Visited here at the end of 2009 on a backpacking trip around Europe with a friend. The price is unbeatable for the location, very central - 2mins from the main train and bus terminal, 10 mins to the colosseum, 15 mins to the Spanish steps. We arrived at about 9am on a night train, the Signora who runs this place... More

I stayed here a long time ago, in October, 2003 (not 2010). It was very cheap, 25 euros plus 2 for breakfast, which was quite good (coffee, juice, 2 big loaves of bread, jam, butter and Nutella). Signora Silvia, the nice old owner, even added a piece of fruit, just for me, when I told her I was traveling on... More

We came across this hotel just by chance and would highly recommend it for travellers on a budget. The quirky owner is a really nice man with a kind heart. He speaks good english and is happy to help out whenever you need it. The rooms are big and airy and the bathrooms clean and functional. If you want to... More

-The Church bell rings constantly around 6am. -The beds are extremely uncomfortablle. -The customer service is the worst I have ever come by. -The staff is not helpful with directions, sites, or anything concerning our stay. -The bathrooms were really dirty, not messy, but dirty. -If you are expecting internet, don't. -Make sure that you make it on time.

I read the mixed reviews so was a bit apprehensive, but with the good price I decided to go for it and stay there. My partner and I stayed there for 4 nights. It was clean, had a good location right by Termini train station and just around the block from an internet place. The mother and her son (I... More

I really wanted to like this place because the older woman running it is so sweet. Loved her. Unfortunately she was the only highlight. Her son was a pain. He is like the Bill Heder character on SNL who interviews in Italian. The room was fine, but had to keep window open in hot summer and I got so many... More

I had the best time in Rome and I put some of that experience down to the hassle free Pensione Giamaica attitude. The owner and his mother were very good at giving us information when we were a little confused/ lost but also leaving us to our own devises when we went off exploring. If your looking for 5 star...

The hotel is less than 5 minutes from the train station but is on the 5th floor and the lift was not working while we were there. It is at least 20 minutes walk to the major attractions (forum, coluseum, etc...). The room was very cold an night in February and we had no control over the heat. The shared... More

My mother and I stayed here and we both very much enjoyed our stay. Our hosts were great and warned us of the do's and don'ts although we did get pickpocketed on the subway. The location was perfect for us to catch buses and trains. Small markets and shops to purchase water, food and wine!! Internet cafes just around the... More
