The hotel was a little hard to find coming directly from the airport but once we found it, overnight street parking was convenient and safe. Staff were so pleasant and helpful. The patio area out back was perfect to decompress after walking all day. Breakfast was nice and everything we had was fresh and tasty. Highly recommend this hotel.

We were a bit concerned with the negative reviews before we went. The rooms are basic but clean and cleaned every day. Breakfast is what you would expect in any hotel in Italy. The staff were helpful and accommodating to requests for additional tea and coffee in the garden area. There is graffiti on the walls in the street but you see that all over Rome. The hotel was close to a supermarket and dining options and a couple of blocks from the metro.

Great rooms and outside area for breakfast. A little far from the city center, maybe 20 min walk to the Colosseum. The service was also great, but a tad confusing. One man claimed the hotel didn’t offer transportation to/ from the airport and hotel, but another man was able to book my party a shuttle from the hotel to the airport for only €15 per person. Nonetheless, they do accommodate, the employees just need to communicate a bit more

ADEQUATE FOR SHORT STAY\n

Nice hotel The room was okay for a short stay due to its smallness.
The breakfast was again okay though again the room was small but it was never overcrowded.
We were able to get hot drinks up until 2000 hrs. from a machine in the breakfast room.
The travel was by Tram 5 or 14 from The Rome Termini takes only 4 minutes.
The connection for travel around Rome was a 5 minutes walk to the Metro at Manzoni. The Metro gets very crowded .

Good location, and very friendly staff.
But rooms were small, breakfast had very limited choices and was very cramped, often area was too small for the number of guests, the deco was dated, there was no glassware when we asked for glasses in the evening was given plastic cups.
Every morning we found the showers didn't provide enough hot water, it was bearable but water would get cool during shower, so wasn't enjoyable.

Most definitely NOT a 4* hotel!! I would rate it 2-3*. I would only recommend if getting a very cheap deal or price is comparable to other 2-3* accommodation.

Comfortable hotel and very good location

This is a great little hotel just outside the main historic centre but within easy walking distance of all. The Coliseum is the closest and takes about 20 minutes to get there, 10 minutes to the nearest Metro station (very easy to navigate) and several nice local restaurants with good food. The staff in the hotel are friendly and helpful, rooms clean and comfortable, good shower and plenty of hot water. Breakfast is good, all buffet self service but did lack fresh fruit. Other than that all good and would highly recommend.

Only complaint would be that the bath didn't drain well at all when having a shower - mentioned to them a few times and they stated it was ok.( which it wasn't)

A Fair Hotel - you get what you paid for

Room: I stayed in two different rooms in the hotel:

- do NOT let them put you in a room on the bottom floor facing the street. This is the room I INITIALLY got. The air conditioning wasn't working properly and the Tram is very loud. Couldn't get any sleep at all. It was like sleeping next to a runway.
- The shower has a very unusual set up... instead of a shower curtain, they have a glass barrier/door that only extends HALF the length of the tub. You have to be very careful in order for water not to get all over the floor.
- the mini safe they provided was also labelled as \"out of order\"....

After complaining about these things, the concierge allowed me to switch to a room on the third floor, facing AWAY from the street.
- air conditioning was awesome, shower was cramped but adequate. No real complaints.

Common areas:
- the hotel is very small. The breakfast is very minimal ( cereal, bread, deli meats, juice, coffee). The dining room is very cramped.
- nice dining area in back.

Location:
Pros:
- less than 10 min walk from the closest metro station. Less than 5 min walk to a convenient tram stop.
- you can get pretty much anywhere you want to visit in Rome in less than 30 minutes from here.
- a couple of restaurants, a super market, a gelato place and plenty of convenience stores within 10 minute walk west.
Cons:
- hotel is located facing a busy road with a tram line on it (VERY LOUD if your room faces the street).
- the area just north of the hotel is pretty sketchy

We arrived to a warm welcome! Had a room 401 which was nice! But no hot water for most of the day! As all I wanted was a warm shower before I set off to see beautiful Rome! But had to have when we got back in the evening!
Breakfast is continental love the rolls! But gets a bit boring after 4 mornings of exactly the same!
I will say it's quite far out! On the first night of coming home I felt unnerved walking back to the hotel! But then got to know area was ok & felt safe!

Helpful staff. Clean room, if a little on the small size. Terrace is nice out the back for smoking and breakfast. But full of mosquitos though, maybe as it was very hot while we were there. Good for a short stay sightseeing in Rome. Theres a supermarket at the top of the road. We ate in a nice little restaurant very near by on the 1st night, recommended by the hotel. Metro is a 15 minute walk away, easy and quick to get around. The staff helped us by checking our bus back to the airport was all arranged and let us leave our suitcases there on our last day as we weren't flying till the evening.

The hotel feels more like a bed-and-breakfast than a 4+star hotel but it is comfortable, clean, with good air-con; and the staff are courteous and helpful.

Rooms are quite dark and there isn't a lot of space, but they are comfortable and clean.

The breakfast area is a little cramped but there is a patio which you can use which is very pleasant on a nice day. There are also some good small restaurants nearby and excellent transport links (tram, metro, bus and train). The airport shuttle buses drop-off and pick-up about a mile away at Termini station (two stops on the metro, 10-min tram ride).

I would stay here again if I was visiting Rome.

From the outside this hotel doesn't look great. Inside you will find a well kept small hotel with great staff. The hotel is older but well kept with marble throughout. The rooms are not huge but are spacious enough. It's clean and the staff are great. We were even luckily enough to be able to check in at 11am instead of 2pm.
Breakfast is simple and the area could be bigger but it does the trick. It's a bit of a walk from the train station with luggage given the narrow sidewalks (about 15-20). It is super close to the subway which makes getting around really easy!!!

