What guests think

Borgo Ripa Urban Travel earns praise for its walkable Trastevere location and friendly, helpful staff, with several guests noting clean rooms and a sociable hostel atmosphere that suits budget travelers seeking a central base to explore Rome on foot.

Others describe inconsistent housekeeping, with communal bathrooms becoming dirty during the day and shortages of soap or paper. Facilities feel basic: some lockers do not work, entry codes or the front gate can be tricky, and there is no elevator. Expect a straightforward, hostel-style stay with simple, sometimes noisy rooms and minimal amenities.

Stayed one night, loved that it was central to so many good places to see in Rome! Easy to find, easy to walk from, around the corner was the best small restaurants. Felt super safe as a solo female traveler. FYI- bring your own towel and small (skinny) lock. My normal storage lock was too big.

The entrance passcode provided in the email was incorrect. Had to wait at the front gate for 5-10 min and called a couple times before someone finally picked up the phone and gave me the correct code to enter. They have charged my credit card before my arrival and I wasn’t given the option to pay by cash. The lock of the front gate was malfunction on my 3rd day of stay hence people couldn’t go out and were stuck inside for 15 minutes. The room I stayed was next to the stairs and there were door closing noises throughout the night. Overall a clean and safe place for backpack travellers.

Stengulvet på værelset var super støvet, døren til vores værelse stod åben da vi tjekkede ind, masser af støv på spejlet på badeværelse, skraldespanden på badeværelset var fyldt med gammel muggent frugt, klædeskabet lugtede for færdeligt så man kunne ikke lægge sit tøj i skabet. Aircondition er slukket i vintersæson (25 grader i oktober) vandet i badet skal løbe i 3 min, før det er varmt. Håndsæben er en 3 liter stor beholder. Ingen elevator.

La habitación estaba bien, la cama era comoda. Pero yo seleccioné habitación de solo mujeres y no se menciona que los baños son mixtos, para mi si es incomodo y me hubiera gustado saber antes sobre esa situación. Esta en una zona bonita, pero hay que caminar mucho para tomar los camiones que te llevan a los sitios turisticos. De las 3 noches que reserve solo utilice1 y opte por reservar en otro lugar.

Era mi primera vez hospedándome en un hostal y gracias a esta experiencia quedé completamente enamorada. Las instalaciones estaban impecables y eran muy cómodas. El personal, especialmente Giulia, fue increíblemente atenta y amable, me hicieron sentir como en familia. La ubicación es perfecta: amé caminar por las calles de Trastevere, y todo estaba lo suficientemente cerca como para ir caminando y disfrutar de los alrededores

Our room was big with tall ceiling height, but this being a hostel meant that everything was quite basic, no fridge, and no shampoo or shower gel. The drawer by the bed was also broken, and the room is next to a highly trafficked road. On the positive side, the location is very good, with waking distance to all the sight we wanted to see. Overall, an okay stay for the price.
