Hi all!Just got back from a weeken in rome (september 2003). Spent 3 nights in hotel magic. a few notes: 1) the hotel is on the 3rd floor. a lot of stairs to go, after a long day of sightseeing. 2) the area is quite noisy. street cleaner trucks, garbage collectors, etc. are quite probable to make their existance present during the night and early morning hours. closing the window usually helps to a certain extent, BUT, might be a problem if it's very hot. 3) Please note that the hotel charges additional 5 to 10 euros extra for night, if you use the air-con. we didn't use it, as september finds rome at a great weather. 4) The Termini area is safe, yet, doesn't provide many nice places to go out to. so, if you're interested in going to nice tourist restaurants, you'll have to use the public transport, which is not very efficient in rome. walking to piazza navon takes something like 45 mins, and envolves up hills. 5) the hotel owners speak very basic english, and are not very nice, BUT, they do their job.Hope you enjoy your trip in rome!
