The Yellow Youth Hotel, RomeWelcome to Yellow , Rome's classiest and sexiest accommodation. More than a mere hostel, Yellow has grown to become a Youth Hotel with a vibe and atmosphere like no other in Italy. Forget having to slum it, having to put up with the mess and the smells of typical hostels just because you are a young traveller. Yellow is a different kind of youth accommodation. Yellow is stylish, Yellow is sharp. Yellow is more than just what you need for a great stay in Rome.

Pizzeria del SecoloHandy & easy, pizza by weight. If you don\'t speak Italian it\'s ok. Point the pizza you want to buy and tell them how big you want the piece. They will cut your piece out of a huge pizza. All can be communicated with gestures. Smallest piece about 1.50 Euros. They also make traditional round pizzas on request. We recommend trying the pizza with shrimp and a ranch like dressing.
Via Vicenza, 23, 00185 Roma, Roma (Lazio), Italy
Perfect for cappucino, espresso, freshly squeezed orange juice and other drinks. Like with other bars / cafes in Rome there is a charge to sit down so drink at the bar.

This locations mentioned in this post are mapped within.

Two world-class hostels / youth hotels with on-site bars, a number of quality budget hotels, excellent food, close to the transportation hub necessary to reach all major destinations, plenty of laundry facilities, a barber, a fantastic pizzeria, delicious coffee and much more. One might think that this describes the entire city of Rome, but all this exists within a 100 meter diameter on the corner of Via Palestro and Via Vicenza. And it is only a 5 minute walk from Termini train station in very Italian, safe, clean and relatively quiet neighborhood.

The corner: Via Vicenza / Via Palestro- Exit Termini Station at Track 1
(with the train tracks at your back, track 1 is on the right hand side of the station). Make a left on Via Marsala, and then take your first right down Via Vicenza. Continue down Via Vicenza, until you reach #42 (on the left side of the street).
