This hotel is a 5 minute walk to Central Stazione. The location is great. The restaurants around the area are very good. The hotel is a bit old and looks a bit run down, but it has all the facilities and our stay Hotel Selene was very comfortable. We could walk to all the main attractions, Colosseum and Vatican and it was close to the main shopping streets as well. The reception area seems a bit removed from the hotel, as it's next door to the main hotel, the rooms are a bit dark, but the service, location and facilities of this hotel cannot be faulted.

Stayed at Hotel Selene with my parents in April, 2012. Picked it because of location, reviews here on Trip Advisor, and price.

It was a quick walk from the train station and not a problem with our bags. The staff was friendly, especially the gentleman working when we initially checked in. He allowed me to practice my broken Italian and then clarified everything in English that I was unsure of.

The check-in desk is next to the hallway leading to the rooms. The building appears to be shared by 2 or 3 other hotels. The exterior hallway of this main building is in need of some repair. There is a small elevator to use as well. We stayed on the 3rd floor. The room was clean, but not overly warm and cozy. The bathroom was big by European standards, though the corner shower was teeny tiny! The room was air conditioned and worked well.

Breakfast was included and it had a variety of options, though mostly typical Italian in nature.

I would stay here again. It was clean and I felt safe staying there. Is the most luxurious place I've stayed? Not by a mile, but when you're traveling, you're not spending that much time in the room anyways.

Right near the centre of Rome. Large room with nice bathroom. Only downside was that it smelled slightly of cigarette smoke. Continental breakfast was awesome and staff helpful. Stayed January 2011.

Excellent value, centrally-based hotel within walking distance of metro and buses. Good breakfast choice, no evening meal but several restaurants nearbye. Don't go to the one they recommend, expensive. Recommend you seek out Est! Est! Est! in a side street close bye, friendly family-run piazzeria with good food at a reasonable price.
A couple of drawbacks - no tea-making facilities in room and with tea at 3 or 4 euros a cup you would be advised to pack a travel kettle and some teabags! Also massive tv but every channel in Italian.
