We did not enjoy our stay at Hotel Cavour and we found the area surrounding Termini station to be an undesirable and inconvenient place to stay in Rome. Even if you’re used to walking all the time, it is still a good 30+ minute walk to the nearest sites. A better area would be around the Spagna subway station. Aside from the location, the hotel was just not very nice. The hallways smelled terrible and the room didn’t smell very good either and was very hot (in early March). And when we tried to open our window to let the smell/heat out, the stench from the Chinese restaurant in the alley wafted in—so you had to make a calculated decision regarding which smell was worse. There was seemingly zero ventilation in the bathroom, which was probably no larger than a 10-foot closet. The lighting was bad, the walls were painted an odd yellow-y color that made it feel dirty, and the air conditioner/fan did not work. Breakfast was bread and off-brand Nutella and juice. I believe we paid ~$88/night for the room, and it was not worth it—I’m not even sure that we would have stayed there for $50/night.
