Good hotel, great location, 8 minute walk from the Roma Termini. Clean and nice looking room, very spacious bathroom. Was only there for one night. The only negatives were practically no hot water in shower and old AC, not sure it was working properly as the room felt warm though the temp was set to 20C

This hotel is not acceptable for $240 per night. I was overcharged for this old and unsafe hotel. I expected a safe and relax place to enjoy my holiday. But unfortunately:
1. The lift has double doors and is like a metal safe and it’s so loud every time it stops.
2. My bed has no comforter or blanket, only a flat sheet. Pillow is so thin.
3. I almost fell from the toilet because the toilet is not sealed properly. Seal is all broken and not fixed. The back of toilet is leaking.
4. shampoo/body wash in one bottle. Only shower is provided. There’s no replenishment for 3 nights stay.
5. Receptionist was super slow. It took 20 minutes to arrange a room for me. I was the only customer at that time. He kept sighing and gave me a room for one night instead of 3 nights!! I corrected
him.
6. No kettle in the room. In their websit saying coffee/tea. It’s a lie. I need to put deposit to get the kettle. The kettle was so dirty that I need to exchange another. The second one did not seem any better.
7. No Kleenex. The stuff said only 5 stars hotel provides kleenex. Toilet paper only is available!!!
To be honest, I did not enjoy my stay at all plus I paid high price for this unsafe room. The hallway wall is coming apart and nobody is fixing it!
I took picture and video to provide how dangerous the toilet. I hope Expedia will give me explanation.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Lovely, clean room, although very basic but they are fab. Plenty of choice available for breakfast with lots of seating, all clean and tidy. Bar was lovely to sit in for a few drinks too after a long day exploring the city. Highly recommend, and I will definately be booking with them again when I go back soon!

Despite a confirmed booking from Expedia, the hotel did not have my booking when I checked in. They eventually did find the Expedia booking but had apparently forgotten to enter it on their system. Fortunately they were still able to accommodate us.

We stayed at the hotel for a week. We had a nice experience during our stay (christmas 2022).
The area around the hotel was nice; the metro was only a maximum 2 minute walk, the busstops were also equally close, there were multiple good restaurants such as Resaurant Julie and Trattoria La Travernetta Pizzeria. The restaurants had good food that were fresh and cheap (good price).
The check-in process was easy and fast eventhough we came before the given check-in time and we still got a room. The lady at the desk was pleasant and spoke english very well and gave many tips and reccomendations regarding transportarion, shopping and sightseeing in Rome.
Our room was large with comfortable beds. We had to bring our own toiletries. The towels and bedsheets were clean. It was a quiet hotel despite it being a family-hotel.
We had included breakfast (bought) during our stay and the breakfast was nice in regards to the prices in Rome. It included two coffee machines, cereal and both warm and cold food. There were cheeses, salamis, vegetables, fruits, different pastries and different jams.
The staff were pleasant and helpful and always available.
However here are some areas that can be improved. 1. The interior could be changed (lighter and prettier in the common areas. 2. The cleanliness could be better in common areas.

AVOID!!!
This hotel is nothing like advertised. You would expect from a 3 star hotel for it to be clean and basic but this was ridiculous. We arrived at 2am as our flight had been delayed and the south african male receptionist was so rude about us checking in late. I asked to purchase a bottle of water he said no as it was too late. The lift did not work properly, the corridor was dark and we had to use phone torches to find our room.
When we entered the room, it stunk really bad, it was tiny and the bedsheets had stains. The floor was dirty and it was terrible. I wouldn’t even let my dog stay in that room.
I went to the receptionist to explain the room looked nothing like the photos and we were not happy at all and he told us to go find another hotel then.
We took our things and were stood on the street looking for another hotel online at 3am - this was the worst experience of my life. Had to pay €35 to get to the new hotel, which thank god was so much nicer.
Still awaiting a refund after making a complain to Hotels.com for this hotel. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!
