Assisi

( 2 stars , Rome , Italy )

+ location near Termini station, good breakfast - small bathroom, noise from courtyard and sounds from other rooms

Nice, clean, secure, 2 blocks to Termini train station and metro. Lots of restaurants. Breakfast was cordial and good variety for continental. Expresso with breakfast! I liked the Peruvian around the corner. Amici brothers bar across the street great for digestif. Area is a bit run down, but seemed quite safe.

I had a great time. Hotel Assisi was perfect for me, a single traveller looking for a clean and affordable Hotel. The Single room was perfect for one person and the Hotel was very clean. Rabby at the front desk treated me with respect and was very friendly. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

It was confusing to approach from the station and find a doorbell for Assisi and Urbe. I rang and had no answer; I just entered when people went out. Then I saw that the regular hotel lobby, with its own entrance, was on the ground floor one door down. This was booked on Venere and guaranteed with a credit card, so it was surprising to find that the hotel didn't take credit cards; I don't remember seeing anything about it at the time of reservation. They told me the night before my departure and I just had one night to pay; it could be a problem if staying more nights.

The hotel is nice enough, but the price seems relatively too high. Very pleasant the employees.

Hotels seem very expensive in Rome, this seemed at the cheaper end, we paid 180 euros for a room for 4 people in October 2007. For a 2 star hotel this was excellent, we had a super time and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

the near position to railway- and busstation is very good the breakfast is not so good only with a lot of words it was possible to pay the hotel with amex-card - but that should be a normally service

Rooms were clean. Bed was in good shape, not worn out as in some other hotels. Shower worked well. In-room safe at no extra charge was a nice touch. Only down side of room was the ceiling fan. No A/C in this hotel so you need a ceiling fan. The ceiling fan had a loose bearing or something and made way too much noise to use while sleeping.This seems to be a common problem thruout hotels in Europe! Hotel was less than 5 minute walk from train station and subway. The area was comprised of mostly first and second generation immigrants from various countries. We felt safe as usually many people on streets. Lots of budget restaurants in area including two right outside front door of hotel. Food was as good as much more expensive restaurants in tourist areas. There are no "sights" close to hotel but subway is less than 5 minute walk. We paid 65 euros and would rate it as solid value for the money.

My partner and I have just returned from 4 nights in Rome. We found Assisi to be an excellent place to stay and they delivered on everything they promised. Our room was surprisingly large (having just arrived from Paris), as was the bathroom. The room was relatively modern and the bathroom had recently been refurbished. It is located a couple of minutes walk from the Termini Station making it very accessible to all of the city sights. For the keen 'walkers' you could probably walk to a lot of the main attractions. The breakfast was good and the staff very helpful. We arrived fairly late at night and checked in with minimal fuss. The termini station area in general may be a little daunting to a single female traveller at night. My only complaint would be that our rooms air conditioning did not work (there was a ceiling fan), and Rome is very warm at this time of year. All in all Assisi was a very good place to stay for the rate (85 per night/double) and I would definitely go back. You can also catch a bus that goes directly from Rome Ciampino Airport to the termini train station for 6 Euros, making it very convenient to get to from the airport.

The front desk said they would open the breakfast bar for us earlier than 7 because we needed to catch a very early train. They told us they would open it at 5:30 for us so we could eat before our departure. However, when we came down to the front desk, we were told that this message was not communicated and we were not able to have breakfast at the hotel. I was upset because breakfast was included in the price and we had been promised breakfast the night that we checked in. Also, the map on the website should be more detailed. We took a roundabout way to get to the hotel from the train station as according to the map, when we could have simply taken two different streets and would have arrived at the hotel immediately. There was also some street noise in the late hours of the night. Other than these things, the room was fine and so was the service.
