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 location was excellent with bars and restaurants close by. The staff were also very helpful.

There is no lift and breakfast is served in your room.

I like the price of this hotel and its location, because it's very convienvent! There is very good services and cleanliness of the rooms very-very good!!! Thank it very much.

very good value - adequate to price. Staff - lovely! :)

Location. Very close to the centre. Staff very friendly and helpful. Satisfying breakfast (croissant, toast & jam, coffee, juice, biscuits).

No elevator. The hotel is at the first floor and up. That's a little bit tiring when you carry laggage. Very old building. At first we were a little bit scary by the neighbourhood, but it was ok. Not very clean and old blankets. High prices compared with the room facilities. The mini bar was totally empty. Only one channel on tv. The room had a small balcony with a view at the neighbours' old and dirty balconies, and they were so close that you thought that someone would jump into your room at anytime. So you had to have the door closed all day. Taxes are not 2 euro per night. They asked us for 4!!

The location was great and the room was a good value for the area. A nice continental breakfast was delivered to the room at the desired time. The drapes and bedspread were a little dated, but the bathrooms were clean and in good working order. Wifi was available at a very reasonable price. All in all a good location on a quiet street near the train station that was priced well. Also the staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay.

The hotel staff was friedly and helpful and the atmosphere at the hotel was relaxed. The location is great near to Roma Termini, but still not noisy, because the hotel is located in the end of a small street. It was also comfortable that the breakfast was served to our room.

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.

we stayed in this hotel in August, 2011. We liked it's very good location: 5 minute walk to metro station Termini and to railway station Termini. We have very spacious room, that was cleaned every day. Rather good breakfast, for two stars hotel, was served directly to the room. By the way there is a very good restaurant "La Famiglia", near the hotel. Delicious cuisine, very friendly and polite staff, good value for the money.

The staff spoke English not good. But we know Italian so that it was not a problem.

The location of the hotel is very convenient, being only a few minutes walk from the train station, so it was easy to get there arriving on train and then it was easy to catch the underground or a tour bus into the centre of town. The journey into the centre of Rome only took a few minutes on the underground. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Room was clean and comfortable although a little squeezy for 3 people. No lift so had to carry cases upstairs but staff at desk assisted. A fridge in room was handy and air-con was an extra 10 Euros per night. Reasonably priced Ristorantes close by and only 5 mins walk to station and Hop on and Off buses. Language communication a little difficult but things were generally organised satisfactorily. Brekky delivered to room at time asked for(8 to 10 am).Generally quiet and relaxed atmosphere.WiFi not very good reception.

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.
