Everything is ok. The location of area is 5 minutes from Termini trains and buses stations in Rome. The room is smaller than expected. Add $3.5 euro per person for each night for City taxes. Add $5 euro for air conditioning per night.

When I arrived, the manager walked me to a different building a few blocks away. The accommodation was what I had reserved, but it was off-putting. The walls were very thin, so bring ear plugs, but it was really easy to get to the train station and get to buses, the underground train, and taxis.

I was really impressed by the room & facilities. I booked a single room with shared outside bathroom but was delighted to be given one with one inside and a huge very comfortable bed. Terrific value and highly recommended

Good location, not great service
We were told we'd receive breakfast in the morning but it never came, there were no staff on-site and no contact details provided if we required assistance. The hotel is on the 6th floor of a building, above a backpackers hostel and there is a bar outside which makes for a noisy stay. To get up to the 6th floor with luggage, there is a tiny, rickety old elevator that can fit a maximum of one person and one bag, or two people with no bags. The room itself was fine and a good size but we were charged 5 euro extra per day for air conditioning.

Even though we paid as soon as we arrived this hotel still charged my credit card and refunded it for some strange reason. This left me out of pocket as I was refunded less in £s than I was charged. Beware of this.

We have not charged your credit card, the customer of this, but we have just done, a pre-authorization, to check if the credit card was valid, or false, to secure the reservation, otherwise it was canceled, as provided on the website,

Lovely trip to rome
It was clean and tidy. Breakfast was basic but adequate. Manager was friendly and helpful. Only bad thing was the road noise but that is expected in the centre of the termini. You do become accustomed to it though after a night. Excellent location for exploring Rome, especially if you cannot speak Italian, you just ask for the termini and everyone directs you. Air cooling fan was a added bonus, especially on the hot evenings, and it was quiet and free.

It was a good affordable hotel if you want to stay near Rome termini station with affordable price. If you are a tourist, who will spend most of the time roaming around the city, it is a good choice. Basic facilities for night stay are there

Survival in Rome
We had a hard time getting into the place as no one was around. A note was left on the outer door saying to call this number and someone would stop by. Our cell phone does not work outside the U.S. so we were pretty sell screwed. I begged a passerby to use his cell phone and the manager or owner did come. He wanted as little to do with us as possible and when we asked about using a phone to call a cab he said there was a pay phone in the train station about 4 blocks away that we could use. Our room reminded me of a prison cell without the enhancements. We got by though and our room was close to the train station so that was a plus.

It's ok for the price
Very basic, but it's ok for the price. Clean room, clean bathroom, the towel was a little worn out. 3 minutes walk from Termini station/metro/buses. The "breakfast" was a cup of coffee (I did not drink it) and a piece of croissant (not freshly made, but the one you can buy in shops)

Cash only, dirty towels, & no staff. 100% lies.
This is not a hotel, it's a room inside an apartment. We had to arrange a time to meet the owner at the building, where he required full cash payment. It's the first time on Hotels.com that I have ever had to pay in cash. It wiped out my entire emergency cash fund to pay for the room. Details on Hotels.com are incorrect. I was told that this place offered a 24-hour front desk. We didn't see a single person for any of the three days after paying. The "full breakfast" was “no breakfast". Upon checkin, the owner said that it is only an Italian-style breakfast of 1 croissant and 1 coffee, which he actually never brought to us throughout our stay. The towels were dirty. We couldn't get in touch with the owner, so placed them on the floor in the morning to get fresh ones. Someone came in our room that day and hung the towels back up on the hooks (still dirty). My Lion King sheet bed wasn’t made, and the place stunk. When the circuit breaker flipped in the evening, there was nobody there to turn it back on...fortunately the breaker box was unlocked. This was an awful experience and it's the worst place I have ever stayed. I expected the street noise to be loud since it was near the train station, but it is NOISY. The Hotel License hanging in the entryway is also expired. I think the owner pocketed the 40 Euros extra we had to pay. I should have walked away from this place upon arrival.

Really good choice
Previous reviews had made me worry about this choice but you'll see there's nothing to worry about. The room is near Termini station which people may say it's a bad area. Its not. It's busy but convenient. The room was very spacious, the shower was great, hot water, brand new bathroom and very big, also very comfortable bed. Breakfast is just a coffee and a croissant and there are no common area spaces but this is definitely a hotel I would go back to. I wish I'd been here the rest of the nights in Rome.

