The front desk attendant was friendly, but communication was limited. They took me to my room which was more like a closet with a cot in it. Not very comfortable at all. The room had no phone or tv in it as the booking reservation had said. I had to use the cordless handset from the front desk to make a call in my room...really weird. The second night was the worst though as I was eating pringle's and ants started appearing in lines all over the bedroom floor. It was really gross. I slept with my lights on all night terrified they were going to crawl onto the bed while I slept. The breakfast was OK and was your typical European continental breakfast. My sty wasn't restful and was very happy to leave this place!

We stayed at the hotel Midi in Rome recently-in June 2010. We were sold it as a 3 star hotel and we had booked through lastminute.com who advertised the room as a superior double with air conditioning. Fortunately, the air conditioning was the only good thing about this hotel. The man at the reception was surly and unhelpful. We had to stagger up 3 flights of stairs with our luggage-no lift.
The room was clean and so was the bathroom, but the hairdryer was tied to the wall with string.
The instructions for the television were sellotaped onto the top of the set and the translation into English was so bad that it did not make sense. When we turned the set on all we could get was one channel in Swedish!
The breakfast was terrible-no fresh produce at all -just sliced bread and everything else was packaged and probably bought from the local supermarket-no cheese, no meats, no fresh fruits. The woman on duty in the breakfast area was also sullen and looked as if she would rather be anywhere than serving the breakfasts.
Our room was not really very secure-the door had been nailed up to stop it falling away from the door frame.
We also noticed that there was no fire evacuation procedures and no fire escape.No disabled access either. This is more like a hostel, and it was classified by the Rome tourist board as a 2 star-so why are lastminute.com promoting it as a 3 star.
We have written to both lastminute.com and the Rome tourist board enclosing photographs, but as yet have not heard anything.

Having paid just £200 for a 3 night trip to Rome, including flights, I knew the hotel wouldn't be 5*. I read the reviews on this site and to be honest I was not looking forward to staying there, but I was going to Rome to see the sights, not to spend all my time in a hotel. However I was pleasantly surprised as it really wasn't that bad. If you are going to Termini train station, turn left when you exit, it's probably best to cross to the opposite side of the street as there isn't much of a pavement. It takes about 10 minutes to walk, and the area isn't great, but steadily improves as you near the hotel. We were checked in quickly, and had a few stairs to climb, (no lift) the decor is a little tatty but the room was clean, everything worked, and was very quiet-overlooking gardens and breakfast area. Just remember to put your room entry card into the wall slot to "activate" the rooms electricity. There's a tv, safe, spare blankets, hair dryer and a decent shower. The room was cleaned every day. I can honestly say the only negative point to the room was that the power sockets had strange adaptors already fitted meaning we couldnt charge our phones with the usual continental adaptor. It wasn't a major problem as there was a normal socket outside in the hallway, just had to keep an eye on the phone while it was charging! Breakfast was perfectly adequate; a choice of 3 cereals, and plenty of toast that you toast yourself. Tea, coffee, and juice were limitless. The staff were always attentive and topped up the coffee, milk etc. There is always someone on reception 24 hours a day. The restaurants just around the corner from the hotel are very good, I ate at 3 of them. I really cannot fault this hotel if you are going to Rome for a no-frills visit, and would recommend it.
