The Good about this place:
-clean room.
-good location (near Roma Termini and the blue and red Metro stops). You can easily get to Vatican City, Spanish Steps, and the Coliseum from the Metro stop at Roma Termini.
-Easy check-in.
-quiet place (didn’t hear any other guests while at the property).
-cost.
The Bad about this place:
-I stayed in room number 4. The room smelled like sewage… BAD. The smell came from the toilet, but it being a small bathroom it made the whole room smell like sewage. I tried to stay out of this property for as long as I could and only go back late at night to sleep.
-the neighborhood around it is a bit rough. A few homeless people, a lot of people drinking alcohol in the street. Plenty of males doing so both day and night (this should be important to females traveling alone or in pairs).
-main gate into building not locked so potentially you could be followed into the building since you cannot lock the door after you enter building.
-old and a bit rundown building.
-property is away from easy access to a store to buy water or snacks. Make sure you bring what you need when done for the day. I would not venture out late at night looking for bottled water.
Overall, I wouldn’t return to this property. The smell of sewage was overpowering at times. Yes, the location is convenient and the price is accessible but I deeply disliked returning at night. Ended here because my trip to Rome was last minute and the hotel availability was minimal in the city.
If you have the budget and the time to book ahead, look elsewhere. Hope this is helpful.
