The Beehive Hostel Rome

We have both mixed gender dorm rooms and female only dorm rooms. We provide a small towel for use during your stay by request. Beds are made up for your arrival. Bathrooms are all shared. All beds have personal reading lights and outlets with USB ports. Guests each get a small individual locker with a key for small valuables.

Classic, Sweets and Annex rooms are our three different private room types. All rooms have safes for valuables and depending on the room type there are either ceiling fans or AC, shared or ensuite bathrooms or sink in the room, and can be made up as double beds or with 2 singles depending on the room type. Rooms are simple, bright, colorful and cheery with artistic and personal touches. All guests have access to a communal fridge or mini-fridge depending on the room type. Towels and toiletries are provided. Please note that towels & linens are not changed daily.

The Beehive's small cafe is vegetarian and as organic as possible. We make our own homemade sourdough bread, bagels, pastries, and cakes and use organic, free trade coffee. No buffet here, food is prepped to order. The cafe is open to guests as well as the public. See the menu here. IMPORTANT: please note that we do not have full kitchen use for guests, but we do offer limited self-catering with a refrigerator, microwave, kettle, plates, glasses, and cutlery, but no stovetop cooking facilities. See "Events" below for cafe/kitchen events.

While we're not a party hostel and don't have a bar, we have activities several times a week for our guests to socialize with each other, and with certain events, with Rome locals as well. It's up to you to decide how social (or not) you choose to be.

As environmentalists, social justice activists and vegetarians, we don't just talk the talk but extend our beliefs into our business. We use eco-friendly cleaning products, recycle, use LED lighting, recycled toilet paper, hand towels & napkins, collect clothes and toiletries to donate to the local refugee center and much more.

Linda offers small group walks on Monday mornings and Friday evenings when she is available. Advance sign-up required and at least 3 people are needed for the walk to go. She is also available for private walks on other days of the week in both Rome and Orvieto. The small group walks are €30 per person for Beehive guests.

If you want a more detailed historical tour, we work with several small group walking tour companies that we can recommend and which also give our guests a discount with a promo code. We also work with companies that offer everything from street food to sketching to scooter tours. Send us an email for more information or check at reception during your stay.
