This place was pretty decent all this considered. Super convenient location next to the Termini and metro stop. The room was clean with a huge window that opened up on the street. Traffic noise was a bit loud but other than that no complaints at all. Rome is an expensive city so this place was a good, cheap find. Will definitely come back.

I dont know what the bad reviews where all about!!!....This was my 4th time staying in Hotel Urbis and as always I found it to be absolutely lovely. The staff are ALL very helpful, friendly and obliging....The rooms are roomey, clean and the linen spotless.....Cheers! Tess :-)

You're likely looking at this hotel because: 1) it's cheap; and 2) it's next to the train station.

Those are it's only good points.

The hotel is barely one star. The room was clean, but really run down: the beds sagged, the sheets had holes and stains, the shower door didn't close properly, the shower ran out of hot water, and you get a lot of noise from the street.

My friends and I stayed at the hotel on two separate nights because of train connections, in Rome. That's only way I could "recommend" this hotel. But, if you want to stay somewhere, while you're seeing Rome, I would stay somewhere else.

We have stayed at Hotel Urbis 3 times over the years and while it was acceptable the first time in 1998 it has deteriorated substantially since then. There seems to have been little or no maintenance over the years and the last visit was really horrifying. At one point we came back to a group of junkies from the nearby Termini Station shooting up in the stairway. While the area around the station is pretty rough it is also centrally located and the nearby metro station makes it a cheap alternative in an increasingly expensive Rome. Hotel Urbis doesn't control the ground floor door like most of the other hotels in the area and this leads to all kinds of rifraf having access to the building. The conditions of the rooms is well documented in the other reviews. You have to be totally desperate to stay in this place.