If you really are on a budget..
I was accommodated in a 'kind-of-refurbished' flat managed by Pitagora B&B. They might have more than one, all in different locations. The room rented as a single is not really meant to be a room; in origin it must have been a small storage space of the flat. Inside the room there is space for a single bed, a desk and one chair. No wardrobe. No storage space. The very little window is at 2.5 metres from the floor. There isn't any light coming from it really. All the light in the room is artificial. The bathroom is private but outside the room. You must walk across a common area facing the entrance to other rooms in order to get to the bathroom. In the bathroom the same problem with the window: it's placed 2.5 metres from the floor and cannot be opened, hence problems with moisture and bad smell. Overall good for my needs.

So call a hotel
The only good things are the location and the staffs are friendly and helpful. The facilities of the hotel is bad. I booked a single and surprise to know that the bathroom is outside of my room. Also, I suspect that some one was using my washroom although they claim it is private. Moreover no ventilation in the bathroom. The wifi is poor as well. The connection was always lost. I don't think it can be called as a hotel.

The bathroom of the single bedroom is private, but close to the room, and it is also written on the internet, no person enters the bathroom, but only the staff to clean it, for the wi-fi, no one has ever complained and it works fine.

Worse hotel experience!
The owner smelled horrible and was hostile (not one smile), there was no A/C in the room, the mattress was as hard as rock, the pillows felt like they were made of straw, and the room was very noisy since it is located on the first floor (next to a busy street). The breakfast consisted of cold coffee/oily tea, and a wrapped cheap croissant. We would not recommend this hotel to anyone!!! They asked us to pay 3 days in advance- had we known, much better quality hotels were available at almost the same price in the same area! The only good thing about this place was the owner's wife, who was nice to us.
Response from giuseppe on Dec 21, 2013
There is also written on the internet, where these customers have booked, that payment is due at the time of the ceck-in, but these customers do not want to pay, so we had to push strongly, was that they did not like this, then have spoken ill of everything, mainly of the owner, because they wanted to pay at the start? This made us doubt and think.!

Good location and price but lots left to be desired.
This hotel had a decent price and was located next to the train station, but the service was wanting. When we arrived, the attendant questioned whether or not the Expedia fare was actually accurate, or if it was for just one night, even though the reservation was clear. Next, the hotel is not the same address listed with Expedia, although it is in the same neighbourhood. They do not accept credit cards, so I had to go and get cash for the room. While the attendant was bringing us to the other location he was moving so fast he lost us in the train station (no real awareness our luggage would slow us down). The room was big for Rome, but without shampoo or TV in any other language (although we were in Italy so this is to be expected). There was no front desk, but we had a key. This meant no wake up calls. Breakfast was a pastry filled with chocolate as well as coffee, nothing more. You get what you pay for, and I was happy with the price.

La posizione della struttura è spettacolare a due passi dalla stazione Termini e in generale da tutti i mezzi di trasporto. Il quartiere è molto vivo a tutte le ore, trattandosi di una zona multietnica trovi un mix di turisti e di persone di tutte le nazionalità oltre che a negozi e ristoranti di ogni tipo. Il palazzo dove si trova l'affittacamere, attenzione non è un b&b è un po' retrò ma le costruzioni di quella zona sono un po' tutte così. Si trova al quinto piano quindi quando L'ascensore non funziona c'è da faticare un po',. Le camere sono molto pulite l'arredamento è Basic però la stanza come base di partenza per farsi una doccia e per dormire va più che bene. Il personale è presente soltanto per il check-in e comunque si è dimostrato disponibile e gentile. Prezzo più che Ottimo per la posizione consigliato a chi ha poche pretese ma vuole comunque essere in centro

見た泊まった経験したことを書きました。
オーバーブッキングで別の施設に回される、こちらも同じ名前の宿泊施設。主人について歩く。駅から来た道を戻る、先に言ってくれよ、早く横になりたいと願う疲れた体には堪える。8分歩いたか、到着。独房のような部屋。50平方㎝程の窓が壁に、180cmの高さに一つある。昼間は換気していた様だ、開いたままのその窓から落ちた埃や塵がテレビ台とされたデスクに積もっている。イタリア中の安宿に泊まったがこれはトップクラス、中々の不快度合いだ。アウトバス、主人はプライベートバスルームだと自慢げに案内してくれた。置かれた洗濯機から異臭が立ちこめる。シャワーの水量は問題ないがぬるい、冬場はキツいだろう温度。便器はOKレベル。タオルは良く言えば自然な仕上がり、悪く言えば干しさらしゴワゴワ。シングルベッド、シーツはOK, その下は怖くて見ていない。床はザラザラ、裸足でなんか間違っても歩けない。とにかく安くて駅近という条件さえ満たしていればOKという方はどうぞ。ちなみに明朝は5時半出発、周辺環境は良くない。薄暗い中、酔った黒人に腕を捕まれた。こっちも馴れたもの、腕をはね除けるとブツブツ言いながら立ち去る。遊びたかっただけで本当の悪ではない様子。とにかくこんな場所のこんなやどです。
