Worse!
The most worse hotel in my experience. After 14 hours flight, they send us another building after check in. It wasn't hotel. Just dark regular apartment. I have to use 4 keys to enter the room. No front desk. No USB charger. We stay 4 nights but they never clean room and bed. Every night when we went to bed, all body is very itch. I don't think they don't wash blanket. Also they asked me to pay tax fee by cash so I paid it when I checked in. then send me message to come front desk which is another building to pay extra tax fee in last day. My flight was 10am and front desk open at 7.30am. I went to there at 7.30am but front desk wasn't oepn. I almost missed flight to back home. I don't recommend this place if you want to stay comfortable.

The hotel is in a great location, just a short walk from the Roma Termini station which was very convenient when arriving from the airport and getting around via the metro or bus. There also were a number of restaurants and a supermarket close by. The front desk was courteous and helpful from check in and out to explaining places of interest and how to get around. I was able to check in early as there was a room available in the morning. My room was a classic single room in the annex building which was a block away. It was clean, comfortable, modern, and a good size given the location. The room was also cleaned daily which was fantastic. Thanks to the staff for accommodating my early check out so my luggage could be left in the room (reception was closed at the time) to be picked up in the afternoon at reception. This was an excellent stay!

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL!!! The most uncomfortable beds that can e er imagine. They are toddler size and only a sheet for bedding. You have to climb three flights of stairs to get to registration desk only to get to an office with no air conditioning. Then were taken to another building with no elevator. We were given 4 keys to get into the building and into out room. Do yourself a favor, do not stay at this hotel.

Near main train station

As a Singaporean, first time to check in to this type of hotel. Anyway the room is clean and good enough for rest and sleep.
Hotel is very near to the main train station and subways, so I think this is the main reason to book this hotel.
And the whole area has plenty of this type of hotel - very plain with no other amenities or luxury.

The location was convenient to the termini and there was a grocery store across the street. I walked a lot and found it very doable but I also took advantage of the metro just down the street. Would definitely stay here again if I ever get to come back to Rome.

The place is charming. It isn't the ideal location period literally looks at the train station and it's convenient to grocery store shops. I mean, of course, the train station is full of shops. Is like a shopping mall. So everything designer and good restaurants are right there. And the people that.
Run, the place are fabulous.They're so nice and so caring.And so understanding and so polite.I love that just genuinely humbling kind people. I loved it.The place is not fancy But it's perfect.It's very homey , it feels like a place you could stay for A long time and it feels very nostalgic.

This hotel served me well. Rooms are small but fine for the price. The location did not feel as bad to me as others say. There are now more police and security there than homeless people. Still, visitors will spend most of the time away from the area and the buses and metro make the rest of Rome accessible. Service was friendly and the no problems.

We were in Rome really in transit to other places in Italy, looking for a place convenient to the railroad, not really for the highlights of Rome. This place is incredibly convenient to the Termini, literally across the street. What we hadn;t fully appreciate was how easily from this spot we could get to anywhere in Rome. The taxi stand is right there, as is the Hop on/off bus, the regular bus, and the Metro. We knew this was not a destination place for food, but the desk at Ciao told us about a great Roman style restaurant in the are very popular with the locals. La Familia was so good and authentic we ate there twice (only Americans in the place, all locals otherwise) . What can I say - the staff were great, warm and friendly. Nothing fancy, but a good clean room, relatively quiet considering the location, and way better than we were expecting. We'll stay here again. Not for everyone, no restaurant, gym, pool etc. but perfect for our needs.

This hotel was amazing! Highly recommend! It has a good location next to Termini station, making getting to and from the airport easy as we did not need to lug our suitcases around Rome. Rooms come with a fridge and safe which are included in the brilliant booking. Air con was marvellous, especially coming in from walking around all day! The hotel staff were wonderful and so friendly, helped us with key information about Rome and gave us recommendations. Could not recommend it anymore.

Our vouchers for a traditional Italian breakfast were very much appreciated and the dinner recommendations and reservations were excellent! The property may only be one star - but the staff are five stars for sure!!! Would definitely recommend for the budget conscious traveler.

The beds were comfortable and the location is convenient.

It is not the fault of the place that the Italian government is so inept they can't manage trash and homelessness near the train station. The area is FILTHY, garbage and human waste all over the streets. There are homeless people screaming outside the building almost all day and all night long.

Hotel Ciao is centrally located near the train station which is why I booked it. Looking at the photos of the rooms online did not match the room I received, which was very outdated and in need of repairs. The room I stayed in was the \"triple\" room. The bathroom shower did not drain so I had to turn off the water every 30 seconds and wait a few min before turning it back on. The shower curtain nearly touched the toilet, so you can visualize how small the bathroom was. Pretty inconvenient, as the floor was wet where one would put their feet to use the toilet. The staff members were nice and provided a voucher for a croissant and coffee at a nearby coffee shop which was appreciated. And they were flexible with check-out to be between 10 and 11AM which also was nice as it allowed for more time to explore. PROS: nice staff, good location, cafe voucher, clean room. CONS: outdated rooms, expensive for 1-star hotel ($200 CAD), issues with bathroom. Overall, I think you can find a better hotel for a similar price.

Just ok

Pros:

- very friendly staff running the hotel and also very helpful
- location is central and walking distance to Rome city Centre
- ensuite bathroom
- close to termini - for those who have early morning trains

Cons:

- I was told location can be dangerous as too many pickpockets and homeless people around termini. I never encountered any problems though
- room is tiny and a bit claustrophobic
- bathroom shower area is very tiny and no place to keep your soap/shampoo, etc
- toiletries = 1 packet of shower gel
- there is no sign of hotel ciao at all. So if you hadn’t read the reviews and didnt know that you need to register at hote luciani, you will never find hotel ciao
- what they didn’t tell you - hotel Luciani is on the first floor and there is no lift. So if you are a solo traveler, you will have to haul your bags up to check in. Not a big deal for me, but may be for many.

Overall:
- very basic rooms, cannot be considered a hotel. Not really cheap considered what you are getting but then again, Rome ain’t cheap! :)
