“Good for couples on a budget.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 February 2011

The hotel was situated on the 3rd floor of the building it is located at.
It is also owned by the people that run the Hotel mirage.

When we arrived, we luckily knew a little Italian and could decipherer of its whereabouts (piano is 'Floor" in Italian, by the way!) We climbed the stairs, buzzed in and was eventually greeted by a gentleman that showed us our cozy room.
It was quite warm, however we noticed the air-con unit.

The tv made a buzzing noise, it had a very good selection of tv (if you can speak Italian, of course) and there was plenty of storage for the time we spent there.

The Bathroon was nothing like the one they advertise, its was however in very good condition. Hot water was rare, its a shared boiler for the building (another hotel in this particular partition) so time it right!

Our overall stay was enjoyable, the room was an easy 6/10.

THE CONS AND PROS!

CONS:

The walls are VERY thin. Sadly there was a family staying in various rooms that let their children used the hall way as a play ground. The staff were not helpful in the slightest to quell the noise at 12.30am, and in some cases, they could not care less.

Beds were not very comfortable.

Access is up lots of stairs, not what you want after a day of walking around Rome! the lift looks very unsafe and aged.

"Free WIFI" never worked.

THE PROS:

Open 24hrs, so you can come and go as you please.

Daily cleaning via room service

Mini Bar, we took the drinks out and used it for our own bits, then returned the items at the end - the SPAR round the corner was brilliant for snacks and drink :)

Mediocre breakfast, staff was quite 'short' with you and reluctantly polite. (a pro?)

Air-con

Excellent location if you plan to use the metro, due to it being a stones throw from the central station, and the shops (Spar, station shops and coach pick up point) are VERY close.

Perfect for people that would rather use their hotel as a 'sleep only' point and are looking to limit their spending on accommodation.

All in all, I would have personally have wanted to stay somewhere a bit more in the center, as we walked everywhere and in the evening all the beggars and homeless make you feel a tad paranoid. However I'm happy we stayed in a comfortable place that helped make my first time abroad very enjoyable.

Hope this helps!

“worse than horrible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2010

The hotel's two star rating is a joke. It should be a zero star hotel. From the time we walked through the dirty, grimy door and walked up three flights of dirty, dark stairs, you feel like you need a shower. The manager is up the street (there is no lobby as such). and just getting back to your room requires buzzing somebody to buzz you through the door. The room was small and poorly lit (if we had wanted to read something, it would have to have been in the bathroom. No drinking cups--even plastic. We could hear water running down through the pipes in the wall next to the head of our bed. Lots of noise from outside. The toilet leaked loudly all night. The icing on the cake was the door two doors down from us which had a Q-tip sticking out of a hole in it. We could not wait to get out of there!

“BIZARRE HOTEL, GREAT LOCATION, GREAT VALUE !!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2009

reading the comment I was afraid of what we might find for the Hotel. I won't talk about the 2 hotel thing because a lot of review talks about this... the elevator is not such a big deal because if you are used to travel in Old Europe in budget Hotel, few of them have elevator.

The location fo the Hotel is just great, train station and metro station across the street. Also, you will find grocery store across the street. At night, the neighbourhood look suspicious but in fact, not a real deal, even with two young child... I felt secure.... Room are small but fonctionnal, In fact, It was a good thing to have a small room it force you to get up early in the morning. At night, a lot of people on the street but I never add any trouble to sleep. In general, a great spot for a cheap price, a good deal in ROME !!!

“Bed Bugs Bite”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2009

Great location, close proximity to tourist sites. The reception area is small and away from the rest of the hotel. The rooms are extremely tiny and dirty with hairs all over the floor and bathroom. The noise from the traffic was loud and hard to sleep. The linen was dirty and consequently received bed bug bites all over the face and upper body. The staff were not very helpful when informed. Would never stay there again.

“* Warning - No Elevator”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2009

Room was up 4 floors from street. No elevator.

Good low budget travel hotel near Central Station. Room was decent size and had good bathroom. Service low. Gave me 1 towel. Bathroom had no shower mat/rug. Shower head was loose and water went all over floor, but managed to screw back shower head.

For 45 euros per night 2 days, good value but not for folks with lots of luggage/strollers, etc.