The only thing I will say about this hotel is that a \"deluxe\" is extremely small, I am happy that I got one because I would hate to see how small a standard room was, although I have been to Europe many times I'm used to how small the rooms are.

Comfortable hotel and an excellent base

The hotel was a very good base for exploring Rome, sufficiently removed from the noise and cost of the busy centre, but close enough to walk to the Colosseum (15 mins) or access the nearby metro/bus stops and several very good small restaurants. Reception and room staff were excellent and a room change request after problems with the shower were readily organised (breakfast staff perhaps less friendly for some reason). The patio was available for breakfast and drinks and was very clean, well kept and a nice spot to relax after a busy day seeing the sights.

2 STAR HOTEL WITH MINIBAR

Booked this thinking that as a 4 star hotel it would have some standards. Sadly not. Room was tiny and bathroom had no tub despite our informing hotel at booking and subsequently we had a 14 month old infant. Could barely move around room. Hard, old mattress and one small pillow per person. Loos and leaky appliances in bathrooms; generally old and tired looking; bedspreads made from same cheap poly fabric as the curtains.

To be fair to them they did provide a travel cot which they allowed us to use outside the hotel on one occasion. Also staff are friendly and helpful to the best of their ability. They moved us to a larger room with a bathtub on the second night. And free breakfast is generous if not of the highest quality.

All in all a big disappointment and a classic example of a hotel that ticks the boxes to get its star rating whilst the quality and amenities are 2 star at best

E., only 10 minute walk to the Collosseo, 5 minute walk to Piazza dei Cinquecento and Termini train station and 2 minute walk to the nearest Metro (subway) station, through which you can go to almost anywhere in the city, including Vatican City (you can still walk if you want, but it would take you like 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Rooms are very comfortable, neat and clean. Facilities are well adapted to modern standards and ther is free wi fi in the rooms, even though signal's strenght is highest in the lobby.

Breakfast included and ok.

Staff very nice and helpful. All in all, worth the money and perfect for tourists who don't want to overpay.

Traffic noise was too much. Couldn't sleep. They serve basic breakfast probable because they don't have kitchen facility.

Not impressive hotel

Bed, bathroom, dining room, elevator are very small. Hallway is small and narrow. Thin wall between room isn't noise reduction. There was a big high school group (~20-30 teens) at that time during my stayed. They were loud and crowded in the breakfast room.

I am Asian- American. I felt claustrophobic
Bathroom is as small as the bathroom in the airplane. You can't bend down to clean your legs at all.

This is not the hotel for Caucasian travelers at all. Not even if you are Asian size. Everything is too tiny for the price you pay. They made me open 3 rooms for 5 parties. They won't allow me to open 2 rooms.... just to make more Euro and the room space is very limited....unable to add extra bed.!

Nice hotel close to main station

An enjoyable 5 day break to Rome. Weather was pleasant allowing us to enjoy our tours of the main points of interest such as the Vatican, Sistene chapel, Colosseum, Spanish Steps and zoo.
People very friendly and cooperative. Far too many souvenir sellers near the points of interest.

Rome trip

In a not so good neighborhood but close to public transportation which is a plus. Breakfast serve is very good. The room is clean and new. The staff should smile more and should make their guests feel at home. They should talk to their guests more.They seem lack hospitality. The people outside are more hospitable and cheerful.

Small price, small room!

Smallest room we have ever stayed in! Décor was nice, comfortable beds but could barely walk around the bed!
Breakfast basically only tinned fruit and dry pastries and dining area so small and poky, you had to wait until someone left to physically get up from the table.

Nice hotel

The hotel itself was very nice, it was clean, the staff were friendly and the rooms were a good size for a couple. Hotel itself didnt have much you could do but obviously you are in rome so the time spent in a hotel is quite small. Hotel is 5 mins away from a metro station from which you can get just about anywhere in the city.

Very bad hotel

When i got into my room, there were pubic hairs in the toilet and bed! House keeping went up and started screaming at me and saying that se was not loosing get Job because of me. I had to pay an extra room for them to change me and since they were angry, the receptionist was rude and said to me \" now, what do u want? Because the housekeeping Spoke to him and he told me that she has worked there for 5 years and that they know how she works\" there is no place to put soap and shampoo in the shower, have to put it on the floor, bed was horrible and Room was hot!! Expedia sells it as a four star and i had to pay dou le the price for that 2-3 star hotel

The staff where very friendly and always ready to help and answer questions and give suggestions. The room even though small was comfortable and really loved the fact that we could open the window. The bathroom had everything that was needed. The shower was a bit small and suited to younger people. The hotel was very close to all transport, train, tram, buses. 10 min. walk to these. Even though breakfast was not a hot breakfast it was very nice. We found it was sufficient, fresh daily and tasty. We really enjoyed our stay here at Best Roma and would come back.

Handy for transport to all sites.

Handy for transport to all areas, Manzoni Metro station within 5 minutes, bus stop and trams outside front door, good local amenities,(supermarket, restaurants).
Compact rooms, (we had a superior room for 3, room for 2 would be perfect)
Friendly knowledgeable staff.
3 day pass on all transport costs $16.50, great value

Great hotel for sightseers

The hotel is in a good location - 15 minute walk to the colosseum! When we checked in the receptionist was really friendly. He gave us a map of Rome and circled sights he recommended we go see on it along with useful bus/train info. We would never have seen so many beautiful sights if it hadn't been for him! Will be recommending this hotel to friends for sure!
