This hotel is about 2 blocks away from the main train station and is very easy to get to. We were booked into a corner room, which I think was larger than most of the others. The room was normal to slightly above average in size for Europe, however, the bathroom was well above average, and it even had a bathtub. That was greatly needed to soak feet after walking so much in the city. We felt safe in the location, even walking around at night. About 3 blocks away was a very busy area with shopping and restaurants. The bed was comfortable, staff very friendly and spoke 5 languages. Breakfast was of breads, juices, yogurt, but no meats. Cheese was in the triangle foil type. The staff provided maps, suggestions, and an accurate wake up call. The hotel does have an elevator, which was useful. I would stay here again, especially for the price and location.

This hotel is a must for who intends to use the metro as is it only a street away from the station. Apart from that, Termini station is the main connection not just for Rome but for the train connection around Italy. It was very easy for us to continue our holiday in Naples for example.

Regarding the hotel, the staff is very friendly and the receptionists speak very fluent english. We had a very nice welcome, we were given a map on which the receptionist highlighted all the important landmarks of Rome. It was of great help to us.

The rooms are rather small but enough to feel comfortable in it. Both the hotel and the rooms are very clean. Breakfast is basic which means fresh croissant and bread, biscuits, orange juice, tea and coffee. Jams, butter, spreadcheese and others are at your choice.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone who needs a basic accomodation because you would have a pleasant stay in Rome for sure.

This hotel is perfect for anyone who wants to travel for a short duration of time, and is travelling on a budget. The hotel is very basic, but still has all the necessary amenities to provide a comfortable and enjoyable stay!!! The rooms are clean and cosy, although they are largely small. The interior is not particularly extravagant, but it is well decorated none the less!!! The staff are generally very helpful and friendly, but the initial welcome on the first day was a little cold! The breakfast selection here again, is rather basic, but still good enough to kick start your day!!! One of the greatest benefits of this hotel is that it is small, and private, so you don't have to worry about the noise, and bustle of fellow stayers!!! As for the location, the Mariano is in one of the seedier parts of Rome, but is still central to the main attractions, majority of which are within close walking proximity. The hotel is also close to the Termini station which is useful if you wish to travel out, or if you're just not much of a walker!!! Overall, I had a pleasant stay; the rooms were comfortable and clean, the location was within good range of all major attractions and the staff were polite and lovely!!!

This hotel was very good. It is located close to the main train station in Rome. It seems to be in the Chinese district and although there were a few randoms hanging around in the surrounding area sometimes, we didnt feel threatened at any point and nobody ever approached us.

The hotel had very friendly staff who were happy to help at any point during our stay.

The hotel is an ok walk from the Colosseum but Vatican City is probably a bit too far to walk (especially in the heat). We solved this by booking a 2 day pass on the City Sightseeing bus which allows you to hop on and off all day. This was useful to see the further away sites.

The room was fairly small but still sufficient, the ensuite was clean and large enough. Breakfast was typical continental but there was enought choice with cereals, croissants etc. Rooms are secure with CCTV in the corridors, a receptionist who seemed to be there all of the time and a keycard system to enter the rooms.

I would definately recommend this hotel as a good place to see the sites of Rome.
