Great cafes nearby, right next to Cipro station, walking distance to Vatican and beyond. Rooms are small (medium mama) but practical and functional. Pool is a large bath, more than 6 people and it feels akward, steam room wasn’t working.

Perfect place to stay when visiting Rome, especially if you plan on going to the Vatican which is only a 20ish minute walk away. There was also a metro station right next to the property which made it so easy to get downtown. Super friendly staff and great place. We had a late flight out the day of checkout and they even held our bags for us while we went out and explored, free of charge!

Great hotel convenient for metro & sightseeing

The room was really comfortable and quiet with a balcony area. Spacious bathroom - staff made up the room daily. Restaurant on site. 2 mins walk from a 24 hr supermarket and 5 mins from Cipro metro. Two things to be aware of - there are no coffee making facilities in the room and TV can only be hooked up via airplay/screen casting. Lots of free movies available though. Would definitely stay again.

It was a quiet hotel but absolutely chaotic. The check in process was ridiculous. No hotel overview. No information on WiFi or spa/pool use or breakfast or anything. It was a good thing I read reviews beforehand to know you had to ask in order to get answers. In addition, our check in was awful. All the staff was wearing training badges. Weird. They gave us a room on the first floor after specifically stating our desire for an upper floor away from elevators. When we asked to be moved they then gave us a smaller room than what we paid for and it turns out it was a multiple connecting room for a family. We ended up having to go back to the original room since we were staying on property for 4 days. The street noise was loud so even though it doesn’t matter, I would still request a higher floor. In addition, we witnessed several irate customers yelling at front desk staff over rooms. The theme was they paid for a certain room class and were given the wrong room. Happened to us so seems on theme. Overall, room was fine. Bed was fine. Restaurant in hotel was good. Breakfast was lovely. Location was easy to get to metro. Not a lot around hotel but easy to get around the city. If you have kids, this would be a great place since they have an arcade. For the price and the annoying factor, I would say it was worth the stay. If your patience is lower, there are other options.

Mama shelter was a very nice stay, in a quiet portion northwest of city center (about 3-4km away). The surrounding area was nice and had decent amount of local shops and cafes. Mamas is situated not even a block away from a 24hr grocery and only a block away from Cipro metro station. Made everything and traversing Roma easily accessible. The only downfall I experienced with my stay is the lobby and restaurants on the ground level play loud music until a about midnight or a little after-we were located on the first floor so we could hear everything. Nice stay otherwise!
