me and my wife visited rome and stayed in RIMINI hotel on dec 2008.clean hotel,nice stuff,good breakfast,very good location(few steps from TERMINI station)
best place to stay in ROME.

Good budget accomodation. Bedrooms were clean and a nice decor with air conditioning but unfortunately the bathroom we had could have done with some modernisation although we did not find this a problem. The 6 floors of the hotel are served by an old fashioned lift which is like something out of a department store. It is meant to hold three people, yeah right, that will be without bags! The buffet breakfast was good and suitable for this star rating with various cooked eggs, hams, cheeses, bread, fruit and croissants. The hotel could not have been handier for transport links of train, metro and buses. Rome is not really a udget city for accomodation but Rimini was a good standard at this price all things considered. If i returned to Rome, this would certainly be the first hotel i would look at for accomodation.

We initially booked this hotel because of its close location to the train station (we arrived from the airport and took the train in).

We arrived late morning to be greeted by a surly looking chap in reception. Initially he told us we had no reservation. After we produced a confirmation letter with the reservation code he immediately changed his tune and told us currently all the rooms were being cleaned, so he'd put us up in an apartment around the corner.

This sounded ilke a good idea at first (who wouldnt prefer an apartment over a hotel room?). How wrong I was. 'Around the corner" actually meant a 10 minute walk away, into a much more seedy looking area (my wife said she didnt feel safe).

The apartment was big, but quite dirty. We contemplated trying to change back to a room but after carrying our luggage all the way plus the flight, we just didnt have the energy.

Luckily we were only staying 2 nights and were out sightseeing most of the time. But I'd recommend if you do book this hotel, and get offered an apartment upon check-in, politely decline it.

I’ve stayed at the Rimini Hotel for a week in February 2007, in a double room for which I have paid 80 Euro / night by voucher from the travel agency. The main trump of the hotel is his central location, being placed at 2 minutes walking from Termini central station (and related subway station) and 3 minutes from Cinquecento Place where many busses have their end-stops. At the same time there are very good connections with the airports through the shuttle bus lines (the stop is near the railway station) – 30 minutes to Fiumicino (Leonardo da Vinci) and 40 minutes to Ciampino.

The endowments of the rooms complies with and even exceeds the 3*** standard and breakfast is buffet type.

Because I was very content with the stay at Rimini Hotel, I bought again 2 twin rooms for 3 nights at beginning of November 2008, at the same price, for my relatives. On their return they thanked me for the choice I made, telling me they were very pleased with this hotel and with the services offered (very quick check-in and check-out, cleanliness, comfort and soundproofness of the rooms). Another good mark for the kindness of the staff and especially for the manager Massimo Alessi, always ready to solve any request regarding the stay at the hotel and to provide full information about the transport in Rome and the places worth visiting. I’ll choose the Rimini Hotel for my next visit in Rome as well and I recommend it to all tourists, irrespective of age, who want to profit by the services of a good hotel at decent prices.
