Great access to Termini railway station

This hotel is 5-10 minutes walk to Termini railway station. In general the area around the station is quite scummy but this hotel is in a nice area just up the road from Basilica of Saint Mary Major where there are also a few nice restaurants. The hotel itself is okay but looking a little dated but in general very clean. The area is quiet at night and the air-conditioning very good. The mattresses could do with being changed as they seem old, lumpy and very soft. The breakfast was a typical basic Italian, but without any pastries which I found strange. However there was enough to fill me up in the way of yoghurt, fruit and cornflakes. I was only here for one night and I would definitely stay again.

This was our first time staying at the property and unfortunately because of flooding the previous week we had to be moved across the street to another property. They carried our bags and let us check in early though. Wonderful experience and great breakfast!! Would stay here again if ever in Rome.

Hotel Review

The hotel staff wasn't very friendly. The only person to give us their time of day was the cleaner and she was run off her feet. (A smile costs nothing) The room we stayed in didn't have any hot water, the room needs a lick of paint and the AC didn't work. We didn't spend much time in the hotel but the time we did spend there wasn't very pleasant. This hotel proves the point that you get what you pay for.

We had twin beds which I prefer for better sleeping. There was a small bathtub - the only one on our travels. The breakfast was had lots of variety and was very good.

Hotel is close To Everything

The hotel is OK for people like my wife and I who are looking for a place to stay but do not spend much time in their room. We only look for places close to transportation and prefer walking to see as many sites as possible. This hotel is close to some really great restaurants and the buses are within a block or so if needed. Do not go to this hotel if you have any type of handicap as it is not set up for people with any problems.

Poor experience

The only good aspect was the hotel being close to transportation and city center, but unfortunately, although we paid for a room for a couple with a big bed, we got "the last room with two separate beds" lined in Indian file, a very small room compared to the picture we viewed and booked. Not to mention the noise made by drunk guests who were disrespectful of others, while the personnel did nothing about it.... a poor experience for a hotel in the center of Rome. Breakfast was nice, service staff friendly.

OK for a 3 star hotel and the price asked for, but lacked of heating, mainly in the dining room at breakfast time. Will be much improved when the repairs are terminated.

Never again

Not only it was a shabby building that screams for the renovations, situated in filthy neighborhood, it also didn't have air conditioning in the room. Even though the website says that the rooms have air conditioning and climate control, the man behind the counter said it is only available in the summer. On October 6, when we checked in, there was +28℃ in Rome. It was hot, humid and stuffy... Nevertheless, the reception person refused to give me the remote control for the conditioner so I can turn it on. He said it was cold enough outside so I can sleep without any air conditioner. He was arrogant and defying. Definitely he didn't care about customer service at all. I can't see why he is the one that should decide for me what is hot and what is not. Besides, I don't understand why the site doesn't specify that the air conditioner is only provided for the summer. It sounds like cheating to me. Expedia should have a better control over the hotels it advertises. As I think, the cases like this one, undermine its reputation and credibility.

Run for your life!!!!! DO NOT BOOK TO STAY HERE

Where do I start! Me and my sister arrived early into the actual first day of our trip & found the entrance chained & locked with a Dosey incompitant night desk clerk fast asleep on the front desk area. The unwelcoming staff member ( male) felt it was his place to reprimand us for the fact our flight had arrived late thus our late checking. This person was compleatly incompitant and tried to con us into paying over and above the price for our booking/room. With the downstairs area appearance not up to much our room was 1000% worse!!! To our horror we found we were put into a poky dark & dusty twin bed room, calling it 'Shabby Not Chic' would be a compliment so let me just say is was a run down, 70s hot mess! The bathroom stunk, whilst the sink was half way detached from it's stand, with the actual toilet needing 3-4 attempts before actually flushing. The mouldy and grime coated shower stall was disgusting to look at much less use day to day. Weak Internet,no air con ( considering it was temperatures in Rome was high), no working Plug sucket ( only the main light switch worked), a hole in one of the windows and the free breakfast was stale, basic, and unappetising to say the least! On our first night there was no chance to sleep as a physco woman was screaming the hotel down all night long threatening to burn the place down??? We mentioned the incident to the day shift person at the desk in the morning they just shrugged it off. Not a 3 star hotel PLEASE DO NOT BOOK TO STAY!!

A decent place

It is near the Termini station - just a 5 minute walk. The staff are very friendly. The wifi only works in the lobby. It is a perfectly adequate hotel. The bed is small but it gets the job done. The bathroom is nice. The A/C works well. I don't know how anyone can really complain about this place. It is affordable and well-managed. I would stay here again.

Clean and convenient but seedy location

We booked this hotel for our last night in Rome, only to sleep basically and catch our plane out in the morning. We checked-in very late due to having taken the last train from Naples... the neighbourhood is super-sketchy at that time. The room was clean and the hotel is within walking distance to Termini station from where you can catch a bus (way cheaper than the train) to the airport. The breakfast is a good size buffet.

Don't stay at D'este

The pictures online were not accurate. The room I asked for was a double room, but it was the size of a shoebox. Small broken and dirty bathroom. The beds were two twin kid size beds. We refused to spend the night there and had to find another hotel that was close by and much better on short notice.

Convenient location to Termini

We stayed just one night as we were passing through Rome and made reservations through Expedia online and last minute. When we arrived at the hotel, the front desk staff questioned my daughter's age (16) saying she is considered an adult and I had made a reservation for 2 adults and 1 child. I told them that the Expedia reservation form stated children were <17. In the end, they didn't charge for an additional adult. Elevator didn't work so had to carry luggage up to our room. But the hotel was convenient and the shower was the best one I had in Italy.

Dont expect North American.....Enjoy the culture

A great Europeon, small hotel right in the city centre. Great value for your money. We thought the staff were helpful and friendly. Our rooms were cleaned very well every day. We loved the big open and close shutters on the windows. We also enjoyed the breakfast very much and the terrace we could sit at in the am and in the evening with a bottle of Merlot.....
