mixed feelings about my stay.

small room boring breakfast

The room felt smaller than advertised. My suitcase barely fit! also, i didn't find the breakfast particularly appealing. i mean, there was food, but it lacked any real flavor. It was just fuel.

helpful staff convenient location

The location was superb. Termini station was very close. santa maria maggiore basilica sat just next door. I even attended mass there one day. the staff was very kind, and helpful, especially roberta and ludovica. being able to have coffee, tea, or water anytime was a bonus, too.

The bed was very small. i am not particularly tall. half my legs hung off it.

really good stay near termini

easy access 24 hour bar helpful staff super clean cleanliness

the location provided easy access from termini station, a notable convenience. i found the 24-hour coffee, tea, and water bar a nice touch. the staff was exceedingly helpful and always available. the super clean cleanliness throughout the hotel stood out immediately to me.

The external signage definitely needs improvement. I found it somewhat difficult to locate the building initially.

excellent services, handy location

good breakfast large bed convenient location

the hotel offered good breakfast with much selection and a nice breakfast room. the room included a large bed and a table with chairs. i found the location convenient because the train station was seven minutes away. i also used a nearer station called cavour, only five minutes away.

i note the signage for the hotel could improve because i had trouble finding it. the building included other units, so finding the fourth-floor reception was confusing.

Facilities

the hotel offers a lift because it locates on the fourth floor. i found a coffee machine and a water dispenser with sparkling and still options. tea bags and sugar were also available.

Dining

breakfast included a good selection and i enjoyed the variety. the breakfast room locates near the bedrooms and it had good lighting. milk was available when i asked, so i could make tea.

Location

the train station was easy to reach and takes only seven minutes by walking. i also could reach the colosseum after ten minutes by walking. the basilica of santa maria maggiore was only two minutes away.
