    Hotel good for a couple nights before going somewhere else ie. cruise other part of the country

    rating25 May 2026

    Stayed here for a pre cruise and for the location to Rome termini and the metro cannot beat the location for these purposes The hotel itself was underwhelming breakfast was edible amenities in the lobby are non existent such as water and coffee The rooms were fine the bed comfortable and AC was great shower was small with no places for soap or shampoo. Like they say if your just using it to sleep and explore this is fine but what your paying for this there may be better options we stayed at Hotel Morgana last time it was better and cheaper but this was a last minute vacation so that was booked up Hotel California, at Hotel California, responded to this review Dear Guest,thank you for choosing our Hotel for your pre‑cruise stay and for sharing such detailed feedback.We are pleased to hear that you appreciated our convenient location near Termini station, as well as the comfort of the bed and the efficiency of the air conditioning.

    Strange experience but great location

    rating24 May 2026

    Strange experience here - we wanted to stay closer to Termini on this trip to Rome so booked Hotel California...Staff were perhaps less than helpful - we checked in late, which wasn't a problem on paper for them... but were made to feel it was a problem when we arrived.En route to our rooms, we discovered a hotel within a hotel? I'm unsure how to describe it really but that's what it seemed like to us.Other than that it was a standard city centre hotel - charging a bit more than it should... but it's Rome so you let that go I suppose. Nothing food/drink-wise for us to review here just an odd experience.Oh, and staff practically insisted on holding our keycards while we ventured out to explore the city. We declined and they didn't seem too happy about it? Unsure what to say on that one as well.

    A spacious room for a family with two teenagers. Four perfect nights!

    rating11 Apr 2026

    The hotel is located near Termini - I was a little sceptic about possible noise but I didn't even notice, we slept like a baby. There's a nice atmosphere in the neighbourhood with several bars and restaurants, so if you want to eat close to your hotel it would be perfect. The four person bedroom - which is why is chose the hotel in the first place - is spacious, clean for a family is worth every cent of its price! If you're looking for a very good hotel in a reasonable price range, this should be your spot. You're close to the most important neighbourhoods of Rome AND you're close to the Metro to get a little further.There are clean towels every day, and a decent breakfast! A good breakfast that keeps you going until lunch. The mattress is hard, I considered it perfect but some might think otherwise. The beds that were made and room was perfectly cleaned every day. There's a very friendly staff. The lobby and the staircase might need a little cleanup but overall it's a very clean and perfect choice for an hotel if you're interested in exploring Rome. Hotel California, Direttore generale at Hotel California, responded to this review Dear guest,​Thank you very much for your kind words and for choosing our hotel for your family stay in Rome. It was a true pleasure to host you and your teenagers for those four nights.​I am delighted to hear that our quadruple room provided the space and value you were looking for. We understand that finding quiet, spacious accommodations near Termini can be a priority for travelers, and I am glad you found the room to be a peaceful retreat despite the vibrant energy of the neighborhood. It is also wonderful to know that our central location and proximity to the Metro allowed you to explore the city with ease.​I appreciate your specific feedback regarding the mattress firmness and the breakfast service. We aim to provide a solid foundation for a day of sightseeing, and I’m happy the breakfast kept your family energized. Furthermore, I have taken note of your comments regarding the lobby and staircase; we are committed to continuous improvement, and your observations help us focus our efforts on maintaining all areas of the property to the highest standard.​Our team takes great pride in their hospitality, and I will be sure to share your compliments with them. We look forward to the possibility of welcoming you back on your next Roman holiday.​Warm regards,​The G.MGabriele

    Good hotel!

    rating11 Feb 2026

    Second time in Rome, we have choosed again Termini zone for accomodation. And Hotel California is very well situated, nearby Santa Maria Magiore and Termini Station, walking distance to Colosseum.Spacious and clean rooms, very friendly personnel, good breakfast, even the same products every morning. Just a minus, sometimes a very bed smell due to the AC used for heating.A few good restaurants nearby, supermarket Conad inside Termini Station.Very important: Termini Station is the key point for buses and trains from or to the two airports. And to all the important points of interest of Rome.Posible to choose Hotel California again! Hotel California, Direttore generale at Hotel California, responded to this review Dear Guest,​On behalf of the entire staff and management,I would like to sincerely thank you for choosing Hotel California for your second visit to Rome. It is a true honor for us to know that our hotel continues to be your preferred home in the Eternal City.​We are delighted that you appreciated our strategic location near Santa Maria Maggiore and the Colosseum, as well as the spaciousness and cleanliness of our rooms. Knowing that you felt welcomed by the warmth of our team is a great source of pride for me.​Our Commitment to Your Comfort​Regarding Breakfast: I am glad you enjoyed it. We will certainly value your feedback regarding the variety of products as we strive to surprise our returning guests with new seasonal offerings.​Maintenance Note: Thank you for bringing the issue with the air conditioning to our attention. I have already instructed our maintenance department to perform an extraordinary sanitization of the filters and ducts to ensure the air quality remains fresh and odorless, providing maximum comfort in the room.​It was a pleasure having you with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for your third trip to Rome,perhaps allowing us to suggest a few more hidden gems of the city for you to discover on foot.​Would you like me to assist you with a priority reservation for your next stay !Best Regards
