Ivanhoe Hostel Rome was infested with bed bugs. Woke up with blood spots all over our sheets. In the following days we found several engorged adult bed bugs within our belongings.

Don't stay here! I sat on my bed and was immediately bitten. They were crawling up the walls and all over the sheets! The guy who worked there then looked shocked when we showed him and said it was from people at the hostel sleeping in parks and beaches, what the? We left straight away! AVOID More

I had my passport and debit card stolen from my pants pockets while i was asleep and used to take out $1500 from my account in the morning (before 9am). Staff was useless when I first discovered this upon waking up and failed to accept any responsibility later in the day. Only 2 lockers in a 12 person room, if... More
