This hotel is located on the second floor of an old building close to the Repubblica metro station. It is also within walking distance from the Roma Termini station. The location is very convenient, with bus access to the Vatican and other sights right downstairs. There is a MacDonald’s and numerous restaurants downstairs from the property, and the area did not feel particularly unsafe at night. The building is in an unfortunate state right around now (September 2024) as there appears to be some sort of renovation construction going on one floor down, so the building looks quite shady and unclean, which is made worse by the construction workers who are smoking around the elevator. The hotel itself was clearly renovated recently and has some clean and new floor tiles and ikea cabinets, etc., and the rooms are quite big for the location. The AC worked quite well once I managed to figure out how to use it. However, the renovation does not adequately hide the fact that the property is fairly old and run down. This shows in the walls, windows and doors (which were not at all soundproof), and particularly the bathrooms. My shower did not drain properly so I stood in ankle-deep water whenever I took a shower, and the toilet is awkwardly tucked away behind the sink, which may be an issue if you have longer legs. Overall, I thought this was an acceptable stay, but it is definitely not the “excellent” rating that this hotel currently is on Expedia.
