Please do yourself a favor, do not stay at The Clarin Hotel! We couldn't even stay there one night! We knew it was not good when no cab drivers had ever heard of it out of about 5 of them that we talked to at the train station. The cab driver we had only found out after calling his company and them looking it up. So, we get there and it says it is on the second story, which we thoght was odd. So, we attempt to get in the tiny elevator and it is broken. We get up to the hotel and we immediately notice one thing-the smell! It smells absolutely horrible! Like mold and smoke! We reluctantly go to check out our room and it stinks horribly, as well! We have honestly never smelled anything so horrible. We asked for a Queen and twin bed and there are three twin beds in our room. The bathroom is tiny with the smallest shower I have ever seen. My Husband sees a whole bunch of mold on the top of the toilet. We leave to find another hotel and end up being able to get a room at a great place just up the street. We go back to talk to the guy at the front desk at The Clarin and it was interesting. We had hoped since we hadn't even been there for 30 minutes he would let us go with just paying our depsoit. Nope. He wanted the deposit and two nights stay! Even after we told him how much it stinks and is dirty and does not look like the brochure at all! We argued with him for a bit, he said he was calling the cops if we didn't pay deposit and two nights, so we gave it to him. I said sir, it is amazing that we just wasted $300 dollars to check out this horrible place and were not even here for 30 minutes. Oh well. Just please do not stay here! It is terrible!

Great location, we had sound and restful sleeping conditions. Easy acess to restaurants and convience stores. Close to coliseum, fountain de trevi, museums, ancient ruins, glorious history. Old world hotel cleanliness, a pleasure to behold. Airport only a few milles away . We enjoyed our stay, and will return soon hopefully.

Well, to begin, you have to be aware of the first traveling room. Watch for your expectations. If you are looking for luxury and confort it may not be this one. It has a regular room, regular staff, regular meals, and a panthografic elevator for 2 peopel only. if you are traveling with lots of luggages watch out, you have to make in a 5 ways to the room or carry trough the stairs. If you are looking for a budget/location trip, its perfect. It not a "TERRIBLE" hotel like almost everybody are saying in the reviews. They problably got astonished by the pictures and had a desilusion. Its an average hotel. The expectations are the key to have a nice stay. Average rooms, average staff and great prices. Its located near the principal street, and have the most terrifc place to eat pizza ans pasta in rome on the corner, but i forgot its name. It appears in one of the pictures of the hotel in the "tripadvisor hotel pictures". Luxury, dont go there. Budget and Location. Its the right place. Aware the expectations!!!!

The hotel is a two star hotel in the very centre. It is perfect in tems of location if you want to dicscover the most of Rome and Italy. Stazione Termini is just 10 min walk from there. The Central line station Piazza de Republica is just 5 min walk.
You should not expect the luxiary rooms. They are very simple. They are clean, causy and large. The staff is excellent. The employees are always to give you good advice and offer help, very friendly, indeed.
We would consider it if we travel to Rome again.

The hotel was awful, I booked it as a treat for me & my partner, she was soooooo excited. But when we got there she refused to stay any more than 1 night. It was dirty, cramped, the ‘eating area’ was….well just that I wouldn’t call it a ‘breakfast room’. Our room was small the ‘shower’ was rubbish…… need I go on. After 1 night we booked out & spent the rest our stay in Rome in the Hotel Artemide, which was great…..but quite a lot more expensive!!!!
Rome – We loved the city. I could write all day about it, but I’m sure you all know just how lovely & interesting the city is…….& for my partner………… well St Peters & the Vatican was a dream. Lovely would recommend it to any couple.
