Guest Reviews
- Domantas (8/5): -
- Christine (8/5): - Hotel is centrally located. Fabulous restaurants along the side streets. We had a 3 night stay. Room was cleaned very day.
We would definitely recommend a stay here to explore the city.
- Yazmid (7/5): - Ubicación y cercanía Roma Termini
- Dorohoianu (8/5): Good value for the price - Very nice garden with blooming flowers in May. Modern room, balcony. Towels changed everyday. Would recommend for the price we got.
Helpful information:
The building has an iron gate that gets you to the garden, on the right you have a button with multiple entities (other hotels), find the correct one to ring the bell.
After you pass the gate, you will enter the garden, go to the right and the first entrance (marked with B), you can ring the bell at the entrance and someone will come from inside to take you to the reception. It is left at the end of the corridor inside. Small details that did not disturb us too much, but I will list all: some dust on the desk and drawer, noise in the morning mostly from the elevator, no cups, the table on the balcony missed a leg and had to lean it on the railing, multiple keys that you have to handle to get to your room.
The elevator is old and small, for 2 people. It did not feel insecure, but might not fit your luggage in one go.
- Simone (8/5): -
- Massimo (8/5): Vacanze romane - Posizione, ascensore, tranquillità Manca una mensola in bagno o un armadietto dove mettere tutti i prodotti da bagno
- Margherita Eos (7/5): -
- Melchiorre (10/5): Perfetto! -

- STELLA MARIS (8/5): - La habitación con vista al jardín y la amplitud de la habitación. La mampara del baño perdía agua. Y algunos hongos en azulejos. Incorporaría desayuno ya q en la zona no hay.
- Jonathan (8/5): -
- Brendan (6/5): Decent place near train station - Man working behind counter was very helpful,it was close to train station Bed was abit uncomfortable,only 1 skinny pillow each didn’t help either
- Ruggiero (8/5): - Giardino interno, posizione Manca il caffè
- Mustafa (8/5): - Konum olarak Termini tren istasyonuna 400m gayet avantajlı bir yerde. Odalar her gün temizlendi havlular her gün değiştirildi. Güzel bir bahçesi var odamızın balkonu bahçeye bakıyordu. İnternet daha iyi çekebilir.
- ANA ISABEL VICENTE (10/5): - La habitación luminosa, muy limpia y las camas comodísimas después de todo el día andando por Roma. A cinco minutos de la estación Termini
- Berto (6/5): foi boa - Não tem café da manhã O local do hotel e mal sinalizado
- Elizabeth (8/5): Great Location! - The Location was great and the room it’s a good size The room wasn’t properly cleaned, the floors weren’t mopped or swept. There’s definitely room for improvement in their cleaning standards.

- Mereu (8/5): -
- LAURIOU (8/5): Endroit au top pour visiter Rome - L'emplacement au calme mais plein centre. Proche des transports. Mal isolé
- Ruscitti (10/5): - El entorno es muy agradable, el jardín muy cuidado precioso
- Luc (6/5): - Emplacement Chambre mal isolée et beaucoup de passage, literie trop dure, serviettes et couette pas très propres.
- Hernan Maximiliano (9/5): Muy buena opción cerca de Termini. - Muy buena ubicación, cerca del Metro y de Termini para ir a donde necesite.
Habitación amplia con balcón, bastante segura, con todas las comodidades, mención aparte para el frigobar que suma bastante.
Limpiaron la habitación todos los días. También pudimos dejar el equipaje en recepción hasta el horario de check in y luego del check out.

- Miroslav (7/5): - Lokacija. Blizu Terminija. Osoblje. Odlično spavanje. Menjanje peškira svaki dan. Soba deluje jeftino. Nema čaša u kupatilu, mali detalji da bi sobe mogle da se bolje održavaju. Problem sa klimom, koji je rešen u toku dana. Možda bolji opis gde je recepcija, jer je objekat veliki.
- Carrasco (10/5): - Buena ubicación, la atención del personal de recepción también muy buena, la habitación cómoda, no faltó nada.
- Laurissch (10/5): - La ubicación es muy buena tenía a 2 cuadras la estación de metro y como a 5 cuadras la central de trenes. El personal resolvió las inquietudes. La cama cómoda.
El baño tenía un pequeño olor a humedad pero nada que no se reseolvers cerrando la puerta del baño no afectó al estancia
- Fabrizia (7/5): -
- Fernando (10/5): -
- Paola (7/5): - Ok Ok
- Ana-maria (9/5): Great for a short stay! - Amazing, very helpful staff!
Location is great, it's close to all the important facilities. 5min walk from termini station; bus station was right in front of the hotel
It was clean and we had a daily room service.
Heating worked perfectly.
Not to get confused during the check in:
The main building is the one on the first picture, you open the gate using the button next to the hotel name. When you get in the garden you have to turn right and the last door is the entrance (you'll see the name on it). The reception is on the first floor (door on the left). Walls were thin so we could easily hear the noises from the other rooms.
There is an old-style elevator with manual doors. It was not very comfortable at first but we got used to it in a day😄
It's near to the termini station so location didn't feel very safe, but we didn't have any unpleasant experience.
