Great place to stay during a weekend trip to Rome - access to public transport is excellent, staff was very friendly and helpful, rooms are spacious and very clean, bath is small, but convenient. Breakfast is kind of rudimentary, but there is a very nice bakery down the street where you can get everything you need. If you happen to be accomodated in a room to the street, you will definetely need earplugs! My mother-in-law had a room to the back, which she said was perfectly quiet though... Be aware that you stay in a tourist ghetto, where no decent roman resident would ever go out for dinner - Monti is just a couple of blocks down the Via Cavour and one can find many good restaurants and trattorie there! All in all, I can absolutely recommend Sweet Home, especially if you speak a little italian...

Hotel not far from main train station. Was cleaned every day, big rooms. You can walk to a lot of places from the hotel direct or use metro. As usual in Rom, the nights were loud with rooms to the street. But no problem. We had our dinner every evening in the Pizzeria direct in the left of Hotel. Good prices and very friendly personal. We would stay again in this Hotel and can recommend it.

Sweet Home is a very basic hotel. It is in a good location for the Train Station. The breakfast was crap. The price is a typical Rome price for what you get. If you have the ability to book the Beehive go there instead... incredible quality for the price, far better than Sweet Home.

Very easy to find and close to railway station. No noise from railway but noise from school group staying in another floor of building and street noise. Helpful staff, given a map and various sights around Rome highlighted for us.

Excellent situation. Employees very nice and helpfull. We got a 3rd bed in our double room which was really very big (larger than a Novotel room like 20m2). Just finishing could be greater (tv channels wasn't set and an electrical connection was out). Else decoration and cleaning perfect.

Very good location, clean, and friendly. We went in November so air conditioning was not an issue, but probably would be in the summer. The heating was fine. Rather spartan in terms of furniture, accessories and services, but if you are like us, only interested in a clean, comfortable place to sleep near the sightseeing attractions at a reasonable price, this is a good choice. The friendly helpful staff is a big plus. It is a family run hotel. If you think of it more as a bed & breakfast than as a hotel, you will be most likely be pleased.

Small room. The staff was courteous and helpful. Located near train station which is a seedy area. We were not comfortable walking the streets near the train station. There were unsavoury characters loitering on the streets at all hours.

The location of this hotel is extremely convenient, between the station and Sta. Maria Magiore, with internet places all around. The only inconvenient thing was that the rooms were located in different sections and floors, and we sometimes needed to ask the staff to open the door from one to the other.

hotel pulito e tranquillo in zona strategica per i collegamenti, personale competente e discreto, reception disponibile 24 ore senza problemi per rientri tardivi o levate mattutine. I servizi della camera corrispondevano a quanto pubblicizzato. La zona in cui si trova è piena di extracomunitari ma tranquilla e si può girare anche la sera tardi senza problemi. La vicinanza della stazione Termini offre molti servizi in più come bar ristoranti negozi aperti oltre l'orario normale.

Great hotel to stay near Termini station for travel to/from airports and within short walking distance of good restaurants/minimarkets etc. It is in a lively area possibly too noisy for young children however we loved it. People watching from our window was great! The room was spacious and kept very clean each day. The Shower/toilet was clean and functional. No air con but a big fan on the cieling was enough. The staff were very friendly and helpfull and clearly look out for their guests. We would really recommend the Sweet Home for an affordable base to visit Rome and surrounding area.

Hotel situato a pochi passi dalla Stazione Termini.L'hotel è delizioso e il personale molto disponibile.La colazione non è compresa nel prezzo (costa 2,5 euro) ma è abbondante.L'unica pecca è la posizione...nel senso che i dintorni della stazione Termini non sono un posto raccomandabile (soprattutto la notte) con la concentrazione di Russi,Arabi e zingari.

