Oh, man, I’m sad that we already paid for a hotel in Rome! Yellow sounds like a lot of fun and very affordable, too. I like meeting other travelers on the road, but my husband is not a fan of hostels so we have never tried them.
Hey – the good thing with hostels is that more and more of them have private rooms, sometimes also with bathroom ensuite. This way you can have both ;) Have a great time in Rome!