- Giacomo (2/5): - La posizione è ottima, ma se si ha tempo per cercare qualcosa nei dintorni, si può trovare sicuramente di meglio. È stato il peggior hotel dove ho soggiornato in italia, le lenzuola, la coperta, i copriletti e asciugamani erano lerci, con macchie e sporcizia di diverso tipo. Nonostante avessimo chiesto esplicitamente di cambiarci la biancheria di modo da averla pulita, ci è stata consegnata della biancheria con le stesse problematiche della precedente. Personale alla reception scortese che non capiva né l'italiano, tantomeno l'inglese.
Sporcizia ovunque, non ho mai dormito in un posto così sporco, ho messo anche una maglietta sopra il cuscino perché c erano macchie ovunque. Bagno poco pulito e doccia con calcare e macchie sul piatto doccia. Isolamento acustico pressocché inesistente. Inoltre, alle 08:10 del mattino al piano di sopra hanno iniziato i lavori di demolizione di un appartamento, di conseguenza siamo stati svegliati dagli operai che tiravano giù i muri. Esperienza pessima, sconsigliatissimo, degrado assoluto.
- Alessandro (10/5): Ótimo - Limpeza do quarto e troca das toalhas todos os dias. Elevador, um pouco antigo, da um pouco de medo.
- Vilija (4/5): Disappointing - The garden in the yard was beautiful:)
The location is very convenient:) The mold in the bathroom and those blankets with stains - that was very disturbing:(
- Alba (10/5): Tutto perfetto - Tutto top Nulla
- Yuhi (4/5): -
- Zsófia (7/5): -
- Claudio (9/5): - Decent rooms with a convenient price. Ideal for couples. Not about the property but about Rome. You will lose a lot of tourists because of this ridiculous 5 EUR/day touristic tax. What a shame and a theft!
- Liquirizia 75 (7/5): - Posizione comoda,metro vicino. Insonorizzazione pessima.
- Luana (10/5): Voltaria a ficar lá com toda certeza - Gostei muito! A localização é maravilhosa, perto do metrô e da estação de trem. Tem mercado perto. O atendimento foi excelente! Todos os dias o quarto estava limpinho e arrumado. E ainda tinha frigobar para nos auxiliar. Só a acústica de um casal que passava toda noite pelos corredores fazendo um barulhão. Mas nada que nos atrapalhasse.
- TEODORA ANA (10/5): -
- martina (8/5): -
- Nikolas (7/5): Great value for money, great location, nice staff - Amazing location, helpful staff, nice garden on the inside. Don’t let the look of the staircase fool you, the hotel itself is renovated and my room was in a good condition.
- Léna (7/5): -
- Tomaselli (8/5): - La posizione è perfetta per la metro a pochi passi e soprattutto per la fermata dei autobus proprio di fronte al palazzo. Il personale molto gentile e disponibile per qualsiasi necessità e stanze ampie. La zona è un po’ rumorosa soprattutto negli orari di punta, ma chiudendo le finestre il suono si attutisce. Consiglio alla struttura di aggiungere qualche mobile alla camera: in bagno c’era solo il lavandino per appoggiare qualcosa.
- Joanna (10/5): Polecam i chętnie tam wrócę - Pan na recepcji bardzo pomocny i życzliwy. Nie ma czajników w pokojach ale bez problemu można korzystać z tego na recepcji, trzeba mieć tylko własny kubek. Dodatkową atrakcją była stylowa winda, hotel znajduje się w starej kamienicy. Super lokalizacja, do dworca Termini ok 5 min pieszo.
- Miriam Luz (9/5): Ingresar más temprano al hotel - La limpieza del ambiente Que no tuve acceso de ingresar más temprano.
- Cristhian (10/5): -
- fabio (7/5): -
- Vanesa (8/5): - Poloha ubytovania bola veľkým plusom, 6 minut pešo od Termini, čo znamená, že sme boli blízko k centru. Pomer cena/kvalita zodpovedala ubytovaniu. Taktiež bolo skvele, že nám každý deň menili uteráky. Vytkli by sme 2 veci. Chýbali nám poháre na vodu v izbe, tie by bolo fajn doplniť. A ďalší bol hluk z chodby v skorých ranných hodinách, čo nás zobudilo každé ráno nejak pred 6.
- Aljon (2/5): -
- Amparo (4/5): - Estaba bastante limpio y bastante cerca del centro El señor que la atiende es muy antipático
- Enzo (7/5): -
- Luigi Bonacci (10/5): La perfezione per soggiornare a Roma - Tutto perfetto....la posizione OTTIMA,la stanza pulitissima,LO STAFF GENTILISSIMO.TUTTO alla perfezione...piu' di cosi',non si puo'.Complimenti va benissimo cosi.
- Claudio (8/5): Stanza pulita e ben organizzata anche se con il box doccia rotto. - Il box doccia era rotto, sostituito da una tendina provvisoria, quindi scomoda e poco igienica. La porta finestra che da nel terrazzino condensa portando acqua sul pavimento.
