Hotels in Esquilino, Rome

This hotel is in an incomparable location for those wishing to travel to or from Termini Station and the Termini metro station. It is in close proximity to many first class sites, including the Baths of Diocletian, Santa Maria Maggiore, and Santa Pressede. The atmosphere within the hotel is modern and restful --worlds away from the gritty hustle and bustle outside its doors. The Superior Double room that we were given was of good size, quiet and was recently decorated with very lovely wood accents. The bathroom looked modern; however, the grout in the shower was already showing signs of age. This might be attributable to the fact that there was no fan in the bathroom. The breakfast was generous and good for the most part. I did, however, find it shocking that , rather than picking the coffee cup up by its saucer, the waiter picked up the cup by its top (yuck) in order to refill it, leaving the saucer on the table. Given the reasonable price point, this hotel provides a good and predictable night's stay.

- Room: A traditional apartment was converted into three rooms, with a small kitchen and a common area for each room. Each room is different and the space is quite large. In fact, it is more like a shared apartment. The room should have been newly renovated not long ago, and the facilities are OK, but it is not very soundproof. However, many European hotels are not soundproof either, so there may be no way. - Location: A love-hate location, very close to the train station, right next to it, but the streets are really messy and dirty, and there are hidden dangers of unsafe conditions. You need to be very calm and strong when going out. - If you are passing by for a transfer, or don't mind the chaos in Europe and Africa, you can stay here. If you are on vacation and have a similar budget, it is best to choose other areas. - In addition, the check-in time of this accommodation is 5 pm, which is later than ordinary hotels. Otherwise, there is an additional charge of 25 euros, and an additional cleaning fee of 100 euros. To be honest, this is a bit of a pitfall. Booking also has many homestays, but many do not have such charges. They are classified as hotels in Ctrip, so it is easy to ignore them. - Checking in is also quite troublesome. You have to fill in a lot of information through Google sheet before check-in. It is not friendly to many people who cannot use it and it feels informal.

I would have liked to rate the hotel as 4.5* however our room was at the front of the hotel and even with the windows shut it was very noisy from the large road junction outside, plus there was noise from other residents and tvs in other rooms, maybe some soundproofing needs to be carried out. That having been said the location was excellent, an easily walkable distance to main attractions, plus a metro stop is directly outside the hotel. The area felt safe at night and there some very good restaurants to try which are only minutes away. Should you wish to go shopping then there are plenty of non-designer shops to choose from nearby including a very good department store called COIN. Our room was a good size and had a lovely bathroom. The bed was large and extremely comfortable, the linen was super soft. Cleaning through the hotel was of a high standard. Breakfast was excellent, everything you might want and the most delicious scrambled eggs I have ever had in a hotel. There were salads, pastries, cakes, fresh fruit, yoghurts, different cured meats and cheeses, sausages and bacon and vegetarian options. Top marks for the hard working breakfast staff. A great start to the day. Staff generally were friendly and helpful. At reception were snacks and drinks to welcome you which was a nice gesture. The hotel also has a small restaurant, ideal for lunches or if you are too exhausted to leave the hotel at night. We had pizzas and salads there a couple of times for lunch and they were very good. The reception area is good with couches, they will look after your baggage if you have a late flight. A very enjoyable stay.

The room is spacious enough for me and my friend to open our luggage at the same time and still lots of room to walk around with the case opened. The bed and linens are comfortable. Desk to long and wide, with two chairs allow us to use and put on daily skin care together. Only if they could setup slippers in room and add in tooth brush and tooth paste in the bathroom then it will be perfect. Location wise there are quite a lot of restaurants around and it is very close to the central terminal, just a 5-10 minutes walk. You can also take bus or train around to travel around attractions in Rome very easily. There are 2-3 receptionists in the check in counter, they are very knowledgeable to Rome and hotel product knowledge, hope they could keep smile on faces and more friendly. Also I request a non need service to our room to the housekeeping attendant on the second day, but we came back to the room and found it was cleaned. Attached the photo is the door stopper which I found good for the attendant they don’t need to bend their back and also to protect the door from getting starches at the same time.

A fantastic location. In walking distance of the Trevi fountain and the colosseum. Also very close to a nice selection of restaurants and convenience shops. The WiFi was ok. It sometimes very briefly dropped out. The shower was a bit weird as it would cycle through cold, warm, and hot. The A/c was ok. We had it on 19 and it kept the room an ok temperature. In Rome A/C in hotels is often bad so this was probably better than most. The staff were excellent! Often hotel staff in Rome can be a bit sullen and not so helpful but the staff at the Hive were excellent and very helpful. They gave us a late checkout as we needed time before our flight. The restaurant on the roof is gourmet so it is more expensive than other restaurants nearby BUT you get some beautiful food. If you ask at reception they may have a 20% discount voucher for hotel guests.

