Everyone likes different things in a hotel. This one suits me perfectly. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed. The staff is friendly but perfectly willing to leave you alone should you, as do I, prefer it. The breakfast is good and should be sufficient to get you through to dinner with only a snack for lunch. The hotel bar serves drinks at very reasonable prices, along with free appetizers in the evening. The location, for me, is perfect. It is close enough to walk from Termini (about 5 blocks) and there is another metro stop just around the corner (Castro Pretorio). This allows you to come and go as you please throughout the day using the all-day public transit ticket. The environs are quiet at night and on weekends with little or no evidence of the sketchy conditions that can occur closer to Termini. Free wi-fi is a nice plus too. The only suggestion I could make is that the coffee with breakfast could be better.

We had a lot of Air Miles and decided to blow them on a trip to Rome in January. Choosing a hotel is important, and after researching Trip Advisor decided on Hotel Canada. Firstly, I want to say that there are absolutely no regrets about this choice. Other reviews are almost spot-on.

Location. Hotel Canada is about 10 minutes walk from Termini rail and bus station. You could take the Metro for one stop, but it's really not worth it. If you are disabled or have mobility problems, you should be aware that the walk from Termini involves some cobbled streets and very uneven pavements.

You should not think that this hotel is very close to the major tourist sites, it's not. However they are not far. The Historic areas (Colosseum, Forum, Trevi, Pantheon etc) are about 25 or so minutes walk. Getting there is ok, it's downhill, but coming back is of course uphill. I lost a few pounds in weight over three days walking ! The Castro Pretorio metro station almost outside the hotel, and the Rome metro is easy to use. Any one journey costs €1 and an all day ticket is €4, great value. Get on the train at Castro Pretorio, get off a few minutes later at Colosseo which is right at The Colosseum.

The front desk staff of the hotel are really very good, polite, helpful, informative, and very happy to answer questions no matter how silly. In the lobby of the hotel was a pad of large city maps. Just tear one off, fold it and off you go ! Really useful.

Rooms are classical Italian style. Large conventional beds (very comfy !) tiled floors. Some furniture, TV, CD Player. Good bathroom, WC, Bidet, Bath/Shower, good selection of toiletries, and disposable slippers ! There were no tea/coffee making facilities in the room, but this is normal in Italy and most of continental Europe. Our room was 526 on the 5th Floor. The lift is interesting and takes a bit of getting used to. It's an old fashioned type with gates that you have to pull open, but the gate to go in is not the same as the gate to get out ! Great fun. Although our room overlooked a very busy street, there was almost no noise due to very good sound insulation.

We didn’t use the bar, but breakfast is very good. The best thing is that it is available until 10.30am, very civilized ! Good selection of cheeses, cold meats, pastries, fruit and some hot items usually eggs and ham or bacon of sorts.

There is no restaurant in the hotel, but there are plenty of places very nearby. Ristorante 3 Arches just around the corner is good.

I cannot comment on cost or value for money, the hotel was included in the flights and hotel Air Miles package.

Overall we were really very happy, and recommend this hotel. My wife is already saying that she wants to go back to Rome to see more. If or when we do, Hotel Canada will be top of the list.

Family of four with two kids ages 8 &10. Stayed in the quadruple room and it offered very spacious bathroom and living area. Clean, nice quite, good location with easy access to both metro and central train station. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet has so many food options and variety. For quick dinner you must try the small pizza place parlor the street toward the train station. The owner makes fresh pizzas loaded with fresh toppings and you can buy by the slice to sit or to go. This hotel is very highly recommended, we will definitely use again!

This was the perfect place to come to straight off the plane. The room was beautiful and clean, bed was comfortable, breakfast was excellent. The immediate area was not very charming, and we didn't find any good nearby restaurants for the foodies amongst our party of three couples ranging from 30's to 70's (the restaurant just down the road recommended by the person at the front desk was not great). However we were there only 2 nights before moving to another part of Rome. The hotel was close to the train station. If you like long walks, you can see a lot by foot from here.
