Booked this hotel based on their own website (my first and biggest mistake) never thought to check up on the place on trip advisor.
When we arrived off the coach it took forever to find the place, we were on the right street but could find no marquee for hotel or sign, we walked up and down the street several times, we asked a few people and they couldnt help, we finally asked in a shop and they pointed it out, it was a small door way with a tiny plaque on the wall with the name, we rang the bell and walked up stairs to be greeted by a guy sitting at a tiny desk in a hallway (reception) we were shown our room, tiny room with 2 single and very uncomfortable beds, the toilet was ok but still had hairs on walls of shower from last guest. The room was very very noisey and i have to say we didnt feel like we were in a very safe area of the city after dark. there was a nice restaurant across the road. it ruined our first day as i felt so guilty for booking this for my friend, it was just a nasty little hotel. the breakfast was ok, coffee/tea, some breads and spreads, plus cakes and orange juice.
it was all my own fault for not doing home work on the place and just taking the website at its word. its handy for Termini (about 10-14min walk to Termini) and the hop on hop off buses which we found great for navigating the city, esp since it was out first visit. after day 2 came alone we just decided not to let the hotel state drag us down, and enjoyed the rest of the trip.
if you want a place, close to the station, are not weary of the area your staying in and have little standards about your hotel room then stay here, i wouldnt go back, there is much better for budget traveler so look around, dont take the hotel website at its word. You could find much better than this place (sorry hotel owners, the reality didnt live up to the websites version of the hotel)
