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

Perfect location for visiting Rome, great restaurants all around and minutes from Roma Termina. Compact rooms but that's what you expect in Europe. Very average breakfast but options elsewhere. Overall was happy and a good price for Rome.

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.
