The room was good. Bed was comfortable and we had a nice view from our room. The bathroom shower was super small tho. Other than the shower, we didn’t have any problems.
Also it’s super close to the metro and walk distance from terminal and most of the tourist places.

The area is perfect to walk around as there are lots of dining options available for a short distance as well as convenience stores. Metro very close by which made exploring the city easy and getting around at a low price not complicated. The place was very secure to get inside which was comforting. The cleanliness/bathroom could have been a little better but it was overall okay. Staff however was excellent and very helpful in showing around as well as so so friendly and prompt at responding messages

This is a great option for anyone looking for an efficient location near the Termini train station. Staff was really friendly and accommodating, holding our luggage before check-in and after checking out so we could continue exploring the city. Communication was always on point and room was all we needed to crash for the night. Although the area surrounding the Guest House is not the prettiest, Rome is a very safe city and we never felt unsafe walking near the property late a night. There are two fantastic pastry shops within walking distance from the Guest House, which were absolutely amazing! I recommend and would stay at this property again.

Magic Door Rome
Stayed for 2 nights. Check in was easy and service was very friendly. For a “budget” hotel we found the room and security to be very sufficient. And the location next to the park and close to Termini was wonderful. Would stay here again if returning to Rome.

Lily who checked us in was great. Friendly and helpful with directions. Property is close to a Metro stop and 15 walk from Termini. Room was big and clean. Building does have an elevator but elevator isn’t available for Magic Door guests. There were a few homeless ppl on the same street but Otherwise was a convenient location.

The place itself was wonderful to stay at. Lily was a very gracious host and we would definitely come back. A good amount of sites and restaurants are within walking distance. Just know that even though there is an elevator, you still have to go down a few stairs to get into the actual rooms. The area around the rooms is not perfectly scenic, but it's Rome and beautiful all the same!

We had a great stay. Check in was quick and easy. Our room was clean and comfortable. The espresso machine that was available 24hours was amazing. Within a quick walk of the coliseum, and the metro station down the block puts all other tourist destinations within 30minutes. We were also able to store our luggage after checkout because we had an evening flight. They were kind and helpful, always asking if we had everything we needed. Definitely would stay again.

Great room in Rome
We loved our stay! The room was really cosy, bed was very comfy. The view from our window was so nice to wake up to every morning watching the park and the street.
The building felt very safe.
Very happy with the bed and pillows which were really comfortable and we had a great nights sleep and weren’t bothered by other customers as other reviews had said the walls were thin. The windows were great for blocking out the noise from the road too.
The aircon in the room was fantastic and a welcome relief when we got back every day. It’s in a perfect central location to walk to the colosseum or Trevi fountain and your 1 minute away from the metro!
Carlos was super helpful when we got there too giving us all the information we needed. Would definitely stay again!

It was tricky to find the location; it's in an apartment complex and you need to ring a bell (maybe a few times) before you talk to a person and get the codes for getting in. Once we found it, the room was lovely. It was a heatwave, but the a/c worked well. The staff was very friendly. Also, FYI, in all Italian hotels there is an extra tax to pay in cash once you are there and not covered on Expedia.
