This hotel was a shocker! The only plus to this ghetto shanty was its convienient location to the Termini Station...just stay away. Rome was our last stop on our Honeymoon in Europe and we were very disappointed with this hotel to say the least. Here are some of the reasons, very dirty and uncomfortable neighborhood, our bed smelled like some drunk had vomited on it the night before and the walls were very dirty and we had ants everywhere in our poor excuse for a bathroom, when I went to take a shower the faucet handle fell off into my hand!!! Oh, and don't expect a nice towell to dry off with, what they offered was equal to a large paper towell. May I suggest going out somewhere for breakfast... because all that they had was a meager, nasty, dry peace of bread and watery juice. By the way we were on the 5th floor and it was quite the trek to get up there everytime because my wife was too afraid to step foot into thier rickety small elevator that seemed to be loosely nailed to the outerwalls of the hotel. If your thinkin' about it... don't do it!!!!

Considering this is a 2-star hotel I think you get good value for your money. The location next to Termini was very convenient, and we found the various horror stories about these quarters largely overexaggerated. The areas around any central station can be a bit rough, but we were never harassed, neither did we feel unsafe, even in the evenings. The staff at the hotel were mostly friendly and helpful. There were several nice little restaurants in the neighbourhood, but particularly we want to recommend "Angelo"!!!! Lovely food and wonderful staff! Just turn right outside the hotel and then right again at the next corner.
The rooms at the hotel were well cleaned every day, but the breakfast was very boring. Dry bread or rolls and jam. One day we found little ants in the bread! Not very nice.
Quite noisy street outside with trams and cars, but we live in the countryside normally, so that was part of the city experience!

I didn't really enjoy my staty at Capitol. There always seemed to be a slightly smoky smell in the room, and having a shower completely flooded the bathroom. Slats were missing from the window so light flooded in all the time from street lights, and there was always stairs to lug your bags up and down regardless of what floor you are on. The breakfast was basically just rolls and the tea was strange looking and tasting. It was however great to be so close to Termini and there are a few restaurants nearby.

The only positive point is the location near the termini. No AC, we were there in june, it was too hot and didn't able to breath after a small effort. We had to sleep with window open and all that streets sounds: tramway until 1h am, so many people outside, music, etc. Bring ear blocks and some pills to sleep. The door of the shower didn't close and there was a flood in the bathroom after the shower. So many moisture on the ceil and the walls. And you can smell it as you enter the room. The towels are good to dry the dishes only. The breakfast is horrible, unfresh bread and moisty crackers. The coffee is black and green...pouah. So deceiving...
