I loved my 4 nights in this hotel and would stay again anytime. The location was fabulous, just 5 mins from termini and a short walk to all the attractions of Rome through nice streets. The hotel is very safe for a single person to go back to, being on a main street and always manned.
The rooms were clean and basic, in fact for the price I was pleasantly surprised by them. Breakfast is a good way to fill up before you go out for the day, and nice enough.
I would definately recommend it, and would go back.

The Amalfi hotel is small in a reasonable position .Our room was small ,the bathroom was small which meant it was difficult to relax & spread out.
The breakfast was Ok with yogurt,tin fruit,rolls & sweet croisants.The breakfast room was small seating 14 guests.
The bedrom had a minibar very reasonable prices compared to Rome generally.
The restaurants near the hotel were expensive & quality was poor.
The reception at the Amalfi was limited.
Our room was on the back overlooking a courtyard & at least it was quiet.
There is a modern flat screen Tv but only showed CNN news & no other English channels.

The hotel was nice although the room was very small. The problem was, there were ants in our room that bit our daughter every night, even after spraying. Just a word of CAUTION, no matter how nice you think the hotel and the staff are, - DON"T leave anything of value in your room, even while going downstairs for 30 minutes for breakfast. Someone may be watching for you to go and go into your room and steal your credit card, id card and ATM card. It happened to us.

This is an interesting place. It is run by an Italian gentleman who chain smokes a few packs a day. I only know this because every time I passed through the lobby to enter or exit the hotel, he was standing in the hotel's entryway smoking.

To get to your room, you either have to take a somewhat windy staircase or cram yourself into the elevator, which will only fit one person and one piece of luggage if you are lucky.

Once in your room, you'll notice it has all the basics. Nothing too nice, but nothing too bad. The room seemed clean and had a small flat screen television. However, the pillows were as hard as a rock. I have never slept on a pillow quite like these. They probably cost about 1 Euro each to buy - and for that price, the hotel overpaid.

The bathroom is fine. The toilet was incredibly hard to get to. There was less then 1 foot of space between it and the shower door (so good luck!) The bed was fine (minus the pillows of course) and the room had a mini bar.

My boyfriend and I tried to sleep in, but the maids knocked on our door early in the morning the first night we slept there. They hotel didn't offer a do not disturb sign so we made our own.

My boyfriend also stayed out past midnight a few nights we were there. The only problem with this is that the front door of the hotel was locked each time and we couldn't get in. We had to pound on the door for what seemed like at least 2 minutes before the chain smoking manager showed up to let us in (he had obviously been sleeping on the lobby sofa).

Also, the hotel did not have internet. This proved to be a big disadvantage for us. During our stay, we priced other hotels in the area and you can get a room for the same price at those hotels (and they have internet). So my advice would be to stay elsewhere.

Location is good - close to the Termini train station. It is walkable from the train station to the hotel. From the train station, you can catch the subway to the Spanish Steps or the Vatican. When we first arrived, we took a cab from the train station to the hotel because we had luggage. Be careful if you do this - the cab driver overcharged us by at least 10 Euro (beware!)

You can also walk from the hotel to the subway station that is south of the hotel (the opposite direction of the train station). From there, you can go one stop to Ancient Rome (the Coliseum).
