Evenings, Shared Kitchens and Social Life — How to Meet People at Ostello Bello Roma Colosseo
People come to Rome for the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and sunsets over the Seven Hills. They stay at Ostello Bello for the rooftop terrace — and for everything that happens after dinner.
You step onto the rooftop and immediately understand why people end up staying there for hours. In front of you are Rome’s rooftops, a barbecue sizzling away, a few hammocks gently swaying, and tables where strangers are already chatting as if they've known each other for years. You drop your backpack and join in.
As the sun goes down, the atmosphere changes once again. Maybe it’s karaoke night, beer pong, a quiz night, or a paint & sip session. No booking required, no planning necessary. Just head down to the bar — open 24 hours a day — and introduce yourself. Before long, you've met one person, then another. And before you know it, your evening has taken on a life of its own.
The themed nights are a lot of fun and a great opportunity to meet new people. The kitchen is well equipped, and there is always free fruit, vegetables, and pasta provided by the hostel. The location is also very convenient. Highly recommended! — Alejandro, 31, Spain
It's easy to socialize with other people thanks to the various events organized every day. The location is excellent as well — I'll definitely come back! — Nina, 26, Germany
Interactive themed activities are organized every evening — pizza night, paint night, and more. It's great to hang out, chat late into the night, and meet interesting people from all over the world. — Hana, 24, Japan
How do I meet other travellers at Ostello Bello Roma Colosseo?
Every evening we host free events at the bar, including Karaoke Night, Quiz Night, Beer Pong, Paint & Sip, and much more. The bar is open 24/7, and our staff are always the first to introduce guests to one another. Most people who arrive alone leave with new friends.
Monday
🧠 Quiz Night
New to Rome and don't know anyone yet? Monday's Quiz Night is the perfect place to start. Random teams, ridiculous questions, and all that useless knowledge you've collected from years of TV shows finally becomes useful. Within an hour, you'll know everyone's name at your table.
Tuesday
🎯 Darts Darts Darts
No skills required, ridiculous competition guaranteed. Darts are the fastest way to start a conversation with someone you've never met before — and to discover your aim isn't nearly as good as you thought.
Tuesday
😈 Maledetto Karaoke
Terrible singer or hidden talent: the stage belongs to everyone. Tuesday and Saturday are the easiest nights to break the ice — staying quiet is practically impossible.
Wednesday

A paintbrush in one hand, a drink in the other. If a relaxed evening sounds better than karaoke, Paint & Sip is the easiest way to meet fellow travellers in Rome — and discover that painting after a couple of drinks is surprisingly liberating.
Friday
