    We chose to stay at this hotel for its convenient location near the train station and other attractions in Rome. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making our stay extra special. The breakfast had a wide variety of options, including gluten-free choices, which we appreciated. The rooftop restaurant provided a beautiful setting to enjoy meals and a stunning view of the Rome skyline at night, making our evenings truly memorable.

    Woowww, 🤩 loved the location, super close to the termini for easy transport! the rooms were clean and spacious with amenities. But the breakfast was a bit basic and cold food. Staff friendly, but some can be cold.

    I always stay at my favorite place in Rome. At my first visit, the staff kindly helped me print important documents. This place fits me perfectly, with Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception, fitness center, flat-screen TV. I am returning for a holiday.

    The hotel's spacious lobby with its marble tile floors and comfortable seating areas made me feel very welcome and at ease. As a senior woman, I truly appreciated the accessibility of the general areas, making it easy for me to navigate and relax. The hotel's location near landmarks such as the Teatro dell'Opera and the Baths of Diocletian allowed me to enjoy the beauty of Rome without compromising on comfort.

    Better accessibility features for senior guests.

    The staff were exceptional, especially Monica at breakfast. The triple room was spacious, and the location near Termini station was ideal. The only downside was the view. I wish I could have stayed longer and will definitely return!

    Our family room turned out to be 2 connecting rooms, giving us plenty of space. The location was super convenient, close to transport and attractions. Breakfast was a hit, though the rooftop bar lacked vibe. Watch out for credit card pre-authorizations! A comfortable stay with a few quirks.

    The hotel was conveniently located near the train and metro stations, with plenty of restaurants around, including a Chinese one, and we lucked out with huge connecting family rooms. Most attractions were only a stroll away. The king-sized bed and the hair care products were amazing, and the front desk manager was so helpful. The only downside was the lack of sunlight in our room facing other buildings' walls, but since we were out exploring all day, it didn't bother us much. 🌞

    Just returned from a fantastic trip to Rome! Stayed at Best Western and couldn't be happier. The triple room was spacious and clean, perfect for three adults. The location was ideal, within walking distance to major attractions and the metro. The staff was extremely helpful, recommending restaurants and giving directions. We enjoyed a delicious and affordable breakfast for just 5 Euros. a low-budget trip with excellent quality accommodations. Highly recommend!

    Can't recommend highly enough this hotel!

The hotel's location was very convenient, with easy access to the main train station and a variety of restaurants. The staff were helpful and accommodating, especially when I mentioned my dietary restrictions. I appreciated the daily room cleaning and the availability of a kettle and ironing board. I had a nice and enjoyable stay and would recommend this hotel for its great location and good rooms.

    The sauna and Turkish bath were a delightful surprise, like finding a hidden treasure in the heart of ancient Rome. After a busy day exploring the city, sinking into the relaxation of the wellness area felt like being transported to a serene oasis away from the bustling city streets.

    Non-functioning air conditioning.

    The shampoo at the hotel was amazing with no silicon in it, making my hair shiny and bouncy! The mattress was a bit soft but perfect for my back issues. The location was great for walking to attractions. The sauna management was poor, but the sauna itself was nice. The room could use renovations, but the staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was varied and delicious with pastries to enjoy.

    We loved staying here! The location was perfect, just a short walk from the train station and close to all the main tourist sites. The room amenities were excellent, including a mini-bar, balcony, and in-room safe. The staff at the reception desk were friendly and accommodating, and the restaurant served delicious meals with a wide variety of options. We also made use of the spa facilities, which included a sauna and steam room. We highly recommend this hotel to families!

    The hotel's location was perfect for attending the congress, providing easy access to the meeting rooms and offering a modern conference room suitable for corporate events for up to 300 guests. The hotel's conference center is one of the biggest in the center of Rome, which made organizing successful congresses and meetings a smooth experience.

    The only service I missed for work was the availability of a dedicated business center for last-minute printing and other business needs.

The staff were welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home. The breakfast selection was amazing, with a wide variety of options to suit different tastes. The location was perfect, with many great restaurants within walking distance. Being close to the train station made it easy for us to explore the city.

    The location of this hotel is perfect, with easy access to many restaurants and shopping areas. Walking to all the main attractions is convenient, as well as reaching Termini station quickly. The rooms and bathrooms are kept clean and modern, with comfortable beds and a variety of pillow options. Breakfast is worth the price, with substantial options to choose from. the hotel provides cell phones for local use, which is a nice perk.

    The soundproofing of the rooms could be improved to reduce outside noise.

    Great location, just a short walk from major attractions and public transportation. the breakfast buffet was delicious with a wide variety of options to choose from. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making us feel welcomed.

    Our room was not up to par. The bathroom was dirty and in need of a thorough cleaning.

    The staff was very professional and friendly. The hotel was spotlessly clean and well-maintained. The location was fantastic, with easy access to public transportation and all the main tourist attractions within walking distance. I also loved that they offered a breakfast option for a very affordable price.

    The air conditioning was disabled , making the room uncomfortably hot. When I called the reception for help, they were not very helpful and suggested opening a window.

    The hotel is conveniently located near all the major attractions in the city, making it easy to access almost everything. It is just a short walk from the hop on hop off stop and sites like the Trevi Fountain. Plus, it is very close to the Metro station, so it's easy to take a train to the Vatican. The rooms are nice and the breakfast is great, with a good selection of hot and cold options.

    Some guests have mentioned noise issues at night due to the proximity to the main road and the lift.

    Loved the free wellness area with its fantastic sauna, gym, and Turkish bath. Also appreciated the strict safeguards in place for guests and staff. Great for vegetarians and celiac sufferers.

    It was such a shame that the hotel didn't offer a free personal chef to cater to my every dietary whim. Oh, the hardships of having to choose from Roman and international dishes!

    A 5-minute walk from lively Opera Theatre and Via Nazionale, perfect for shopping and exploring Rome's landmarks like the Rome Opera house and Palazzo del Viminale.

    My wife says that having a dedicated kids' play area would make a family stay even better.

    I recently stayed at Best Western Plus Hotel Universo for a few days and had a fantastic experience. The location was great, close to the bus terminal and convenient for traveling to and from the airport. The hotel was also near hop-on/off tour buses, which made exploring the city easy. Additionally, there were plenty of good restaurants in the area. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the staff was friendly and helpful.

    100% Recommend this hotel.

    The location of the hotel was very convenient since it was within walking distance of all major attractions and very close to the train station. The room was clean and the hotel facilities offered a personal phone for navigation. The breakfast was reasonably priced and the staff were friendly and helpful.

    Absolutely nothing.

    The room was so cozy and inviting, and the free smartphone really came in handy for navigating Rome. The premium bedding was like sleeping on a cloud, and the laptop-friendly workspace made it easy to stay productive during my stay.

    Personally, I found the kettle and minibar a bit unnecessary, but I'm sure others would appreciate them.
