I have to say I've never seen such a dirty hotel in Rome; the room conditions are terrible, and there's really nothing I can recommend.

Room conditioncomplaints rising: 7.7 in 100 a year ago, 17.4 now212Weak spot
A small, run-down hotel with terrible rooms and a disgraceful bathroom with a tiny shower and a portable bidet, managed by no one knows who.
Google, September 2025, rated 1/5 by this guest
The hotel rooms are small, in need of refurbishment, the tram that runs outside is noisy and causes the table in the room to shake when it starts running early in the morning all the way through late into the night.
Google, March 2025, rated 3/5 by this guest
The property is modern and nearly of the bus, train and busta i stations
Booking network, November 2024, rated 8/10 by this guest
Quiet at night217Weak spot
Also the noise in the front rooms is an issue with trains and sirens going past all night.
Booking network, November 2025, rated 8/10 by this guest
Cons: you can sometimes hear people in the stairwell.
Google, September 2026, rated 4/5 by this guest
The hotel is next to Termini station- the sound of the train disturbing at night
Booking network, December 2024, rated 7/10 by this guest
Too few mentions to judge: breakfast, beds, food and views.

Towels are changed every three days, the toilet bowl is broken, the shower is a tiny 40x40 cm tray where you can't move around, and the shower doors are filthy.
Google, May 2026, rated 1/5 by this guest
The shower did not drain and nearly flooded the rest of the bathroom, the lift was out of order, and the walls were not cleaned of dead insect carcasses.

The room was also not very clean when we arrived, having asked for housekeeping several times they missed us.
Google, August 2026, rated 2/5 by this guest
The sink drain was reported as clogged, but it wasn't fixed because I was told the drain has a bypass that carries water to the terrace.

A physical hazard2 of 98 reviews
The bathroom just flooded (water leaked into the room and the frame is broken because of it), only one of the bedside outlets works, and the same goes for the TV.

I cut my arm a little when I accidentally walked near one of those poorly polished pieces of metal.
