I would advise anyone thinking of staying here to choose another Hotel. The room was cramped, smelly, old, dark and not at all up to the standard. The net curtains were filty and the bathroom was old and tatty. The area near Termini Station is horrible and unsafe. The breakfast room was ugly and the food was just disgusting, as well as the tea and coffee. Generally not very helpful staff. I know the price is cheap but as the saying goes " you get what uou pay for " but in this case I would not stay here even in they pay me.
Unfortunately the photographs of the rooms are nothing like the reality. Our tripple room on the 5th floor was large but very gloomy - there was bare grey plaster board ceiling (unpainted) and the decor and furniture generally looked tired and in need of modernisation. The room, however, was clean and the bedding was white, crisp and clean. Don't expect too much for breakfast - there isn't much choice, bread rolls are hard and stale. Crossoint and coffee are the best bet. My overall feeling is it is not good value for money and I'm sure there are better hotels in Rome for a similar price. I would say it is a 1-2 star hotel, definiately not a 3. On the plus side it is in a good position for sightseeing.

The staff here are very friendly and helpful. Room was a small single which felt quite depressing at first but I spent very little time there so it really didn't matter. Bed was comfortable. Shower clean with plenty of hot water. There were some students shouting in the corridor a lot one night but I was so tired they barely kept me awake. The area, just 2 or 3 streets down from the train station felt perfectly safe and there are plenty of other hotels in the area too. Friends stayed in a separate hotel just a block away. Their room was bigger but they still had similar issues with noise and trying to get fresh air in without also suffering the Rome traffic noise.

This is the worst hotel I've ever stayed at. The elevator broke (while we were in it), the rooms are smelly, and you run out of hot water through a normal shower. The bathroom had a musty smell, that I cannot attribute to anything in particular. It is not a smell you would want to find out on your own. To cap it all off, I think we got scammed for 100 euro (fake note). That point is debateable, but this hotel is not 3 stars.and I'm surprised it is in business still. Upon check-in, I called the Hilton to book another room. That tells you something. Stay away.far, far, away.

I was looking for a non-expensive hotel (single room) close to Termini station for 2 nights, and found Hotel Giada on the website nyceRome.com. The hotel (3 stars) is quite basic, but clean, and it satisfied my needs. The room was simply furnished, but the bed was good. The breakfast was average. The location of the hotel was superb, 3 minutes from Termini station and 3 minutes from Maria Maggiore, so I felt I got fair value for the money. There are many 3 stars hotels in the same street as this hotel, so next time i may try another one.

After reading a few reviews regarding Hotel Giada, I thought that perhaps my stay in Rome would be seriously impacted. I was very pleased to find that Hotel Giada was exactly what I was looking for when I booked it. The 24 hour staff was fine; the room was great despite no air-conditioning; the room and bathroom were clean-big, clean towels daily; the breakfast room was bright and warm with a nice breakfast. The elevator was vintage but memorable. The location, 5 minutes from the Termini and within walking distance to all but Vatican City is perfect. Would recommend.

this hotel was the worst place i have ever stayed the room was small dark and smelled funny. The bathroom was appalling i felt dirtier after a shower as the water stank and made me feel sick just before the hot water ran out, and it was full of insects. Mouldy walls and cracked radiators added to the over all ambience. It was like an eppisode of Fawlty Towers with out the homour. I would advise anyone staying in rome to avoid this hotel.

This is the perfect place if you need a clean room and place to shower. The bed was somewhat comfy, breakfast was ok but the rooms were clean and is in a perfect location. The train station and Coloseum are both extremely close. The only thing that annoyed me was you had to go to the lobby to use the Internet. If you're on a budget and can live without all the pamperings of a nice hotel this is your place.

We stayed at the Hotel Giada and found the rooms to be clean, including the bathroom. The breakfast was nice and the staff were friendly. The hotel is within easy reach of all the sights and we didn't feel threatened by the area. i must admit that we were dreading our stay there because of all the bad reviews, we enjoyed ourselves and would stay there again for a low budget break.
