Cheap Hotels in Rome

"We have read so many reviews about this hotel some good some not that great. At the end I would like to say that forvthe money value and the location the hotel is great. The staff is very polite and helpful. The hotel inside is very antique I would say. The rooms are clean yes there are some imperfections but you dont come to Rome to stay all day in the room but to see the city. So my opinion its with it. Its literally 2 min walk from Train station Termini. If yiu want to have a good breakfast 4 min walk from the hotel there is a cafe washington. Amazing staff and quality of breakfast. If you want to have good quality of great pizza there is in a distance of 4 min walk restaurant Llangollen di Napoli. The staff is amazing and yhe food is great. The photos are not related to the hotel but to the places to go for good food."

"My English isn't great, but the male manager at the front desk spoke the clearest English I heard on this trip! His pace wasn't too fast either, and he was very enthusiastic and friendly, even cracking a few jokes. He really brightened my day. The triple room was also very large and spacious, and came with slippers. However, the hotel's breakfast box was a bit disappointing. It was just pre-packaged snacks and such, very basic. For those catching an early flight who won't have time to eat breakfast at the hotel, I'd suggest not booking a room with breakfast included. It's not worth the price; you're better off getting something at the airport."

"The highlight of my stay at this hostel was definitely the outstanding service from Alejandro and Dan. From the warm welcome at check‑in to daily tips on local sights, they were always friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful. The common areas were spotless, the kitchen well equipped, and the whole place felt like a cozy home away from home."

"I recently stayed at this hotel and while there were a few positives, the overall experience was disappointing due to a series of overlooked details and frustrating issues. To start with the good—the staff were great: friendly, helpful, and informative. They made an effort to assist whenever asked, and that hospitality was appreciated. The location was decent, about a 30-minute bus ride to the city center. It’s not exactly central, but manageable if you’re okay with the commute. The room was reasonably clean upon arrival, but the quality of housekeeping declined quickly. A lotion stain I accidentally left on the shower floor was never cleaned, and instead of actually scrubbing the area, housekeeping simply placed a mat over it—as if to hide it. Initially, the room came stocked with two sets of towels, but after the first day, only one of each was replaced. While the booking was for one person, maintaining the original quantity would have shown a bit more care and consistency. There were several small inconveniences that added up. For example, the room phone had no directory, so I had no idea how to contact the front desk or reach any services. On top of that, the air conditioning didn’t work for the first two days, which turned out to be because the previous guest had asked for it to be turned off, and it was never reset. It took me that long to realize I had to ask the concierge to enable it again. In a properly managed hotel, the AC should be reset and ready for the next guest without needing to make a request. The continental breakfast was another letdown. The scrambled eggs were dry, lumpy, and had a strange grey tint. The bacon and sausages were cold, and orange juice was served in plastic cups. There was very little fresh fruit, and to top it off, they had a random speaker on the floor playing radio ads during breakfast—a strange and unpleasant ambiance for a morning meal. I’m glad I didn’t pay for breakfast for my entire stay, because it definitely wasn’t worth it. The Wi-Fi was by far the worst I’ve encountered in any hotel. It disconnected constantly and, when connected, barely reached speeds of 5 Mbps. For a hotel in a tourist-heavy area, this is unacceptable and suggests a clear lack of awareness of guest needs—especially for travelers who rely on Wi-Fi to plan outings or stay in touch. Noise was another major issue. The elevator makes a blaring siren-like noise when it opens, which woke me up every single morning. The walls and doors are paper-thin, making it easy to hear people walking or talking outside, and the doors slam shut loudly, adding to the disturbance. Finally, while not the hotel’s fault, there were a few homeless individuals living around the property, which might make some guests feel uneasy, particularly at night. All in all, while the staff were excellent and the location worked, there were just too many frustrating and avoidable issues—poor housekeeping, unusable Wi-Fi, subpar breakfast, noise problems, and a lack of attention to guest experience basics. I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless the hotel makes significant improvements across the board."

"Great location, just two blocks from Termini Station. It's quiet despite being central. The room was spacious, and the electric massage bed was a pleasant surprise. Breakfast was quite substantial, and if you're used to a 'Western breakfast,' you'll find a good variety of authentic local options."

"My friend and I traveled to Rome, and we were a little apprehensive. But the pleasant surprise of meeting such kind and friendly people, the amazing room they gave us with a little terrace, made our stay unforgettable. Everything was spotless, and the cleaning staff, always smiling, made us feel right at home. We would definitely go back. Thank you, Hotel Impero, for everything! 🙏🙏🙏"

"This hotel is close to Termini Station, about a 6-7 minute walk. **Accessibility:** It's a 6-minute walk from the station, making it easy to get to the Vatican and Colosseum. **Service:** The staff were friendly, but I had booked a twin room and was initially given a double. I had to go to the front desk to get it changed. **Cleanliness:** Everything was satisfactory, including the bed sheets. **Facilities:** The room itself was decent, but the shower stall was too small, making it difficult to move around. Also, the showerhead was facing the wrong direction."

"I stayed here for several days, using it as a transfer point between a few cities. The 24-hour front desk was always available, and my luggage was safely stored overnight. Breakfast was decent, and I even got watermelon in the summer. They provided two bottles of water in the room daily, which was a nice touch! The smart room wasn't huge, but it was perfectly adequate, and cleaned every day. The only minor downside was the lack of a large supermarket nearby, though a Lidl was a 10-minute walk. Otherwise, everything was great. The Tiburtina train station is incredibly convenient, just across the road. Getting to the airport, whether by taxi or train, was super smooth. And when my train was delayed, I could comfortably wait in the air-conditioned hotel. From this train station, you can easily reach major cities, and tourist attractions are just a few metro stops away. Overall, it's very convenient and safe. Plus, there are cheap little restaurants downstairs."

"Sanitation: The hotel absolutely stank of sewage, I don't know where it was coming from. I saw reviews mentioning it before booking but thought it might be a rare occurrence. Environment: The motorbikes downstairs were incredibly loud! It's right by the road, and because the hotel is next to a crossroads, it's extremely noisy. You could hear motorbikes roaring even in the middle of the night, making it impossible to sleep. The soundproofing is also terrible; you can clearly hear people talking when they walk past your door. If you're a light sleeper, be very careful about staying here! Sanitation: The cleanliness itself was quite good. Facilities: The environment is also great, aside from the flaws mentioned above, everything else is pretty good, especially the excellent location. It's only a 5-minute walk to the subway station. Service: The front desk staff were all very friendly, warm, and helpful."

"The hotel is wonderful. The staff of the hotel are kind and professional.the breakfast is rich and delicious. Especially, the traffic is very convenient and helpful. We go to almost all sightseeing places from the hotel conveniently and rapidly. The hotel is near by central train station of Rome and we can go to other cities conveniently. We come back Rome in June and we will book the hotel again."
