Hotel Gambrinus

The location is walking distance from the Termini Station, which is very convenient, since most airport shuttles arrive there. Also the city center is close enough, 20-30 minutes walk to the major sight seeings. If you want to go further, the Repubblica, Termini and Castro Pretorio metro stations are not that far. The breakfast was very good. They change the main courses so you don't get too used to the same meals. The kitchen staff were also were pleasant and friendly. They were very kind to store our luggage after checkout since we had a late flight.

When we checked in the gentleman at the reception told us that we are "lucky" because they have only one room left and we could have missed it. Wait WHAAAT??? He explained that since the payment was not made (we chose to pay at the hotel), the room was not guaranteed. This does not sound right at all and they could have informed us about this beforehand. So we could just end up with no room, soaking wet, in a late night rainy Rome. The Internet was unusable often times, probably because of the high demand. Although this is a 4 star hotel, the room did not meet my expectations. Very small shower cabin and dusty wall papers.
