The staff were very nice and friendly. However, the room was very bad. The standing shower smells very bad, a smell of mold sewer, and even after reporting to the staff, the smell persisted for the whole stay. We requested for a room change, but they said all rooms are full. Also, after each shower, the water flooded out on the floor, and we had to put many towels to dry it up. The toilet is way too high for average people.

Absolutely great location. Close to train station and metro. Literally dozens of restaurant options within walking distance. Affordable. Breakfast area is compact but hotel has people sign up for when they are planning to attend so it works out. Staff great. Building is dated but well maintained.

Air conditioning was off because the hotel felt it’s near winter…I do feel it should be up to the customer if they want to use it or not. We didn’t have a choice. That’s the only criticism I have .

Hotel and room was great. Only compliant was the smell that would come out of the toilet during the night. Love how close it is to train station and the different dining options around the hotel. Best of all the laundry service right across the street.

Nice central location to Termini. Everything is within reasonable walking distance of this location. Hotel was just OK though. Water pressure on the 5th floor was quite low, which made Shower more of a light rinse. Rooms are ok, but in need of some updating. Room was very quiet. A/C worked very good.
