"Clean room"

Hotel Madison

8/10 Good

"Super convenient hotel. Literally across from the main train station Rome Termini. Near a super market and lots of restaurants. The hotel set up is a little strange, they use physical keys and request that you leave it, the room numbers are so messed up, its like a maze. You pay for the proximity and location."

Excellence Suite

10/10 Excellent

"Both receptionists we spoke too were very lovely, answering all of our questions about amenities. Although breakfast was not provided, it allowed us to explore different caffès and try different foods! We had the Ferrari-themed room which was very cool! There were also different car-themed rooms including Fiat and Vespa. I plan on returning to Rome in the future and would definitely book with this establishment again!"
