I picked the Hotel Rex because the map showed that is close to the Termini Station, and, reviewers said that the rooms were big for the standards. I'm glad I stayed in this hotel, all the staff is knowledgeable and caring (thank you), and every place is easy to visit from there. The fact that it's on a side street was a plus...quite nights. The location is very convenient, lots of good restaurants, shops and caffes close by, as well as walking distance to bus stops, or train, or metro, or taxis, and meeting point for the tour trolleys. I would definently stay there again

Great customer service and very efficient to correct a couple of minor issues with the room. The complementary smart phone to use was a pleasant surprise. The one downside was how hot the cleaners kept turning the temperature up to each day.

The air con in the room was very dirty, there were moles and black particles blow out of the machine. We requested to clean it but we still find some particles on the bed. But you should expect that since the building is pretty old.
