The place was ok when we checked in but shortly after there was a gas smell. We checked with the front desk and were told that it was not the first time. The cleck came in the room and sprayed air freshner and told us that should fix the smell. Both one of my kids and I started getting massive headaches and then Nausea. We found anotyer hotel and left as we didnt feel safe. As if today, we have yet to be reimbursed for both the room and the tourist tax.

Good breakfast option! We love it specially the milk! People in charge of the breakfast are nice. The hotel is close to termini station. The only downside is they’re renovating some of the rooms. So, the area near the elevator at the lobby is messy and dusty.

One Night Stay at Hotel Caliornia in Rome

Check-in was easy. Staff was friendly and helpful. They allowed us to store our luggage since it was not check-in time yet. Very simple room, seemed clean. However, no conditioner, and the vent was putting out a bad smell. (sewage like). I sprayed the sheets with perfume and cologne to help. We were just there overnight. The hotel offers a very nice breakfast spread with cheeses/meats and other options like scrambled eggs, breads, and juices.

We loved how close it was to Roma Termini. It was about a 3 block walk from Termini. We were able to take the Leonardo Express train from the airport to Roma Termini and then walk to the hotel. We also walked to the Colosseum which took about 15-20 minutes. We also walked to the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps, which took about 25-30 minutes each way. The hotel common areas looked a bit run down but the room was fairly modern. The bathroom was very nice and spacious. We had 2 sinks in our Quadruple room. The breakfast was good with scrambled eggs and cut up hot dogs, croissants and cereals. We feel we saved a lot of money on eating out and taxis. The metro is also nearby at Roma Termini if you want to go to the Vatican.
