Exceptionally clean welcoming hotel. Superb facilities and modern well appointed rooms. At first its location seems a little out of the way but its proximity to the Termini means that All major sites are within easy reach (buses 64 and 40 or the Metro covers just about everything) superb restaurants close by and excellent shopping. The hotel's Covid-19 prevention facilities are first rate. The Universo is my first choice hotel for a stay in Rome.

Terrible customer service!! We booked our stay back back in February for our honeymoon In August. Unfortunately we had to cancel our stay due to COVID-19 explaining our flight to Italy got cancelled I asked for a refund or credit. They did not do anything for us. Do yourself a favour and stay somewhere else where they treat their customers good.

Lovely Hotel close to Roma Termini
I was really happy I stayed at this hotel. It was very clean and comfortable. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast wasn’t included so I paid the €9 and it was worth it. There was a large variety of tasty food to choose. I would definitely stay here again
