My boyfriend and I just got back from a week in Italy. We were on a budget, but didn't want to stay in hostels. We stayed in three different 2 star hotels, but Hotel Farini was by far the worst. Since we were going in the summer and Rome can be terribly uncomfortable, I kept insisting on a place with A/C. We found Hotel Farini on-line and it advertised A/C and a smoke free location.

First thing we see is the manager smoking and when we get to the room it is disgustingly hot. We ask how to turn on the A/C and are told it will be an EXTRA 10 euro PER night. Then we were told we have to pay 1 euro to use the phone in the room, even for toll-free numbers. In addition, there is no shower curtain and the rooms are so small that a double bed takes up more than 75% of the room space. They call themselves a 2-star hotel, but when you get there they have 1 star on the door ringer. I wouldn't even give them a 1/2 star. Spend a bit more and don't go through the aggravating experience of additional fees!

We wanted to book a cheap hotel which is not too far from central. We didn't wait a lot of the hotel, just thought that have bed where to sleep. But when we arrived to this small friedly hotel we realised that we will get much more. The staff were so warm and friedly all the time, our room was clean and neat, location was perfect, you could walk to all tge places,we never took a bus or taxi. It was easy to walk even to Vatikan. This hotel has so friendly and real Italien atmosphere.We will go back to this hotel one day.

This is a very heavily decorated hotel with a rustic Italian theme that is slightly overpowering. There were ample facilities in the room and with decent privacy. Our room was very tiny and would not be nice for long stays. Breakfast included good coffee and adequate everthing else. The free internet point at reception was very convenient, except it needed to be cleaned of some virus.

It is incredibly central to Termini, the bus station and western restaurants. It would suit someone wanting to see a lot of Rome, not wanting to waste any time commuting to Termini in order to connect with buses and the subway. However, there are a lot of hotels in the area to choose from.
