This hotel is grossly misrepresented by its website. While there IS a nice outdoor balcony with free wifi, that is about the only redeeming feature. I stayed there for one night in July 2008 and the heat was absolutely unbearable (there is no air conditioning). I requested a fan and was never brought one. My room stank like a sewer (there was a bidet actually IN the shower). I opened the window to get some air and was kept up the entire night by a group of people who congregated directly under the window. I was supposed to stay for 3 nights but left after one. Despite what the Felice website says about a one night penalty for a late cancellation, they charged me for the entire 3 nights. Terrible service. I also felt like the walk from Termini was pretty desolate and as a woman travelling alone, I did not feel safe (I am an experienced traveller, am often on my own, and know the good areas from the bad). You can get a much better deal for the same price elsewhere in Rome. The Felice is a complete ripoff. There are other hotels in Rome that are the same price and offer much much more (air conditioning, closer to Termini etc.). For what they offer, the Felice should be charging at least 30-40% less. Oh, and the front of the hotel was covered in graffiti when I got there. nice. I should have never gone in.

Visited Felice Hotel last march with my boyfriend. Simple and charming hotel, clean and cosy room. Had no problems at all, and was pleased with our choice! Only drawbacks that is is a bit out of town and takes a while to get to the subway, maybe a 15-20 min walk. There is a few nice restaurants close by. I would recommened if you dont want to spend a fortune when in rome! and dont mind walking to the subway, which is a little far, especially if youre lazy like me!

I would like to share with who could be interested, my personal opinion about Hotel Felice which surprised me for the very good ratio quality/price.

I planned to be in Rome during the second week of January (four days in total) to attend the graduation of a friend of mine at La Sapienza University; this was the main reason of my choice towards Hotel Felice (that is very closed to the University).

Honestly, the hotel is not the best I’ve ever been in my life, but what surprised me was the general environment of the structure:
my room were very clean, the reception desk (but at the end all the staff) was very kind to point out the best way to have a look of the city and advised me on the shortest way to reach my destinations.

Outside, as I’ve mentioned before, the hotel is placed very closed to Uniservity and obviously into an area frequented by students; so I found a lot of pubs, wine bars and restaurants (there’s a good choice of places to spend the spare time).

This is the reason why I would recommend this hotel to a range of people from 20 to 50 years old (there’s some noise from outside during week-end!!).

I’ve not used them but I saw that there’s wi-fi connectivity (toll-free service) and also the hotel can arrange some touristic tour into the city.

I hope that my opinion could be helpful for you

Have fun!!!

This hotel is situated in the San Lorenzo region of Rome on the famous Via Tiburtina. The area is a working class district and is lively, charming and a little run down. There is a university nearby so there is a high concentration of students. The stazione Termini is within walking distance (10-15 mins along the Aurelian Walls) or there is a bus route which stops outside the hotel.
The hotel itself was ok, the room was large and could have done with a lick of paint and the bathroom was small. The hotel staff were friendly. A hotel like this is useful for resting and sleeping before spending most of the day in Rome. You wouldn't want to laze around in your hotel room. There was a lovely cafe nearby where breakfast is free if you stay here as well as a nice gelataria and a few trattorias. Most of all it was useful being close to the main bus and train terminal.