Hallo, wir waren für 4 Tage in Rom und es hat alles wunderbar funktioniert. Unsere Zimmer waren reserviert und da das Hotel nicht weit vom Termini entfernt ist, haben wir es auch gleich nach der uns vorliegenden Beschreibung gefunden. Wir waren vier Mädl`s und haben uns in unseren Hotel Sweet Home sehr sicher gefühlt. Unsere Fragen wurden auch (italienisch Kenntnisse vorausgesezt) alle beantwortet. Wir hatten viel Spaß und würden das Hotel sofort weiterempfehlen. Es war alles sauber und das Frühstücksbuffet günstiger als jeder Cappuchino den wir in Rom getrunken haben. Unser Fazit: Jederzeit wieder!

Overall, I was satisfied with our choice of hotel for 2 nights. As Rome is known for overpriced accommodation, it was not easy to find a good price/quality ratio. SWEET HOME was flexible of showing us 2 free rooms upon our arrival from which we could choose one. We took the "bigger" double-room viewing the main street. Noise was moderate/quiet, moreover, April allows sleeping on closed windows. The room: modest size with a small wardrobe (we were 2 ladies:-)), clean bed sheets, ceiling ventilator, small TV. Bath: small, but clean, modest toilettories, thin not best towels, a not powerful hairdrier (we had one of our own). We could hear the morning noise from the corridor, but nothing unbareable. We skipped the breakfast, so can't comment on it. Unfortunately we didn't find anything good nearby, but it depends on one's taste. Rome offers enough caffes and bars. SWEET HOME lies within 4 min by walk from Termini Main Train Station, where one can ride the bus (public or tourist) down to all sightseeing areas. Walking downtown will take you ca. 20 minutes. Closest is the Colloseum (10 min). SWEET HOME gives you a free map of the city which is very useful.

Unfortunately I suffered an ailment, which required hospitalisation. The staff was extremely helpful in assisting me. The room was comfortable, somewhat noisy (trams started to run at 0530 mornings). Recommended for price, closeness to Termini and shopping.

A very nice place two blocks from the train station. Rooms were clean and spacious. The street was a bit noisy at night but the ceiling fan did a good job at creating a barrier of white noise. Forum and Colosseo 20 minutes by hoof. Half hour stroll to Travestere (great resturants there!) We will try to stay here next time.

Wir waren zu zweit für 6 Tage in Rom. Für diese Hauptreisezeit (Ostern!) war das Hotel sehr günstig, zum Termini sehr nah gelegen, dafür aber trotzdem ruhig und auch zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten nicht allzu weit entfernt (nächstgelegene ca. 10 Gehminuten). Es war sehr sauber, ein bißchen dunkel und das Personal war sehr nett.

We, three adults had two rooms facing the street. A lot noice from cars, trams and people, but when you stay at a so extremely central place, you consider this noise as natural and easier to tolerate. It wa very easy to find the hotel ande come back to the hotel in the evenings, by tube, bus or tram.

The hotel does not have "public" areas. It's split over 2 or 3 floors. The access to the hotel is through a locked gate on the ground floor. You have to be buzzed in day and night. This was the ONLY inconvenience. The hotel was lovely and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definately stay at Sweet Home again.

Hotel sehr sauber, Personal sehr freundlich. Frühstück wird in Plastikgeschirr serviert ist aber für 2.5 EUR voll okay, Kaffee, Tee, Müsli, Croissants, Butter, Marmelade, viele Kuchen! Einziges Manko war der Straßenlärm, aber der ist in Rom glaub ich normal, besonders in Termini Nähe und nach der 2ten Nacht hat man sich daran gewöhnt. Lage ganz toll, gleich ums Eck beim Termini, von dort geht alles weg und man kann fast alles zu Fuß erreichen. Für eine Städtereise ist dieses Hotel ideal und ich würde es jederzeit für einen Kurztrip wieder buchen!

