Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with several reports of mould, sewer smells, insects, or inconsistent towel changes alongside many mentions of tidy rooms. The historic building appeals to many, but expect a very small elevator, some windowless rooms, and centrally controlled AC or temperature adjustments via reception. Breakfast options are limited or inconsistent, and luggage storage may be unsecured. Overall, this is a simple, good-value base for sightseeing rather than lingering in the room.

Way too understaffed. Elevator was broken and we had to climb the spiral stairs carrying our luggage up the whole way. No bellman to help and no luggage carts. They need maps of the hotel ( it was a maze locating our room) and general info given at check in. We couldn’t figure out even how to turn in lights. The A/C shuts off in the middle of night, therefore couldn’t rest in the warm temps.

We stayed at this location due to the close proximity of the train station. We arrived a little early, but the front desk agent was able to accommodate us and only had to wait about 30-40mins for a room. The building is old of course, but has been renovated. At first it seemed unbearable with the room temp, but we called and the front desk quickly changed our temp from the min of 25C to a min of 15C. Staff didn’t provide much information, but they were nice when we had questions.

Cute affordable hotel that was close to termini station and easy to find with google maps. Only a 10 minute walk with luggage. They did have luggage storage which was great since we arrived at 10am and checkin wasn’t til 3pm. Beds/pillows were clean and comfortable. Bathroom could use a deep clean as there was a lot of mildew in the shower. In room coffee was a lifesaver for our 5am departure. It suited our needs for one nite after returning from our cruise

The staff are great! We loved the area. It’s the perfect spot close to restaurants, churches and shopping. The hotel is located in a small street with cobblestone. Simply beautiful. The cleaning lady is very thorough! The downfall are the tiny elevators, one luggage at a time. The stairs are very large and wide. The hotel has the cutest seating areas on both levels. The only issue we had was the air conditioning. The front desk controls it upon your request. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return again.

We stayed over the long weekend Republic holiday. One safety/security notice that I recommend the property to change: if you arrive early, the luggage storage is not in a locked room and unmanaged. We took our valuables with us and left our clothes in the room, but we did have some concerns since we were there for the long weekend and we were worried about petty crime. The location felt safe enough, it is a little further away from main attractions, but you can choose to take the Metro or Bus, with stations that are about 10-12min walk away. The AC was cool (max down to 20°C). Good shower and beds.

This property was close to the Termini. It was perfect for needing to walk there. The area was nice. The room was on the smaller side, but for what we needed it for (drop our things, explore the city, then come back and sleep), it was perfect. The tiny elevator was a fun surprise.

Hotel location was quiet and close to the supermarket and cafes. The hotel offers free luggage storage which is nice. However, it is basically an unattended room easily accessible to anyone. I felt slightly uneasy as a maintenance worker walked by as we dropped things off, as there is no physical staff there. I question the thoroughness of the cleaning staff as we found a hat from the previous guest in our closet space. There were a few old stains in the walls and our sheets were pilling. Also, we had to call reception twice to get our air conditioning turned on. To top it off, the button to our toilet got stuck a few times which we would have to remove the actual panel to reset! Overall I would definitely not stay here again; thankfully we were only here for a couple of nights and were out most of the day.

I was in between travels and I needed a quite night sleep near termini station so i could recharge before my other travels. Unfortunately I did not slept at all. The smell of Sewerage coming from the toilet was so intense I didn't make me feel confortable and having the sleep and rest I was looking for :(

A great location and helpful staff. Downside for us was the room cleanliness or rather the lack of. The floors were very dirty, the shower had significant mould, the kettle didn’t work even if there had been tea supplies provided. Disappointing given the price we paid.

Very itchy qithin about a day. I suspected bedbug bites. Looked under sheet and around mattress but did not look very long.

Ao chegarmos no horário adequado de check in o quarto não estava limpo. Solicitei um novo quarto e apesar de estar "pronto para uso" estava com o chão muito sujo, presença de sujeira entre os lençóis na cama e paredes sujas. O hotel não tem café da manhã o que não havia ficado claro no momento da reserva. Não recomendo.

