We stayed in a twin room for 5 nights and we found it to be a very basic but clean hotel which is exactly what we were looking for. Was a little hard to find at first but the location was in a quiet neighbourhood just out of the city, it was only a 2 minute walk to the train station and not even 10 minutes in to the centre of Rome and we actually found it nicer to be outside of the city. Staff were friendly and helpful, the pastries for breakfast were to die for and although the room was quite small, we were there to see the city, not stay in our rooms so it was more than enough for us.

Stayed in the Kriss Hotel for three nights! The location was horrible, the service (or lack of) was bad, and the walls are paper thin so you can forget about getting a good night sleep. This hotel is not charming, it is a nightmare. Do not stay here.

Flight Centre booked this hotel for us. The worst possible location. Horrified at the sight of the Hotel, at the back of other buildings. Upon arrival, fortunately for us, they had no electricity and paid for a taxi to take us to anothe hotel. Another dissapointment, but at least this dissapointment was in a better location and very near to the Termini Station.

First off, this hotel can be slightly confusing to find if this is your first time to Rome. It took us about an hour to find on foot. Of course the google map did not do a good job describing location. However, you can take the city metro train on the red line and get off on the Policiana stop. This will put you within a few minutes walking of the hotel.

The hotel is in a quiet neighborhood and surrounding streets seemed to be pretty dirty but I think that is commonplace outside of touristy areas in Rome. Doesn't really affect your stay if you just need a good place to sleep like we did.

As for the hotel itself, it is like many Europian hotels. The rooms are quite small by USA standards, the double bed is 2 twins pushed together, the bathroom is small, the elevator is tiny.

With that being said, this hotel served its primary purpose for my wife and I: a clean, safe place to stay that was relatively inexpensive (we paid ~$80/nt for double room) that was close to main attractions, close to central rail station, served breakfast, quiet, no frills but with a personal bathroom. It did a good job at this.

The room was average sized, the shower was exceptionally small however. If you are overweight, you would have a hard time fitting in this shower and washing your feet. There view is only of a neighboring apartment bldg. It had a TV though we never even turned on a TV while in Italy. It had an A/C which we didnt use because of the time of year. The breakfast was a little lacking by Italian standards. You got tea/coffee and 2 small toasted pieces of break and a pastry. We didn't ask for seconds b/c we weren't sure if that was kosher or not. So not an abundant breakfast, but enough to get your day going. Stay was friendly to us and provided some information about city and gave us a map. They did not have any internet usage for customers, so that is a negative.

Overall, I would stay again and recommend to anyone just wanting a simple place to stay while in Rome

*****Most important recommendation when traveling to Italy. . . change money before you get there or make sure and have a bank card. Most places beyond large restaurants, train stations, and hotels do not take credit cards and currency exchange places rape you!!! We were getting only 55EUR from changing $100USD*****