From the price and location we were expecting a dump in a bad area, so were extremely pleasantly surprised to find a great, clean hotel, with a very pleasant family running it, and only yards from the station, which turned out to be a huge advantage. The landlord was lovely, spoke better English than my Italian, and was very helpful with directions and advice. After the first couple of bad dining experiences in Rome, he recommended a small restaurant only a block away called Alfredos, which was fabulous, the owner a wonderful man and the food excellent and cheap. The only downside of the Sweet Home (other than the name) was the noise from the street at night, delivery trucks made a terrible racket. It was so hot we had to leave the windows open, but as they were fitted with both shutters and double-glazed panes, presumably at cooler times the noise could be shut out. Overall a great place, and we will definitely go back.

El hotel está muy cerca de la estación de Termini en la que se puede coger el tren al aeropuerto, el metro y muchos autobuses. Nuestra habitación era muy grande con una cama de matrimonio enorme y tenía un baño individual recién reformado. Limpiaban y cambiaban las toallas todos los días. Aunque el desayuno no estaba incluido por 2,50 euros cada día podías desayunar. El personal era muy amable, nos dieron un mapa nada más llegar y nos dijeron algunos autobuses que pasan por los sitios de interés. Lo único malo es que tienes que pagar en efectivo nada más llegar. La zona está llena de comercios extranjeros y puede que eso te choque nada más llegar. Quizás no es la mejor de Roma, pero cada uno va a lo suyo, nadie te molesta y no tuvimos ningún problema. Cerca hay un supermercado,tiendas de comida para llevar, restaurantes y farmacias. También está próximo a algunos monumentos. Definitivamente volveríamos al Sweet Home por su relación calidad-precio además de por estar muy bien comunicado.

Premier séjour à Rome, hormis le quartier qui n'est pas franchement des plus propres et accueillant, l'hotel a été parfait. On apprécie aussi la proximité de la gare de train, de la gare de bus et du métro. Une propreté et une salle de bain d'un excellent niveau. Pour un 2 étoiles à 65 euros la nuit, c'etait le top. La boutique est familiale et très bien tenue. Nous avons été très bien accueillis et même conseillés pour nos visite.

Top Hoteliers, die Spaß am Beruf und den Gästen haben. Extrem kinderfreundliches Verhalten und jederzeit allen erfüllbaren Wünschen aufgeschlossen. Lage vom Hotel optimal um ohne eigenen PKW Rom kopl. erkunden zu können (Hauptbahnhof und Metrozentralstadion nur ca 300m weg). Frühstück sehr ordentlich und extrem preiswert (2,50€ / Person), doch warum der Caffee in ganz Italien in jedem Autogrill so Klasse schmeckt und bei jedem Frühstück muß man sich fragen, wo ist die Caffeekultur geblieben. Ach ja Autogrill, Latte Macciatto und Cappucino für 1,15€ und Espresso für 0,70€ direkt am Eingang vom Bahnhof. Superlecker für den 2. Frühstückscaffee

sono stata con i miei per 3giorni. e' stata bellissima vacanza. su hotel Sweet; sopratutto si trova vicino alla stazione. come tutti alberghi che si trovano alla zona stazione, non e' una zona molto sicura, traquilla. pero' i staff sono simpatici, addirritura e' grande raccontatore.cioe' signore Bruno. a proposito lo saluto. la stanza e' sempre pulita, spaziosa, il bagno era un po' vecchio, ma sistemano bene e ingenico. la collazione e' nel sorround tranquillo. anche se la zona non e' molto tranquilla, appena entra in hotel Sweet si rilassa. consiglio per la famiglia turistica. non sono itlaiana. cosi' ci sara' qualche errore, ma spero che capiate cosa volevo dire. cmq grazie a hotel Sweet per aver regalato buon rilax.

En general la estancia fue agradable, nos sentimos como en casa. Nos trataron muy bien. Pese a todo es un poco caro, aunque en Roma los precios son así. La habitación era amplia, limpia y, según mi mujer, muy bien decorada, aunque no tenía aire acondicionado, sólo un ventilador en el techo. Por otra parte daba a un deslunado, lo que permitía que hubiera silencio. Está muy bien ubicado al lado de Termini.
