Cheap Hotels in Rome

"It's extremely old, feels like it's 50 years old. The whole of Rome feels very old, and the area around the train station isn't great either. The ground is very difficult to navigate, there's a big landfill, and many homeless people. Every day when I leave, I encounter feces. The hotel itself also feels 50 years old; it's barely habitable. However, the staff are very friendly and always smiling."

"I actually quite liked the classical style, and the room was very spacious. The toiletries were Acqua di Parma, and the location was very close to Termini Station and the Repubblica metro station, just a few minutes' walk – these were all definite plusses. What was particularly bad was the service. When checking in, there were two lines, and one of them had no one in it. The staff didn't seem to be doing anything. After waiting for a long time, I tried asking and it turned out they could process check-ins there, but it felt like they'd just ignore you if you didn't ask. Also, they didn't mention anything about breakfast times or anything else, whereas the other line, dealing with Americans, got all sorts of reminders and information. We actually speak decent English and had done some research, learned a few Italian phrases, and were very polite, so I'm not sure if it was a staff difference or what. The concierge at the front desk was similar; we arrived around 1 PM and were told rooms wouldn't be ready until 2:30 PM, so we needed to store our luggage. The luggage storage area was locked. The concierge didn't offer to take our luggage or open the door proactively. After we asked, he just opened the door expressionlessly, as if it was a huge effort. For our family of three, they added a small bed to the room. There was a connecting door in the wardrobe area to the adjacent room. Although it was locked, we heard the neighbor trying to twist the handle a few times at night, and it was quite loud. I'm pretty sure the other room was just curious, as I even tried twisting it myself to see how secure it was... but hearing that sudden noise in the middle of the night was unsettling. Breakfast was also very mediocre. The bread quality was average, the coffee was average, and the freshness of the fruit was noticeably worse than at the hotels we stayed at in Florence. It might offer decent value for money. You might want to consider what factors are most important to you before choosing this place."

"Unfortunately, the check-in experience was disappointing. The lady receptionist who checked us in on the evening of 29 Dec 2025 came across as quite rude when I asked about the room I had booked. I paid more for a specific room configuration (1 double bed + 1 single bed), but was instead given a smaller room with only a queen-size bed, which did not match my booking. While the hotel offered complimentary welcome drinks to compensate, there was still around €50 price difference compared to the room I originally booked, so the gesture didn’t fully make up for the inconvenience. That said, credit where it’s due — the male receptionist on the morning shift was very helpful and professional in assisting with settling the room arrangement. On a positive note, breakfast was the highlight of the stay — genuinely the best part 😝"

"The room is tidy and nice, the bathroom is clean, there is a large balcony, and the surrounding is quiet. There is a grocery store downstairs that is open until late, and there is a Carrefour a few hundred meters away. It is very close to the subway station. A bottle of water is given, and other things are charged. The only drawback is that the room is small, and the price is OK in Rome in summer"

"We have read so many reviews about this hotel some good some not that great. At the end I would like to say that forvthe money value and the location the hotel is great. The staff is very polite and helpful. The hotel inside is very antique I would say. The rooms are clean yes there are some imperfections but you dont come to Rome to stay all day in the room but to see the city. So my opinion its with it. Its literally 2 min walk from Train station Termini. If yiu want to have a good breakfast 4 min walk from the hotel there is a cafe washington. Amazing staff and quality of breakfast. If you want to have good quality of great pizza there is in a distance of 4 min walk restaurant Llangollen di Napoli. The staff is amazing and yhe food is great. The photos are not related to the hotel but to the places to go for good food."

"Ruby, Giulia is a great hotel in the heart of Rome close to Termini railway station. The hotel is very clean organized and it has all the amenities you need. A great team of staff that are always there whenever you need help. I wanna give a shout out to three individuals who made our stay so great one is Giuseppe, he upgraded our room and just genuinely a lovely guy. Second is Nada, she took her time out to give us a few recommendations about restaurants and life in Rome, etc. so a huge shout out to her. last but not least the manager Miks. He was so helpful after our data finished on our phones and we were leaving the next day. Thank you all Team Ruby!"

"Perfect location for travelers! Great location with easy access to buses and trains. It's very convenient for both sightseeing and getting to the airport. The nearby station is newly renovated—clean and feels safe. The rooms are clean and comfortable. A special thanks to the reception staff, who were very friendly and resolved my issues promptly. Highly recommended! The key card power switch in the room was a bit unresponsive. I had to reinsert the card multiple times to turn on the lights"

"The location near Roma Termini is incredibly convenient for getting to the airport or other cities. However, I found the facilities a bit dated. The 'duvet' was actually just a sheet and a blanket, and I even found a stray false eyelash on the blanket. That said, I'm not overly sensitive about hygiene, so I just tossed the blanket aside and made do. The soundproofing isn't great; you'd be unlucky if you had noisy neighbors at night. The area around the hotel is a bit iffy – lots of parked motorcycles and some homeless people – but the friendliness of the Italians made up for it."

"The room was quite spacious and matched the pictures online, with a double bed. If you're taking the airport shuttle bus, you just walk straight for about 150 meters after getting off, then turn left, and you're there. Turning left when you exit puts you right in front of the train station. The elevator is quite old-fashioned. It seems I actually stayed in a room belonging to the hotel next door, and I'm not sure how they differentiate between them."

"It was quite a challenging stay. The requests I made in the booking were completely ignored. Upon arrival, we had to change rooms, which seemed to upset the front desk staff quite a bit. A South Asian porter helped us with our luggage. I didn't have any small change, as I mostly pay with cards and rarely use cash, so I only gave him a 2 Euro coin as a tip. From that moment on, whenever he saw us, he showed absolutely no expression. I mean, it's not like I was going to give him a 200 or 500 Euro bill, right? Was it even worth that much? The hotel breakfast was excellent. The room, although not as good as the original one after the change, was still acceptable. The location is fantastic: just a few dozen meters from the train station, and there's an airport shuttle right outside. There are no issues with the location, and the area isn't as chaotic as some say. The only problem is that all the staff had rather cold and indifferent expressions, making you feel, for a moment, like you weren't even in Italy! I won't be staying here again, even with its many advantages. I just don't want to deal with their attitudes!"
