3 Minutes walk from main railway station, in a safe area, old hotel, old fixtures and fittings - could do with a face lift - BUT comfortable, clean and handy for walking to everything. Breakfast good and downstairs bar nice place to relax. Free internet connection in lounge.

My daughter & I stayed here as our first stop to our European trip in early October 2008. Not knowing what to expect we were very pleasantly surprised. We had a room at the front on the 1st floor & the only complaint ,was because it was very warm in Rome at the time, leaving the window open at night was hard as the noise coming from the street made it a bit hard to sleep - closing the window cut out most of the noise but then the room was a bit warm - but honestly not that hard to put up with - we had a room with 2 double sized beds & so comfortable. The bathroom had been recently renovated & really very very nice. The only problem we had was the pillows were incredibly lumpy & very hard to get into positions for sleeping, this point was really our only problem with this hotel.
Our room was very clean as was the rest of the hotel.
The hotel offers free internet & this is such a plus - it is a bit slow at times & you have to wait your turn as there is only one computer but our whole time there we had to wait only once.
The front counter staff were very helpful & always nice to us nothing was too much trouble, the cleaning staff were the same ,the only people that were a bit distant were the staff in the breakfast room, no where as nice as any of ther rest of the staff.
Breakfast we found from our travels around Europe was really great, lots of salad, ham, plus juice coffee tea, pastries cereals ect, after reading the previous review were are both a bit disappointed as were never saw any bacon & eggs, don't know if there wasn't any at the time or if the staff couldn't be bothered serving us any - not to worry we'll know for next time.
I f you get back from your sightseeing before 5pm ( I think) the hotel also offers free tea coffee juice & bickies in the TV room & there is also a bar that opens at night although we never used it.
We really liked this Hotel. Also as mentioned being 2 women on our own was not a problem & at no time did we feel unsafe walking around the area the Hotel is in - Now for the rest...............
Being so close to the station was the best, we did not travel on the trains again until we left for Florence but at the station is also the bus terminal so getting around if you wanted to do so by bus is extremely easy.There is a supermarket not far from the hotel, when you come out of the hotel turn right & just keep walking up the street & it is straight ahead slightly to the right.
Also if you exit the hotel & turn right , heading back towards the station, there are two restaurants, one on each corner, both are on the other side of the road as you exit the small lane the Milani is on, BEWARE - do not waste your money - it would be better to go without food rather than try & deal with the people that run these restraunts,both of them are so incredibly rude, the one that has pastries in the window has terrible food & the older man who is the waiter yelled at us making my daughter cry, we did not know that you must not try to pay your bill at the cash register at the door, maybe he misses out on the tip or something, but he yelled at us calling us rude Americans ( we are Australian) I could not make him understand me, & being two women alone ,seemingly made us easy marks & ok to yell at. The other one simlpy ignored us, we could not get anyone to serve us, the waiter served everyone else & even when we got up to leave no one cared a bit.This was all on our first night .
It is a hike but we discovered an area the other side of the Piazza Novona that has the most amazing food & the people are fantastic. There is also the best English speaking dentist (unfortunately I had real trouble on my first day) he fitted me in & then gave us tips on where to eat & what to see around the area - really great - His nane is Dennis M Winter Tel [--] via Del Governo Vecchio 73.
My daughter & I really loved Rome & we are at present planning our next trip back there, taking my husband this time, We are definitley going to stay at the Milani (maybe in a back room next time) & woulld recommend it to anyone

As I was doing a review for another hotel I decided to include the Milani as we have stayed here afew times on our way to other places in italy.
We have always been in good, clean room.Nothing to complain about there.Looking onto the street on one occasion,cno noise whatsoever.Next time looking into a liile courtyard at the back,perfect.
Breakfast is ok,tea, coffee.juice,rolls, toast and if your into ham ect in the morning there also.Oh must not forget the boiled egg.
It is so convenient to the Terrmini,off the train,out the side to the right,cross the street,40yds on,turn left hotel just on your right.The area might not be the best,few drunks around but they are mostly at the front of station.
Never had a problem here.
Try it.

Been to Rome a couple of times now and although the "termini" area is not the best, being near to the station gives you an abundance of travel options around the city.
The hotel itself was cheaper than those we used in the past and to be honest beside the decoration which is minimal we could not see a significant difference to the more expensive ones we used in the past. The rooms were clean and quite large, bathrooms hygenic, beds were comfortable. The breakfast was typical of what you get in Rome and dare I say it nearly every hotel in the world, cold meat, cheese rolls, scrambled egg, bacon,cereal, tea, coffee and fruit juice.
bar area small but cheaper than drinking in most of the cafe's and retaurants, we only had a couple before going out for the evening. reception staff were helpful and didn't pass any comments even though we returned each night with our own wine to drink, saying that the mini bars in the rooms were poorly stocked. there's a supermarket near so I suppose most hotel users do the same thing as it's a lot cheaper.
Rome itself was busy as normal for October, the weather was great.
Overall I would go back to this hotel and would recommend it to others only if they are more interested in the sights of Rome and convenience of getting there rather than the quality of hotel and it's amenities.
