I have just returned from 5 nights in the Gioberti Hotel, we had 2 double rooms and 1 twin room on the 3rd floor; 2 of them overlooking the front. We found that the rooms were cleaned every day including fresh linen for the beds and clean towels. The shower was very good with plenty of very hot water and good power, the twin room had bath with shower overhead and the two girls were happy with both. A big plus was the very good air conditioner in all the rooms as it was very hot for all but 1 night of our stay. The breakfast was cold buffet with lovely meats and cheese, plus yogurt, fruit and breads. The location is very convenient for both taxi and metro and we saw nothing scary on the streets around the area at night. Taxi to Ciampino airport is 35 euro from Termini which is accross the road, or the hotel will get a mini bus if needed. there are lots of very good places to eat at very good value within 5 mins walk, also a good trattoria next door. I would go back again to the same hotel. Also some very good shops at Termini Station and the streets near the hotel.

Street near Gioberti may be a bit "sketchy" but it is safe and very well located for tourist.
The hotel interior is always spotless and rooms are well maintained. Street side windows work well for silencing street noise, but if this is big issue, ask for interior room. Baths vary in size but all have unlimited very hot water. The wireless internet rate is high, but if you plug into your laptop or netbook, the room rate is much more reasonable. Breakfast is more than adequate. Hotel staff is as friendly as you are. Several restaurants in close walking distance are excellent values. Around the corner is La Ginestra , excellent pizza, pasta and friendly service. One block away on via Principe Amedeo is Ristorante Alfredo, one of the best values in Rome. A bit more expensive but worth the short walk is Ristorante Alessio on via del Viminale and Terme di Diocleziano. IThis is not the via Veneto but the hotel is a true value.

The location near Termini and bus depot will save you countless hours on your holiday. Get the Roma Pass for transportation and direct entrances into Rome's classical sights.

This was a great hotel for doing Rome. Very central opposite the Station termini - so great for drop off from airports. Staff helpful and friendly. Breakfast great - lovely croissants! Could do most of Rome on foot from here. 10 min walk to colleseum. Can also reccommend restaurant by hotel

The best thing about the Hotel Gioberti is its location. We took the airport train to the Roma Termini across the street and were checked-in within 10 minutes of arriving in Rome. Very busy neighborhood, don't even think of leaving your windows open because of the traffic noise, but once the windows are closed, the soundproofing is great and it's relatively quiet for a huge metropolitan area.
Cons: The bathroom was small, the hairdryer is a joke (20 minutes and hair still wet). The beds are rock hard and there aren't adequate electrical sockets. Internet access is 3 euro per hr. Typical cold breakfast buffet. Pros: Extremely convenient to Metro and bus stations. Felt safe even at night (lots of police and pedestrians in the area), lots of take-out cafes close by (try the tavola caulda next door, awesome roasted chicken and potatoes). The rooms have mini-refrigerators and safes. If you're satisfied with 2 star amenities and won't spend much time in your room, then this hotel is OK.
