Hotel Orlanda

We arrived here around 11:00 a.m. after a train trip from Florence. I had booked this hotel for our final night in Rome mostly due to its close proximity to the Termini Station – about 2 short blocks away. Finding the hotel was initially a moderate challenge. I had the street # (76) and found that on a sign. This was above an entry into a courtyard, from which at least 2 other hallways branched out. Then there was a list of around 4 hotels, which apparently were each on a different floor. I had not seen a configuration like this before. The elevator was small – it could accommodate 2 people or 1 person and 2 bags at a time. It took us 3 trips to get up to floor 3. The lady who greeted us at the front desk was quite helpful. Our room was ready in 15 minutes (which was a pleasant surprise). We unpacked somewhat and did our airline check-in, as she had offered to print our tickets at the desk. The room itself seemed relatively big. There was plenty of space for suitcases. The bathroom was small, and the shower stall was an afterthought (sort of a 3’x3’ closet, though it did keep the water in). The area around the hotel had plenty of restaurants and café’s though it seemed a bit rougher then, areas another 5 to 10-minutes’ walk away. They did have a coffee maker that worked during business hours. The front desk was staffed from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and they had an after-hours call #. This hotel served our needs for a final jumping-off point for returning home.

Hotel Orlanda is well-situated a 5-minute walk from Termini station and is also walking distance from several of Rome's main attractions.The rooms were clean (and ready earlier than expected) and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. As a 2-star hotel it is good for travellers on a budget and, although of course lacking some of the features of more luxurious places, we were pleasantly surprised and could easily have believed it to be at the 3-star level.

The staff was nice. I mainly booked this hotel due to its distance to the station. It was tolerable for 2 nights stay. Very noisy and dirty area. Not worth the price.

No blankets, AC is not working and area is so noisy we couldn’t sleep at the night

Very friendly staff, and they attended to every request promptly. The room was very clean, as was the bathroom. The only thing we would have liked to have in the room was a kettle! Location is excellent as far as being close to the train station, and being in the historical centre. Thank-you Hotel Orlando!

The hotel is in a great location near the train station. The check in was fast, the clerk spoke English, the room was exactly what I needed.

Fridge could have been colder. But bed excellent and room clean. Caterina in reception was fantastic. Helped us immensely.
