The original Hostel Alessandro proved to be so popular that we were forced to open a second one!
With 10 successful years of experience in satisfying independent travellers and backpackers, the Alessandro Downtown Hostel opened it's doors just over 3 years ago. Brand new facilities throughout the hostel and a large common room with adjoining kitchen were designed expressly with the budget conscious traveller in mind.
Continuing the same high quality of services as the Alessandro Palace, the Alessandro Downtown Hostel's exceptional location provides safe and convienent base for independent travellers and backpackers to explore and enjoy Rome.
Like the Alessandro Palace, the Downtown Hostel provides backpackers with a wide variety of amenities, such as a self-catering kitchen, free use of freshly laundered linens, cheap high speed Internet access, free continental breakfast, and much more.
As backpackers themselves, our friendly hostel staff will be more than happy to offer tips and advice for the best deals in Rome.
