Disgrace!!! Efforts will be made to get this place shut down. It is a health risk, a fire risk and a personal safety risk. Please do not book or even walk into this place, just look in the elevator, it'll convince you not to stay.

For 85 euro less you can stay 100 yards away in a 3 or 4 star hotel. Please don't make the mistake we did and part with your money to this [--] hole.

Booked for several nights but on arrival rooms not ready and place dirty, air conditioning not working, bathrooms dirty, some beds also dirty and shabby and we were asked to pay the remainder in cash later that day. All rooms and bathrooms where the same and we were charged 100 euros per night. Breakfast the next day was a croissant and a coffee at the coffee bar across the road paid for with a 1.50 euro voucher from the hotel but don't expect to sit down to eat or stay long! All our party were contacted to pay the bill in cash straight away. After the first night we all moved to The Aphrodite - just round the corner - 85 Euros a night, clean rooms and bathrooms and a breakfast in the hotel restaurant - go there instead! If you booked & paid you're deposit by credit card then 'phone & cancel your card if you leave early - just in case!

It was not stated when booking that the hotel was on a second floor. the bathroom was tiny and smelt due to poor ventilation. the bathroom walls had old soap marks on them. the double bed was 2 single mattresses pushed together hence my husband and i had to keep pushing the foams together as they kept separating in the middle (and i had my 17months old baby with me.)
Breakfast was extremely poor and outside the hotel- other hotels have a proper buffet and meals are indoors. also we waited a good many mins before the receptionist came to attaned to us even though we had buzzed in and they knew of our arrival. also we came back from a trip on sunday to find out that the room had not been tidied. when someone came, the room was still not swept. Wet towels were dried on the chair instead of been replaced (once). when asked, i was told the AC unit was broken- well then maybe we should bot have been given that room.
Other than for the location, i would not recommend this hotel to anymore.

The grossest part of Rome

I spent a month traveling throughout Italy and Greece and this was by far the worst part of the entire trip.

Between the rude staff, insanely small rooms, dirty bathrooms and the overall depressing atmosphere of this "hotel" I would rather sleep outside the Termini than ever return to it.

I strongly advise anyone visiting Rome to stay as far away from this dump as possible. Unless of course you like to feel dirty all day long and enjoy creepy men watching you from behind the building.

I now only wish I would have thought to take some incriminating photos of this place to prove to everyone how disgusting it really is.
Stay away!

We arrived at Hotel Rubino at 1am, we'd booked a double room with shared bathroom which ended up being in a completely separate building. We arrived to find no electricity and climbed the stairs to the room in complete darkness. This was probably just as well as the room looked awful even in the dark. I'd already been asked to pay in cash, despite booking on a credit card, which I was eventually given back when it was clear the problem was not going to be fixed and a kind member of staff helped us find another hotel. However, I arrived home to find the money for the room had still been taken from my credit card. Numerous emails have been sent regarding this but there has been no reply. Needless to say I wuold not recommend staying at this hotel.
