"After staying in a fabulous place in Florence, we thought it couldn't get any better, but the Beehive is extraordinary. A beautiful, warm, clean, friendly hostel with free internet and the most incredible CAFE downstairs. The term "hostel" doesn't do it justice. It's home, in Rome."
"The area around Termini is the heart of the budget hotel scene in Rome, and there's one property here that stands above the rest - The Beehive.

"Absolutely nowhere else in Rome will the staff refuse to give you a bill at the end of the meal.

Per Steve e Linda, coppia di americani titolari di questo piccolo 'gioiello' romano, l'apertura (nel 1999) di una struttura ricettiva comoda, accessibile e sostenibile è stata proprio la realizzazione di un sogno, per inseguire il quale hanno lasciato la loro città, Los Angeles, per trasferirsi a Roma"

"The movie Roman Holiday always inspires a romantic reverie of the city. The Beehive, a hotel located in one nook in Rome, shares the same authentic natural beauty of Audrey Hepburn's that makes you want to build a spontaneous intimacy with her. From the meals cooked with fresh organic ingredients to their hospitality, the owners' dedication to providing all guests a warm environment is showed in all details of the hotel. For those who are seeking for a homey feel, The Beehive certainly is the place to stay.
"Close to the now glammed-up, all-glass Termini station, this decade-old hybrid hostel-hotel has one major minus: no en-suite bathrooms. Now that's out of the way, here are all the pluses: it's a self-proclaimed eco-vegetarian place (think recycled toilet paper, meat-free café) with free WiFi and no AC (old palazzo walls are cooling enough) and the onsite garden is an urban oasis. Expat Angeleno owners Steve and Linda are encyclopedic and welcoming while their eight rooms include one that is dorm-style and can berth eight - great for groups."
"Has plenty of style and is bang in the centre of Rome. Two minutes from the main train station, it's run with wholesome flair by two young Americans, Linda and Steve Brenner. Choose from one of the six double rooms, each with cool tiled floors, ceiling fans, white duvets, Italian designer or Balinese furnishings and nice touches such as handmade vegetable soaps and works by local craftsmen. Bathrooms are shared but somehow feel private. There's even an organic vegetarian café in the basement and a small decked garden."
"Ce petit hôtel est géré par un jeune couple américain passionné de design, d'art et d'écologie. Au programme, un conteneur pour le compost, du papier toilette recyclé, de l'huille d'olive biologique... Mais pas de télé !

"Seit 1999 führen die Amerikaner Steve und Linda ihr hübsches Budgethotel in Rom, gleich beim Bahnhof. Das Gästehaus ist mit vielen Fotos ihrer Kinder dekoriert, und die beiden verwenden wo immer es geht Biomaterialien: von der Seife bis zum Olivenöl, das es im Café gibt. Dafür verzichteten sie auf Fernsehen und Klimaanlage - molto simpatico!"

"Déjà propriétaires de The Beehive, charmante auberge cosy et lumineuse, idéale pour familles nombreuses, (très joli jardin, café, chambres triples, dortoirs agréables), Linda et Steve ont monté Cross-Pollinate, un système de réservation online rapide et efficace, avec, en sus, l'assurance que des gens en chair et en os veillent à la qualité des réservations, des prestations et de l'accueil."

"This chic hotel, located two blocks from Rome's Termini Station, offers a sunny, art-filled relief from average, drab budget hotels. Inside, you'll find sleek, modern Kartell and Magis design furniture, lively splashes of color and an array of cozy public areas, from a yoga room to an organic, vegetarian café that features seasonal, locally grown meals. For breakfast, try the cafés's thick slices of bread slathered with ricotta and drizzed with honey."
"Run by an American couple and a cat, The Beehive is an organic hotel for all those whose list of priorities is topped by a healthy lifestyle at any cost. Such patrons are in for a myriad of attractions, among them a truly vegetarian restaurant."
"Steve and Linda sind Amerikaner und eröffneten in Rom das Beehive Hotel 1999. Nur zwei Blocks vom Hauptbahnhof, der Stazione Termini, entfernt, in einem ruhigen, sauberen Viertel befindet sich das kleine Guesthouse in einem großen Apartmentblock. Die Rezeption und sieben Zimmer sowie ein Bio-Café mit hausgemachten Backwaren, in dem gutes Frühstück und Sonntags-Brunch serviert wird, eine Lounge mit Lesematerial und ein hübsch begrünter Innenhof mit Sitzgelegenheiten, befindet sich im Erdgeschoss des Baus. Weitere, nagelneu hergerichtete fünf Zimmer stehen im selben Haus, Eingang um die Ecke, zur Verfügung, diese großteils mit eigenen Badezimmern und Balkon sowie Aufenthaltsraum mit Kühlschrank.
