A really enjoyable stay. The location strikes the perfect balance - close enough to Termini for easy access, but situated in a calm, characterful neighbourhood rather than the chaos around the station. Rooms were comfortable and well-appointed. What stood out most, though, was the staff - genuinely warm and attentive. Karen and Elena in particular made every interaction a pleasure. Would happily return.

The place and the location are great for a quick weekend getaway, but it was Karen (who works at Merulana) that made our stay. Super attentive and kind, and really made us feel at home. Would recommend Merulana to anyone.

Rooms are very clean, staff is super helpful and very sweet! They even gave us some tips on where to eat and what to see. To me the most important thing is the cleanliness of the facility and the rooms and thats why I gave 5 stars. Location is convenient as well! One thing to improve would be to replace the shower curtains more frequently, everything else was perfetto!

Great location for easy walking to shops and food, not too far from train station if you need to wheel your luggage like we did. The hotel is entirely on one floor and you take a cute little 2 person elevator to get there. The staff communicates well via WhatsApp and the are very kind.
