Air conditioning was off because the hotel felt it’s near winter…I do feel it should be up to the customer if they want to use it or not. We didn’t have a choice. That’s the only criticism I have .

Hotel and room was great. Only compliant was the smell that would come out of the toilet during the night. Love how close it is to train station and the different dining options around the hotel. Best of all the laundry service right across the street.

Nice central location to Termini. Everything is within reasonable walking distance of this location. Hotel was just OK though. Water pressure on the 5th floor was quite low, which made Shower more of a light rinse. Rooms are ok, but in need of some updating. Room was very quiet. A/C worked very good.

The property has a good location for dining and transportation. The hotel offers a great breakfast. However, the property needs an upgrade compared to United States standards. The beds were very hard and uncomfortable, making it difficult to get a good rest. Additionally, they turned off the central AC only because the temperature outside had cooled. Although after my complaint, they turned back on. Finally, the room lacked a separate shower. It only has a very tall bathtub with a curtain around it to separate it from the beds. This bathtub poses an unreasonable danger due to its height, making it difficult to get in and out.

The hotel was really dirty. The rooms smelled like sewer/sewage. The breakfast staff was terrible. They didn’t maintain the breakfast buffet; for example no silverware or real coffee cups for cappuccinos. They had plastic water cups for the coffee

Great location- tired hotel but clean and comfy

Excellent location. Rooms a little dated but very clean and comfortable. Rooms cleaned daily- lovely coming back to freshly made beds and clean towels. Reception staff friendly and welcoming. Breakfast good but go early as after 9 food runs out and isn’t replenished. The man who is in charge of the breakfast area has an amazing tatoo but is very grumpy! If you can make him smile I’d love to know your secret! All in all- the hotel is run down in the communal areas but if you’re spending time in your hotel whilst in Rome, then you’re not appreciating where you are! Get out, explore, walk, eat and live life.
