The hotel is just a short walk from the Termini which was perfect. The foyer is neat and modern as are the rooms, we had a balcony overlooking the Termini plaza which gave some great sunshine and sunsets but was very quiet with the door closed. The hotel has one small lift and you need to be patient, it’s a lot of steps to go up if you’re on the higher floors. The staff were always friendly and helpful, we didn’t use the restaurant or bar as we dined out. We did find the Termini area a little unnerving in the evening with homeless people around but we found a great route by turning right which was safe and busy. Overall, absolutely recommend for transport convenience as well as walking to some of the sites.

Beautiful property within walking distance of the Roma Termini Train station. 25 minute walk to Trevi Fountain and Pantheon. 30 minute walk to the Colosseum. Rooms were spacious and clean with modern features. Shower was great!

Great choice of hotel, highly recommend!
We were so pleased with our choice of hotel! Great location, just across the road from Roma Termini station, which was easy to reach on a frequent train service from the airport. We initially chose this hotel as it was a little cheaper than those located more centrally, but felt the location was actually better, and walking into the centre took only around 20 minutes. The area felt safe, and the staff were very helpful. Breakfast was served on the rooftop restaurant, with views across Rome. Good selection of food available, with additional items such as pancakes at an extra charge. On one evening we were there there was a live Blues trio on the rooftop terrace, which was lovely. The room was clean and very comfortable. We had a family room, and our daughters each had a comfortable single bed. There was a bottle of wine in the room on arrival, and a coffee machine too. For my husbands birthday, they left some little cakes in the room and a happy birthday note! Highly recommend, we will definitely return! Decent value for the price too.

Fantastic!
Great location if you want to be away from the main areas or the centre - but only 5 min walk to the metro which was so easy to navigate. The room was well equipped and bed very comfortable. Air con was fabulous. Shower one of the best we have ever used and shower gel, shampoo, conditioner all provided. Breakfast was plentiful full of choice and the lovely roof top terrace was a lovely setting for this. We also visited at night it was lovely. Our only gripe was that the cleaning staff didn’t replace any cups that we used so we had to repeatedly get extra. There are two mini markets a stones throw from the hotel for water and snacks etc.

We have previously stayed at this hotel twice before, I would say for the morning buffet there weren’t as many choices for breakfast which was disappointing as you need a good breakfast to start a busy day. I’d also say the reception staff were professional but not as friendly as I have experienced before. Also we were disturbed every morning around 5:30 by people above ….. I want an early start to my day but not that early….. best point about hotel is location as metro and train station is less than 5 minutes away.

Was convenient to go to train station. Room were neat. Breakfast options great and staff there were friendly. Only complaint I have , the room have this white dust probably from air conditioning. The front desk staff did nothing and if you have dust allergy best to stay away. Front desk needs awarness to treat all ethic groups the same way. The day we left it was pouring down and the front desk didn't allow us to use the complimentary umbrella or offered to help. For $400 per night you get better service at Marriot or Hilton or holiday inn chains. But disappointed of all hotels we stayed during this trip.

Exceeded my expectations: location, service, cleanliness and convenience is the hallmark of this hotel. Staff, especially Monia at reception desk given extra effort to accommodate my family of four on early arrival and throughout ou stay- thank you Monia!

I love love love this property. The hotel is modern —appears to have been newly remodeled — yet quaint. We had a room with a balcony that looks out on a beautiful courtyard. The rooms are well designed and spacious. The hotel is right in the middle of everything, yet my room was relatively quiet at night. Close to the train station and hop on hop off bus stop. A 20 minute walk to Trevi Fountain. The staff was very helpful. We left to early for our breakfast so the staff prepared to go baskets!! I look forward to staying again.

Fabulous hotel! We are a family of four with two boys ages 9 and 10. We had a room and the boys slept on the sofa bed in the living room area, which was actually two separate beds. The beds were super comfortable for all of us. The staff were very friendly. There was a bottle of wine and handwritten note waiting for us when we arrived and this is the first hotel I’ve stayed in where the first round of mini bar items are included! There is a wonderful restaurant next door called Diana’s Place-I would highly recommend. The rooftop for breakfast was a beautiful setting (also delicious options) and at night, there was a jazz band (the entertainment varies)-a great way to wind down the evening. The location is great as it is easy walking distance from the Roma Termini train station. We walked with our luggage no problem. We stayed just one night, to catch the Leonardo express to the airport for an early morning flight. Wish we could have stayed another night!

Very nice hotel and good location. It's close to the train station in Rome but on a quieter street. Staff was very helpful, room was clean and modern and we even had a welcome package (biscotti and wine) when we arrived. Our room had a balcony and we had a great view of the city. Would definitely stay there again.

The service and staff were very attentive and helpful. I think the only downside regarding this hotel was the elevator. It was very small. If you are willing and able to walk up and down the stairs then all is good but could be an issue for those that struggle.
