Yes Hotel

I stayed for three nights and was a little concerned that it was so close to the Station as I knew that wasn't the best area, but I didn't need to worry. The location was excellent and so easy to find, just off the main road at the side of the station. The hotel was much more 'plush' than I had expected for the price I had paid. (www.booking.com) The reception was small but the welcome was big (what a cliche!) My room was accessed via another door in the street which was next door to the hotel. Oh no, I thought, the annex, but it was superb and just as 'plush' as the hotel and the added convenience of not having to go through reception when I came back late. Breakfast was taken in the dining room of the hotel. Quite a small room but the food was super. There was the usual continental with rolls, cheese, salami, ham etc, but there was also eggs, sausages and bacon at no extra cost, which is unusual for a capital city hotel. I absolutely loved it and would go there again when in Rome next.

Unique Quality: Tremendous location, fabulously friendly and helpful staff and good choice of breakfast. If you love walkiing, as I do, then this is an ideal location as everything within the 'eternal triangle' of main attractions is close at hand.

Directions: Close to the main rail station. Come out of the main entrance and turn right to the road leading along the station. Via Magenta is parallel to this road on the other side of the buildings.

This 3 star centrally located hotel was the perfect base from which to visit the city centre, and the actual accommodation was definately a cut above the usual 3 star hotel. We initially chose the hotel or it's modern design and well presented web site and weren't dissappointed. The decor is ultra modern with glass chandeliers and leather furnishings and the rooms were very comfortable. We were able to book a city tour with the reception staff and found their restaurant recommendations and discount cards to be very helpful. I would definately return to this hotel on my next trip to Rome, and can certainly recommend the breakfast which is well varied and the perfect start to a day in Rome.

Unique Quality: The main highlight of the hotel is the modern desgn. Upon entering there is a large reception desk in leather and there are plenty of glass chandeliers creating a soothing atmosphere. In the breakfast room there is a large plasma television and stainless steel furniture. The rooms have a controllable thermostat with AC and are equipped with plasma televisions, electroni safes and cool, crisp bedding in neutral colours. It was a great retreat at the end of a heavy day sightseeing.

Directions: You must exit from the Termini train station near platform No. 1 onto Via Marsala. Take a left onto Via Marsala followed by a right onto Via Vicenza and then a first left onto Via Magenta.
