Orsa Maggiore Hostel for Women Only

The place is peaceful and lovely. The sisters are very friendly, patient, helpful. The rooms are large, well air conditioned, and replenished with fresh towels daily. The city connections are great. The tram is only a few steps away. Sublime

I stayed here twice. Once 10 years ago, and once 5 years ago. I wish I could go back, I think it closed down during covid. There was something special about this place, something magical about the building and courtyard, the apricots growing on the trees. It’s location on a quiet street in Trastevere, a feeling that stays with you forever.

Nice women's only hostel. Very spacious. Seemed to be very very quiet while I was there with not many people around at all. Room was very large, unfortunately I found it to be very chilly at night even with 2 blankets on bed. Beds and pillows weren't the greatest. Hostel was extremely clean with cleaning staff doing a very thorough job every day. Bathrooms and shower room well kept. Staff was extremely nice, but as I do not speak any Italian there seemed to be a bit of language barrier when I asked for some recommendations. That being said they always did their best to answer my questions. The location is excellent!

Loved this hostel in Rome. Stayed 4 nights with my 13 year old daughter. We had a room with a double bed, high ceilings, fan, small table and chair. There are many washrooms and showers. There are linens on the bed and a towel was provided at check in. There was never a line up and they always seemed clean. There is a kitchen with fridges to store food, a stove top and a microwave. There is coffee available every morning (no breakfast but some cake/bread is available). The staff are friendly and helpful. The wifi didn’t work in our rooms but there are couches in the hallway where you can sit and connect. The hostel is within easy walking distance to all the major sites and so many fantastic restaurants. The area felt safe and we often were walking back in the dark. There seems to be a mix of young and more “seasoned” travellers. Highly recommend for female travellers.

I spent there 5 nights. It was peaceful. There is a heating system, showers and hot water. I see that the place ( esp toilets) could be more clean and it needs renovation. There are two rooms separated by a 3/4 wall so it was a bit noisy. The staff are nice and helpful. The guests ladies are very nice, and the place is very safe! It is a good place to stay if one is visiting Rome for a few days.

To start, I just want to be clear that the location is wonderful. There's a market with restaurants, shops & street performers just five minutes away. Easily my favourite spot in Rome. It's a ~40 minute walk to the Colassium but a great trek, especially in the morning when there's less tourists about. Very close to the Vatican city and in general, a 15-30 minute walk away from anything you care to see. ||Bathrooms, spotless. Kitchen/common space was fantastic to have. Staff were incredibly nice.||The only reason I'd give here a 4/5 would be the beds. I shared a dorm room with 3 sets of bunk beds. I was on the top bunk and I am a very restless sleeper (lots of tossing) and those beds are not kind for that. The bunks move quiet easily, so if you're a light sleeper I'd suggest requesting a bottom bunk or a no bunk bed room. I felt bad for my bunk mate the whole time. ||But can't beat the price or location!

Was a beautiful place to stay in old Rome. They are a non profit organization that helps aspiring female artists and women in need (something to that extent). It is also a women's only hostel, sorry guys. I felt very safe here and It was very clean. Beautiful, delicious cafe with very authentic food in the center of the complex where the hostel is located. During our stay they had nightly performances that were amazing. There is a large garden to roam in, they will wash your clothes for a fee. It was great and two added bonuses were a pair of kitties I met named Stella and Nina that live in the complex. I did rated 5 stars but I have to be honest, the beds are not 5 star comfort and it was hot. But it's a hostel in old Roam, can't have it all. Also during the summer there are those loud performances in the courtyard so bring ear plugs!

This was a first for me, not only travelling solo but also staying in a hostel. What a fantastic experience I had!! I love Rome and this was my 4th visit so as for the city this speaks for itself. I have to admit I didn't have high hopes for my accommodation, not this hostel specifically, just because I had never stayed in a hostel before. I imagined it was going to be noisy, a bit grubby, quite uncomfortable... How utterly wrong I was!!||The hostel is located just off the main road from the river only a few meters from the entrance to a road and on the 2nd floor of the building, all clearly sign posted and with a lift and lovely outside seating area. ||My plane got in quite late so I knew I wasn't going to make it to the hostel until around 11.30pm. I messaged them a few days before hand to see if this would be a problem and they replied within hours to say it wouldn't be. And they were right. A lovely lady greeted me on arrival, aware there were others sleeping she was quiet but informative and from what I could tell made little disruption to any other guests while making me feel relaxed and showing me around.||I stayed in a 3 bed room which was very spacious, good temperature and had a locker for my things. You need to take your own padlock (and towel!) however. My room mates were both friendly and luckily we all went to bed and got up around the same times as each other!||The bathrooms are cleaned every day and there are 2 lots at either end of the corridor so there was never a queue.||There is a kitchen where you can store food and cook whenever you like. There are a few sofas in the corridor opposite the room which was wonderful if you just wanted to sit and read for a bit before bed as I did.||It's a great base for exploring the city. I walked everywhere personally as I like to take in the scenery, so it was about 5-10 minutes to the Vatican and around 25-30 minutes walk to the Colusseum.||The ladies who run this place are friendly, welcoming and really helpful. I had good nights sleep every night as its nice and quiet there. I felt relaxed, safe and very much at home for my whole trip. Would 100% recommend and will hopefully stay again if I get chance to visit Rome alone in the future!
