Rome Train Station a Huge Disappointment

Unfortunately, Rome Train Station had a strike and couldn’t function causing changes to our itinerary - not any fault of the hotel- the peopl were so kind and informative and I would hope we get a refund - as we incurred another expense. We used hiotels under my friend’s name to book another room- Linda Rupp. We incurred a huge expense and loss as a result. I doubt that we will ever return to Rome again.

I was able to check in 2.5 hours early, the staff was friendly and helpful. The room was big with high ceiling and modern decor. There were 2 windows in the room which made the room even more spacious feeling. Bathroom had modern decor as well. The location of this place was so convenient, next to bus station, steps away from the train station, minutes walk to central market and city center. Would definitely stay here again if coming to Florence again.

This was an excellent place to stay. Very close to the Train Station the check in was easy you just fill out the online forms they send you enter passport and credit card and they only charge you the city tax if you paid for it in advance through Expedia or other site. They gave me a door code the morning of my arrival and the room was ready on time. The room was clean and safe. The bed was soft and comfortable. The breakfast was provided free at a coffee shop across the street pretty easy for a light breakfast to start the day. I would recommend staying here. No hassles no face to face interaction just a clean comfortable room.
