Hotels Near Via Merulana in Rome

This is the best option for hostel stay in Roma. I was in a 4-bed dorm room, and all beds had sliding doors for extra privacy. When not being used the beds could also be locked from outside. There was a storage drawer under the bed which was very spacious and could be locked using the same key as the bed. The ensuite bathroom was good, but the door didn't seem to close tightly enough, in my opinion, even though the lock worked fine. This was the only negative of my stay really, but the impact wasn't high as I had considerate room-mates. I used the kitchen quite a bit to heat food, and although I didn't participate in staff organised meals, these were a nice touch. The hostel had a secure entrance as well, which I appreciated. The location was really nice too - about a 15-minute walk away from the Roma Termini station. And in the walking distance there are several fantastic restaurants for every budget. I particularly enjoyed a nice Bangladeshi one that was only a 15 minute walk away from the hostel. There was also a huge supermarket about 5min away that I didn't need to use, but appreciated its proximity anyway. Had a great experience overall, and I would stay here again.

It can give very high marks for the convenience and accessibility of transportation. What is more impressive, however, is that the friendly smiles and hospitality of the staff were received smoothly. The cleanliness and facilities of the rooms are quite good, but the rooms are not spacious. There are several tourist attractions around the hotel. It is also easy to access major tourist destinations. However, the most impressive thing that this hotel gave me was the hospitality and smile at front desk. Even though it is a short time, it is not easy to make a good impression like this. This is the case when soft power made the hard power shine more. The hotel's management strategy is impressive in that smart power was exercised. From the guest's point of view, there was nothing special, but it is a hotel that you can definitely leave with a good impression.

I'm sure that each of us has his own scale of factors to evaluate whether a place is beautiful or ugly but that the added value is the people. In this clean, nice and very comfortable hotel, near the Roma Termini station, it is precisely the people who make a small hotel a point of reference for our trips to Rome. Paola from the reception was, and is, the person who followed us during the booking process and who went out of her way to help us project our photographs on a wall, in a small room set up just for us, a small group of photographers arrived in town for a two day photography course. Thanks Thanks Thanks dear Paola, you are invaluable for the hotel and for the people who stay with you.. an infinite thanks from all of us. Federica

Our stay at the Hotel Archimediocre was strange to say the least. The hallways and common areas were fairly nice, and the breakfast was okay. However the rooms were a rather different story. Our room was shared between three, and two of the beds were pushed up against each other so we had to essentially share a bed. The sheets and towels were unclean and there was hair all over them, suggesting they hadn’t been cleaned properly. My sheets also had holes in them. The shower was inconvenient, as there was no shower curtain and no plug, so we had to take showers sitting down in the bath (which was stained). The privacy was limited. Our window looked out onto a utility area which was very dirty. The utility area also seemed to be used as a smoking spot for the staff. However, since the window was not airtight, the smell of cigarettes filled our room frequently. What’s more, our blinds didn’t close all the way and we saw the staff looking into our room through the window several times. Our friend’s door handle fell off the door too, which made opening and closing the room difficult. The air conditioning was functional, however it made our room smell disgusting. Since our trip was in the spring this was not too much of an issue, but had we travelled a few months earlier this would have been another story. The staff were not unkind but neither were they overly warm. However, the location of the hotel was good, and our stay overall was not too bad.

We stayed here over the May 1st long weekend, we had coupons for three nights which still included an increase for this period, and obviously we weren't expecting luxury, but I was disappointed by some aspects and I'm writing this review in a somewhat conflicted way . On the plus points, the location is certainly excellent, excellent for transport, you can easily reach the metro and buses, as well as the station, and once you have learned the streets even the center or the main monuments are not that far away on foot (from 10 minutes to 20). At the hotel they were also kind enough to keep our luggage for us even after check out, because we had the train in the late afternoon, so as not to wander around all day with our backpack on our shoulders. The room was ok, clean and just the right size, only the bathroom was a little small and without a bidet, but for a few days you could be satisfied. The disappointment concerns the services. At the reception we waited outside the door for 20 minutes because the doorbell didn't work and I had to call on the phone several times. The manager was never seen except at check out and we almost never found anyone in the hotel... before 9am and from 3pm there isn't a living soul... we didn't receive any information or suggestions regarding travel or places to visit or where to eat, or about events... no practical indications... in reality we felt quite abandoned to ourselves... The only suggestion is a bar to have breakfast on the last day and one of the most expensive in the city.... The linen in the room was changed only on request.... No agreements with bars and restaurants, and being a bed & breakfast it could be useful... moreover, Rome is undoubtedly a large city and you cannot expect to reach everything in a few minutes on foot, but once you learn shortcuts and the right streets you can also get around quite quickly, perhaps it would be enough to take a road on the right rather than the left... it's a shame that we only understood this on the last day... if we had had more directions perhaps we would have avoided so many unnecessary km... and we would have seen more things... Having said that, it remains a good solution for the location but customer care definitely needs to be reviewed which is why I think the prices are a little over the top...

