“Il Plancton presents a mixed bag; while its Prati location near the Vatican offers undeniable appeal and a taste of Roman residential life, reports of overbooking and challenging refund experiences raise serious concerns. For travellers prioritizing location and a social hostel atmosphere, it could be a fit, but only with a strong dose of caution and backup plans.”
