Hotel Royal Santina - Rome, Italy 

We felt the deal we got at the Royal Santina was worthwile compared with (atleast the presentation of ) other hotels in the same street. The Royal Santinas location is right near the back entrance to the termini station (where you can get buses/metro to anywhere) however there were no decent restaurants near the hotel. Staff we're as straight faced as the majority of Romans we encountered but were pleasant and helpful. The rooms were cleaned everyday but the halls smelt faintly of cigarettes and there were a few burns/holes in some of the sheets. The bed was uncomfortable but we may have just been unlucky. We enjoyed the bar and seriously recommend the "pasta and bacon" dish the hotel serve. As a young couple the hotel offered us everything we expected and provided a good base when we had been out pounding the streets of Rome all day and needed to rest. All in all, a good hotel experience!

Don't stay on this hotel! The furniture and the rooms are old, there is a smell of smoke everywhere in the hotel, no matter how much time you leave the windows open. The chief of the restaurant kicks you off it if you arrive near to 10h30m (on a decent hotel, you enter the restaurant and finish the breakfast without being bothered if you arrive before it closes). The location is nice. However, there is a hundred hotels near the Termini Station in Rome. You can make a better deal staying somewhere else paying probably even less than you would pay for this trash place.
