Great location for Roma Termini, bars and restaurants.
Tired building, miserable decor and furnishings. Staff most unhelpful.
Room was decent, shower horrendous.

Boa opção e preço justo
Localização perfeita, rua cheia de restaurantes e perto tanto da estação Roma Temrini quanto da linda Basílica Papal Santa Maria Maggiore. Café da manhã é muito bom e completo. Tem tudo que se precisa para uma boa hospedagem a trabalho.

Great location- tired hotel but clean and comfy
Excellent location. Rooms a little dated but very clean and comfortable. Rooms cleaned daily- lovely coming back to freshly made beds and clean towels.
Reception staff friendly and welcoming.
Breakfast good but go early as after 9 food runs out and isn’t replenished.
The man who is in charge of the breakfast area has an amazing tatoo but is very grumpy! If you can make him smile I’d love to know your secret!
All in all- the hotel is run down in the communal areas but if you’re spending time in your hotel whilst in Rome, then you’re not appreciating where you are! Get out, explore, walk, eat and live life.

Great location
We were pleasantly surprised by our stay. While the hotel looks pretty basic, it is clean and well kept and the staff on the front desk were very helpful. We had a wheelchair user in our group and the lift was easy to use, the delux quad room was very accessible for us and we could easily get the wheelchair in both the room and the bathroom if needed. Breakfast was down stairs which we couldn't manage but the front desk set us up with a table upstairs and we were able to bring our breakfast up to eat together. This was a great solution for us and the breakfast was really good! The location was also perfect for the train station and sight seeing. We would stay here again.
