We stayed at this hotel for a week and we had a very good time. The room was spacious and had a little fridge, a solid bed and plenty of outlets for electronic devices. The cleaning happened every day and was very good. We had a problem with our toilet, the seat was broken and they fixed it within a few hours while we were in Rome.
In general a very pleasent experience.
Went there in november 2012 for a quick tour of Italy's capital and we needed a low-cost room to rest after a power tour of 2 full days of sightseeing. We were surprised by the cleanliness of the room and, most of all, the quality of the service.
Sleept for 3 nights there and we had no problem relaxing. In the first night (when we arrived from the airport) the heat was not working in that room, so we used the AC unit with no problem. The hotel service fixed the problem by the next night and there were no problems. The room was cleaned every day by the staff and after a long day of walking, a hot shower was most welcomed.
The guy from the reception told us which restaurants are no expensive and have good food.
I would only mention 1 think not so great : very very small bathroom :)
Fenicia Hotel was just great for a low budget weekend. People from staff was usefull and very friendly. They even helped with a late request! Very close to Termini Station. Nice small beds. Very nice price!
The location, very close to Termini is a major plus point, making it easy to get around. Reception was very helpful, providing directions and travel advice and check in straightforward. Only stayed one night but room on 4th floor was clean and comfortable. Shower is small, but serviceable. The lift is small probably take 2 people with luggage, although we squeezed 3 of us in without luggage! If you only want somewhere to sleep, without the frills of a larger hotel, then this hotel serves that purpose very well.
It is very close to the train station and is easy to find. The room and shower were very very small but despite its size, it offered most of the amenities I needed – fast internet, TV, hair dryer, and even a fridge. The room was in good condition and quite clean although I found hair inside the shower. The clerk was not very particularly welcoming but did his job. This hotel was okay for a short stay but I think I would want a more spacious place if I stayed longer.
First of all, location is great: Termini's the center point of Rome transport network. You'll have everything you need at the station: supermarkets, pharmacies, shops, fast food, etc. Terravision buses from both airports stop just 1-minute walk from the hotel - just on the corner with Via Milazzo.
Fenicia's situated on the 1-2 floors. You'll be given keys from the front door, from the corridor door and from your room. However, reception desk is open 24 hours so they'll open the front door and answer all your question at any time.
By the way, the reception stuff was charming and really helpful: they told us everything about Termini, supermarkets and metro (one line'd been closed when we came to the city) and even printed our boarding passes.
There's a computer in the hall and quick WiFi in every room.
The room is VERY big for a 2-star hotel in Europe. You can literally dance there :) Beds might be small for a big person but for us it was just fine. You can ask for two separate beds if needed; that's not a problem like in many other hotels.
The lift is small but I've seen smaller so I don't think it's really a problem for an average person.
As for the noise: we didn't here our neighbours at all, when they were in their rooms, but sometimes they were a bit too loud when going out or in the corridor. Our room on the second floor faced the street; but it's very quite. Dump trucks are loud and windows don't help with the noise, but the latest hour we heard them was about 10 p.m.
The bathroom was very good and comfortable, although there wasn't any lock.
The room is cleaned every day.
Overall, I can't really think of anything I could complain about. And the price is almost unbelieveable! I'll definitely stay in Hotel Fenicia again.
