4階にあるホテルでした。業務用とも思えるエレベーターがあって人は乗ってはいけなさそう。なので自力で階段使ってスーツケースを上げました。 ですが、そのエレベーターは使って良いものでした。じゃないと4階まで上げるのはどう考えても無理、中は綺麗です。朝食も想像以上でした。テルミナ駅近いしこの値段なら納得です。

The location is convenient if you are just passing through Rome from the termini. The breakfast at the downstairs cafe was average. Unfortunately the hostel was disgusting when i was there. The bins of used toilet paper were overflowing, dirty wet towels stayed on the shared bathroom floor, there was hair all over both showers, and even a band aid in one. Yuck. The staff were absent and didn’t seem too interested in doing any work. This place is cheap but you get what you pay for.

Sotto la media

Certo che per quel prezzo con colazione non mi aspettavo nulla di buono, quindi ero pronto ad affrontare qualche disagio. Posizione comodissima, colazione con cappuccio e cornetto al bar sotto. Pulizia poco curati, bagni sporchi, su richiesta mi hanno cambiato l’asciugamano, in camera eravamo in tre con due armadi ed un comodino, a me è toccato il comodino non erano presenti attaccapanni o sedie quindi per appoggiare lo zaino ed i vestiti rimani il pavimento. Anche gli armadi non erano previsti di appendono e chiusura con lucchetto. Personale molto cortese e gentile.

Lasciate perdere le precedenti recensioni! L'hotel ha cambiato gestione ed i nuovi proprietari stanno facendo di tutto per rendere confortevole questo spazio! Lo stabile non è il massimo ma il punto ed il rapporto qualità prezzo è ottimo.

女子の一人旅でも安全。駅から徒歩1分の最格安ホテル。

駅前の道を歩いて20秒。ローマっ子もびっくりのレトロなエレベーターで4階。全6室のホテル。 若い女性が一人で真夜中にチェックインしていました。若い女性が多いみたいです。 中は改装したてで真っ白。トイレとシャワーは共同ですが快適です。 とにかくいい。最安価格も最高ですが、朝のローマを満喫できます。 テルミニ駅最近なので教会の鐘とローマっ子の大声の会話でイタリア映画に浸れます。 高級ホテルを思うなら、来てはダメです。びっくりするような宿泊料で朝食付きなのですが、隣のレストランで食べます。パンとカプチーノなのですが通勤途中のローマのサラリーマンと一緒に浸りきれます。 このカプチーノがすごい。カプチーノの本物を体験できます。「スタバは違う」と口に出してしまいます。

Avoid!

The hotel was bought by someone a month before, so these may just be early problems, but our stay was terrible. The only entrance is via a locked door that the receptionist unlocks, however after 9pm they just disappear- meaning you have to ring the doorbell multiple times, yell and slam the door until someone lets you in. This is ridiculous and annoying when you’re trapped outside, and makes it hard to sleep when you’re inside. The staff are regularly nowhere to be found, we’ve caught them smoking indoors or just hanging round in a group outside while the hotel is left unattended. The bathrooms are disgusting. Toilets aren’t cleaned, sinks and drains are blocked and there’s no water pressure or easy temperature change in the shower. Stay away!!!!

Zentral und günstig

Wir waren ab 26.10. für 1 Woche in dem Hotel. Das Bad am Gang ist nicht jedermanns Sache, aber das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Zimmer war sauber und die Lage direkt am Bahnhof Termini war perfekt für uns. Insgesamt vom Preis/Leistungsverhältnis zu empfehlen wenn es zu den Ansprüchen passt.

Don't, just don't.

Tldr: don't stay here, it's not nice. The only good thing about this 'hotel' is it's closeness to termini. Other than that, there were no good thing about this place. An hour to check in, they barley speak or understand english, they didn't believe us when we said we had paied, our dubble room was a bunkbed, a gently cocroach made a suprise visit. And to top it of no breakfast, we had to wait for the person in charge to give us two cupons who was not there in the morning and with all that had happend we just dropped the key and left.

Stolen Information

While in Rome I walked into a small convenience store to buy a drink. Meanwhile a few emails came in, via my phone. Someone had booked this hotel using my card information, same card I had just used to buy a drink. I called the travel site used to book this hotel, but when they reached out to this hotel they refused to cancel the online transaction. I reviewed the transactions and noticed the drink was never charged and instead my card information taken to book this hotel, which by coincidence is right above the hotel. I walked up and I was he genuinely afraid for my life. I wanted to speak to the front desk person but a female resident warned me this weren't people to mess with. $400 we're stolen from my card and I noticed right away, I contacted both the travel site expedia in this case, and figured out where the hotel was. Neither party helped. My information was fraudulently taken and a hotel was booked immediately, taking part of my vacation reserve money. The people are running a theft ring , using the business down stairs.
