Staff at front desk is amazing....this hotel is in a renovated 5 or 6 story apartment... beautiful renovation....each floor is a different hotel...or private apartments. Tons of dining options around and very easy 5 minutes walk to Termini trains. Shower is just terrible...bathrooms sprays with water everywhere no screen or curtain and the tub doesn't drain so you have water up to your shins when showering...the armoire closet almost fell apart and tipped over when we opened it ..so cheap and flimsy we couldn't use it....the balcony outside our courtyard facing window is part of the hotel with one access door from the hotel hallway and the cleaning staff use it to store bags if garbage, dirty mops and brooms discarded cans and beer bottles and buckets. Very unsightly and needs to be improved. Great for one night but not 4 or 5.

The Demetra Hotel is a wonderfully run hotel located close to museums, churches, stores and great places to eat. Right outside the hotel is a restaurant called Cafe Washington, where I ate at least seven meals. I only wished the lobby were larger.

We loved that it was only a few blocks from the main train and metro stations for Rome. Our room had a really big bathroom with shower and a separate Jacuzzi tub. The staff was really helpful lending me a charging cube for my old-fashioned USB cord, (everyone is on the smaller USB-C in Italy now, and the power is 200 volts, so you need one of their cubes), and calling taxis for us. The room was super clean.

This hotel was great. The location is perfect if you’re planning on using the metro, taking the train to another city or using the hop on hop off buses. All of them are only about a 8 minute walk to Termini Station. We arrived before check in time but the staff allowed us to store our bags and wait in the lounge. They actually prioritized the cleaning of our rooms and let us get in 30 minutes before normal check in. The rooms are very clean and modern and the beds are comfortable. We chose to pay for the breakfast each day and it was outstanding. the best of three hotels we stayed at on our trip to Italy. All of the staff were very professional and very polite. The only “tips” I would give are be prepared that there are some steps at the entrance to get your bags up to the level of the elevator and if you want your air conditioning turned on you need to call and ask the front desk. It’s all controlled centrally at the desk. They only do that so as not to waste money on utilities. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel.

Bring Earplugs!
The room was spacious and clean, but the hotel is on the 2nd floor of a very busy street and the windows aren’t very soundproof. We heard people talking and yelling and singing throughout the night and could hear the garbage trucks coming through around 3am with a lot of glass breaking. Also because of all the light outside it is incredibly bright in the room at night. I had to use earplugs and an eye mask so if you stay here be sure to bring those so you can get a good nights sleep. The staff is friendly and the bed was comfortable though.

Muy buena opción para hospedarte en Roma, está cerca de la estación principal, tiene restaurantes cerca, una plaza enfrente. El hotel está cómodo, limpio y bonito. Es un hotel chiquito pero es buena opción. Lo único malo es que no te ponen acondicionador, ni crema corporal y las toallas ya están un poco viejas.

I don’t think I would recommend
I requested twin bed, but the bed was double when we arrived. So we had to wait to make it to twin. There was no body wash nor hair conditioner. I got a bottle of body wash at the front desk, but no hair conditioner. So I had to go but it by myself. The room temperature was set so low and I had to ask to make it up at the front desk. OMG! How many times I had to ask the front desk!!

Amazing Experience
We stayed in the jetted tub room (not wheelchair accessible); which we made full use of during our stay. All of the staff were so friendly and went out of their way to help you. They had useful information about good spots for lunch, touristic locations etc. We couldn’t have asked for more.

Great hotel, perfect location
Great hotel for a good price, lovely room and very friendly staff. The room and hotel in general was very clean and well presented. PERFECT location, 10/15 min walk to all the main sites and 5 mins to train station, would definitely recommend this hotel or at least this area of the city! The only thing was that when my partner asked for an iron he was told they weren’t sure if they had one (even though it states on the website that they do) and was eventually given one that leaked and could’ve been dangerous to use. When he informed the staff at the front desk they brushed it off as nothing.

Literally STINKS
What a shame! This is a cute hotel in a great location. Nice breakfast and lovely breakfast attendants. But our room had a SICKENING SMELL--which management attempted to "fix." They refused to move us (and claimed they couldn't smell it!) when we complained again. It turns out more than one of the rooms smells awful... Also, if you dare to book this place, the "basic double" is what they call at the hotel an "economy one-and-a-half"! It's teeny, which is fine, if that's what you booked. Best to go elsewhere.

They gave me a room 26 steps down( actual stairs) And then 8 stairs up. Facing the noisy street. Room was renovated and modern. But the pipes would stink like a gutter after taking a shower , to the point I could not fall a sleep from the stench. Sink was clogged they did nothing about it for 3 nights . Fridge did not work. As well

Our room is the one above the entrance with balcony. Its clean. Its not too big but not too small. Good enough for 3 people. Staff were helpfull and all nice specially Goli. She helped me with sorting my Autostrada penalty as the website is all in italian. Breakfast is good. Only comment is that tea bags in the room was not replenished so we bought our own and bring in the room. Other than that all very good.

This was our first stay in Rome. The staff were always very helpful, kind and present. The room was bigger than we expected and we really enjoyed that. Location was great felt like a 15 minute walk anywhere or to a near by bus. Only complaint was that our door would make a noise like it was going to open every time the room next door was opening their door - we figured it was airways not a big deal just annoyance. Would stay in the future.
