This was a great stay! Most staff were amazing. The only complaint was it was difficult to get food ordered at their garden bar as staff were not out there or would walk by and not check in with the guests sitting there. The one time we did finally request to order the bar manager seemed irritated that we were requesting service. Otherwise the other staff were very friendly and food was just good. The room was small but was clean as was the property.

We only stayed one night when we had to reschedule our train to make our flight out of Rome so not much to contribute beyond that it was really well situated between train station, metro station, and airport, so would recommend to anyone who wants a Rome stay with a lot of transportation convenience! Also we got stuck on a replacement bus when our train got canceled so the 24 hour check in desk and friendly staff really helped, as we unexpectedly didn’t arrive till about midnight.

I loved my weeks stay at the Cross Hotel. The staff was very professional and extremely helpful. Helping with rides to and from airport, directions and rides to great restaurants the best sites and all the touristy things I wanted and needed. The breakfast included was my favorite. There was a great variety of hot food that filled me for most of the day. I traveled solo and recommend this Hotel to anyone headed to Rome. Ps: I forgot to mention the Garden bar and rooftop! So much fun.

Hotel room was very clean, although small the bathroom was very nice, and staff were very kind and helpful with check-in/check-out. Good selection for breakfast, easy to access on the property. The major downside was that the city center and Roma Termini were relatively far for walking and difficult for public transit for people who prefer walking and exploring. Limited options for food in the area, but to be fair it was the end of August during holiday season.

We stayed at the Cross Hotel during a recent visit to Rome, and overall it was a great experience. One of the best things about this hotel is its location, it’s within walking distance to several major sites. In particular, it’s very close to Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, and just a short walk to the stunning Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, which made it easy to explore some of the city’s most beautiful churches on foot. The hotel itself is clean, modern, and comfortable. The staff were helpful, and the rooms were well-maintained and quiet which is a nice retreat after a long day of sightseeing. However, it’s important to mention that the surrounding area can feel a bit dark at night, and there are quite a few homeless people along the way and even directly across the street. While I didn’t have any negative encounters, it’s something to keep in mind, especially if you’re walking back late in the evening. If you’re looking for a hotel with few amenities and convenient access to some of Rome’s historical churches and landmarks, Cross Hotel is a strong choice, just be aware of the local surroundings after dark.
