We (4 travellers) booked Hotel Magic because we checked its website and it looks so beautiful. It is totally misleading. We got there, and yes it is around the Termini station. Very little did we know that the area near station is not very safe. According to some local shop owners, any areas in Rome is pretty safe from any violence crime...but beware of pickpockets. Termini area has so many people coming from all over the place, and so packed, so again, beware of pickpockets! Local shop owners said, get out of there, don't walk at night...bla bla bla. So, we were so bothered by this and we decided to move to another hotel the next day. The next morning, the lady who owns the hotel was so mad at us that she refused to charge only the night we stayed...she wanted to charge us for 3 nights! We were arguing with her and she was extremely rude. She yelled at us, threw our reservation paper right in front of our face while raising her voice and her hands. It was the most terrible and rude thing we ever experienced. So, we ended up paying for 2 nights, although we only stayed for 1 night.
Another thing, although the room is nice, the bathroom is outside the room, and it smelled so bad. The shower has rust all over it, the bathroom floor was very slimy.
We ended up moving to an old hotel, in a nicer neighborhood around Park Borghese.
That morning full of arguing and yelling from the hotel owner put us in a very bad mood all day. Don't stay there.
