I have read some of the reviews of this modestly priced centrally located hotel, situated off the Via Nazionale, and within easy walking distance of Termini Station, even with wheeled suitcases.
Some of the reviewers, (travel newbies, I expect) complain about the room sizes and the amenities.
Are the bedrooms small?
"Si".
Are they clean, and is the bed comfortable?
"Si".
Is there plenty of hot water and fluffy towels in the closet sized bathrooms?
"Si".
Are they luxury suites -- suitable for entertaining or for practicing your kungfu, martial arts, or ballroom dancing steps?
"Definitely not."
These are TOURIST CLASS rooms. You get what you pay for. if you want a larger room, book at any one of the nearby American style hotel brands. You'll get a larger room, you'll get your ham and eggs, and you will be presented with a much larger bill.
We felt that the Seiler Hotel had an old-world ambience, splendid architectural details, charming courtyards, quaint views of the backs of nearby buildings in their terra cotta and other earth tones and shutters, breathtaking staircases, and friendly, multi-lingual staff.
There was an elevator, suitable for one person with luggage, or two to three well acquainted persons without baggage. Togetherness is the key word for this elevator. It worked perfectly.
The breakfast offered was perfectly adeqaute, if not large. I read that Italians don't eat much of a colazione (breakfast), but compensate at pranzo (lunch or dinner).
The thing is, people must READ before they travel, so they know what to expect. I enjoyed my honey and Nutella with crusty rolls and croissants. I found the coffee deliciously strong, Fruit juices were available, and frankly-- this hotel, and breakfast, was everything I had come to expect.
We have stayed in tiny rooms in London, and Paris, Florence, Venice, and New York City, and we know that you get what you pay for. If a hotel room is clean and comfortable, that's all we want. We like to spend our money on other things when travelling, such as opera tickets or spectacular meals.
After a long, hard, happy day of discovering Roma, we found our little slice of heaven at the Seiler Hotel.
I have no reservations about making a reservation there again.
