“Be Very Careful”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2010
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed here on the first day of our trip and the last day. It was like two different experiences. The first day we were put in a building a good 1/4 mile from the hotel's location near the train station. The room was the size of a closet, the TV did not work, it was noisy, the bed was only 5 foot long, and the bathroom (if you could call it that, smelled awful. I was stuck with the last night so I dreaded coming back. When we arrived for our last night I complained and we were then put in another location around the corner from there office which was a world of difference. Believe me still not plush (for 80 euros you cannot expect much) but nothing like the first room. Moral of the story - DO NOT let them put you near the train station for YOUR CONVENIENCE as I was told by the individual that spoke English. The breakfasts were at snack bars across the street with a voucher for a roll and coffee. Would I stay here again - probably not. I would probably eat the higher cost and stay at the Hotel Raffaello (heaven).

“Great location, basic room, basic breakfast”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

The location is great. The room is small & basic, & the bathroom is very small. Unfortunately, the main room light & the bathroom light could only be turned on together so if i wanted to use the bathroom while my partner was asleep i had to turn on the light & wake him up. The breakfast is in a very busy cafe across the road from the hotel & only consists of one coffee & one croissant per person which is not really enough breakfast before a big day of sight seeing. The ladies on reception were very friendly & helpful. A good hotel for the budget traveller.

“We were moved to their other hotel....”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2010

We had orginally booked this hotel, but when we went to check in we were told we would be moved to their other hotel. We were told that the other hotel was much better and closer to the termini station. I was a little ticked off at the start because I had not booked the other hotel.. Checking is was ok, but it seems as though the italians need to brush up on their customer service skills. They can be quite rude as times.
We ended up following the receptionist guy in his car so he could take us to the other hotel. The area was quite dodgy, and I would have never walked alone on the streets. Full of asians and africans, beer bottles etc. It was real close to the Termini station about a few minutes away.

The rooms were quite big. We had 2 rooms, one with 3 guests and the other room with one. We orginally booked 3 single beds but were given a double bed plus the 2 singles...so that was a bonus. The rooms contained a small bathroom, large window and a fan. In our particular hotel there were only 4 rooms. BE CAREFUL...the same key that is given to you opens the other rooms too! Luckily for us there were no other guests in the room! Please be mindful of this. That was the only downfall. When booking make sure you are booking the hotel that states on the site.

“Can't wait to go back!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2010

Being the first time I've stayed in anything less than 4 stars, I was extremely nervous. It was such an awesome time, we met a great group of people and the service couldn't have been better. The rooms are spacious and always clean. The front staff is very accommodating, we were there over the Volcano Eruption and they had no problem finding us a room for two extra nights. The price is exceptional for what you get. Free Internet, and free Breakfast. Yes you have to go across the street, but aren't you leaving in the morning for sight seeing anyways?

We walked to the Colosseum and to the Trastevere area and pretty much everything we wanted to see, go around the corner to your right and you'll find a quaint little bakery that has an electric staff and delicious treats!

Can't wait to be back...Love your Canadian Friends :D

“A perfect place to stay for days of sightseeing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 March 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We selected this hotel (which is actually rooms in different sections of an apartment building) because of its proximity to Termini station, and Piazza della Repubblica, two places to pick up the metro or buses for our week of sightseeing, and it was affordable for an extended stay. The location exceeded our expectations. It is an easy 10 minute walk from Termini Station with a grocery store, pizzarias and restaurants all along the way. The walk to Repubblica was about 5 minutes. We felt very safe walking in the neighborhood both day and night.

There are different outside door entrances to the different rooms (you are given keys for all doors you must use). The rooms are quiet (no street sounds at night), very clean and the beds comfortable. You notice we say rooms and beds. We left Rome twice for trips to other countries and each time we returned we were given a different room.

The staff was exceedingly friendly and helpful. We honestly miss seeing Ica, Georgia and Adriano each day. They gave us great tips for sightseeing and shared our excitement at reconnecting with family. Internet access is available at the reception area, which we all know is quite helpful when traveling for extended periods of time. The coffee and breakfast croissant, at the cafe across the street from the hotel was a quick and easy way to begin each day of sightseeing and eating our way through Rome! Yes we will stay there again if we ever get the chance to return to Rome!
