I think that the hotel must have been improved since these reviews as this hotel was more then satisfactory. Cheap and in a brilliant location. Room had what you needed considering your in Rome so shouldnt really be spending too much time stuck in your hotel room! Was clean, hot shower, staff were friendly and in a brilliant location near to termini station! We will defintly be using this place again :)

We booked through a local travel agent, but this place is totally appalling. In short, it stank, was noisy, furniture was broken, but most of all, it was unsafe. The bricks around the door frame were loose - it had obviously been broken in to before. There's no air conditioning of any description, but we dared not open the windows due to security issues.
The lobby area is shared with another 'hotel' located on other floors of the building and featured some suspicious characters.
The shower (calling it a "shower" is being nice) was a serious of undirected single spurts of water coming out at different directions!

Needless to say, we couldn't sleep that night and left the next morning. We called our travel agent to tell them about this appalling experience and they (the agent) gave us a refund for the second night - I'm not sure if the hotel would have given the agent a refund, but somehow I doubt it.

For the same price (130 euro) we moved to a much better place called Hotel Aberdeen, which was nearby (also close to Termini station).

There were 4 of us staying in the room. We were at the front of the hotel with NO AIR CONDITIONING on a street where apparently no one sleeps, ever. There were cable cars going by and vespas at all hours. It was impossible to sleep. We requested to be moved to a room at the back of the hotel which was infinitely quieter. It was still a dive. The bathroom was tiny and the "shower curtain" was more trouble than help. The bathroom floor flooded. I had read other reviews before I left (unfortunately too late to change my hotel) and had brought towels from home which were a lifesaver. You had to be in by 1 am or they would lock you out of the hotel. Breakfast was a joke of hard rolls and coffee. If you want any kind of concierge service whatsoever, do not stay there. Basically do not stay there unless you are looking for a hostel because essentially, that is what it is.

terrible experience in that dirty thing
i am really surprised how this thing is called hotel
extremely dirty rooms
no tv
no air condition
the towels were pieces of bed sheet
toilets not cleaned
most of the rooms are located on a very very noisy street and as you can understand during night we could not close our eyes........
gosh, it was completely unacceptable........terrible terrible..........be aware of the photos you see on the websites...........the rooms are not that fancy.......watch out guys out there.......terrible
pay a little more and get what you deserve for yourselves............the place you live on your vacation is something that will follow you when you think of a place you visit.............unfortunately for me and my friends we talk about the terrific roma and we get nervous when we think of this damned staying at this thing.............
