After reading many reviews concerning accommodation in Rome I can now say all rooms within all the hotels appear to be very clean but on the small side. This in itself is not a real issue as long as you use your accommodation purely as a place to rest after a busy day of site seeing. I personally did not find the noise from traffic an issue (we were staying on one of the main roads via Nationale), the only problem was the amount of apparently ill people in Rome with ambulances constantly charging around Rome with sirens continually blurring. I feel sorry for the drivers who must have to leave after a short period of driving due to hearing difficulties.
For larger groups i.e. 4 or more hotel termini offers apartments located on via Nationale some distance from the actual hotel but the services of the hotel were never required during our stay. The location of the hotel and apartments are very good as all links are close by the Termini which is the main railway station in Rome (good for trips further a field), the metro and all buses seem to go down via Nationale at some point.

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in October and were really suprised with the hotel - it was well priced, clean and breakfast was included. The location was great, although the hotel was a little difficult to find as its not very well sign posted. The room was quite small (enough for a double bed) but the bathroom was spacious - and really there is so much to see and do in Rome that you'll hardly spend any time in the room!!!
Great hotel, great location and great value

Tiny room that smelt of sewerage, bed slats were all broken, shower flooded the entire room, bars had been cut out of window (big enought for someone to climb through)which wouldn't lock and was told my baggage 'might' still be in storage when I returned from day trip. If it hadn't been late at night and storming I would have walked out! Definitely not worth the money and did not feel safe staying there by myself! At least staff were decent enough to upgrade me the next night however I was charged extra!

My friends and I were looking for a cheap place to stay in central Rome and we weren't disappointed. We booked a private three bedroomed room with ensuite and were extremely pleased;. the room even had a TV and a fridge.

It is situated only four blocks from the Termini Station where you can get anywhere in Rome for 1 Euro, and it's only about a mile away from the Colloseum and Trevi Fountain if you want to walk.

The only downside was the breakfast. I would not recommend paying for this as 3 Euros gets you just a croissant and roll with jam, and a selection of drinks. Coffee and tea were not great. You can easily walk down the road and get a beautiful panini for the same price.

Overally though I would definately recommend the Termini. Although it seemed like if you booked a private room, you were seperate from the hostel part, so I cannot comment if it is vastly different if you stay in a dorm.
