I booked a package which included 4 nights at this hotel, which I chose because of the close proximity to the railway station. Imagine my absolute horror when after booking I found the reviews for this Hotel Lazio on this site! We decided not to cancel and went along with a sense of humour and expecting the worst. We were pleasantly surprised - the staff were subdued, but extremely helpful when we needed them to be. The breakfast was not brilliant, but on a par with "continental breakfasts" I have experienced at supposedly better hotels. We also initially thought that the walls in our room looked a little "tired" and in need of a quick end-of-season paint, however in broad daylight we discovered that the paintwork was not in need of a refresh, but had been given an almost too subtle rag-roll pattern! Our mistake. The room we stayed in was actually spotless, with all towels changed daily and bedlinen every second day. It was well-equipped, with the exception of the mini-bar, which was really an empty fridge. However, this suited us very well, as we had plenty of space to chill our bottles of water. We found the hotel to be peaceful at night - perhaps we missed maurauding school children and bed bugs season- who knows? And yes, as promised the hotel really was a 2 minute walk (if that) from Termini - which meant that travel throughout our stay was easy. I fully believe you get what you pay for; this hotel is inexpensive and is perfect if you intend to be out-and-about site-seeing. If you are looking for a different type of break, relaxing in luxurious spacious surroundings, you should probably look at a different type of hotel. We found that this hotel delivered exactly what it promised, so don't be put off by the other reviews -try it yourself first!

Bugs in the beds . . . need I say more? I will though. Rude staff. Horrible smells from the AC when it did work. No TV.

We were there as a part of a soccer tour but left and spent additional money to stay at the Hotel Stromboli around the corner.

Lazio is located well, but there are many other choices in the same area.

I have just stayed in this hotel(if you could call it one) for a school trip, And it was the worst accomodation i have stayed in in my life, and ever will probably. We started off by entering the understaffed hotel, to meet a grumpy receptionest looking annoyed to see us.it took us one hour to finally get all of us in the rooms thanks to the incompetence of the receptionest. I then procceded to my room with my friends expecting a clean bed to lie on after making our long trip to Rome. But we were greeted with a smelly, dirty, termite ridden room. The sheets hadn't been changed in any of the beds, or changed for our whole 4 day trip!

The air conditioning/fridge/t.v didnt work, And most importantly the safe where our valuables were supposed to go had about 5 combos that all could open and close the safe. we asked the hotel manager to see if the safe was broken or not and were not helped at all, If it wasn't for our teacher we would have probably never got assistance at all. turned out the safe had no battery and when i asked if we could replace we were given a piece of paper that explaned hoe to use the safe properly due to the ingnorance of the staff. None of them could speak recognisable english.

We then decided to have a look around the room, the room was freezing so we decided to put on the air conditioning. A smell of burning pertruded from the vents so obviously it wasnt working.

At close examination the scirting boards were all eatin' by termites. Next door to us there were lice all over the sheets and they had to be moved to a third floor room with all the same problems, less lice of course.

Every morning we were woken at six A.M by the clicking of high heels of the staff moving up and down the corridors getting the breakfast ready. It was a collection of cheaply proccesed ham and plastic tasting cheese. The juice just wasnt juice and the coffee was cheap and dull.

Overall i wouldnt recomend this hotel to anybody looking to have a gud time in rome. Even for a school trip. It is just awfull.

The only thing about this haotel i can say is gud is how it looks from the outside. But indide im sure it is in violation of some serious health and safety laws.

I hope you can use this review to help you make the right choice of hotel in rome.

Thank You For Reading.

We have just spent 3 nights at the Lazio. This hotel is awful unless you are a student in a group and you want to run up and down the corridors screaming and shouting all night. The breakfast is terrible - luke warm coffee, stale rolls, cheap cheese and aneamic 'cornflakes'. The room was dirty and the towels were about a hundred years old!! The staff are rude at best and downright ignorant most of the time. The fire points are hanging off the walls and there is apparently some sort of abandoned upgrade programme. We had to ASK for basic needs such as TOILET PAPER twice, and most of the light bulbs in the room had blown!! No tea facilities in room - no radio - no english channel on TV. The walls are paper thin and you can hear everything from adjacent rooms - and I mean EVERYTHING!!! Only good point - it was near the Termini Station and walking distance to all the main tourist things.
