Rooms were nicely appointed. We had a window right over the street but couldn't hear anything if window was closed. AC worked amazing since we were there during a heat wave. Near the train station and easily walkable to most major sites. Many great restaurants within a block. Free Breakfast was typical European style. Would stay there again.

Verified review

This hotel is well located near the train station, shopping, and restaurants. It’s not in the best neighborhood but not terrible. The lobby is pleasant as was our room. The bed was a bit hard and uncomfortable. The bathroom was clean and spacious and the shower good. The breakfast was adequate with good coffee. The stairwell and elevator are old and run down which was the only real negative thing about the hotel. For the price and location, it suited our needs.

The hotel was quiet and very convenient to train station. The lobby was shabby and curtains were falling off balances. Rooms were clean and more modern. You could tell they were recently renovated. Comfortable stay.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Conveniently located. Room was clean and very well serviced. Property looked like it was in the middle of being renovated. It needs it, as the decor must be 40 years old: needs updating (including converting the weird bath recess and in room hand basin, with separate toilet room into an enclosed ensuite. Breakfast was good. Staff were helpful.

8/10 Very good

Quick and easy check in and check out. Very nice staff interactions. Close to the Rome Terminal station which is accessed in less than 10 minutes. All major sites were walkable from this location 15-30 minutes. Room was good and clean. It is an older building so there was construction debris in some areas but did not affect us once in our room.
