I spent three days with my partner in Rome. The main reason was to attend the graduation of a friend of mine at the University of Rome La Sapienza but obviously, we took the chance to visit the city. Therefore the choice of this hotel was perfect: it is very close to the campus and walking distance to subway, bus and tram stops. The area around the hotel is also plenty of pubs and restaurants. The hotel is especially indicated for who looks for a very good place to stay at a very reasonable price.

As a teacher-guide, I've planned a school trip with a class of the liceum I work for. After an accurate search in the Internet, I've booked five triple-rooms for the students and a single room for me at the Hotel Felice.
As regards the location I've chosen that hotel for its position in the city: Felice's is in fact placed nearby Termini, the most important railway station of Rome and because of its position the hotel is really well linked to every important place of the city by buses, trams and tube.
Before the trip I've had already planned the trip day by day with visits to monuments, the ancient ruins, St.Peter and museums. By the way I have to say a HUGE thank to the hotel staff: at the reception they have suggested me some integration to our visits such as the ruins in the ancient Appia (a glorious ancient street built under Roman Enpire) or the visit to Gianicolo (one of the famous hill of Rome by which there is an incredible view of Rome). Without these suggestions me and my students would have lost these wonderful places.
I has really appricieted the hotel staff suggestions: they had been really kind, and not only as regards our trip. Being in fact the teacher of 15 young students I was quite worried for the behaviour of the guys: thanks God the staff of the hotel has been really patient with them, even if some students have done some mess during the night.
As regards the hotel, the rooms are well done and clean. The Wi-Fi internet connection in the hotel is really useful because its free (no additional charge) and so the students have had the possibility to be in touch with their familiar using internet too. If I had to suggest an hotel in Rome to other teachers I would say for sure Hotel Felice. Really good ,kind and patient staff and a really good linked nice place. For the next year school trip I will book for sure in that hotel.

Having read all the reviews on Trip Advisor (as I always do for all the hotels I stay in) I didn't have high expectations and was kept a very open mind and was trying to very realistic given the price I paid (135 Euros for 2 nights in a double room with shared bathroom).

I definitely don't expect to go to another country and have everyone speak English so I didn't mind the communication barrier. However, I must admit for the Rome hospitality industry the staff definitely didn't speak a lot of English.

Rooms: I booked the double room with shared bathroom. I thought the bathroom would be shared amongst 2-4 rooms. Upon arrival my boyfriend and I discovered it is 2 washrooms (located on one end of the hallway) amongst the whole floor. There were approximately 10 rooms on the floor and unfortunately we were in a room at the opposite end of where the washrooms were. My impression is this was definitely more like a hostel rather than a hotel (and I have stayed in both before).

Location: I read the reviews that the walk to Termini station was far however I thought that was subjective based on how fast an individual walks. Now that I've experienced it I will confirm the walk is about 10 minutes (depending on the route you take) one is on Via Marsala (the longer route but you will get to walk on sidewalks and not through a tunnel) the other is Via Giolotti (through a tunnel and past some tracks).

I would definitely say this hotel is more like a hostel. There actually seemed to be quite a few backpackers that stayed there. I wouldn't recommend staying more than 2 nights at this "hotel". Hostel Felice served it's purpose for a place to lay our heads but next time I'm going to opt to pay extra for a private bathroom or just book a hostel if I'm on a budget.

Regarding Hotel Felice, I can say that my family and myself passed a very good time there; we staied for 5 days in total to spend our holydays.

What I can say is that I found a nice place and enviroment: room were clean and even if we used the common toilet on the first day, the bathroom were in good conditions.
Regarding the staff, we've spoken to them not very much (we spent all the day out) but they gave us all the good suggestions to visit Rome taking care about the needs of the childrens (e.g. they suggested us a place instead of another)

About services we booked two different group visits (I reccommend the one about Villa d'Este, it's good for the childrens and to take wonderfull photographs); also i would like to advise the chance to use wi-fi connectivity as toll-free service (I've checked my office mail during the holydays).

I hope this review can help the other travellers

Best regards and Have fun!!!
