In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Location is the main reason to book — The hotel is close to Roma Termini, the metro, buses, restaurants and bars, while sitting on a quiet street. It is about 0.7 km from Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, and guests mention Esquiline Hill within walking distance.
- Rooms score well on comfort and condition — Guests rate comfort 10/10 and rooms 8.2/10, with several reviews mentioning very clean bathrooms, crisp bedding and well-kept spaces.
- Staff make a strong impression — Guests call the team friendly and helpful, and the night-shift receptionist is singled out for clear communication and good English.
- Good value for a simple stay — Several guests describe the hotel as reasonable for the money paid, and one calls it a good budget hotel for discovering Rome.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Air conditioning can add a daily charge — One guest reported a €15 (about $21) daily fee for air conditioning and said it was the only such charge among the 15 Italian hotels they stayed at on the same trip. Summer travellers should confirm the policy before booking.
- Breakfast is simple and served in-room — The hotel is too small for a breakfast room, so trays are brought to the room. One guest described the spread as basic — a croissant, rusks, juice and coffee — while another found breakfast good.
- Some rooms are compact — One guest found their double small, though in good condition. The room list goes from a Private Bathroom Single Room up to Large Double, Large Triple and Two-Bedroom Apartment categories, so size varies.
- Check-in window ends at 23:59 — Standard check-in runs from 12:00 to 23:59 and check-out is by 11:00. Very late arrivals should be arranged with the 24-hour reception in advance.

7.9Verified guest“My room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the location worked well.”
7.9Verified guest“The location suited bar and restaurant hopping really well.”
7.9Verified guest“No complaints at all — I can only recommend it. The hotel was clean, the location was lovely, and Esquiline Hill was a short walk away. The airport, for reference, is about 20 km from the hotel.”
7.9Verified guest“Good value for what we paid, and the people running the hotel were great. We stayed seven days without a single problem. Breakfast was good and the room was always tidied. We had a fine time in Rome, and this hotel was part of the reason. I'd recommend it to younger travellers who aren't after luxury.”
7.9Verified guest“A pleasant little hotel in a quiet area, close to the main train station, plenty of bus stops and many of Rome's sights, with excellent pizzerias nearby for dinner. It's central and Rome's Termini station is an easy walk.”
7.9Verified guest“I loved the tapas and found some great places close by, including Restaurante Mi Tierra, just a short hop away. The team was lovely and full of recommendations, and I felt completely at home in my cosy Large Double Room. I couldn't have asked for a better three days in Rome.”
