This is a really clean, beautiful boutique hotel in a secure, charming building on a somewhat busy street near Termini railway station.

The walls in the lobby are painted with a hand painted mural, and there is a pretty bird cage in the corner by a window that has an expansive view of the neighborhood. The ambiance is very soothing. The staff was very helpful; they will loan you a laptop if you want to check your email in your room.

The room that I stayed in was small, but it had a pretty terrace and a very clean, modern bathroom. The location is okay if you want to stay near Termini, but it's a bit of a walk to the Spanish Steps and many of the other "Old Rome" sights, especially if you're coming home alone late at night on foot. I will be returning to Rome again this year, but will not stay at this hotel primarily because of the location, although also since I think it is a tad expensive for a single traveler.

The Hotel is a piece of artwork. Lovely decor, immaculately clean, beautiful breakfast room. I enjoyed staying there and appreciated the beauty of this hotel.

My 17 year old Daughter and I have just returned from a 5 night stay at the Lillium Hotel in Rome and we are delighted with our stay. The staff are excellent. Always on hand and ready to help in every way possible - including offering to prepare a simple supper for my daughter when she fell ill. The room was perfect. Nicely decorated and spacious with a lovely balcony. Both the air con and ceiling fan kept us perfectly cool in the heat. The bathroom was small but perfectly adequate and appointed with quality appliances. The reception area and breakfast room were havens of tranquillity after a hot day on the streets of Rome. I was given several excellent suggestions for restaurants and used the hotel laptop to secure my own arrangements for a day trip. (My daughter used the laptop to watch English language shows in bed !) On our last day, we were encouraged to use the shower before heading home - an excellent end to a great trip. Well done Lillium!

This was our first visit to Rome, and the Lilium turned out to be a great place to stay. The Lilium is a lovely botique hotel near the Porta Pia and Termini train station. My wife simply loved the place.

Staff:
The staff is exceptional. They gave great recommendations for places to eat, tours, and transportation. Everyone was friendly, courteous, and most importanlty, very helpful. My wife and I can not speak Italian, but English was not problem for the staff.

Ammenities:
This is a small botique hotel, so it does not have the services of a huge international chain. Room 35 is on the corner of the building on the quiet street side and only has one neighbor. We didn't have any noise problems at all and we enjoyed the balcony with table/chairs and ample flowers. Not all rooms have a balcony.

The room was on the small side, but was tastefully appointed and spotlessly clean. The bed was very conformtable. There was a remote control air conditioning unit that was very powerful and very quiet (best I've seen). We are very picky about room temperature and we had complete control.

The electronicly controlled window blinds could darken the room completely at any time of day.

A very pleasant and highly unusual surprise was the availability of loaner laptops for internet access. I've stayed at scores of hotels and have never seen this done before.

Breakfast:
Breakfast was included and was quite pleasant. The fare included fresh squeezed orange juice - they squeeze the oranges on the spot. It was a nice continental style meal - nothing cooked or hot other than the fresh (and hot) coffee.

Location:
We arrived by train at Roma Termini and were able to walk to the hotel in about 10 minutes with our bags. The hotel is not clearly marked, but if you have a map and the address you will find it. There is a buzz in panel where you press a button to get the door (a HUGE wooden door) opened.

The bus access was excellent. The 62 bus will take you right to St. Peter's. Like other reviewers, we took a walk to the Spanish Steps during the evening. In the blazing July sun, the air conditioned bus worked just fine for us.

Security:
We felt safe and secure at all times, both inside and out.

Summary:
The Lilium was a very pleasant and sweet place to stay - I would recommend this hotel to friends and family, and I would not hesitate to stay there again.
