I booked this hotel via hotelconnect, struggled to get a hotel in Rome for our usual weekend away budget of £70 a night, this cam to a little over and I was apprehensive as Termini is not know as the safest of areas.

However, once you walk from the station to the hotel you never need to walk around that area again. Every morning we walked up the little street and turned left towards the Collesseum and then turned right up Marconi (this tube is closed) and walked to another tube or to the sights.

Even on a night we felt safe walkign back, or we hailed a cab at 2am from the Piazza Navaro area back, which was only 10 euro's.

We walekd to the Trevi and the Spanish Steps from the hotel, everywhere apart from the Vatican is walking distance but we did cover 33 miles in the 3.5 days ( I wore a pedometer).

The actual hotel has 10 rooms, outs was on the top floor, good air conditioning that worked within 5 minutes, the room is basic and small, the toilet has a sliding door to save room and you have to slide under the sink to get to the loo but apart from that it was perfect for what is basically somewhere to crash.

Breakfast is in the basement so do take everything with you for the day otherwise you have 4 flights to get back to your room for those sunglasses.

Would stay there again if I was to return to Rome.

It's not the first time I was looking for a recommendation on the hotel at Tripadvisor and just like all other times it helped me a lot. Hotel Espana is exactly what candid travelers told about it. It is a very decent hotel with nice attractive small rooms with more than attractive prices.

First of all, the location. The hotel is not the closest to the central railway station. Since we only had one bag we decided to walk and it took us about 15 minutes. Hotel is also located 15 minutes walk from most sights as well as about 300 meters from the nearest Metro station which was however closed at that time. The hotel is located on a rather quiet street so no noise outside comes into the rooms at any time.

Facilities. We had a double room, which was rather small but very cute. It says that the hotel was modernized two years ago and it's true, although it looks like it was modernized just a month ago. Every room is equipped with aircondition which was very helpful as temperature in June was at 35C.

For the price of 70EUR per night (for both of us) we also got breakfast, which was nothing special but just OK. There is a grocery shop in the neighborhood just around the corner so we also bough fruits, vine and cheese and had small diners when coming back from long walks.

Among the cons I can only mention that aircondition dropped. But this was a very minor things compare to all the pros.

Knowing prices in Rome and traveling quite a lot in Europe I call hotel Espana a very decent place to stay for up to a week and I would definitely recommend it to friends and stay there myself again next time I am in Rome.

This was just the perfect hotel for us. Though the rooms were quite small, we had luxurious bathroom and we even had a balcony! The rooms are very tidy and cleaned every day.
The location might not be perfect, but it's ok, near the termini (15 min. walk) and colosseum (15 min. walk). Of course you can also take the metro, which is very nearby indeed. The neighbourhood is not criminal or dangerous at all. So don't worry about your safety! The street is quiet, so you won't hear any noise at night.
Breakfast is also really nice, with croissants and all.
The staff is very friendly and helpfull.
We really enjoyed our stay very much!

This hotel is ideal if your looking for somewhere reasonably priced, we stayed in a triple room which was spotlessly clean, so no complaints there. It is a bit far from the major attractions but saying that the metro system is excellent and cheap, so use that to get about. The staff were none too friendly, the breakfasts were the same every morning and after five mornings it got a bit boring having the same thing every day, you help yourself to whatever you want though. But still good value all over all.
