With our 12 year old, my wife and I loved this modestly priced non-tourist-urban setting, with a balcony overlooking the street, with its electric trolley and bus stop right at the hotel door, and small, old, but quick and reliable wire caged elevator. Our room was simple but very clean and spacious, with all the amenities, and other rooms, as... more

I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this hotel. While not the prettiest hotel, it was scrupulously clean almost to a fault - they would gently straighten my things on the bathroom counter or nightstand when cleaning around them. The staff was friendly and eager to help or answer any questions you had, even if it took some linguistic... more

I stayed in a triple room for four nights back in December 2007 with my sister and brother-in-law, and we all had a very pleasant experience at this hotel. This is a 2-star budget hotel, but it's an excellent value. CONS: (1) The hotel is located on a busy street, but it is dark and very urban, not neighborhood-y at... more

Not a nice part of town! We spent the beggining of our vacation in Venice, Florence, and Greve in Chianti and stayed in some great places with amazing scenery. So needless to say I was very disappointed upon arriving at our hotel. The streets smelled like urine and there were many homeless on the streets. The building was old and... more

My husband and I stayed here in September 2008. I really wasn't expecting too much after reading the other reviews on tripadvisor. When we arrived at the front door I was as tad concerned (as i'm a travel egent and use to staying in very decent hotels), so I was already thinking about looking for an alternative hotel to stay... more

We were on a budget and chose the Principe because it was affordable for Rome. You get what you pay for. The breakfast was easily the worst of the 4 hotels we were at in Italy. The entry was unique, with a fair amount of stairs, no lift and buzzing from outside to be let in. There was however a... more

If you're a budget traveller with no great expectations about the place you stay in, then I'm sure this hotel would suffice. It's certainly close enough to Termini and a metro station and, although basic, it's clean enough. However, we were very disappointed - and it still cost E115 per night. But breakfast. Really, there's no excuse for packet toast,... more

we wanted a fairly cheap couple of days and this hotel was perfect - its clean, well placed and the family who run it speak reasonable english and are welcoming and helpful. we arrived late friday evening - took the bus from the airport and then a taxi from the main termini which was a sensible move - would have... more

We were schedule to stay here on our return to Rome. Our first stop in Rome was at the Best Western Canada Hotel. During our first stay we decided to check out this hotel. It was in a different area near Termini station than the Best Western. The area was unappealing, even during the day - covered in graffiti and... more
