After reading most of the reviews before travelling and booking this hotel, I was somewhat scared but took the decision of giving it a try. I was pleasantly surprised!!! What’s more, I stayed twice at Adas Hotel, in February and in July this year. It is a very cheap hotel so one must be aware of what to expect.
I don’t agree with other reviewers. Some people seem to expect five-star facilities in a budget hotel. If one likes and enjoys comfort, big spaces, modern facilities, then one must choose another kind of hotels. This is a budget hotel, useful for having a bath and sleeping after a long day in Rome. It is just that! I paid 75 € for a triple room. That is very cheap! Breakfast included! It is true that breakfast is basic (some toast, bread, croissants, jam/butter, cornflakes, milk and the BEST coffee I have ever had in my life!!!).
The hotel has rooms on different floors. The ones that are on the 6th floor are the best ones. Elevator goes to 5th floor only, so if you have heavy luggage, it is an issue. It is an old building (something usual in Europe), with old facilities but its location is perfect! Two blocks away from The Colliseum, about 8 from Termini station, right beside Trajan's Market and the Fori Imperiali, a short walk from Piazza Venezia as well as a short stroll to Santa Maria Maggiore and San Pietro in Vincoli, where Michel Angelo’s Moises is .
It is true what some reviews claim that the hotel is not easy to find (its blue sign is very small) and the stairs “are very dark and unsigned so you are not really sure that you are in the right place”. This is so. However, the address (Via Cavour 233) is easily found, as Via Cavour (full of restaurants and souvenirs shops) is a busy road.
Wi-Fi only in the very small reception area. Friendly staff. Free maps in the reception.
If you are not picky about hotels, but just looking for a bathroom, a bed and a basic breakfast in the Eternal City, ignore all the bad reviews about this hotel!! I would definitely go back! In fact, I did!
