I'm surprised at some of the negative comments about this place. For 30 euros a night I got to stay in the heart of Rome, in a lovely little hostel, with nice staff, a great terrace for breakfast and free coffee/tea and pastries. I stayed for three nights in the hotel floor rather than the shared hostel rooms - my... More

The best things about Fawlty Towers are its location (very close to Roma termini), price and friendly staff. Inside, there is a small kitchen, a balcony, a TV area. Unlike other budget places, this one regular beds instead of bunk beds, which aren’t the most confortable, but certainly will do for the money you pay. More

The location is pretty good (just a few steps from termini) Overall it's poor with facility and the beds were very uncomfy but it's OK to stay one night or so but find another place if you're planning to stay longer. More

I had to sleep one night at Rome, before taking my flight back to Argentina. For me, that was travelling alone, it was a bit strange. For one side, it was good enough, because I only wanted to sleep, and leave the baggage a few hours during the day to go for a walk on Rome. But I have to... More

I didn't actually choose Fawlty Towers but got booked in there after a complication with a booking at another hostel. I ended up paying €25 for a bed in a 3-bed room with ensuite bathroom on the 6th floor of the reception building on Via Magenta 39 (speaking to another guest who had trekked over from a nearby building to...

I was disappointed - Rick Steves' book recommended it, but I wonder if he actually stayed here. An old dingy room, however the sheets and towels seemed clean. However, the bathrooms leaked water whenever anyone took a shower so the bathrooms were often wet and not fun to walk around in. Had some trouble sleeping because the doors and heavy... More

I can't believe a place like this exists. It was one of the WORST places I have ever seen for tourists. I can't believe the Rough Guide listed it, I will be putting in a complaint. If you want to save money, trust me, there are other places out there for the same or cheaper price. The shower ceiling was... More

We got to Rome by train and this thing that some people call hotel was easy to find: it´s just across Termini Station (and believe me this is the only good thing about Fawlty Towers). They start with asking the full payment in advance (never happened to me) and when you get to the room it´s the big disapoitment: everything... More

My friend and I took a trip to Italy and stayed in many small hotels along the way. Falty Towers in Rome was the worst travel experience I have every had! To start things off, we arrived at the hotel and were told that we had booked a double and a single room and that we would be responsible for... More
