We opted for a hotel close to the Roma Termini. It was a great choice. Beds were comfortable. It was quiet. Staff were nice. Clean.

The room was not clean and it smelled like sewage. It was obvious staff knew because the window was wide open. We checked in late and exhausted. I should have complained and asked for a different room but instead we tried not to gag all night. Couldn’t wait to get out of there in the morning. When I told them the room was uninhabitable due to the smell they did nothing.

This is an odd hotel. If it was cheaper, I would give it a better review, but it wasn’t. It is located close to the Rome Termini train station, so that was a good thing. But, that also means it is surrounded by tacky souvenir shops and lots of dive restaurants and bars. The hotel is in an old building that houses another hotel and businesses. There was a lot of noisy and dusty construction going on in the upper floors, so the elevator (placed in the middle of the original buildings stairwell) was slow. The room was okay, but the floor was really dusty (probably from the construction.) The sink was outside of the toilet and shower in the room, and the toilet/bidet was separate from the shower. The shower was dark and strange with the drain located at the base of the shower door. There were only two electrical outlets in the room. The breakfast was okay (good coffee), but I wouldn’t pay extra for it. The staff tried to be nice, but they seemed a little stressed and cranky. Overall, our stay was okay, but not really worth the money.

This was perfect for a family of four (8year old and 10 year old). Right near the main train station so easy to get to once arriving from the airport, could hop on the Metro as well. We had a room which a double bed and then a wall and singles on the other side. Is a 3 star rating but can’t actually fault the place for what we wanted it for. Good accommodation to sleep in with a family whilst exploring Rome. Breakfast was basic but then we are not use to continental breakfast.

It is a no trills hotel. However if you are enjoying the sights and sounds of Rome, you just need a place to sleep. The room is warm, so i slept with the window open. I had my wife and kids with me and they put in two cots for my kids. The room card has to be put in this thing where the power comes on which is new to me. Breakfast was ok, it is not free unless you prepay. The serve the same breakfast every morning, eggs, little hotdogs, breads, cold cuts, and yogurts. The staff is nice and there alot of wonderful restaurants and fast food places nearby. There is also alot of gift shops and markets. The train station nearby is convenient. They also message me about a shuttle ride to the airport which i use. I recommend this hotel

Best place to stay in Roma( beside Roma-Termini) you need to walk no more that 30 minutes to the main atraccions in Roma , to go the vatican you need to get there by metro otherwise you dont need spent $$ in transportation. Breakfast included is amazing !! The building ummm is not the best but rooms are clear and so clear and not issues with the base.
