Based on the reviews here, I booked 4 nights with my gf. Perfectly located, easy walking access to Termini and local supermarkets and restaurants.

There seemed to be about 7 different receptionists working there, each as helpful as the other.

My gf's luggage did not arrive with her, and the hotel made the necessary phone calls for us and received the luggage in our absence. They also were helpful calling venues for ticket information.

Breakfast was a bit boring by the second day, but it is pleantiful with fresh youghurt, coffee, juices, bread and pastries, cereals, fruit and müselli, cheese, ham,. salami. When the automatic coffee machine was non-operational, someone was making real espressos for us. No complaints whatsoever.

The reception has a computer with internet in the cramped receptionist's space, and they allowed me access to get my email etc. They also allowed me to connect my netbook via ethernet cable when I needed VPN access. WiFi is installed but not yet operational, so that negative will disappear in time.

I guess the only negative was that the rooms are not as soundproof as one would like. I think mentioned by another reviewer as well. Small, but comfortable, with a mini-bar fridge that had plenty of space for my own purchases from the supermarket. I hate overstocked mini-bars with no space.

So, overall, the Hotel Select was an oasis of service, in the disaster zone that is Rome.

Hint: Don't eat at Florians on the square - it is everything the Hotel Select is not. Overpriced, slow, grumpy service with food of average quality. Head around the block to some cheaper, far better eateries if you need a quick meal.

I walked into this hotel with no reservation, needing a place to stay after the hotel i had booked previously didnt work out. the gentleman at the front desk was extremely understanding and helpful, and showed me their available room; a lovely double on the garden. i took it gladly, and for my two night stay, i was met with the most attentive service ive experienced at any hotel- budget, middle class, or otherwise. this is not a five star hotel, but the rooms are airconditioned, and have CNN in english on the tv (which was appreciated after 2 weeks traveling around europe). the location cant be beat, and you can get buses to any and all of the attractions just around the corner. in fact, the gentleman at the front desk personally walked me to the bus stop and showed me which bus to get on. this was greatly appreciated. i will certainly stay here on my next trip to rome, and i highly recommend that you do too.

Good location, nice hotel with perfect services! Yes, it´s true - small but tidy and very cosy rooms. Staff was friendly especially the lady in breakfast room! Buffet breakfast was exceptionally good: pastries, ham, cheese, yoghurt, cereals etc. Simply perfect middle class hotel!

Stayed for three nights in this charming little hotel just a few minutes walk from Termini. The little courtyard garden with a Lemon Tree was very lovely - as was the breakfast room looking out onto it. Breakfast was included and was continenal in style, with more that enough to eat.

The staff were very welcoming and curtious. The rooms were clean, and well appointed. The only downside I think was that the bathrooms were a bit small - at least in the rooms in the Garden where we stayed.

But very happy to return!
