Hotel Stella - ideal for tourists on a budget.
My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Stella for 3 nights from the 15th - 17th August 2005. The hotel is as you would expect for a 2 star, basic. However, its main feature is that it is 5 - 10 mins walk maximum from the Termini station. This was ideal for us as we landed at Ciampino Airport and coaches take you direct to the Termini for a small fee. The down side to the location is that it is in a more run down part of Rome than elsewhere. It was directly above Club Africa and the Julieus Ceaser pub which created on occasions alot of noise, HOWEVER, the windows in the room prevent most if not all of the noise from these venues and you hardly hear anything outside. The hotel is clean and the staff very friendly. We tried breakfast once but it was slightly cramped conditions. Overal, good clean hotel in ideal location for sightseeing purposes. We would stay there again if our budget dictated money was an issue. The location is ideal for getting around to tourist attractions with the Termini so close, and nearby Metro Stations.
Unique Quality: The location of the hotel and being 5 - 10 mins walk from the Termini make this Hotel a good choice if your budget dictates nothing more than a 2 star.
