Rome Municipio I – Historical Center Hotels

I'm sure that each of us has his own scale of factors to evaluate whether a place is beautiful or ugly but that the added value is the people. In this clean, nice and very comfortable hotel, near the Roma Termini station, it is precisely the people who make a small hotel a point of reference for our trips to Rome. Paola from the reception was, and is, the person who followed us during the booking process and who went out of her way to help us project our photographs on a wall, in a small room set up just for us, a small group of photographers arrived in town for a two day photography course. Thanks Thanks Thanks dear Paola, you are invaluable for the hotel and for the people who stay with you.. an infinite thanks from all of us. Federica

Pro: we have chosen this hotel to be close to Termini Station and to almost all touristic objectives in the 4 days /3 nights we stayed in Rome. The price for 3 days was decent given the fact that we stayed during Catholic Easter. The reception was open 24/07 and the receptionist was kind and polite. Cons: The first thing that we have observed was the small room we had (2nd floor), with a green carpet but extremely dirty. It was now cleaned weeks ago it seems. I have photographed everything because the cleaning was not ok here. At all. The marble floor was dirty in the bathroom as well when we arrived but also during our stay. Nobody cleaned the floor. The cleaning lady arranged our bed and we had clean sheets and towels. The hotel has no restaurant, even though they have the room for it and it was nicely arranged. No food was served at all. Only a machine for coffee, teas and salty things.

We have been sleeping two nights in this B&B in Trieste near the railway station, in a third floor palace with lift. There is a parking in Silos nearby. Clean and spacious room. Heat. New bathroom. Exceptional shower. Abundant hand towels. Coffee machine with capsules. Heating machine with tisane. Fridge. All the structure is furnished with contemporary design works for sale. Recommended.

The Impero hotel in Rome is amazing. Whilst it isn’t the most glamorous or modern, the location is perfect for getting around the city. A short walk from the Metro, and all major sites can be walked to easily within 20-30 mins depending on how fast you walk. The staff are incredibly friendly and very helpful, the rooms were clean and comfortable and the breakfast was a super selection of fruits, breads, cheeses and much more. The roof terrace is very relaxing to chill out and relax in. The hotel has a mini-market across the street, lots of restaurants and other shops nearby as well, the perfect place to base yourself in Rome.

The location of the hotel is ok. It is walking distance to the Colosseum. Breakfast was great but more than that, the staff were very helpful but the breakfast crew were especially kind and helpful. My room was on the 6th floor and the concierge immediately took my bags upstairs which was wonderful. I’ve been in many hotels in Europe but this one left me with many questions. The room is small… very small; but I had a beautiful balcony. There really was not enough room for two full size suitcases. There was a closet but one door was blocked by the bedside table. The bath …. Good luck 😐 the shower is tight … very tight. The worst part of the entire experience was the annoying tv, even if you mute it, it will tell you it’s muted; it narrates everything and it is awfully annoying. Would I stay here again…. Possibly 😐

We stayed at the Cross Hotel for 3 days. The hotel is situated within walking distance from a metro station and a 25 min walk to the Colloseo. The hotel is recently renovated. The Lobby is very nice. Rooms are ok and has very comfortable beds, safe, tv, emptey minibar ( can be filled at extra costs). Little bathroom with shower, hairdryer, showergel… The hotel has also a garden terras bar where you can try some cocktails from 16:00 until 00:00Pm. Breakfast can be much better, little choice, pastries not tasty at all… breakfast is not recommended. for a short stay this hotel is definitely worth its 3 stars. staff is very helpful from receptionist to porter.

We stayed at Hotel Torino with a group. I would not recommend this hotel. The bed mattresses were completely worn out, no blankets on bed so we had to use ancient bedspreads. Hot water took 10 min to reach shower but if you tried to add cold to adjust temp, all hot water vanished. The hot shower was a trickle. Bathroom shampoo was powered and unusable. Breakfast was mediocre - fresh fruits were non-existent, coffee was not good, pastries were unappetizing, and boiled eggs severely over cooked. Thank goodness for the the granola which was delicious. Very few breakfast options nearby so we were stuck with the hotel choices. Our 7th floor room did not automatically lock, so room had to be locked from inside with key as well as locked with key whenever we left room. Other rooms in hotel did not have this issue. Keys had hotel name and room number plastered on the keychain which is a security issue if lost. Wifi dropped constantly. The safe did work and the room was made up each day (though our group had varied experience with housekeeping making up the rooms). If we had not been with a group, we would have left and found new accommodations.

Great stay, we didn´t expect much and everything was very good. It was a little bit far from everything but there are metro and bus stations near by, not the best place to go by walking but very clean and comfortable. Super big rooms, there was no heating control available but it worked automatically. Great bathroom and very bright at day. No breakfast included. It would have been great to have an electric kettle available. Recomend!

I would have liked to rate the hotel as 4.5* however our room was at the front of the hotel and even with the windows shut it was very noisy from the large road junction outside, plus there was noise from other residents and tvs in other rooms, maybe some soundproofing needs to be carried out. That having been said the location was excellent, an easily walkable distance to main attractions, plus a metro stop is directly outside the hotel. The area felt safe at night and there some very good restaurants to try which are only minutes away. Should you wish to go shopping then there are plenty of non-designer shops to choose from nearby including a very good department store called COIN. Our room was a good size and had a lovely bathroom. The bed was large and extremely comfortable, the linen was super soft. Cleaning through the hotel was of a high standard. Breakfast was excellent, everything you might want and the most delicious scrambled eggs I have ever had in a hotel. There were salads, pastries, cakes, fresh fruit, yoghurts, different cured meats and cheeses, sausages and bacon and vegetarian options. Top marks for the hard working breakfast staff. A great start to the day. Staff generally were friendly and helpful. At reception were snacks and drinks to welcome you which was a nice gesture. The hotel also has a small restaurant, ideal for lunches or if you are too exhausted to leave the hotel at night. We had pizzas and salads there a couple of times for lunch and they were very good. The reception area is good with couches, they will look after your baggage if you have a late flight. A very enjoyable stay.

We came to Rome for the second time and picked this hostel for the price and location! Best decision we could've made—great room with AC and a private bathroom, super conveniently located. Enjoyed a discounted breakfast at the hostel, perfect for budget travelers like us! Thanks, Mike. See you soon!
