"I recently stayed at the Adesso Hotel from March 18–23, 2026, and I have to say—the pictures truly don’t do this hotel justice. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay, and the room checked off everything I was looking for.
I stayed in Room 206 with a balcony, and aside from one small (and honestly funny) incident with the balcony door, it was a great room. To my defense, I’m not experienced with these types of doors—I turned the handle all the way up, which caused the door to open from the top. I thought I broke it and had to call the front desk. They were incredibly kind and sent someone up to show me how to use it. Definitely my simple “American moment”—LOL.
All jokes aside, the hotel staff was excellent—friendly, responsive, and provided great customer service throughout my stay. Check-in was smooth. I knew check-in wasn’t until 2 PM, and we arrived around 10:30 AM expecting to wait. The hotel offers a bathroom area where you can freshen up or change, which was very convenient. After dropping off our bags, we were told they would be placed in our room once it was ready—and they actually followed through. When we returned later, our bags were already there. That level of service really stood out.
The room itself was spacious with a modern, minimalist design but still very functional. It included a safe (large enough for a Coach Tabby bag), a refrigerator (with two complimentary water bottles daily), a kettle, and a coffee maker. The bathroom was surprisingly large compared to most European hotels. The shower stall was slightly compact, but still manageable. The balcony was also a great feature—spacious, with a table, two chairs, and even an ashtray.
Lighting in the room was top-tier—probably the brightest hotel room I’ve stayed in—and the best part was the light controls on both sides of the bed. No need to get up. For me, the most important feature is always the air conditioning, and this one delivered. It worked very well—almost too well, since I had to turn the fan down because it got so cold.
In terms of transportation, getting to and from the hotel was straightforward. An Uber from the airport cost about €56, and the return trip during morning rush hour was €76. Splitting the fare made it reasonable. The hotel is directly across from Roma Tiburtina railway station and very close to the Rome Metro, making it easy to get around. The city center is about a 20-minute metro ride, and getting to Vatican City took around 35 minutes with one transfer. For me, that travel time was completely worth it for the quality of the hotel.
The surrounding area is also very convenient. Right near the station, you’ll find places like KFC, McDonald's, and La Piadineria, which has great wraps. Outside, there’s Alice Pizza, which serves delicious focaccia-style pizza. For snacks or essentials, Pam Panorama is nearby and very well-stocked—I went almost every day. And if you’re craving gelato, Mamo Gelateria is about a 7-minute walk and offers a wide variety of great flavors.
Overall, if you’re looking for a hotel that’s modern, spacious, and doesn’t have the older feel common in many city center hotels, Adesso Hotel is a fantastic choice. I would absolutely stay here again on my next trip to Rome. Great staff, excellent service, and easy access to the city—it really made the stay worthwhile. I hope your experience is just as great as mine!"
