The front desk staff was very helpful with answering our questions and suggesting things to see. The breakfast was excellent, room was very clean and comfortable. They were doing some renovations on the upper floors, so the stairways were a little dusty, but there was no noise, and it didn't affect our stay. Walking distance to train station was a plus!

This was our 2nd stay at this hotel. The common areas could use some cleaning, years worth of grime. The room itself was clean and spacious. It is in a busy area and street noise was loud until after midnight. Breakfast starts at 7am, so unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy as we had an early flight. For a short stay this is a good hotel, nothing fancy, but you are in Rome for the city, not the hotel. Incredibly close to Termini, 3 minute walk.

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.
