“Hostel Castello Maggiore cultivates a respectful and social environment, appealing especially to young travelers seeking an affordable base close to Rome's main attractions; the shared kitchen and 24-hour service are definite perks. While rooms prioritize function over spaciousness, the air conditioning and comfortable mattresses are welcome, particularly after a day exploring the Colosseum and Trevi Fountain.
