Aphrodite - Rome, Italy 

"Great!"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
Being in Europe for the first time, I wasn't sure what to expect hotel-wise. I had heard the rooms were tiny, the bathrooms were tiny and the continental breakfasts were terrible. I was pleasantly surprised staying here! We stayed in a triple room, and were a bit confused when a pullout couch was the third bed... but otherwise the rooms were spacious, at least compared to some of the other hotels we ended up staying in. The bathroom was nice too. The shower was a little cramped, and there was no shelf to put our shampoo on, but that didn't really make much difference. We saw some of the other rooms that other members of our tour group were staying in, and all of them were clean and new looking. The breakfasts were basic, not the best we had, but the croissants were good, especially the whole wheat ones (when they brought them out). As a bonus, this hotel was in a great location (Right across the street from Termini) so it was very easy to get around the city. The area itself is a little seedy, but what do you expect for being so close to the central train station? Also, this hotel had an elevator, which I later learned was not all that common in a budget hotel. We got spoiled for 6 days!

We had a wonderful 5 days in Rome. The hotel was superbly located near the Metro, so travel to anywhere in Rome was on the doorstep. And only 1 euro to travel anywhere. Make sure you request a room at the back of the hotel so you are not on the main road. Our room was spacious and quiet, and cleaned to an excellent standard every day. The staff were very helpful. Breakfast is good enough, but basic. It's worth booking excursion tours, but check prices and compare.

TRAVELING ALONE-GREAT LOCATION RIGHT BY THE TERMINI FOR TRAINS, METRO AND ACCESS TO THE AIRPORT-ELEVATOR IS A PLUS

Handily located for the trains/coaches to and from the airport. We arrived over one hour before check in time but our room was available. Areas around major railway stations attract 'colourful' characters and this is no exception but never felt uncomfortable, just watch your pockets as you would do anywhere in any city. Breakfast poor, other than that couldn't fault Hotel Aphrodite.

We came for a week to the hotel. Excelent location near the Metro with transportation to anywhere in Rome and a direct train from/to De-Vinchi airport. Lovely crow and good prices (we came in end Oct.-begining of Nov.). Breakfast was very nice. Only problem we heard the water pipe that was behind the wall all the time.
