The location is great for walking to all the tourist areas and is right next to the train station, but I don't think this is a 4 star hotel as Google maps indicates. It is a very pricey hostel with shady surroundings. No amenities are provided and need to pay extra for even towels.

Staff were friendly and helpful.Location close to Termini and Ancient Sites was great. It was a shame that there was no access to the roof terrace between 10:00 and 18:00 and the bar was shut. Single room was adequate,bathroom good and bed comfortable.The lack of a fridge was a real shame. Probably wouldn’t go back.

We booked a room with a king-sizes bed as that was how it was advertised, but really it was two single beds pushed together. Also to add, the rooftop bar was not open, we asked staff members and they said it was due to the weather but it was 26-28 degrees at the time. Location is fairly good, approx 15-20 min walk from Colosseum and a fairly close distance to the bus to airport.

Overpriced

We stayed 3 nights in a twin. It was essentially a hotel room, big and spacious with private bathroom. No problem with noise and very close to the train station. However, no breakfast included, no kitchen and the washing machines are 4 euro per wash or dry, expensive. I wouldn’t stay again as I think it’s very overpriced, I’d just stay in a regular hotel.

Acceptable hostel, the 24 hour front desk was nice, especially because my flights were in the middle of the night. The elevator was broken so they directed us to a sketchy service elevator. There was some mold above it but none in the room itself. Generally just good

They were building or fixing something next to my room and it was a little difficult to sleep with the noise. There were some problems with the shower and the lamp on my bed didn't work but there was an extra wireless bulb in case it was needed. Everyone was very friendly and it was easy to get there from the Termini station.
