The location seemed unusual when we first pulled in, and the area a bit run down... But as for the hotel and the staff - I have nothing but great things to say. The room was clean and comfortable, the beds were great and the staff were very helpful and friendly.

The hotel is conveniently located near the train station and there’s also a metro station a few feet away. Overall the hotel was clean however, it is more a 2 star hotel; very basic and very much overpriced. We couldn’t get internet in our room and therefore had to sit in the tiny lobby to get online. The location was perfect for us as we were able to walk to the Colosseum and there were lots of restaurants around. If given a choice, I would not stay here again, at least not for the price. Definitely not value for money!

In need of modernisation
The hotel is a short 10min walk from the train station making it a convenient place to stay if you’re going to be in and out of Rome. The area around the hotel is ok but has a lot of homeless people sleeping rough nearby in the evenings which I didn’t realise when selecting a location. They don’t bother you so it’s safe enough to walk past but not ideal. The hotel is on the 5th floor within a shared building and there’s an old lift that takes you up. Unfortunately I had to climb up all the stairs twice - once because another guest kept the doors open whilst they were doing something (for long enough for me to reach the top as they eventually got in) and a second time because it got stuck half way between floors. The receptionist promptly fixed it though so that was appreciated by the guests arriving downstairs with their suitcases! When we arrived we were allocated a room on the 4th floor which didn’t have lift access. As my mum had a knee problem, the receptionist quickly reallocated us to a room on the 5th floor instead, for which we were very grateful. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We didn’t have breakfast at the hotel but it looked like there was a wide choice of options. The rooms are a little dated and in need of modernisation to make it a lighter space to stay in. Overall it was relatively clean, although the floors had only been swept once during our 5 night stay and the toiletries were replenished only when they had run out.

Very nice 3 star hotel
Check in was easy. Staff were friendly . Continental breakfast was very good. Good location, 10 min elk from main terminus, metro 1 min, coliseum 15 min. We did get allocated the smallest room 525 which wasn’t great, but adequate. There is no kettle facility for drinks, however there is a small fridge. The shower pump is noises, so could be right next to my room. Reception kept our bags after check out until we had to leave for the airport, very useful. Overall a pleasant stay😁 on a budget. I would go again.

Friendly and helpful staff. This was an emergency booking after being let down by originally booked 4star hotel and expedia less than an hour before boarding plane to Rome. Hotel decor was tired and lacked facilities, no tea/coffee in room, no smart tv, only had limited italian channels, safe not bolted down, no double bed in our room just 4 narrow singles. Expedia only gave us this 3 star hotel as an option to our originally booked and confirmed 4 star hotel so it was never going to live up to our expected standard, but the hotel did fit us in at very short notice. We are more disappointed with expedia than the hotel, the hotel would be fine if on a limited budget or for short 1/2 night stay.

Staff was very friendly. Walkable to key Rome sites, or front desk will call a taxi, or the Metro is right downstairs. There is a nice park across the street as well. Bathroom was clean except for some mold in the shower grout and floor grout, but after a shower the entire bathroom was wet/damp so I can see why. It was not a turn off for me though.

Solo in Rome
Clean but older hotel. A bit of walk from termini station with luggage. At night was hard to find door at first. As Rome itself has very little street signs. Had to traverse some stairs to get to elevator to reception. And stairs to get luggage back to lobby later from my room. Staff was friendly and helpful with directions. Room itself was a bit dark.lighting at night in room could be improved. Fridge. Tv, bathroom clean, breakfast Was continental... all in all great for budget minded

When we arrived, Mr. Lucio was very kind, the only one and Mrs. Maria at breakfast. The room was very badly cleaned in the bathroom, there was a bad smell of urine when we told the lady that she didn't like it, we had to spray that we had because the smell was strong, the bathroom needs chlorine. The others at the desk didn't want to answer when you asked him any questions. the elevator to take it you have to go up to the first floor the place is bland in the corners there are many vendors who feel somewhat insecure we only give 5 stars to Mr. Lucio.

