Categories

Cleanliness
8.6
Many guests repeatedly described rooms as clean and tidy; however one guest suffered a cut from an exposed tile edge, showing an isolated maintenance/safety lapse.
Service
7.9
Staff are often described as friendly and helpful (taxi calls, rooftop/bar service), but there are notable failures: inadequate response when a guest needed medical assistance, refusal of late check-out despite availability, and a reception perfume machine that bothered at least one guest.
Location
9.1
Consistently praised for being very close to Roma Termini/metro and excellent for getting around Rome; repeatedly cited as a top feature.
Room Quality
8.2
Rooms described as comfortable with great beds, good size and air conditioning; isolated issues reported (small shower problems, exposed tile causing injury) that lower the score slightly.
Amenities
8.5
Rooftop terrace/bar and breakfast area are highlights and air conditioning praised; some complaints about a small lift and occasional crowding/delays.
Value for Money
8
Generally positive overall value but some guests reported unclear charges for in-room items (wine) and inflexibility on paid late check-out which hurt perceived value.
Food and Beverage
9
Breakfast repeatedly noted as excellent with good variety; rooftop drinks/cocktails praised and terrace dining/view considered a strong plus.
Overall Experience
8.7
Majority of stays described as excellent or highly recommendable (clean, central, charming rooftop), though a few serious service/maintenance incidents tempered some guests' experiences.

Good could have been very good
Pros:

Location and cleanliness and the Terrance cafe staff was vey courteous

Cons:

The property should be very clear about what is chargeable and what is not in the room food items
For instance there were two bottles of wine in the room with no mention of the charge for these or whether they were complimentary

The lift for upper floors was small

Pros:

Proximity to Termini station/Metro, easy to travel across Rome. Quite place. Clean Rooms

Cons:

Had a terrible specific experience. There was a missing tile edge trim in the shower room and in the morning I cut my leg on the exposed sharp piece of ceramic wall. The Hotel Stuff could not call a doctor. They ordered a Taxi to a non existent first aid station (I paid for the taxi) and I had to return back to a hotel and find and arrange a doctor on my own. The stuff fixed the broken part in the wall the same day, but I felt on my own, the stuff did not care about me, no compensation of any sort. Walking with bleeding bandage was painful, the stuff did not even ask if I need something to be brought to my room, like breakfast. Other than this experience, everything else was fine

Absolut empfehlenswertes Hotel
Pros:

Tolle Lage mit 300m vom Bahnhof Termini. Absolut ruhiges Zimmer, trotz Lage zur Straße. Sehr schöne kleine Dachterrasse auf der es auch das Frühstück gibt - mit Blick über Rom aus dem 8.Stockwerk. Bushaltestelle vor dem Hotel war super praktisch.

Pros:

Nice rooms, great roof top bar.

Cons:

We asked for a late check out as my wife was not feeling well, we would have been happy to pay for this but we were told they could not help us as the hotel was full. However when I went online I had a choice of rooms to choose from for the day we were leaving.

Pros:

Location, location, location! We could see termini from our window. Our room was a good size for the two of us and the bed was fantastic. The lift was a godsend and the rooftop terrace and bar was an excellent surprise. Beware of Louise, you have to stay with your food or she’ll eat it

Wonder Hotel
Pros:

We went to Italy as a birthday celebration and decided to stay at the Independent Hotel. The staff were always friendly and happy to help. The room was clean and tidy. The view from the restaurant/bar on the top floor was was simply stunning, particularly at night. The breakfast had a good variety to chose from, and the drinks were amazing! We were particularly fond of the cocktails. It's in the perfect location to catch transportation. The reception will happily call you a taxi if you need one too. Everything was a short distance away. The atmosphere was very pleasant. It was cosy and charming. The air conditioning was a life saver after being out in the July Italian heat!
