My main reason to book hotel Giada was because it was accessible with a wheelchair. Upon arrival the receptionaist seemed quite astonished that I was travelling all by myself. At the entrance there is one small step which is barely worth mentioning. The elevator is spatious (a rare thing for a hotel in Rome) and my single room was accessible at least for the main part. I was able to get into the bathroom. It was not possible to manouvre a lot inside the room and I could only get onto the bed from the foot end. For the rest on the plus side I can say the hotel was clean and not far from the railway station and the staff was friendly. I was probably lucky with the positioning of my room, which was at the back of the hotel so not facing the busy street. My bed was rather hard, yet I was able to sleep without waking up with a backache. On the negative side I can say that the hotel lacks any atmosphere, the rooms' interior was "spartan": a very tiny TV set (that did not function) and a bible that was about it. Breakfast was included but barely worth taking. Besides the one croissant I got from the hotel staff, and the bad coffee (in Italy?), there is a choice of what tastes like watered down orange-juice and stale buns. Definately not three stars but a reasonable price for Rome and a good place if you just need a bed and don't care about atmosphere or breakfast (which you can take in many nearbye places anyway).

The staff here are very friendly and helpful. Room was a small single which felt quite depressing at first but I spent very little time there so it really didn't matter. Bed was comfortable. Shower clean with plenty of hot water. There were some students shouting in the corridor a lot one night but I was so tired they barely kept me awake. The area, just 2 or 3 streets down from the train station felt perfectly safe and there are plenty of other hotels in the area too. Friends stayed in a separate hotel just a block away. Their room was bigger but they still had similar issues with noise and trying to get fresh air in without also suffering the Rome traffic noise.

I found this hotel when looking for a budget accommodation. When we arrived, check-in was quick and smooth. The room was good and clean, and the parquet floor is a nice touch. Beds were comfy and bathroom was good too. Breakfast was ok too with bread, croissants, cereals, coffee etc... Location wise, its perfect as there are a variety of restaurants in the area, plenty of sights that are close by, and best of all, the train station is really close. - there is even an internet cafe very close and a transport company that you can use to book your taxi to the airport.

There was just one problem with the hot water as there wasn't any in the last 2 days of my stay. I complained but the reception guy seemed to completely ignore my complaint. There is also NO internet access, which is something most people can live without.... but not me!

Room was big enough & bathroom was OK, but it was very dirty. Room was badly in need of repair & redecoration. Shutters onto balcony did not open, heating was on all the time and uncontrollable. Lift was completely inadequate for the number of users: the building and lift (but not the reception desk) is shared with Hotel Altavilla which appears to occupy other floors in the same building. Location is handy for Termini Station and the staff we encountered were friendly enough we made no real demands upon them. Breakfast was 'served' in a windowless room on 2nd floor: adequate self-service fare: take the stairs, you'll wait forever for a lift with some room in it. Overall I wouldnt recommend it unless you just want a budget place to rest your headfor the night. It does not merit the 3 stars it currently has.
