The hotel is wonderful and modern with comfortable beds, clean and spacious rooms, and reasonable rates. Guests also enjoy the good breakfast with a fair selection, despite the breakfast room being crowded.

Few guests experienced fluctuating shower temperatures due to water temperature adjustment issues.

    “Everything we needed and more”

    Extremely clean, nice sized rooms, nice breakfast included and beautiful view from the rooftop. Couldn’t ask for much more! Location was great, walked a lot and took taxis when needed. Would definitely recommend!

    “Good hotel, convenient location”

    The hotel is conveniently located about 5 to 10 minutes by foot from Termini station (railway and metro lines A and B), and about 5 minutes by foot to Pretorio Castro metro station (metro line B). Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps are about half an hour's walk away if public transport is not used. Porta Pia is around the corner. There are many nice restaurants around. The location is not *especially* quiet, but in a fairly quiet spot by the standards of Rome (and any other big city). We did not wake up at night from any noise from the street. The staff are friendly and helpful. The double room was big enough for two people and a week. The decor and installations are modern, the bed is comfortable. The breakfast buffet could offer more choice. The breakfast room can be crowded because of the location of the coffee machine and toaster, but this cannot be helped and queues clear quickly. The rates we payed in late March were reasonable.

    “This hotel was lovely but Agoda didn’t send our request to the hotel”

    It was lovely to stay in this hotel. When we booked this hotel, we left a note saying we needed twin beds and upper floor, a quiet room. But Agoda didn’t tell the hotel. And the hotel just arranged a classic room for us which is a double bed room. They didn’t have any rooms to change for us on the first night. I knew this was not the hotel’s fault. And the hotel staffs were very helpful. They arranged to change room for us the other day. And the room was clean and breakfast was amazing, got variety of food. It’s close to metro line, with some nice restaurants nearby. We had a pleasant holiday there!

    “Good if you want to be close to train terminal”

    Not close to the prime location where Patheon and everything is, but good if you want to be near the train terminal. Shower can be improved, water is sometimes cold and hot. Room is clean though, and breakfast is good and staff is friendly

    “Fav hotel out of our trip”

    I find our room really comfortable, enjoyed our stay there! The room is clean and spacious for us. Location-wise, it’s on the side of Roma Termini that i feel is less dodgy - we’ve not felt unsafe when in the hotel vicinity. It’s also within walking distance to a few metro stations. The lift is quite small though and we’d a small scare when it stopped suddenly once, but anyway you can always use the stairs if needed since the hotel is only 6-storey high. Do note that the shower runs hot and cold, but it’s not an issue since it’s not scalding hot or freezing cold.

    “Hotel is good. Agoda is poor”

    Booked junior suite on Agoda, checked in to be given superior room. The hotel showed that Agoda used a third party to book the room which booked the wrong room. Contacted Agoda who apologised and offered 15% refund. Disgusting from Agoda. The hotel itself was ok, nothing special, breakfast ok, location excellent, but a bit over priced. Staff were also fine. Me review rating is based on hotel but careful when booking with Agoda.

    The surroundings of the accommodation were quiet, and the room was small but clean. It was cramped for three families, so I recommend it for two people traveling together. The bread served at breakfast was very delicious, and overall, I was satisfied.