Hotel very well located, closest to the Roma Termini station. However it's an old hotel and needs of renovation. We got a spacious room with 2 bathrooms but the ceiling was low near the windows, which was a little dangerous because of the wooden beams. The front desk and restaurant staff service are excellent, all cordial and polite. The tables of the restaurant are in marble and it is possible to light it.

Pro: we have chosen this hotel to be close to Termini Station and to almost all touristic objectives in the 4 days /3 nights we stayed in Rome. The price for 3 days was decent given the fact that we stayed during Catholic Easter. The reception was open 24/07 and the receptionist was kind and polite. Cons: The first thing that we have observed was the small room we had (2nd floor), with a green carpet but extremely dirty. It was now cleaned weeks ago it seems. I have photographed everything because the cleaning was not ok here. At all. The marble floor was dirty in the bathroom as well when we arrived but also during our stay. Nobody cleaned the floor. The cleaning lady arranged our bed and we had clean sheets and towels. The hotel has no restaurant, even though they have the room for it and it was nicely arranged. No food was served at all. Only a machine for coffee, teas and salty things.

We recently stayed at the Hotel Nord Nuova, and had a fantastic experience. I had written to ask for a room on a high floor overlooking the ancient Baths of Diocletian, and that is what they gave us! We had Room 557, a corner room with a spectacular view. We spent a lot of time just looking out of the window. The majority of the staff were wonderful, kind and welcoming. We enjoyed the bountiful breakfast which had everything we could possibly want, including my favorite, decaf cappuccino! I highly recommend this hotel, the location was perfect, just five blocks from Termini Station, and close to the Piazza della Repubblica, and those wonderful ruins of the Baths, just across the street, amazing!

The establishment is located a 2-minute walk away from Termini station so it's very convenient if you arrive by train and plan to use the public transports to move around the city (which is recommended) since from there you can hop on any bus/tram/metro/taxi and go anywhere in the city. I didn't explore much around inside the hotel, but I can tell that the restaurant area where breakfast was served is located on the last floor where the terrace is located. I always had my breakfast in the porch which is still covered from the rain and wind. In the morning you can find both sweet and savory food including cornetti, cream filled donuts, cereals, cakes, different kinds of bread that you can also toast, eggs (hard boiled and scrambled), ham, mortadella(=bologna), salami, edamer cheese, fruit, milk, orange and pineapple juice and coffee/tea/capuccino served with an automatic machine. Finally on every table you could find small jars of jam/marmalade. You can reach the floor with 2 separate elevators and I believe the terrace also hosts a bar with music in the evening. I was given a double room to be used as a single so the bed was large but I don't think it would be big enough for two people. The room included a mini bar, an electric kettle with cups that you could use to make tea or instant coffee, a safe and of course a set of towels, soap, shampoo, shower cap and a shoe brush. The bathroom although quite narrow included the bidet and disposable bags for tampons. On the downsides even though it was cleaned daily it seemed that some spots were overlooked for example a phone present in the bathroom was always covered in dust since before I arrived and the shower could use some descaling since most of the streams were clogged. Having a freezer in the room contributes at making it very warm. and finally, although not really an issue for me, the window was facing the inside of the building but on the bright side I believe that facing the street would have caused the hearing of a lot of noise. Talking about noise it was very quiet and the only sound I could hear were sometimes people walking in the corridor outside my room and in the evening the music coming from the terrace bar I believe, even though it stopped playing at midnight. I didn't get to experience any other amenity nor the room service since it wasn't in my interests or I didn't need to while I was there so I cannot give any comment.

Just back from a city break in Florence and Rome. We took the train from Florence into Rome. The hotel is around the corner from the termini exit, so easy to find. The location is ideal for all sight seeing. Close to the railway station so the streets are understandably busy. We walked everywhere in Rome from the hotel. The walk to the Colosseum was so easy. Room is nicely decorated in Italian marble style, very high ceilings which is lovely. The only criticism I have is the flat pack cupboard and tv stand are not in keeping with the decor but I get the practicality of it. Superbly clean, lovely shower room with latest style large shower cubicle. Shampoo etc provided, great hairdryer too. Comfy bed. I’ve read comments about the aircon but being from UK it’s not something we are used to so all good on that front too. The whole hotel is superbly clean. The breakfast was good plenty choice. We loved the rooftop bar which is exclusively for guests, the bar tender Francesca, was wonderful, so friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed relaxing evenings in the bar after busy city touring.
