I never recommend this hotel.Although the room is clean and hotel is near Rome Termini , but it is a very small hotel on the fourth floor of a building in which each floor is a small hotel!!! The owner is an old woman and her doughters .All are very rude. All the rooms is around a small reception desk. All day and night they are speaking loudly to guests who are checking in and out. Sometime they shout ! So Rooms are very noisy you you will wake up many times at night. Towels are Torn. No refregerator(althogh it was in Booking.com magic hotel facility).very small lift .Very small bathroom.No shampoo.no breakfast facility. The owners usually are not at her desk(it seems only to come to shout!) and if you want something, you have to go at her house door on the other part of hotel that was not comfortable for me.The nearby street with its peaple is not good at all. Aftre all ,this hotel will give you a very bad feeling as a hotel. Take another one. Even if you have to pay alittle more.If not, It will be your worst experience in Rome

I choosed this hotel because it was located near Termini. I could actually see it when I got of the bus from the airport. It was very neat with polished marble floors and clean rooms. The view from the room was cozy and overall it was a friendly and nice hotel with good prices.
The only reasons that it's not getting full points are the following:
- I asked for a room where smoking was allowed. I didn't get it.
- They speaked very poor english. I was glad I had an italian friend who could help me out.
- No food at all. You did get breakfast tickets to a nearby place though.

This hotel, Hotel Magic, is awesome. Carmella and her two daughters run this hotel and there is nothing they wont do for you. Sure, Carmella doesnt speak much english, nor do I speak much Italian, but the 8 nights there were nothing but great. The location if perfect for the main rail station and metro's. The rooms are clean and comfy (beds are european hard, but if you need a softer pillow, just ask). Yes, the elevator is small, but heck, at least there is one and my friend June and I laughed about it. Upon arrival you may have to go up one person and one suitcase at a time, but it is quick. Only a couple times did the people going to the 4th floor forget to close the red doors, so the elevator works...there is a huge sign in english and italian on the door, dumb people. But even if you have to walk up to the 3rd floor it is do-able. They give you 3 keys...one to the outside door on the street, one to the inside door before reception and one to your room. Heck, if you dont feel safe with this arrangement you are crazy. There are fabulous little places to eat all around and we made friends and were remembered each time we walked by them. The breakfast at Cafe Amici, is good and they are super nice there also (always remembered our daily drink and croissant). The price was remarkable for Rome, $75 a night for two beds with private clean bath, with bidet, toilet, shower and heated towel racks. What else could you ask for??? Not much!!!! I recomment this hotel highly and would use it again and again and again...Thanks Mama Carmella!!!!!!

Me and my boyfriend stayed there for two nights in 2006. Since I was already in Rome I checked in first (and by checking in I mean the old lady owner taking my passport and returning it only after I asked for it). She said it was OK if my boy checked in the next day, since he was arriving in Rome late that night (and obviously they didn't have 24h reception). That was the reason for the younger owner, the daughter I guess, to shout at us and to tell us off in a very rude and aggressive manner the next morning. It didn't matter that we had already agreed on that with her mother. On top of that the day we left we asked if we could leave our luggage there for a few hours (the page we booked the hotel through stated they DO HAVE a left luggage office). And what a surprise, they didn't let us!
Despite all that, the room was nice and clean. But it's not enough to make you get over the first bad impression. They should learn to treat their clients better first and also try to be more professional in running the so called hotel. Not recommended.
