Hotel Meridiana  

The people on recept desk were good especially Giovanni who was on night shift. His English was pretty good (much better than my Italian, I might say) and he was very friendly and helpful. I gave him a bottle of wine when we left in appreciation of his helpfulness. The room was a bit small but was in good condition. Everything worked. The hotel is at the end of a dead end street and so the traffic noise is dramatically minimized, especially from that from the infernal scooters and motor bikes. The biggest complaint I have about this place is that if we had had to use the air conditioning (we didn't) it would have cost an absolutely outrageous e15 (about $21/day) for it. There is no way that this charge reflects the cost to provide ac and as far as I was concerned it was just a potential source of additional revenue. Over the past three weeks we stayed in about 15 other Italian hotels and this is the only one with the extra charge for a/C. Therefore, summer travellers should give this hotel a miss if they don't change their policy re the a/C. The $110 room cost (for Sept) included breakfast (travellers should make sure that breakfast is included [colazione incluso] when they make their bookings at any hotels). However, this hotel is too small to have a breakfast room as many do and breakfast is brought to your room at your requested time. The breakfast is very Spartan being one croissant, one package of pre toasted "rusks", one pack of juice and one cup of coffee each. A very poor breakfast. If the option were available to reduce the price and not have breakfast included for, say, e8 per person, I would take it and eat elsewhere. Despite all this, I would stay at this hotel again if I wasn't traveling in the summer as it is in easy walking distance of the buses, trains and metro. Just don't try and get on these at rush hour!

The staffs were very kind. The room was very clean and new refurbishment. The location is nearby the main tourist objectives and you may walk to visit them.

Reasonably close to terminale train station and to some restaurants. Size of room reasonable. Rooms clean . staff were helpful when I spilt my breakfast tray.

Renovations at hotel. Outlook was awful ( rear rooms look into a very squalid back of hotel area and front rooms- onto noisy alley and workmen on scaffolding at 7 am. Noisy grotty alley that it was in. Reception on 1st floor with no lift. Breakfast was poor ( croissant stale and a machine or instant coffee and packet juice served on a tray in the room ). Noisy tv in reception area could be heard in rooms which are close to reception.

The hotel is very good from the beginning to the end. The man at the reception gave a lot of recommendations, gave map of Rome etc. The staff was very friendly. The breakfast was better than I expected - croissant, butter, cookies, jam and beautiful cappuccino. The breakfast delivers right in the room from 08:00 till 10:00. But, if you want to have breakfast at 09:00, order it for 08:30 - a little delay is normal for Italians :) But it's not uncomfortable. The room is very good for two-star hotel - very clean, very good bed, a lot of towels which were changing every day.

The best I liked was the breakfast in the room, poor but ok for beginning a day...Too close to the termini station.

The location is a bit dangerous at night. I will not choose this location if I'll be in Rome again with friends (girls), but for this time it was ok.. They did not change the sheets.. They changed them after our complaints.

Hotel is 10 minutes walk to Termini Train Station. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Tv didn't work.

Stayed only one night, no real opinion.

The hotel is very close to Termini Station (train station, bus stations and metro). Very clean, nice breakfast served directly to your room at an hour chose by you (between 8:00 and 10:00 am). There was some noise on the street, but not every night, depending on the people outside and their mood...but that happens a lot in this area (Termini Station) because it's full of hotels and restaurants. If you close the window you don't hear any noise from outside. Although it was very hot during the day, at night there was no need for AC. The hotel staff let us leave the luggage at reception in the last day. If we ever come back to Rome we would definitely choose Hotel Meridiana again.

Good breakfast, really close to the termini, big clean room, big nice bathroom, friendly employees especially Gionanni! It was all perfect!!!

The hotel staff is friendly and polite

If you leave the windows open(a/c costs 10 Euro more) there is noise coming from the dead end street with an echo.

I really liked this Hotel. There was one specific guy working the majority of our stay and he was so Great location, close to trainstation. I actually really enjoyed breakfast, there wasn't a lot but it was delivered right to your door on time and had something warm to drink, juice, and a pastry...enough to get your day started. It was so nice that ac was offered and totally worth the extra 10 euro per night (through my research that seems pretty typical of Rome).

Bathroom was a bit dirty, some mold in the shower and our room was right behind the check in counter so it could get a little noisey. Overall not deal breakers for me I felt safe and it was overall pretty clean except the shower. Shower was actually one of the bigger ones I had while traveling through Europe. Also the water would got from what ever temp it was at to extreme hot. Again, no deal breakers I would stay again.

It was a really nice hotel ,for the money that we pay, with great people that runs the hotel. We stayed 7 days and we hadn't any problem. The breakfast was good and the room always clear. We had great time to Rome and one of the reason is the nice hotel. i highly recomend the hotel to young people that doesnt look for luxury.

Too less services included in the price: for airco and wifi surcharges!
