We traveled with our 3 teenage kids, room was small but clean and we all had a bed to sleep in. Space was tight however we got what we paid for, in general the room was a bargain, one of the few places with a room that sleeps 5, 1 bunk, 1 twin and one full bed. Have some humor and enjoy the saving. The elevator got to be the very first one built on this planet, a true adventure to ride and in case you forgot how to pray you will remember it riding this cage on a rope, or if you prefer walk 4 stories schlepping your suitcase. You pick, again good humor is of essence. Breakfast was a few steps away in a cafe at the corner, you will receive a voucher from the hotel. Right accross from the cafe is a small grocery store with literally everything you need. Sandwiches, salads breads, cold cuts, water all at grocery store prices and having a refridgerator in the room helped a lot. We went on a 11 day mediterranian cruise and rather spnd the money on that then an overpriced hotel in Rome. Like the previous revews said the hotel is just a few steps from stazione termini, gateway to take the bus for arround 10 euros to Fumicino airport, allow at least 1.5 hrs for the ride due to heavy traffic in rome. Or take the 1 hr train ride for arround 10 euros to Romes Cruise port Civitaveccia. The colloseum is about 20 walking minutes away or you can take the city bus or metro to get there. Again I would stay again at the Viennese due to price and friendly staff. Would not stay 2 weeks there however totally ok for a couple of nights.

I was a bit leery of the place before arriving having read the reviews and having stayed at bad Termini hotels in the past, but we really wanted a decent place close to the train station. After staying, we were pleased with most of the experience, although there were some non-functional items in the room that needed repair (shower head, TV, hair dryer). In short, this hotel will provide you a decent, clean, recently remodeled, reasonably priced, air-conditioned room right across the street from the Termini station. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast in the morning is served at a smoky, dingy bar a couple of doors up. It was OK and got us the start we needed. Would recommend to anyone looking for a decent one-night stay close to the train station.

stayed to night in may 2011, it was advertised 3 star but it was 1 star or below , i made a mistake did not pay attention to previous poor reviews and so i suffered. next time in rome would probably prefer to stay overnight in railway station rather than staying this hotel

Hotel Viennese is a real gem set amidst the hustle and bustle of the Termini area. What the hotel lacks in space, it makes up with splendid service, friendly staff, and clean and well-kept rooms at the cheapest bargain one can find throughout Rome.

We - 6 people in 3 rooms - stayed at the hotel in late November 2009 and felt very much satisfied. The staff, especially Lina, were more than accommodating and made sure that our every need was attended to, even going beyond the usual call of duty.

We will definitely return to this hotel next time we're in Rome and recommend it to other friends.