The location is very central to a lot of restaurants. It is in walking distance to the colosseum and Roman forum. Note however the roads leading to the hotel are often crowded and might be a downhill/uphill journey so practically it is not easy to walk with large suitcases. As for the hotel itself , some front desk staff are a little more helpful than others. One the first day of check in our WiFi didn’t work but the problem was fixed and the bathroom had no toilet paper but once we called the front desk that was resolved. I had a standard room , if you are just looking for a place to sleep as opposed to lounging all day in the room for comfort then the room is fine for that purpose. The showers are EXTREMELY small . I am 5ft 2inch at 140lbs and could barely find room to turn in the shower or close the shower door. So if you are a person of a larger body size this might not be the room for you ( not sure if a higher room categories have larger showers)

El baño muy incómodo, muy pequeño. El lavabo casi está dentro de la regadera. No hay espacio para entrar o salir a la regadera. Solo nos dieron una llave del cuarto y como íbamos 2 personas, nos causó inconvenientes. El regulador del aire acondicionado no funcionaba, el primer día el cuarto estuvo muy frío y los siguientes 2 días estuvo muy caliente. En la recepción decían que lo iban a componer y nada

The location is super convenient — you can walk everywhere, and the space itself is just the right size. The only downside is that the shower room is extremely small — it’s hard to move around in there.

There’s nothing we didn’t like about this hotel except the bathroom was a little tight. We’ve noticed that in most of our hotels over the last few weeks but what was really frustrating is that there’s no shelf or holder in the shower to put soap or shampoo or anything. So you have to put it on the floor or keep opening the doors to reach something. Sounds minor but we stayed there for 4 nights so it was a little frustrating with such a small space. Otherwise this hotel was great.

The room was quiet, clean, spacious by European standards, lots of hot water, fridge was cold, bed was comfortable, air conditioning was quiet and worked perfectly. Good value for the money. We really liked the area. We would definitely return.

On the second day of our trip, we entered our room to find a random maintenance worker (not hotel staff), in our room (bathroom with door open) working on the shower. We did not ask for any maintenance work to be done, and were never notified by anyone at the hotel that this would be taken place. When we went to inquire at the front desk as to why there was someone in our room, the women at the front desk said “oh, my colleague didn’t tell you?” And then processed to say that they don’t know when their maintenance guy comes and when he does they get him to do work in varies rooms, an unacceptable response in my opinion. We were also then told we could not use our shower for the remainder of the day, which we had come back to our room specifically to do. There were multiple ways they could have notified us of this (phone, email, note, etc.). I also had an engagement ring in my room, and stuff had been moved around in the room and bathroom. When I asked the women at the front desk how this can be rectified, I was told to send an email to the manager, which I did immediately but have yet to receive a response (it has been 4 days now). Completely unacceptable. The room itself was very small (2 people max). The area around the hotel is nice and it is centrally located, however I cannot get over the fact that a random person was allowed in our room without being notified at all. Would not recommend this property, as there are numerous others in the same area.

It was fine. Nice that it was close to the train station, however the air conditioning wouldn’t work, the front desk was super unhelpful and just said they could see that it was on, on their system. There was also an alarm pad and fire alarm that was blinking all night. Saying “help” I asked the front desk about this too and they just shrugged it off. So we covered it with tape and a cloth, and tried to ignore the one on the ceiling. Very dirty out front, piles of dog poop on the road and front steps, entrance was in an alley or skinny street, did not feel the safest. So all in all, fine for one night, but we will not be staying there again.

This was a unique boutique style property with many comforts- air conditioning- comfortable bed. Ali was one of the best hotel front desk agents we have had on our trip to date. He was welcoming and was so excited to share all of the must not miss spots around the area. We highly recommend this property if you are planning a stay to Rome. 10 minutes from the main train station ' 20+ minutes to the Colosseum and other attractions.

Location
Central spot near Termini and the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, walkable to the Colosseum and served by metro and buses, with many restaurants nearby. The immediate side street can feel less pleasant or busy, and some sights are a longer walk.