- Luis Paulo (7/5): Excelente localização e boa relação custo benefício - Localização Limpeza
- Nadia (10/5): Genial - La localización es estupenda. Estás a 10 minutos de Termini andando, pero lo suficientemente lejos para no comerte toda la gente que hay en Termini.
La habitación espaciosa. Por poner algo negativo, el ascensor es antiguo y si te dan miedo los espacios pequeños y cerrados puede dar un poco de mal rollo, pero por lo demás todo bien.
- Cristian (9/5): -
- Maria Silvia (8/5): -
- çiftçier (9/5): -
- Paula (7/5): Muito bem localizado - Localização perfeita, bem próximo do Roma Termini. Wifi não funciona direito
- MissPurple (7/5): -
- MissPurple (7/5): Camera rinnovata e pulita a buon prezzo vicino a Termini migliorabile con qualche servizio in più - Camera rinnovata di recente e pulizia ottima con cambio asciugamani giornaliero. A neanche 10' da Roma Termini con affacci in interno silenzioso di grande condominio. Nessun servizio aggiuntivo nella camera a parte piccolo frigorifero e asciugacapelli. Non ci sono né un bollitore né un bicchiere di plastica e non sono disponibili neppure alla reception. Un po' di rumore le porte degli altri ospiti e ascensore piccolo e datato ma ok.
- Scarinzi (2/5): -
- Maria (6/5): Agradable - La habitación El baño
- ELIANE (8/5): - Entre Termini et République
Garde bagages après le check out (mais pas de WC près de la réception) Pas de breakfast mais Cafétéria de l'université à 2min

- Ruben dario (7/5): estuvo bien - ubicacion no
- Rosa Maria Laura (9/5): Muy buen lugar de hospedaje. Y muy valorable la ubicación. - Muy buena ubicación para aprovechar al máximo la jornada.
- Emma (7/5): Trevlig kort vistelse nära allt! Vi kunde anlända sent och det hjälpte mycket! - Det var väldigt nära allt, om man gillar att promenera. Nära Termini så det var supersmidigt. Väldigt lyhört och kunde höra folk prata i korridoren/andra rum. Men annars ok.
- Daniele (7/5): -
- Sarah (9/5): Bom custo benefício - Fiquei com receio pelas avaliações, mas me surpreendi. Não tem dificuldade nenhuma de achar o local, o quarto que ficamos era bem estruturado e limpo. Os funcionários não são muito simpáticos, o pior deles é o da noite, eis o que nos ocorreu: o elevador estava preso no último andar e queríamos subir, perguntei na recepção o que estava acontecendo e ele me respondeu com um simples “não sei” e seguiu sua vida, não fez questão de nos ajudar, no fim subimos pelas escadas.
- Kény (8/5): - Établissement très propre et pas de problème de nuisance sonore
- Jorge Leonardo (9/5): - Muy limpio y queda cerca de la Roma Termini El ascensor es antiguo, y pues nos dió miedo, da más seguridad las escaleras 4 pisos y el personal no habla ingles, solo italiano que
- Mario (8/5): Gute Unterkunft, die zum Schlafen super gelegen ist. - Alles sehr unbürokratisch und eine gute Lage zum Bahnhof. Einfachverglasung und schon etwas ältere Ausstattung. Aber nur zum Schlafen, okay!
- Renate (9/5): -
- Ágota (8/5): - Nagyon jó elhelyezkedés , kedves személyzet, tisztaság.
- Giovanni (9/5): -
- Éva (6/5): Jó helyen lévő jégverem - Nagyon jó helyen, tiszta szállás. A szoba ablaka belső kertre nyílik, így csendes. A recepciós kedves volt, gyorsan bejelentkeztünk. Érkezéskor nyitott ablak és egy teljesen kihűlt szoba fogadott, a korai ébredés miatt szerettünk volna kicsit pihenni , ami kellemetlen volt a hideg ágyon, hiába fújta a klíma a meleg levegőt. Aztán sikerült klímával kellemes hőmérsékletet teremteni . Majd az utolsó nap a takarító nyitva hagyta az ablakunkat, mikor késő este megérkeztünk, teljesen kihűlt szoba és ágy fogadott minket....
- Alexandra (7/5): -
- Andrea (4/5): - The shampoo box reads “hair and body wash” inside the real product is hand and face wash
- Maria Jeannette (8/5): Se amable y todo es mas fácil. - Central, se puede llegar facil a todos los lugares . Metro muy cerca y la estación de trenes también.
Habitación con aire acondicionado. TV. La persona que atiende si le preguntas algo te contesta enojada y no hace ni intento por hablar tu idioma (español).
La ducha no tenía para colocarla fija . No era facil lavarse el pelo y costaba que saliera el agua caliente.
- Yanetsy (5/5): Aceptable para pocas noches y si vas solo a dormir - La ubicación está bien, cambiaron las toallas cada día, cosa que me sorprendió para bien. Hay gel de ducha y secador como dice la descripción. La mampara de la ducha estaba rota e impedía cerrar por completo a no ser forzando la misma. No hay baldas en el baño para colocar nada ni cajoneras en la habitación.
- Agustin (8/5): - La ubicacion El personal un poco antipatico
