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.

The first impression was okay as the entrance really looks nice but that's it! The check-in was friendly this is the only good thing I can say about the hotel. Our room was so small that it was not possible to open our trolleys except on the bed - the smallest room I ever had in my life! The same with the bathroom - it was so small that you could hardly move. The window was to the backyard - at least it was quit.
Breakfast room is in the basement and is dark and unfriendly. Service is not existing there. The breakfast generally was poor - we learned to go out for breakfast. The hotel is simply not worse the money you pay.

This hotel is a dump, plain and simple. Upon opening the door to our hotel room, I practically fell onto the bed because the room was so tiny. The room consisted of a double bed, 2 small bedside tables, and an armoire with a tiny television on top. There was no telephone in the room or alarm clock, so you better bring a device to wake you up in the mornings. There was no place to sit or even put our luggage. The bathroom was also tiny. The shower was ridiculously small and was in the center of the bathroom which means the floor gets soaked. There was a small window in the room, but it provided no light, because there was a layer of dust on both the screen and the window itself.

Breakfast was typical, rolls with butter and spreads and a choice of coffee or tea. The one good thing I can say is that the location was convenient.

My Husband and I stayed at this hotel during Thanksgiving weekend. When we got into our room, we noticed it was pretty small...but my husband definitely noticed the really really small shower. If you drop your soap, you will have to get out of the shower to get it. We are not big people--average, but the shower was extremely small. A bit bigger than the elevator. So, in addition to the small room and small bathroom, the elevator will fit 3 regular sized people bunched together. On the good side, the hotel staff was pretty helpful, especially the young girl. She gave very detailed information and helpful with sites to check out. Also, the great thing about this hotel is that is it both near the metro and the train terminal so getting around was awesome. LOCATION WAS EXCELLENT!

I was very concerned to read the reviews AFTER I had booked the hotel, however I was very pleased with what I found. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff helpful and friendly, breakfast was fresh and the location meant easy walking to all the sights, all this and excellent value for money, I would recommend this hotel to other travellers
