The Beehive

A small hostel a step from the station

The Beehive was opened in 1999 by a couple who arrived in Rome with two cats and a Swiss army knife, as they tell it themselves. It is at Via Marghera, 8, a few minutes' walk from Termini station, so you arrive from the airport on the Leonardo Express and do not have to cross the city with your luggage. It is a place designed for those travelling alone or as a couple, with a quiet atmosphere, not a party one.

Dormitories and rooms

There are mixed dormitories of 4 and 6 beds and one women-only dormitory of 4 beds, with a lockable locker, ceiling fan and air conditioning, a light and socket at each bed and the bed made on your arrival; towels can be rented. The private rooms are single or double, with shared bathroom (five bathrooms for seven rooms) or with private bathroom and, in some, a balcony. Some of the rooms are in the same building but with a separate entrance.

Common areas

There are two kitchens for guests, a small one upstairs and a large one downstairs, a lounge with a desk and board games and an enclosed garden courtyard, in the shade of a large tree, where activities are held in the warmer months. They organise visits and classes themselves and give advice on eating well without overpaying. Reception by phone from 9:00 to 21:00.
