Very friendly receptionist, Ruby welcomed us with a lot of information of activities, provided a map and gave us all the directions to the main attractions. We’ve got a free upgrade into an annex building around the corner, very nice, spacious and clean room. Quiet space. Walkable distance to all main interest points. I recommend this place and I would love to come back! Well done! Thanks.

This hotel served me well. Rooms are small but fine for the price. The location did not feel as bad to me as others say. There are now more police and security there than homeless people. Still, visitors will spend most of the time away from the area and the buses and metro make the rest of Rome accessible. Service was friendly and the no problems.

We were in Rome really in transit to other places in Italy, looking for a place convenient to the railroad, not really for the highlights of Rome. This place is incredibly convenient to the Termini, literally across the street. What we hadn;t fully appreciate was how easily from this spot we could get to anywhere in Rome. The taxi stand is right there, as is the Hop on/off bus, the regular bus, and the Metro. We knew this was not a destination place for food, but the desk at Ciao told us about a great Roman style restaurant in the are very popular with the locals. La Familia was so good and authentic we ate there twice (only Americans in the place, all locals otherwise) . What can I say - the staff were great, warm and friendly. Nothing fancy, but a good clean room, relatively quiet considering the location, and way better than we were expecting. We'll stay here again. Not for everyone, no restaurant, gym, pool etc. but perfect for our needs.

10/10 stay!

This hotel was amazing! Highly recommend! It has a good location next to Termini station, making getting to and from the airport easy as we did not need to lug our suitcases around Rome. Rooms come with a fridge and safe which are included in the brilliant booking. Air con was marvellous, especially coming in from walking around all day! The hotel staff were wonderful and so friendly, helped us with key information about Rome and gave us recommendations. Could not recommend it anymore.

Our hotel Ciao experience was very good. We were greeted and welcomed in such a lovely manner! Our room was spacious and clean. As was our bathroom. It felt safe and was quiet for the duration of our stay. Being across from the Roma Termini was so helpful and the staff were incredibly helpful in helping us plan our day in Rome. Our vouchers for a traditional Italian breakfast were very much appreciated and the dinner recommendations and reservations were excellent! The property may only be one star - but the staff are five stars for sure!!! Would definitely recommend for the budget conscious traveler.

A good simple "base camp" for the traveler who just needs somewhere to rest and recuperate after a long day's exploring. It's clean, has good internet, and the location across from the central terminal could not be more convenient. Also, the staff was all very cordial and helpful. It's not fancy, but I liked it. recommended.

Hosts were very friendly and the housekeeping is excellent. The beds were comfortable and the location is convenient. It is not the fault of the place that the Italian government is so inept they can't manage trash and homelessness near the train station. The area is FILTHY, garbage and human waste all over the streets. There are homeless people screaming outside the building almost all day and all night long.

Hotel Ciao is centrally located near the train station which is why I booked it. Looking at the photos of the rooms online did not match the room I received, which was very outdated and in need of repairs. The room I stayed in was the "triple" room. The bathroom shower did not drain so I had to turn off the water every 30 seconds and wait a few min before turning it back on. The shower curtain nearly touched the toilet, so you can visualize how small the bathroom was. Pretty inconvenient, as the floor was wet where one would put their feet to use the toilet. The staff members were nice and provided a voucher for a croissant and coffee at a nearby coffee shop which was appreciated. And they were flexible with check-out to be between 10 and 11AM which also was nice as it allowed for more time to explore. PROS: nice staff, good location, cafe voucher, clean room. CONS: outdated rooms, expensive for 1-star hotel ($200 CAD), issues with bathroom. Overall, I think you can find a better hotel for a similar price.
