Firstly the hotel is in a good location 5 mins walk from Termini station,walking distance to main attractions such as Piazza Venezia and Trevi fountain took us about 25 mins to there. This hotel is really really old and needs ALOT of work done to it, our room was tiny and really dark and our view was of a really dark courtyard with smelly sheets hanging out and a noisy generator at the window. The furniture was old but it wasn't that bad and the bed linen was simple and clean. The bathroom was not fit for human habitation it was so small even a midget would struggle the shower was really dangerous no grip on the floor and when you stepped out to dry yourself you were basically in the toilet the only plus in the bathroom was the clean towels everyday. the room was manky in that it needs painting and dusting the floor needed cleaning and the curtains were manky aswell. NOT A ROMANTIC PLACE AT ALL. the staff were ok but there was one member of staff he was Italian and had grey hair "the silver fox" very nice and helpful. breakfast i wouldn't bother going down to get it, I would recommended the Ciao restaurant in Termini or the coffee shops in the area, the restaurant across the road was good food was cheap and very nice. The lift in this hotel is a joke i am a slim girl and even i didn't venture into it, im surprised health and safety officers allow it. the hotel is split with another hotel also which was weird! every morning we were woken around 7am by noises of the bins being emptied with bottles from the shops next door and at night noisy people coming in the courtyard. we stayed in this hotel for 3 days it wasn't even that cheap,the trip was good thankfully it made up for the crap room and hotel. Oh and air con is €10 a day and €10 deposit for the crappy telly remotes. Ripp off.
