The water at the shower was not warm. Upon speaking to the front desk, he mentioned that is the state of water in the capital of Italy.
Its was strange. For the last day we got reasonably warm water.

good service and good location. well done!
handy (i.e. 2-minute walk) to Termini. breakfast options were fairly limited, but the breakfast staff were wonderful, and the quality of the food was excellent. The rooms were well maintained and comfortable.
a lovely place to stay for those wanting to be near Termini for a late/early departure or arrival.

Good stay, convenient
The hotel is conveniently located near the main Roma Termini station. It’s walking distance to many sights. Staff was approachable, and the paid buffet breakfast was sufficient.

The room assigned to us is on the 1st Floor by the road with restaurants and is very noisy up to 100am. We can hear people talking outside. The room was partially renovated. The dirty window and the cabinet was in poor condition, dirty shelf that we cannot use, door of cabinet paint chipping off. The chair on the desk is dirty and has stains. The bathroom is very small, no counters to put our toiletries, there is a small stool provided. The very small shower room has molds, no soap dish. We have to put our shampoo on the floor. When we entered the room it has a bad smell. The waiting area in the lobby is not comfortable. We found out that there are nicer rooms in upper floors. Staffs are accommodating especially Tamer who is kind enough to lend us the air freshener. The location is very close to train station and has a lot of restaurants nearby. But still this hotel is NOT recommendable.

Our room was fantastic… spacious, modern and clean. We had breakfast included and there was quite a good variety of food to choose from (over and above the typical European coffee and pastry). Great location in proximity to the train station, there’s the typical crowd you usually find around train stations but the streets were actually cleaner than anticipated. Would make a great hub for exploring the city

This hotel was perfect for what I needed it for, which was a place to stay between train trips, close to the Opera house because we had tickets for a performance there. The staff was incredibly nice—I had booked two nights as separate reservations due to a change of plans, and the man at the front desk arranged it so that we could stay in the same room even though the bookings were for different types of rooms. I was also pleased as it was the only bathtub I had in Italy, and the beds were not as hard as some other places we stayed. I wouldn’t want to stay in this part of Rome for long unless I needed access to Termini as it’s not a very charming area, but it served its purpose for my needs. I didn’t try the breakfast as we decided to skip that in favor of getting cornettos and cappuccinos at a cafe.

Hotel is in an excellent location 6 minutes walk from Roma Termini station. Check in was very smooth. Very welcoming attitude of the front desk attendant. Rooms are good but awkward positions of shower and I will call you. In the meeting.
