The Beehive Hostel Rome

We have one 4 bed, mixed gender dorm room and two female only dorm rooms. Towel provided free by request. Bed 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 room types. All rooms have safes for valuables and either ceiling fans or AC, private ensuite bathroom or sink in the room, and can be made up as double beds or singles depending on the room type. Rooms are simple, bright, colourful 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 cafe is vegetarian and mostly organic. We make homemade bread 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. Three times a week we have family-style dinners based on donation - a fun & delicious way to meet other guests. We have a reasonably priced pasta making class every Thursday. Limited kitchen use for guests with a refrigerator, microwave, kettle, plates, glasses, and cutlery, but no stovetop cooking facilities.

While we're not a party hostel, 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.

A trip is only made great if you receive (and use) excellent advice and recommendations. Our app contains almost two decades worth of curated suggestions, compiled by our own experience of living in this city and of staying informed about what's new & relevant. We believe strongly in sharing our advice so whether you're here for 1 day or 1 week, we want you to eat well and experience the best of Rome. Download the app here

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 homeless, support refugee initiatives and much more.

Wish you had a local friend in Italy to personally guide you to the sights you want to visit, take you to their favorite places, make sure you eat really well or just make life easier while you're here? Linda would be happy to share her love & enthusiasm for Rome doing things she suggests or specific requests you may have and show you either her Rome or help you discover your own side of Rome. She's not a tour guide, but she'll be your personal navigator or if you want to be more independent she can also help you plan behind the scenes. For more information & pricing check out my page. If you want a more historical tour, we work with several small group walking tour companies that we can recommend and which also give our guests a discount. Send us an email for more information or check at reception during your stay.
