Booked room to have 1 double and single bed for myself and 2 children. Arrived and said I had booked double only. Myself, and 2 kids all had to sleep on the same bed. No option to upgrade. Not polite staff. Cannot speak English. Beds are hard. Air con is old school. Ancient toilet. Shower poor, water goes from hot to cold constantly. You have to give your room key every time you leave. Breakfast poor, the bread was rock hard and cakes not covered I saw a fly buzzing around.

We used it as a base right in the centre. But still felt very quiet and safe on the road. Two mins walk from the train station which is specifically what we were after. Easy to walk to main attractions from there. For a central hotel it absolutely did the job, very clean, good communication from staff, would stay here again if visiting Rome.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The cleaning and restaurant people were excellent. There were two gentleman at the front desk who were helpful, the rest were very dismissive and unfriendly. I felt I was more of an annoyance to them than a guest. The breakfast food was used over and over. Stale bread, old pastries, rotten fruits. The only good thing was the coffee that was fresh. The room had a very stale old smell and it was awful. The shower so small that I couldn’t turn around without banging my head on the slabs of marble. There was not a shelf to put the shampoo on so I had to bend over but couldn’t without running into the risk of shattering the brittle walls. It was simply awful. I could not shave my legs the entire time I was there. The tv that’s in the room was as big as my kid’s laptop. I recommend that Expedia should go and check the hotels out and see for yourselves if it’s worth the money. It is the second time I use your services and both times is an err. I’m very disappointed with your recommendations especially when they are relatively high prices.

There are multiple stairs at the entrance of the property but no one available to help you carry your luggage up and down the stairs. Front desk was very rude and made me drop my key at the front before I went out to eat. He said “that’s how Italians do it”, are you new here, where are you from?. I had already stayed in multiple hotels/hostels that never did this. The room was sooo tiny and dirty. The room door was even sketchy and I had to close it twice, no automatic lock and only locks with a key

The location of the hotel is fantastic as it’s right next to the train station which connects you to all parts of the city and to other cities in Italy. We stayed in a refurbished room which was very clean. There were small details that might deter you including the fridge not keeping your items cool and the shower door not closing all the way but this didn’t keep us from enjoying our stay. This biggest takeaway is how quiet the rooms are despite being in a busy area of town.

The hotel was very close to the train station—just a 2-minute walk, which was very convenient. Overall, everything was good. The bed sheets were clean, but there was only a sheet on the bed, and since you need to use the air conditioning, it would have been nice to have a duvet or something thicker for warmth. If you turn off the air conditioning, it gets too warm, and if you leave it on, it gets too cold at night. They did have a warm blanket in the closet, but it didn’t seem very clean—hard to say how long it had been sitting there. Aside from that, the stay was good. One thing to note: hotels in Italy typically do not provide hair conditioner. They usually just offer two small bottles of shampoo and two very small bars of soap, so be sure to bring your own hair products.

The building’s exterior is in need of a fresh coat of paint to appear more presentable. Despite its convenient location near Termini and the surrounding busy area, its current appearance feels somewhat uninviting. Additionally, the bathtub is in poor condition and was not adequately cleaned, making it unsuitable for use. Overall, the property would benefit from a comprehensive renovation.

This hotel really needs improvement, especially the bathroom, considering the its price. I don’t think people could stay more than 1 day because you can’t take a relax shower , you are always worried the shower curtain will cover you. Cleanses is another concern even the sheet and pillows are clean enough. Only recommend for train and air transit stay

The staff was very nice and helpful. They watched my luggage all day since I needed a place to store it in the morning before check-in. The room was small but had everything I needed for a night and was fine for the price. The hotel is very close to the entrance of Termini station, so it's perfect for anyone using Rome as a home base and taking day trips to other places around Italy.
