Melting Pot Rome, hotel in Rome

Just 300 metres from Manzoni Metro Station, Melting Pot Rome is in a 1890s neighbourhood of Rome, 2 metro stops from Termini Train Station. It offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi.

The reception is covered 24/7, and they answered the phone when contacted. Out of all hostels in Rome, this is by far my favourite for it permits its guests enough privacy and provides all comfort of a hostel, like the fully equipped kitchen. I stayed in a three-bedded female dormitory and it has a good shower too.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I recently stayed at a hostel that was very convenient and easy to reach. It’s close to the Roma Termini Railway station and the Vittorio Emanuele Metro station, making it simple to get around the city. The location is perfect for visiting main historical attractions. The rooms are clean and tidy, which made for a comfortable stay. The vibe of the hostel was really enjoyable and added to the overall positive experience. I would highly recommend this hostel to budget travelers looking for a great location and good atmosphere.

    Great location - 5 minutes to Castel Sant'Angelo, Vatican, hop on hop off bus station, Tibera, ... Nice host, who arranged much cheaper taxi back to the airport, than what we paid when we arrived. Very well equiped apartment, including necessary groceries in the kitchen, like olive oil, vinegar, salt, coffee, tea ... Plenty of restaurants around the area, market around the corner, pastry shop / pizza place just across the street. You feel very safe in this neighborhood.

    Really very good budget option for single female travellers as this is female-only hostel rooms There are some double-rooms, but in general, this place feels very safe and beds are surprisingly comfy, not the type you expect from the hostel they have storage rooms (you need lock) and now introduced late night reception, which is AMAZING Also, don't forget common small kitchen facility on 5th floor and terrace on 6th floor Also, i saw they agreed to refund a guy who made a reservation there by mistake - which was very nice of them

    The room is really close to the train station which is helpful. Good to have a safe and extra blankets and pillows are available. It’s a very cheap stay and the facilities reflect this. Great to have Netflix available and a nice treat to have a working aircon/heater. The hosts are really responsive which is so great and helpful.
