El personal un poco malhumorado, como la mayoría de los romanos ;), pero siempre intentaron solucionar los inconvenientes. La habitación espaciosa con frigobar, y buen lugar para guardado de ropa y equipaje. El baño muy bueno y grande. El desayuno bueno pero el lugar pequeño y cortaban media hora antes de lo que indica el horario. La zona para caminar, tomar tranvía y bus, a pasos de Termini, con muchos restaurantes, nos resultó inmejorable.

Really nice, clean hotel in a good location close to the train station. The staff were very kind and helpful. The air conditioning worked well and kept the room cool. The windows blocked out the street noise really well, not sure what kid of magical glass they use. The breakfast could use some improvement, we didn't find a lot of options that we liked. Also the listing is a little bit wonky on Expedia. I booked the superior quadruple room thinking we were getting two distinct environments (like the pictures showed), but it ended up being a standard room with 4 beds.

Good breakfast option! We love it specially the milk! People in charge of the breakfast are nice. The hotel is close to termini station. The only downside is they’re renovating some of the rooms. So, the area near the elevator at the lobby is messy and dusty.