It was an extended weekend family trip, so this hotel was a good fit since it was not all that far away from some interesting things, and it was priced reasonably. The room was spacious, with a plain design making it a little ugly, but it was clean and well cared for. Our view was of the apartments in the opposite buildings, but we got our views elsewhere. The bathroom was OK even if the shower doors did not close properly. They cleaned the room daily and left fresh towels, even if we did not ask for. What was really bad was the soap/shampoo that they offered. Not that it smelled bad or anything but it reminded me of the soaps hotels had in the 80s The common are was almost always busy, but the people were respectful and friendly, and left the place clean. The wifi was fast, even when using VPN like I did. Breakfast was nice, with a lot of choices and interesting flavors. But the coffee was really bad. You do not expect that in Italy, but it was from an automatic machine that made different kind of coffees, so the result was bad. The people that worked there were always smiling, were friendly and eager to help, which is something that always helps when you are staying in a foreign country. The hotel is next to a police station and the immediate area felt safe, even at night. There are homeless people close by but they never bothered us. There is also a metro station within walking distance. All in all, we had a pleasant stay and it is a great choice for a brief family vacation

Location is amazing, walking distance to Termini train Station. Metro and Busstop 200m. Very clean, good breakfast although Coffee was cold one morning. Has A/C and a small fridge, didnt use it though. Stated in a Single room w a Single bed, very comfy. Shower is very small so a 'bigger' person might have problems to get in the shower. WLAN works perfectly. Stuff is nice. Restaurants are close. Stated 3 nights it was perfect for a City Trip.

With the expectation that this is a guest house (not a hotel), we were duly impressed with the amenities and cleanliness of this place. It is ideally located at Piazza Barberini (next to Metro stop, by the Triton fountain, and across the street from pick up of Rome hop-on/ hop-off bus), with a cafe across the street and several restaurants, pharmacy, bank nearby. It is about a 10-15 leisurely walk to Trevi Fountain, so location is attractive for tourists like us. We travelled as a family (2 adults, 1 child) and we were assigned a triple room overlooking the courtyard (very quiet at night, even for my husband who is a light sleeper). The central air conditioning was amazing, especially in the summer heat. The housekeeping is exceptionally prompt ( we would return after lunch for a siesta and the beds are made, bathroom cleaned, fresh towels available). While they don’t have breakfast onsite at this time, we are able to buy breakfast vouchers for 3 euros for the cafe across the street (this is the discounted rate since the same breakfast is €4.50 without a voucher). This was a quick breakfast type: cappuccino and a cornetto (croissant with Nutella or jam). If you want an American breakfast, that is also available at said cafe. Prior to check-out, the front desk arranged for our airport transfer (€65 van pick up). Alternatively, folks can walk to the taxi stand across the street (€50 standard tariff for airport drop off by taxis) but we had someone with mobility issues so pickup in front of the guest house was ideal. Other amenities included basic soap and body wash, in-room safe, water bottles when we first arrived and small refrigerator inside our room. There is also a vending machine near the front desk for additional water/juice and coffee vending machine (you will need coins- it was maybe 85 cents for a small coffee). There is a nearby PAM grocery we frequented for bottled water and other supplies. Overall, a memorable stay and we hope to back again soon.

This hotel was a disappointment. I stayed there for four nights this easter for my first trip to Rome. I choose this hotel because it was central and medium high ranked, but the only positive thing was the location. It sits centrally located near the Pantheon and most things are in walking distance. However, to even get into the hotel you need to go through a police checkpoint since the hotel is opposite to the parliament building across the piazza. Still that’s not the problem. Although the hotel has a shiny reception the rest of the hotel is worn and not living up to its reputation. The rooms are worn down and though cleaned things doesn’t seem quite clean. The the bed was squeaky and barely holding together. The bathroom shower was broken and the bathroom altogether tiny. Breakfast was another disappointment. Although it had a basic, not continental thought, composition, they always ran out of food before breakfast time was over. The croissants were burnt, the eggs badly overcooked and the cheese dry. Not very pleasant. So the only thing that was positive was the location. Still there is a hundred other hotels with the same location and I can’t imagine them being as bad as this. Spend your money elsewhere.

No wordt, just go there, you Will have no remarks to make . Good location, perfect sanitary, excellent services, Nice restaurant, friendly staff, what Else do you want, i Will surely recommend if you plan tot visit Firenze
