This hotel is located at an excellent place, right in front of Roma Termini, and just a few steps away from Termini bus station. That was the fact that prompted us to book this hotel. We arrived by 5 PM, which is a bad time for enthusiastic first-timers, as Rome closes by 730 PM.
We were given a room on top floor, which faced a huge old building, having statues of 2 naked children right in front of our window. Sometimes at night, that can be a scary sight by all standards. Regardless of your state of sleep, you will be forced to wake up at 7 by thunderous church bells. Reception staff are OK. We had to sleep all night with windows open, as ventilation wasn't working. When we inquired next morning, we were told that city's municipality had not authuroized switching-on central airconditioning units, as "official summer" had not yet started. That was weird, but we decided to live with it, and with a barrage of ambulances and police cars passing underneath with their horns pumping at fullest all night.
Breakfast was OK, eggs are good. Rooms are very old, with no carpeting at all. Amenities are pre-historic, especially TV, toilets and beds are very old. Toilets were rather creepy, and blankets & bedsheets were burnt with cigarettes. I admit to committing a violation of their policies, by asking for extra towels. Also note that their towels are merely toilet rolls, not the usual fluffy towels we're used to.
Location is great. Roma termini is virtually center of city, and you can find buses going everywhere. Bus network is quite simple to understand. We reached all desired places with great ease. Internet service inside hotel in like an old arcade game, and is very slow.
Overall, a mediocre choice.
