Worst place to stay in Rome
Biggest mistake I ever made was to book at this hotel. It is disgusting and terrible, and the hosts are very rude and inflexible.

Forma simples e econômica de se hospedar em Roma.
Fomos muito bem recebidos pela Sra. Bárbara que nos deu todas as orientações acerca do local e também nos deu um mapa dos principais pontos da cidade. Pena que não há a possibilidade de uso de microondas ou uma cozinha no imóvel. O quarto foi limpo todos os dias e as toalhas trocadas e o checkout foi super tranquilo. Na Estação Termini há um mercado chamado Conad que vende comida pronta e quente e quebra um galho pra quem não quer gastar em restaurantes todos os dias.

Così e così
La posizione è strepitosa, ma le condizioni dell'affittacamera sono rimaste a più di 15 anni fa, le foto sono un po ingannevoli perché trattasi di pavimentazione molto obsoleta e che ha impressione di essere poco pulita.gli asciugamani non profumavano ma al contrario avevano uno spiacevole odore, il doccione poco funzionante per il calcare e stessa cosa per il bidet...ma , la signra Barbara gentilissima e molto disponile. Ci ritorneremo senza ombra di dubbio se fanno lavori di ristrutturazione! 😉
