air conditioning marginal and noise level was horrific seeing that to cool the room we had to open the windows. the bed was absolutely the worst bed I have ever slept on in my life.

We stayed for 4 nights in May 2008. The room was spacious an clean but had no view (better not opening the windows). The bathroom was nice and we just had a problem of water sinking in the shower at the begining but the staff fixed it right after I mentionned it. The breakfast was nice. The walls are a bit thin so I heard or neighbours talking and more than that. But nothing to make your night a nightmare. I would recommend it.

We stayed in Rome for 4 nights. It was our first time in Rome and at Hotel Fiamma. We had a very good time but unfortunately we couldn't see all the sights because it was a national holiday (25th April) and for 3 days Rome was overcrowded with endless queues everywhere and the sights were literally covered with people. The location of the hotel is convenient, next to the central station, as to the room it could be cleaner and as to the staff,some of them could be friendlier. There are good trattorias near the hotel with very good food.

this hotel was represented very well by Venere, my room was very comfortably large for a single room in Europe, also furnishings were nice, painted and decorative, bathroom good, and room very clean, also nice staff at desk, English well-spoken. Good value for price, and decent breakfast. Would definitely stay at Fiamma again.

We booked 2 double rooms and 1 triple for a group of us -- were surprised that the "double rooms" did not consist of one regular sized bed, but two twin beds. The breakfast was good -- the location was a little off the beaten path. One of our cab drivers had a hard time finding the hotel.

We only stayed one night in order to catch our flight out. The hotel offered all we needed - the room was spacious and clean, reception is not big and breakfast was nothing special but we wre not looking for that. Area around hotel is not great but you do not have to walk far for transport. Found a very well priced and good food trattoris in same street about 100 metres other way. Would recommend this place

We were sent to another hotel because there had been problems with the water-pipes. In the other hotel there were no twin-bed-rooms (the whish for this was the reason we ordered such a long time in advance): We asked if it then was possible to have a price-reduction and were just sent away in a very rude way!

Everything was fine except one of the receptionist who was trying to convince me about a broken AC unit which was obviously was broken, the electrician guy doesn`t have a clue about the ACs or just he was so patient and slowly... but of course I was suffering in that sauna not him..But at the end of the day another receptionist gave me another room where everything was GREAT!

Hotel itself was OK and reasonably priced. Location left a lot to be desired with tree lined approach road smelling strongly of urine thanks to the many down and outs inhabiting the Termini area.

For convenient location close to Termini and with good access (walking and public transport) to all the main sights the Fiamma is fine. Our very comfortable first floor room was directly over the junction but we weren't unduly bothered by noise and though the place is not the Ritz, you are not paying high prices! The dining room is perhaps a little claustrophobic but a very adequate buffet breakfast of cereals, nice pastries and fruit (as well as the ususal continental processed cheeses, salami and spam!) was included and the staff were courteous and helpful. The fact that a train direct from the airport took us to within comfortable walking distance of our room was a real plus. AND just across the road is a really good tratoria were we ate each evening of our stay (try the dried beef and rocket salad starter, pork chop and house red...)

This is the best hotel for the price range I have stayed at in Rome. It is close to the 'sights' and to Roma Termini, but is by far the quietest hotel I have ever encountered in Rome. I would certainly recommend it.

Hotel Fiamma is perfectly located near termini and therefore is at most a 20 minute walk from the trevi fountain and from there perhaps 10 minutes to the spanish steps. The hotel is clean (rooms are cleaned, sheets are replaced every morning), and the staff is helpful. Hotel Fiamma is VERY BASIC though,so those looking to splurge on room service or go in a pool should not go to hotel fiamma, but for those who spend the whole day roaming rome, as me and my boyfriend did, hotel fiamma is perfect for just coming home to and having a nice night. P.S. The hotel is quite cheap and breakfast is included.

I have been in Rome a lot of times, always in different hotels and locations. I have booked 2 rooms in my name, the first one was ok, the second one had problems with water linkage from the airconditioning unit. The hotel was fuly booked and the room change was not the case. Unfortunately very serious problems of maintance are more than obvious in this hotel.

Stayed here for 1 night in June '06 - hotel was great for the last minute price €110. couldn't get the air con to work properly, so the room was hotter than we would have wished. Didn't spend too much time in the room, so not a big deal. I would recommend this hotel.

Nice hotel. Not in the best part of town but only a 2 minute walk from the main railway station. Rooms are small but fine. breakfast is excellent - good selection. service was good too at reception desk, spoke pretty good english. Overall stay was excellent, however watch out for those maids, my friend ( foolishly I know ) left his digital camera in the room and on our return later that evening it was gone. A shrug of the shoulders from reception was the best we could get.

The location of the hotel and its services met our needs during an extended stay in Roma. It was close to train station for accessing other transportation, etc. Staff were helpful and were resourceful in providing references for places for evening dining. The cucina recommended reflected home cooked meals/entrees - - went twice. The room was a nice size and met our needs. The hotel was recommended by a friend who stayed there with a tour group several years ago. If in Roma again, we would book again. Thank you.

