In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Location hard to beat — Guests repeatedly describe the position as the hotel's best feature: Roma Termini is a short walk away, an underground station is within a stroll, and Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore is an 8-minute walk from the door.
- Helpful, visible staff — Staff score 8.6, the hotel's highest rating category, and reviewers mention help with Vatican tickets, a welcome map, smooth late-night check-in and a quick repair of an air-conditioning fault.
- Clean, simple rooms — Rooms score 7.5 and the words 'clean' and 'tidy' come up repeatedly. Guests also mention comfortable beds and modern bathrooms, while several note the rooms are small.
- Starting rate from £33 — The published price starts at £33 per night, and at least one reviewer calls the hotel very good value for money, noting rates are adjusted to the market.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Small rooms and basic facilities — The lowest category scores are Facilities and Value, both at 6.9, and several guests mention compact rooms. This is a place to sleep and explore, not to spread out in.
- Better for short stays — One reviewer sums it up as enough for city sightseeing but not for a longer stay; another recommends it for two to four days in Rome. Set expectations accordingly.
- Rating sits below the area average — The hotel's 7.4 rating from 1,450 reviews is below the area average of 8.7, so it's reasonable to expect a more basic stay than the local average.

7.4Verified guest“Service stood out, especially from Cristiano, who helped sort out Vatican tickets and gave us a lovely map. The room was clean and tidy, and the hotel is conveniently located a short walk from Termini station.”
7.4Verified guest“I liked the location — it's really close to Roma Termini, with good bus connections to the city centre. Staff were friendly and helpful, and their English was relatively good. The room was clean, and you can pay by cash or credit card. Wi-Fi worked well. There was also a safe in the wardrobe, though I didn't use it, so I can't say whether it worked. I'd recommend it for backpackers or for a short two-to-four-day stay in Rome.”
7.4Verified guest“A nice hotel, very close to Termini. The room wasn't big, but it was quite modern and clean, and the bathroom with shower was the same.”
