ROOMS & BREAKFAST: We arrived late in the evening Nov 2nd. We anticipated the hotel being difficult to find so followed other TripAdvisor members directions and found the hotel pretty easily. The man at reception in Hotel Enrica was very helpful; told us breakfast times, gave us a map & took us to our room in the Serendipity. Yes the rooms are basic & not the most modern.But for the price you can't expect a lot more. Our bed was made everyday, changed a few times and we had 2 clean towels each everyday. Breakfast is a coffee, fruit juice & pastry in Hotel Enrica (a 1 minute walk away) but it filled us up until lunch time and would have cost us roughly 8 Euros each each day to buy in a local cafe. Yes the chairs you sit on for breakfast are plastic; but you're only in there 10/15mins so it really doesn't matter. We'd sit there with a map from reception, plan our day whilst eating & drinking and then head out for the day returning in the evening. LOCATION: The hotel is about a 25 minute walk to the Colosseum with numerous supermarkets/ shops on the way. Roma Termini station is about 10mins away as well as a metro station at the end of the Viale Castro road (goes direct to Colosseum for 1.50 EUR each way). SO... a great budget hotel in a great location if you're looking for somewhere cheap as a base during a city break. With only a few hours spent at the hotel each day/night; all the facilities you need including free wifi and a fridge in the rooms. The hotel is very secure with multiple gates, doors, locks and CCTV & a safe was provided in our room. Our only complaint would be that toilet flushes/showers in other rooms could be heard, but that wasn't really a problem and we were only woken once when someone decided to shower at 4am.

“OK!!”

We stayed here for 2 nights and I was waiting for the stay to get over.. the reception is in interior of a big building and the rooms are even more inside.. we had 4 doors to be opened to reach our room.. and the way through these doors is not pleasant.. the room was OK.. bed not very comfortable,… more

We stayed here for 2 nights and I was waiting for the stay to get over.. the reception is in interior of a big building and the rooms are even more inside.. we had 4 doors to be opened to reach our room.. and the way through these doors is not pleasant.. the room was OK.. bed not very comfortable, bathroom was ok ok, the refrigerator was noisy... the overall setup was very dull and gloomy... for the price we paid i expected a clean, decent normal hotel room... Plus point was the reception was open almost 24 hours, so check-in check-out was not a problem..
