We stayed at the Best Western Plus Universo for 4 nights and the hotel was stellar. It's just a few blocks from the Basilica of St. Mary Maggiore. Just an FYI, Uber is quite expensive in Rome, if you need a cab just go out and flag a white cab or ask the front desk to get a car service to the airport. It's not as costly as Uber.

Hotel is conveniently located between the transportation hubs and the area attractions. Staff is very friendly and helpful, the hotel is very up to date, clean and comfortable in regards to staying there for several days. Great restaurants all around especially those mom and pop hole in the wall places that have great food.I would stay there again. On the other side of things travelocity notes all I will be paying upon check out is the city tax of 7.50 euros per person per day (67.5 Euro) nothing about a 3% tip added on to the bill which jacked the bill up approx 30 Euros before converted into USD

Excellent modern facilities and rooms, too-notch service, and beautiful, elegant hotel maintained extremely clean and well. Hotel staff is very courteous, polite, professional. The location is very convenient and close to many key locations, very good for walking. It is also very close to the train terminal and the Hop On-Hop-Off meeting point. The food is delicious, with a very large assortment of fresh food for the buffet breakfast. The bedroom was extremely clean with very comfortable bedding, bathroom was fully loaded with different towels, soaps, creams, even packaged environment friendly toothbrushes, toothpaste. We were treated like royalty throughout the entire visit. We highly recommend this hotel.

★★★★★ 5/5 — The Best Hotel I’ve Ever Stayed In! The Best Western Plus Hotel Universo in Rome exceeded all my expectations. It is, without a doubt, the most beautiful and comfortable hotel I’ve ever stayed in. From the very first moment, the staff was simply wonderful—kind, attentive, and always willing to help. The cleanliness deserves a 100/100. Everything was spotless, from the room to the common areas. I truly felt at home, but with all the luxury of a top hotel. The location is also excellent, perfect for exploring Rome. If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would. Highly recommended and I can’t wait to return!
