Mads n. 2010/03/24	Stayed there for a week. All in all an OK place, but nothing extraordinary. The elevator is faulty and the hostel is not responsible for your health if you decided to use it.

All in all an OK place, but nothing extraordinary. The elevator is faulty and the hostel is not responsible for your health if you decided to use it. At least that's what a note at fourth floor says. Toilets and showers could have been combined in all floors. Generally moisty air at almost every floor. Nice and helpful employees. Lousy breakfast. Free dinner. Don't go out late on your own. I did and got beat up by some random people. Read less ▲	overall: 60% Atmosphere: 2 Location: 4 Facilities: 2 Staff: 3 Cleanliness: 2 Value For Money: 4 Security: 4

Quanto a segurança também fiquei tranquilo, a região não é uma das melhores a noite, mas também não é nada de outro mundo, principalmente para alguem do Rio de Janeiro.

Directions

Alessandro Downtown Hostel
From Termini station:

Alessandro Downtown Hostel is located within a 5 minute walking distance from Termini train station. It's very easy to reach the hostel ! :

   1. Exit Termini Station by Track No.22 (with the train tracks at your back, track No.22 is on the left hand side of the station).
   2. Make a left on Via Giolitti, and then take your second right down Via C.Cattaneo.
   3. Continue down Via Catttaneo, until you reach #23 (will be on the left hand side of the street).

From Fiumicino Airport (Leonardo da Vinci):
Follow the signs for "ai treni" to the platform & buy a ticket for the non-stop train to Termini (Leonardo Express). You can purchase from either the ticket window, vending machines, or tobacco store near the platform. The Leonardo Express leaves every 30 minutes. Duration:about 30 minutes

• One way ticket: € 14 (Aug'11)
• A slightly cheaper (but slower) option is to take local train that has the final destination of either Orte or Fara Sabina. It will stop at a few small local stations heading into Rome, but IT DOES NOT stop at Termini Train Station. You need to get off at Tiburtina station (about the 8th stop), and then follow the directions "from Tiburtina" and then "from Termini". Trains leave approximately every 15-30 minutes. Duration: about 1hr-1.5hrs
  One way ticket: € 8.00 + € 1 metro ticket from Tiburtina (Aug'11)

• If you take a taxi, it is highly recommended to take it from official airport taxi stand, not private ones. Duration: about 30-40 minutes (depends on traffic situation)
  Fee: € 40-45 (Aug'11)
• Another easy way to reach city centre from Fiumicino is to take a shuttlebus which departs after every flight. We recommend Terravision service. Duration: about 50 minutes
  One way ticket: € 6 (Aug'11)
