Located within walking distance from the central train and metro station of Rome, the hotel is a little hard to find and is not appropriate for families, couples or girls due to its surrounding. Skip the breakfast. The room is big but very old as well as the bathroom. They offer only one towel for your whole stay. The staff... More

We visited Rome in April 2011, the neighbourhood is almost scary and the rooms worse the filthy.

We stayed at the bed&breakfast during 3 nights. We had 3 rooms (6 persons), all with a private bathroom at the via Giovanni 199. 2 out of 3 rooms had a small refrigerator. It's run by Chinese people. Most employees I've seen speak (basic) English (i guess 4 out of 6). The place is not totally clean, but it's acceptable.... More

Arriving at the hostel The "hostel" is operated by Chinese people and consists of a set of apartments situated across the quarter besides the Termini train station, which is one of the dirtiest and most uncomfortable parts of Rome. If you arrive at night, the reception (in one of the apartments) is really hard to find. Only a small, easy-to-oversee... More

Our stay there was really disappointing. We didn't expect much, but it was worth that anyone can imagine. The place is VERY dirty, disgusting, and not similar to the pictures in the website. There was not toilet paper, and no reception to go claim for it in the building. The are is convenient only because is close to the terminal,... More
