Hotel is a few minutes from Termini station so excellent links to the airports. 30 minutes walk to the main sites but transport options are close by. Budget hotel for a few nights stay, old in decor and appearance but clean and warm. Daily room service and fridge, kettle in room for convenience. Excellent free breakfast with plenty of choice. Staff friendly and helpful. If on a reasonable budget and for a few nights and you like a walk it is ideal. I'd stay here again when in Rome.

Staff were rude on arrival and throughout the stay. There were construction workers drilling at 6am directly outside of our room inside the hotel. Location is good and room is average. Wouldn't stay again, but it did the job.

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.

Staff and cleanliness was amazing, but definitely needs to be updated. No electronic access to your door and had a massive key that you had to keep at reception every time you left, our door was coming off its hinges, no kettle in the room and very noisy from the restaurants downstairs. Great for location, close to the terminal and sites. Though the terminal area didn’t feel safe.

Reception staff were helpful and friendly.. The state of the hotel was probably the worst Ive stayed at. The stairwell looked like it had not been cleaned or dusted since it was built. Which is a shame because the wrought iron railings are amazing. The public toilet by reception needs attention and definitely a new door. Our room had a very bad smell so it was hard to sleep. Great location close to train and walking distance to the sights. Breakfast was ok
