Reviews and Ratings
I had a great stay at the hotel. The location was perfect for exploring Rome, and the friendly service made my visit even better. However, the basic rooms and limited breakfast options were a downside. Overall, it offered good value for the price.
The hotel may look a bit shabby at first sight, with strip lighting and a broken venetian blind in the room, but it met our needs. The small lobby and breakfast rooms might need some modernization, which was a minor downside overall.
The hotel's location is fantastic, right next to Termini station, making it convenient for transportation and close to restaurants. The rooms were basic but had adequate amenities like air conditioning. Service was helpful overall, but there were some challenges with communication regarding rates. The neighborhood around the hotel is vibrant but can be noisy at night. Dining was continental style, suitable for a light meal. Overall, a decent stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel is located near Rome Termini Station, making it convenient for transportation and excursions. The rooms, although narrow, have unique designs. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff offering helpful recommendations. The dining experience varied, from delightful pastries to rushed breakfast offerings. Despite the slightly shady area, the hotel's position is advantageous for exploring Rome.
Despite the initial appearance of the hotel, with its small lobby and breakfast rooms needing modernization, my stay was comfortable. The rooms provided ample space for two people and luggage, with plenty of storage space and hangers. However, the bathroom was a bit cramped which is common in many 3-star hotels in Europe and Italy where I've stayed during my vacation.
I loved that my room looked directly onto the lovely facade of the Termini railway station, and it was really clean with a nice banio in it, giving off old Roman vibes. The mix-up in the room assignment was swiftly resolved, and we were happy with the outcome.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, although clean and comfortable, had an old box TV that didn't work, making it feel more like a cell than a hotel room. The location was convenient, near the train station, but in a slightly run-down area. The service was friendly and helpful despite noisy hallway activities. The dining experience offered a variety of breakfast options and the facilities were satisfactory.
My room wasn't too bad, although it was on the 2nd floor overlooking a side street with noisy waste bins being emptied every night. The staff were super friendly and always ready to help, making my stay comfortable. The location near Sta M Maggiore was very convenient for accessing the train station, but the area seemed a bit rough with some intimidating situations at night. The dining experience was very good with plenty of choices, and overall, the hotel offered a good value for the money.
