Lirico

"Perfect location, walking distance from the Termini train station with two Metro stops nearby. The property is a tad dated but well-maintained with comfortable and very clean rooms. Decent continental breakfast, good value for money. There was a problem with the air conditioner in our room, it was not working during a heat wave. hotel staff was very accommodating. I would like to add in that the staff was very friendly and professional. Plenty of nearby restaurants of all types, with a Carrefour Express next door (for Americans think Target Express or a very large 7-11). Good value for the money and I would stay here again."

"Great location, friendly and helpful staff, really good breakfast. The only slight downside was that my room got warm and stuffy at night. I left the windows open during the day to air out, but at night it was necessary to keep them closed for noise, which they did an awesome job of blocking all sounds, but also keeping in heat."

"We have just come back from an 8 night stay at the Hotel Lirico, A family trip - so we booked two rooms. The rooms are cosy, but that is the norm for city centre / European locations. Both rooms had roughly the same footprint, but were laid out differently. One room (315) had a larger bathroom - taking up perhaps 3/5 of the width, and the wardrobe filled the final 2/5. In the other room (310), we had a smaller bathroom, taking up 2/5 of the width, and the remaining 3/5 was open room at the end of the bed (making that room feel slightly larger). I'm mentioning this as you may prefer a larger room feel, or a larger bathroom. 310 also overlooked the main square, where the Opera House is located, so lovely views. The stay was lovely. Very clean room, comfy bed (mattress on the harder side as others have mentioned, but perfectly comfortable), external shutters if you want to darken the room at all, and great service from reception, house keeping, and the staff at breakfast. On that, if buffet breakfasts are your thing, do take it at the hotel, it is very good. The only two things to mention really are, 1) storage is tight, so be prepared for that, although the wardrobes are large, but as is normal, they don't have loads of hangers (but there is space for more if you brought some of your own). 2) depending when you come, the aircon may not be on 'cool'. In one room it was, but in ours it was locked to 'heat'. When I enquired at reception I was told it changed over to cold later in April (and a quick Google indicates this can be common). I suppose my daughter's room being cold was just luck? The location is great. Roughly 8 minute walk from Roma Termini, and an easy walk to most landmarks (the Vatican is longer, but we just went via other locations, and stopped for coffee etc. on the way). Will be back to Rome, and will most likely book into the same hotel again."
