This hotel was perfect for what I needed it for, which was a place to stay between train trips, close to the Opera house because we had tickets for a performance there. The staff was incredibly nice—I had booked two nights as separate reservations due to a change of plans, and the man at the front desk arranged it so that we could stay in the same room even though the bookings were for different types of rooms. I was also pleased as it was the only bathtub I had in Italy, and the beds were not as hard as some other places we stayed. I wouldn’t want to stay in this part of Rome for long unless I needed access to Termini as it’s not a very charming area, but it served its purpose for my needs. I didn’t try the breakfast as we decided to skip that in favor of getting cornettos and cappuccinos at a cafe.

Nice Hotel
Hotel is in an excellent location 6 minutes walk from Roma Termini station. Check in was very smooth. Very welcoming attitude of the front desk attendant. Rooms are good but awkward positions of shower and I will call you. In the meeting.

Property was convenient for getting to the Roma Termini. Now the Room was VERY SMALL. The bed was the worst bed I have ever slept on and forget about the pillows. Woke up neck hurting and back aching all over..........would think twice before booking here.

I stayed at this hotel and while the overall experience was fine for its level, the service from one staff member, Tamer at the front desk was unacceptable. On August 19th, my son, who has a severe nut allergy, had an allergic reaction after eating a croissant at breakfast. I had specifically asked the kitchen staff if the croissant contained nuts, and they assured me it didn't. However, the chocolate topping contained Nutella, which triggered his allergy. We had to cancel our tour, rush to a pharmacy, and my son vomited multiple times to minimize the reaction.Thankfully, we managed without using his EpiPen. When I returned to the hotel and informed Tamer about the situation, he was dismissive and unsympathetic. Instead of apologizing, he blamed the incident on the previous night's meal and even argued that the croissant was nut-free because the nuts were only in the topping. He showed a complete lack of knowledge, compassion, and professionalism. Despite his promise to flag the issue to management, I received no follow-up or apology. Additionally, on the day of our departure, Tamer's service was equally poor. We had requested to store our luggage, which was confirmed the day before. Tamer instructed us to leave our bags in an unsupervised visitor area, refusing to store them securely in the back room despite our concerns about valuables in our backpacks. When I returned later to find the back room empty, I confronted him and he falsely claimed there had been no space earlier
