Just spent 9 nights at the Globus and was completely satisfied. Had a standard king size room and found it to be quite large by European standards and included a balcony. Also saw a room with two queen/double size beds (traveled with a group of family & friends) and found that room type to be pretty large also. I paid 144.00eur per night and feel it was a good deal for Rome. Everything worked great in the room. One small negative was no hot water one morning but that was it, no other complaints.

Staff was helpful but not in your face. If you needed help they were there to assist, if not a smile and a welcome back to the hotel when walking in the door was what you got. Arrived at the hotel fairly early AM and room was not available just yet. They allowed us to stash our luggage and have a coffee. Room was ready in less than half an hour and check-in went great.

Breakfast was fine every AM and found everything well stocked. Breakfast consisted of coffee, tea, juice, cold cereal, fruit (fresh fruit rather than that syrupy fruit salad you typically get), pastries, bread, yogurt, cheese, eggs, sliced cold meats & a warm sausage/wiener type meat. Basically a typical buffet type breakfast. I didn't eat an actual dinner at the hotel but did have an appetizer and a drink at the restaurant one evening and it was fine and the service good.

Location is close to the Policlinico metro stop (10 minute walk at most) and the metro gives you easy access to pretty much all Rome has to offer. I'd say once on the metro your looking at about 10-15 minutes travel time on the train to all the big sites. There's a tabacchi shop right across the street where you can get bottled water, coffee, pastries, sandwich, snacks, wine/beer, etc.... Not a huge selection of restaurants in the area but there are some so you won't starve if your looking for a bite.

Do have a restaurant recomendation to make and though it's not right by the hotel, it is definitely worth a trip and easy to get to. The name of the place is Ristorante Mario's (www.ristorantemarios.com) and is a short walk from the Cavour metro stop (third stop from Policlinico and no change at Termini required). The food here is fantastic! I ended up eating here three times which is something I have never done before while traveling. It's really that good. If you get Enzo as your waiter you will be in good hands. He speaks great English and is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and truly make it a fun experience.

Would gladly stay at the Globus on any future trips to Rome with no hesitation.

Ciao!

The area - near the university, very easy access to metro, tram and bus. Very easy access to every were in Rome.
A very good breakfast, ask for capuchino!
We have upgraded to a superior room - bigger than the regular and with a king size (but not cormtabal) bed.
The house keeping can be better - they left a soap at the room from the previous guests, they always forget to feel up the coffe and the milk at the room and the cleanliness can be better.
The Wi Fi at the room was slow and the signal was poor.
The staff was friendly and very helpfull.
But any how - it was a good experience.
Try the sandwiches at the coffe (tabbaco) shop at the corner behind.
Try the ice cream at the gelateria beside the coffe shop - one of the best in Rome.

Found this gem on the internet for a pre and post Mediterranean Cruise stop in the University area just north of Termini Station [8 Euro Cab ride] it’s just a short walk up the hill to a metro stop, one up from Termini where you can connect to anywhere.
The rooms are neat, clean and comfortable. But most important, can't say enough about the people and service here, they were terrific. Wireless and wired internet in the rooms-a tad slow but effective. We had to download a large file which would take over an hour at dial-up speeds and of course when you leave the room, the electric goes off so they took our laptop behind the front desk and downloaded the necessary file while we went out of lunch and some photo ops. Ask for Chritiano or Simona they are the BEST! We had found that Best Western [especially in Italy] are great values and always clean and comfortable. Same goes for the Best Western Hotel Pasitea -Via Pasitea, 207 in Positano. Outstanding accomidations and service.

A really good hotel with a lot of pros. The price was reasonable. Hotels in Rome can be very expensive. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was the best we had on our 16-day long trip in Italy... very fresh. And the best part is that they will send it to your room if you want without any extra charge.

The staff and service were good. The location is a little off the busy areas, but it's quiet and nice. And it's easy to reach the Termini station. Bus no. 310 stops across the road right outside the hotel and gets you to Termini in just about 10 mins.

The main negative we found was the shower. We had a standard room and the shower was TINY. So small that you could barely move in it. Using it felt like torcher. But the bathroom was good otherwise. The room was small, but that's how they are in most of Italy.

Overall a very good hotel, minus the shower part.