We loved the lift and the unusual furnishings, made it a memorable place to stay. Shower was very basic and air con blew on to the bed at night, so these small things stopped it from being perfect. Lovely breakfast in sweet little dining room, with a ‘maid’ waiting on us. All in all a very pleasant stay

Nope not going back
Staff was not unfriendly but in no way did they try to make you feel welcome. Staff looked at me upon check in and ignored me until I spoke directly to him. Even after waiting 10min for someone to arrive, ringing the bell and calling the phone. He arrived. Sat down at his computer and ignored me until I said “excuse me”. He then asked how can I help you? I’m standing there with my wife. 4 pieces of luggage that he had to walk through to get to his desk. We finally checked in. He said here’s your key. Your rooms down that way follow the signs. Didn’t give any further information. Had to go back to ask about WiFi password, breakfast times. Nothing in the room with that information either. Our air conditioner leaked and after reporting it the clerk handed me a towel and said here dry it up. Nothing about fixing it or offering to change rooms. The floor was soaked and wet for 4 days. Each day asking about getting it fixed and being told it will be looked into.

All staffs were very nice to us and accommodating but we were very disappointed with some parts of the hotel itself. There were very old blankets, the towels were cloth (not real towels) and were old and had a hole inside. The shower was a nightmare. The drain wasn’t working properly so I had to shut off the valve every couple of minutes to get rid of waste water that was filling up in the shower pan. The walls were not clean and the wall papers was somewhat damaged.

Great Location
Hotel location was excellent for visiting the top Rome attractions as most of them were within walking distance of the hotel, or if preferred the Metro station was situated outside the hotel. We caught the Leonardo Express train from the airport (30 minutes) and then walked 10 minutes from Termini station to the hotel so very handy. The building is very old and the immediate area not so pleasant but if you walk 2/3 minutes down the road it's a much nicer area. It suited us fine for price and location. Our room overlooked the park so the views were good, however the room could do with a bit of attention: curtain tie-back hooks fallen out of the wall, electric sockets loose, wardrobe door handles missing. The room and hotel were very clean and all staff we encountered were friendly. Breakfast was a choice of cereals, fruit, bread, ham, cheese and pastries and was continually replenished by the staff. On our final day we left our suitcase at reception after checking out and then collected it on the way to the airport which enabled us to enjoy our day. For a short city break this hotel served us well and we would be happy to return if visiting Rome again.

Most tiniest shower ever
The location is top notch. Close walking distance to the Colosseum, restaurants and shops. The room came with a king size bed and an extra twin bed for extra people. The room is not huge but a decent size. The negative part of this room is that the shower is extremely extremely small. I am a normal size woman and had difficulties showering because you literally Will be touching the wall. It’s a very small square and if you are a bigger person you will not fit. The toilet is too close to the wall so be prepared to sit on the toilet and touch the wall. The front desk is limited in their English. This is a much older building and room. The king size bed was a little hard but sleepable. In Rome to get a very good rating the room usually has to be very presentable in its appearance and the appearance of this room is mix and match and furniture old brittle looking. If the elevator is not working you will have five flights of stairs. It is a two person elevator and if someone else is using it you will have to wait a while. This is a hotel but it is in the middle of an apartment complex. When you open the windows to your room you will see the other apartments surrounding you. The best thing about this room is the price and the location. But if you’re looking for a four or five star hotel this would not be it. Overall it had a secure feeling to it, as the entrance had a secure entry. You have to swipe your key card to get into the premises or they can buzz you in.

Very detailed review
The location of this hotel is fantastic. There is an amazing Asian restaurant around the corner if you are not in the mood for Italian food. Walk just a few feet and you are surrounded by vendors selling multiple things. The Colosseum was a 15 minute walk. The hotel is surrounded by stores and restaurants. The elevator is super tiny and very very old fashion. The room was older full of furniture from different era. Which made it look a little cheaper. When opening the window it opens with no screen and opens facing to the center of a bunch of different old apartments. The biggest issue I had with this hotel is the shower is unbelievably tiny. I am 5 foot 145pounds and you have only inches away from the walls surrounding you. If you are a larger man you will have extreme great difficulties with this shower. For ladies who are not washing their hair it’s almost impossible not to get your hair wet. If you are heavyset you will not fit in the shower. We got a King size bed which was nice but the room also comes with an extra twin in the corner for other guests. The room comes with a fridge full of beverages. TV in the hotel room is probably 13x20”. There are two toilets in the room. The main toilet that you use is extremely close to the wall probably 2 inches away from my shoulder. Overall for the price of this room being as cheap as it is it is overall a good hotel for your money. It was one of the cheapest hotels for the location.
