There are many hotels near Termini that can satisfy your needs for inexpensive accommodations within a fair price. The Astoria Garden however does this, but has a garden to add value to your stay. The rooms are smallish, but clean. The bat is well appointed, and not excessive.. but unlike other hotels in the Termini area... you go int the garden and enjoy the warmth of Rome with flowers and birds rather than stay in a small cramped room overlooking a busy street. There is a good size grocery store 1 block away for more than your basic needs (food, wine, beer, snacks and fruit etc), at local prices. The staff was very friendly with excellent English and helpful suggestions. I personally would stay here again in a heartbeat. If it were Winter and the garden not available, I am sure you could do as well elsewhere, but the opportunity to sit outside in a quiet lovely space made the hotel a special place for us.

My husband and I went for a weekend in Rome. The hotel is very good placed close to Termini. However I think it would not ne hard to find a more comfortable hotel just as close to Termini as Astoria Garden hotel!! The hotel is very clean and fresh, I give them that. BUT the rooms are extremely small so is the bathrooms. Our weiv was out to a school covered in graffiti, very noisy. The beds must be made of bricks, they are horribly hard!!!!!!!!! The breakfast was HORRIBLE!! Croissants and bread that felt like they had been out for a week, teethbreakers. I am deffinately not a complainer, I am easy to please, but this was just too much!! Even at 7.00 on a Monday the bread was just as bad. I am sorry I would never go here again and i recommend you to look at a nearby hotel!!!!!! There are MANY around in the same neighbourhood!!

We choose this hotel due to it location being close to the main central station which was the drop off for the transfer from the airport. The walk to the hotel is approx 5 minutes. We were not disappointed - the hotel was as we expected . It is a small hotel located down a quite road with a few near by restaurants. The front desk was very helpful - the room was clean and functional if a little small. The bed was very firm and the bathroom was also well presented and had a good shower. You could hear noise (television) from the next room but after all the sight seeing and walking it didn't keep us awake. The hotel has a small tropical style garden which would be nice to use in warm weather. Breakfast was basic continental style - nothing special

If you're going to Rome and want a reasonably priced hotel within a short walk from Termini, the train station, you can't go wrong with Astoria Garden.
We stayed two nights in early May, 2009, and were very pleased. The staff is very friendly and helpful, particularly the delightful bellman who explained to us that the most important thing in life is amore (love). How right he is!
Our room was clean, the bathroom was newly redone, and the bed comfortable. We asked for a room facing the garden and it was very quiet. The breakfast was good with lots of selection, including a cappuccino machine for morning coffee. There was a little fresh fruit (pineapple), but it was gone early and only canned peaches and prunes remained. That was the only little glitch in an otherwise ideal stay.
