Hotel Donatello

I went on a trip with my friend from April 6th to 9th. The hotel is actually much better than we expected. Last year, some friends of ours traveled to Rome and also stayed at Termini, but in a different hotel. They didn't have a very good experience with the area, but we really enjoyed it. The room has everything you need to feel welcome. The bathroom is super clean, the beds are very comfortable, and every morning they come to clean the room and leave it looking brand new. We also had a problem with the hairdryer in the bathroom, as it suddenly stopped working, but we went down to reception right away and they gave us a new one. The staff at reception are also super friendly. The first day we arrived, we asked them a little about the area and places we could visit, and with a map, they showed us all the key points of Rome and also all the places where we could eat well. Plus, we checked out at 10:00 a.m., but the bus to the airport didn't arrive until 2:30 p.m., so we were able to leave our backpacks at reception so we wouldn't have to carry them around all morning. It's super well-connected, as you can easily walk everywhere, so if you have good weather, take advantage of the opportunity to walk. There's also the tram, literally a minute from the hotel door, and the Manzoni metro station or the Victor Mannuele metro station are about a five-minute walk away (we took this one to go to the Vatican, as it's a bit far). It's true that the nightlife is quite crowded with people living on the streets, but the truth is, they don't even approach you or anything. The street is quite busy, both with locals and tourists staying there, so we didn't feel unsafe at any time. There are plenty of shops near the station to buy souvenirs, and as a food recommendation, I recommend the pizzas at the Temple of Minerva restaurant or the pasta and tiramisu at the Imperium restaurant. The overall experience was superb. The hotel is very affordable, making it a great choice for traveling to Rome. The only thing I would change is the pillows, as I'm used to sleeping on larger pillows, but this is a personal preference. Thank you so much for the friendly service and the great experience. We're leaving very, very happy. 💖🇮🇹
