| Hotel under repair with scaffolding all round as a result of which we could not open or see out of bedroom window which was shuttered. Our room was therefore in permanent artificial light. This was not made clear before booking. Breakfast OK but hot dishes limited and not great. All in all this hotel was acceptable but not 4 star. |

| Despite the "street"--though I don't mind it myself, others do--the Palladium Palace is a favorite place to stay, especially after a long air flight from the west coast of the U.S. The staff is friendly, helpful, and attentive. The rooms are small, but always clean, and I particularly like the in-room safe to store valuables. The breakfast and the roof-top cafe/bar it's served in are superb. |

| The proximity of this hotel to the train station makes it a fantastic option for people who are traveling through. It was very close to several nice open air restaurants and several cafes as well as laundry mats. |

| this was a most comfortable hotel in an area very handy to the main railway station which now has lots of shops and services.also in walking distance to the main bus station which is just opposite railway station.only minus is that you need to be aware of pick pockets in this area but that probably goes for most of rome |

| Friendly and helpful staff. Good location for travel, being near the Termini station (3 minutes) where the main Metro lines also meet - though the area itself is somewhat scruffy. Good buffet breakfast. |

| We enjoyed our stay at Palladium. The room was very nice. We requested a king bed, non-smoking room with a shower and that is what we got. (The king bed was a little hard.) It was mid-November so the air conditioning was off and the room would get a little warm. We opened the windows quite a bit. The location was convenient as it is a short walk to the Termini Station and we used the Metro subway a lot. My only complaint was that our room was a bit noisey due to the traffic outside our window, although we were usually so tired from lots of walking that we slept just fine. The breakfast was excellent with hot and cold food and the staff was always willing to help us when asked. |

| I have stayed in this hotel and love it. It is close to everything and the front desk guys remember faces even after a year. I will be back to this hotel again and again. |

| The rooms and especially the bathrooms are very large by European standards. They are very nicely appointed and we were very pleased. We chose the hotel because of the location near the train station. If you're going to be taking the train a lot and this is location is important to you, we would highly recommend this hotel. The surroundings in the train station area are not especially nice and walking a few blocks from the hotel, I got into a rather dicey neighborhood. We were disappointed in the rooftop area. It was deserted and did not have any view. All in all, if the location is a good one for your stay, we would recommend this hotel, particularly because of the quality and size of the room, bathroom. We stayed in a "junior suite". The first one we were in was right on the street which was very noisy, but they cheerfully moved us to a more quiet room. |

| The hotel is very near Termini Station. Use the main exit (beware don´t use an exit with stairs !).The hotel staff is always ready to help you. At Termini you can take the bus or Metro (buy tickets at tobacco shop). Note, online photo gallery, the bathroom photo displayed are for superior rooms. The others like the one we stayed (513) have a small shower but located on backside of the hotel it was very quiet. Don't miss Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and Borghese Gallery (reservation is mandatory, use http://www.ticketeria.it) |

| This is a very clean, hospitable hotel that I highly recommend. A great value for the price and far better than the star rating indicates. The rooms were quite spacious. A friend and I shared one room with two twin beds. There was enough room for a third twin bed, a side area for dressing, and a good sized bathroom. Even though we were right by the elevator, we did not hear any noise. The one exception is that one morning two maids were especially noisy and it woke us up. Every other day, this was not a problem, and we slept soundly even though we are light sleepers. The employees were extremely hospitable and perfectly fluent in English. There was some confusion over our room assignment (probably due to a bad connection I had over the telephone), which staff corrected quickly and graciously. The area was very safe. Because it was only two blocks from the Termini Train Station, it made sight seeing especially easy. |

| Accoglienza ottima con camere disponibili al nostro arrivo già alle 8 del mattino. Camera adeguata anche se un pò piccola; riscaldamento eccessivo e praticamente non regolabile con necessità di tenere la finestra aperta anche di notte! Bagno sufficiente; manca una tenda della doccia. Colazione di buona qualità e abbondante; gradita una maggiore varietà di frutta fresca. |

| On the ground, first and second floor things are noisy, the street, people around the elevator etc. The Breakfast buffet was fresh and generous while the vat of coffee was stewed and bitter. A good location for the city centre and lots of good restaurants close by but alas the local imigrant population was overpowering and at times a nuisance selling everything and anything. At night you will feel a little intimidated - rightly so... stay in the busy streets if you can. |
