Shocking

This is not a hotel. It’s up a stair and share the area with a Love Hotel. The poor girl that runs reception has to sleep on the sofa and you wake her up as you get to the hotel. Quite a welcome. The room condition was shocking with flaking walls and a room in disrepair. It was clean thankfully. I have never stayed in anything like this in my 40 years of travel round the world. Yes I took a cheap option as it was a busy period in Rome my fault. But the pictures one the report on this place are in correct. Why was everything in Chinese in Italy?? Maybe that’s were the rating came from.....

Stay very far away from!!

Hotel room was dirty not as described. It was very hot outside so when we leave the room we have the ac on so when we come back we come into a cold room. They kept coming into our room to turn off the AC! The first time I looked at my wife and asked if she did it because I left it on she said no so I kept an eye on it. Later that day when we returned the AC was off again. The room had fleas in it. On our last night their we seen 3 fleas on the bed. My wife was so disgusted we pack our stuff up and Peter early. Very disappointing for our honeymoon.

Buono per chi bada all'essenziale

Ottima posizione. Struttura molto semplice, ma pulita ; servizio pronto ad accogliere le richieste, anche se non tutti gli addetti parlano bene italiano. Buono l'impianto di aria condizionata (i giorni del soggiorno erano molto caldi). Da migliorare l'arredo: mancano ganci e attaccapanni a muro (anche nel bagno, per gli asciugamani). In compenso, i letti sono comodi, con buoni materassi. Anche se nella via ci sono buoni bar, potrebbe essere comodo far colazione in albergo, cosa non possibile, almeno per quanto sono riuscito a capire.Non c'è ascensore e le scale sono molto ripide, cosa che per me non ha rappresentato un problema, ma potrebbe disturbare una persona molto anziana o a ridotta mobilità.

bed and breakfast hotel zonder ontbijt

Het is een klein hotel je loopt er zo voorbij. De kamer was ruim genoeg, wij hadden zelfs een terras! Elke dag schone handdoeken, bed opgemaakt, netjes schoon. Bed wel erg hard en een beetje klein. Je moet telkens je sleutel afgeven bij de receptie als je hotel/BB verlaat en hem weer ophalen als je terug komt. Ontbijt is niet inclusief.

Greit lite hotell

Ikke noe stort flott hotell men var rent og hadde fin beliggenhet med gangavstand til det meste av severdigheter i Roma sentrum, for de som liker å gå.Greit hotell for de som ikke har tenkt å oppholde seg på hotellet men være ute og se mest mulig av Roma mens de er der.

Good low cost option

Pros: clean, organized, kind staff (they have borrowed cutlery and dishes), near the station (not very near), enough space, very nice bathroom and shower, fridge, nice neightbourhood, near the metro/bus/market. Cons: no elevators (with a high stair), noisy, both air conditioning and heating were not working, breakfast available for 4 euros each person, but with very limited options (tea or milk, one croissant and a yogurt). Although considering costs and benefits it was a nice and confortable hotel to stay when in Rome.

La chambre était spacieuse. Sdb attenante spacieuse également avec produits de soins. Ménage était bien fait. Climatisation fonctionnait correctement.

Place to stay

Overall, it's a place to stay. Absolutely no frills here. The two good things were that the shower worked well and its proximity to Termini. Speaking of proximity, I would have never found it if not for a reviewer mentioning the wood door and it being across from Hotel Montreal. The staff is friendly. This was a very last minute trip, otherwise I think I could have done a lot more for my money

Bra läge

Ligger mycket nära tågstationen där även bussar till flygplatsen går. Nära till Colosseum och andra sevärdheter. Rummet var lyhört, slitet, saknade fönster... Sängen? Ja den var faktiskt stehård men såg ut som en säng... Tror att vi fick personalrummet, Vi fick dock betala fullpris. Dåligt!

Tolle Lage, Ausstattung dem Preis angemessen

Wir konnten von dort sehr viele Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß erkunden, denn es ist ganz nahe dem Bahnhof Termini gelegen. Die Ausstattung ist einfach, wie es der Preis vermuten lässt. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und ordentlich. Enthalten waren auch Handtücher und das Bad hatte einen Föhn, was nicht sicher aus der Beschreibung hervorging.

Goed hotel, dichtbij termini

Ik heb hier samen met mijn vriendin 3 nachten doorgebracht. Het hotel is klein maar is in goede staat. Personeel is heel erg vriendelijk en zijn altijd aanwezig. Ook spreken ze goed Engels, waardoor ze verstaanbaar zijn en dingen aan ze kunt vragen. Enige minpuntje was het ontbijt. Hier moest je extra voor betalen maar was niet goed. Ligging van hotel is goed. 5 minuten lopen en je bent op Termini. Vanuit hier kun je alles goed bereiken. In het hotel kan je een kaart krijgen (gratis) met daarop de bezienswaardigheden in Rome. Wij kijken samen tevreden terug op verblijf. Als zouden we volgende keer iets meer in de buurt van de pleintjes etc willen zitten. Dit omdat daar 's avonds leuker is dan waar dit hotel ligt. De wijk is niet echt geweldig, vooral niet om 's avonds te vertoeven.

Salle d'eau très exigu, sans tablette pour le lavabo, d'aspect mal entretenue, pas de chauffage , une douche qui déborde et des odeurs désagréables .

Notre chambre ayant un souci technique nous avons été relogé dans un autre hôtel situé à 200m. Sans supplément et à qualité identique. Hôtel calme et situé à 10 min à pied de la gare Termini et a 300m d'une station de metro. Idéale pour les longues balades a pied dans le centre de Rome Nous y retournerons sans souci. Le gardien vous garde gratuitement vos bagages lorsque vous quittez la chambre lors du dernier jour avant de reprendre la route de l'aéroport.