Fiamma is a budget hotel. It should be looked upon as that. Four nights in November cost me €280. Both checking in and checking out were done within a matter of minutes. I stayed in a single room on the 4th floor which faced onto the main road. There was some noise from the traffic outside during the day but between midnight and 6am it was virtually silent. The room was fit for the purpose that I required. It was clean and tidy as was the bathroom. The bathroom was very compact but it did the job. I enjoyed the breakfasts which although simple were good. Cooked meats, bread, hard boiled eggs, cereal, juices. You could really fill up for the day ahead with as much as you wanted. I especially enjoyed the breakfast coffee which comprised of a beaker of coffee and a beaker of hot milk. As a single traveler I think I got about 5 cups of coffee out of that. The breakfast staff were excellent. Within a matter of minutes of being seated you were presented with coffee. The location was excellent. I got the bus from the airport which stops at the side of the main tran station. The hotel was a 2 minute walk along the same road heading north. Its also close to 2 metro stations, I preferred to use the Republica station.

Les prix sont généralement chers pour les hôtels à Rome. Celui-ci affichait normalement la chambre double à 127 euros mais en dernière minute, le prix proposé était de 100 euros. L'hôtel est bien situé si l'on souhaite à la fois la tranquilité la nuit, mais aussi la proximité des moyens de transport le jour (3 minutes à pied des départs de bus près la gare Termini). Un intérêt tout particulier est le petit-déjeuner. Le buffet propose brioches, croissants (à l'italienne), céréales, divers jus de fruits, fruits, jambon, fromage, oeufs, café, lait, chocolat, lait, etc. Le tout à volonté. L'accueil est professionnel. Le personnel est disponible, serviable, mais la relation restera distante (ce n'est pas une pension ou un hôtel familial). Sinon, concernant Rome, c'est un rêve pour le yeux tant il y a de choses à voir. Les gens sont sympas, l'ambiance est assez zen dès que l'on quitte les rues encombrées de scooters, smarts ou autres véhicules bruyants et polluants. Attention aux horaires d'ouverture des lieux en cette période. Notamment la sixteen qui n'ouvre que le matin. Prévoir de s'y rendre dès l'ouverture (8h15) si l'on veut éviter une heure de queue et avoir la frustration ensuite de ne pas avoir tout vu. D'autres lieux comme la villa borghese nécessitent une réservation la veille (c'est aussi le cas des jardins du Vatican). Prévoir 5 jours pour être sûr de couvrir la plupart des lieux intéressants à visiter. Globalement, l'hôtel comme la ville sont à recommander.

This isn't a review of Fiamma as they had some structural problems and sent us to one of their sister hotels - Hotel Viminale - also part of Lionardi chain. Also 3 stars with same facilities and a bit more convenient for the city centre. Good locations and restaurants and bars nearby. Price as quoted by Fiamma even though higher rack rate.

On arrival at hotel Fiamma we were informed that the group had changed our booking to another hotel (Hotel Sevilgia). This was approximately 500m further away and made without any prior consultation. Only after protracted negotiation was a taxi provided for the transfer.

The hotel looked good and our room was nice and spacious. Unfortunately, although the bathroom was spotlessly clean there was a very unpleasant smell which seemed to come from the drains and it really made you want to avoid the bathroom. Also, although not too far from the main tourist areas, the hotel's location felt a little bit unsafe once it got dark. This is not a hotel we would choose to stay in again.

Good rooms, good location. Enjoyed a good breakfast. The only disappointment was a lack of communication. We arrived in Rome at 2 am. When we got to the Fiamma, we were told that we had been booked in to one of their other hotels, which was then another 10 minute walk. We would have apppreciated this information beforehand since we booked well in advance. But we were not dissappointed once we got there. Overall quite content.

Upon late arrival for a seven day stay, check-in was friendly and smooth. First impression of room (1st Floor at rear of property) was, spartan i.e. small and narrow with a steel frame bedstead. The pristine bathroom, with all amenities provided and functioning, including an unusually spacious, for this area and price range, double-door, walk-in shower cubicle, was almost a big as the room. However, the bed proved to be extremely comfortable and the pillows (which, for me can make or break a holiday) were good quality and very comfortable. The room was maintained in a spotless conditiom throughout my stay. There was, on most evenings, some domestic family noises from adjacemt properties in the block but these were never intrusive and did not go into the early hours. Thoughtless hotel guests, on the other hand, did waken me a couple of times with loud conversations in the corridors and careless slamming of doors. Breakfast was the expected "Continental" buffet and, although repetitive, was more than adequate for re-fuelling for the days meanderings with plenty of fruit provided as well. All staff were invariable civil and helpful throughout my stay and I would have absolutely no hesitation in returning to the "Faimma"
