIFI with great bandwidth. Banks, grocery stores, and pharmacies are just a quick walk (< 5 min) from the front door. The metro is also just a short walk away. The metro stops running at 23:00, but there are night buses from Rome to the hostel (two blocks away). Would definitely go back to this hostel.
We loved staying there. Thank you for a nice time we had.