The place is at the city center. 2 mins walk to the bus stop to most of the places. 8 mins walk to Termini. It’s a nice hotel with friendly staff. We were 2 adults and a kid. Rooms are bit small but quite cozy.

This hotel was walking distance to most of the major sites. Coliseum, Trevi Fountain, Roman Forum, Piazza Fenezia. Lots of options for food and drink. Beautiful street.

Excellent. My room had a beautiful view of Santa Maria Maggiore's dome. Room was nice and comfortable with a great memory foam mattress. Convenient location for walking to other sights like the above cathedral and not too far from the Colloseum and Domus Aurea

This property is fantastic. It’s a close 5min walk from the Roma Termini station, it’s quiet, one street back from main road and has so many options for food and drinks. It’s also well located to walk from to almost all the main attractions around Roma.

Couldn't beat the location. Close to Termini station and basically everything. Able to walk to the Coliseum and pretty much everywhere if you don't mind walking. Seemed safe to me.

Relais Sta Maria Maggiore was very conveniently located being less than 10 minutes walk to Termini station and around the corner from the papal basilica from which the hotel takes its name. Lots of restaurants in the area which is important as there is no kitchen at the hotel. Staff were friendly and the cleaners did a good job. Access to the hotel is off a side street that is quite dirty as the litter bins are kept there. There was a lot of noise from the recycling collection bins in the wee hours as our room was on that side.

If your plan is to use this hotel for touring Rome - and Rome as a base for nearby places, hotel is excellent. 5 mins to the main railway station, 5 mins to three Metro lines, places to eat, drink and two supermarkets. In my opinion, this may not be the right place for a family with very young children. The hotel can be quiet "busy" both last thing at night and first thing (from 0600) in the morning. The area surrounding is also busy with tourists, people in restaurants and people passing by. But, I would 100% stay again. Great place, clean and the AC worked perfectly. A brilliant place to see Rome and the local area from!

Breakfast is inconsistent: some guests received a limited selection or none despite expectations, while others found it adequate. Several noted the buffet was cancelled or very basic.

The room and location were good, however our booking included breakfast for a 5 night stay. We chose the hotel because it provided a buffet breakfast. The hotel stated it had internal problems so could not longer provide buffet breakfast. OK problems happen...BUT no apology, no warning email, just some packets of biscuits and a box of orange juice in the room instead. We complained and the hotel would only compensate us 2euro per person per day for breakfast which was not enough to replace what we were missing out on, fresh food etc. They prioritised their profit over understanding that this was disappointing and an inadequate solution. The Hotel Manager adamant that we had not paid 'extra' for breakfast therefore didn't not deserve any more compensation. On the plus side Hotels.com customer service were excellent and helped us out.

Estivemos hospedados por 4 noites e a experiência foi excelente. O quarto é confortável e muito limpo. O atendimento também é excelente. O hotel fornece um café da manhã muito satisfatório, considerando o padrão europeu, que estava incluído na diária. A localização do hotel também é muito boa! Fica a 8 minutos de caminhada da estação Termini, estação onde chega o trem do aeroporto Fiumicino, a 10 minutos a pé do Coliseu, a 6 minutos do metrô e de vários pontos de ônibus.

Es un mentirá el desayuno que ofrecen en línea, nosotros reservamos en ese hotel por qué ofrecían buen desayuno pero sorpresa solo es pan y café. No hay opción a nada más En el cuarto para poder pasar de un lugar a otro tienes que hacer espacio con tu pareja o familiar, demasiado pequeño y muy mal planeado los espacios de baño y cuarto sobre todo el baño Sobre el lugar donde se encuentra recomiendo más estar más cerca del coliseo o fontana di Trevi, ya que para caminar por roma es muy cansada ya qué hay muchas calles con subidas y puede ser cansado desde el lugar donde se encuentra el hotel El personal amable pero no todos te tratan igual

Really good stay at the Relais Santa Maria Maggiore. The staff was fantastic and helped us out when our room air conditioning wasn’t working. They were very responsive and did everything they could to make sure our room was what we needed. The location of the property is great and you’re central and easy to walk to all of the main attractions.
