Anthony 47

Spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed. I’d stay there again.

2 minutes walk to nearest Metro Station. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Friendly staff, clean and safe.

Nothing

Our room facing the inner courtyard proved to be clean and relatively quiet, except for occasional noise from a nearby room or apartment. The bed was firm yet comfortable, but the overall furnishings appeared dated. Closet space was sufficient, and an old mini-fridge allowed us to store a couple of yogurts. Otherwise, the shared kitchen provided the only means to boil water or prepare coffee; a few coffee pods were offered on a tray in our room. The cleaning staff were friendly. Easy yet safe walkability to the Termini was Anthony 47's best feature.

The lobby, hallway, and shared kitchen space are relatively dark and uninviting. As mentioned, the furnishings appeared dated.

What I liked: Central location with excellent access to bus routes, the metro, and Rome’s main train station. The room was spacious, with a very large bed. Both the room and bathroom were clean, as expected, and there was convenient access to shared kitchen facilities in the common area. Staff were responsive on WhatsApp and it was quite affordable for such a central stay.

What I didn’t like: The air conditioning was not working when we arrived. Initially, I was told to wait, but when we returned in the evening it still wasn’t working. Staff were responsive on WhatsApp and one person came out and tried to diagnose the issue for about 40 minutes, but couldn’t fix it, saying a technician would need to come the following day. When I asked if we could move rooms for the night, I was told there were no available or ready rooms, and that we could only move if it wasn’t fixed the next day. No fan or alternative was offered, so it was quite miserable to sleep in a very warm room in Rome. No compensation was offered. When the AC did work, it was mild even on the maximum setting, but at least it allowed us to get some sleep. The walls do not block noise from outside or other rooms. Heavy doors slam when people come and go, conversations carry easily, and traffic noise is audible (though the area isn’t very busy). Staff start cleaning around 8–9am, and the noise from vacuuming and other work disturbed my partner’s sleep as the room is on the ground floor with a window facing the street. Personally, as a heavy sleeper, I wasn’t too bothered by the noise, but for light sleepers like my partner, it was an issue—bring earplugs. The shower head also needs maintenance—some outlets are clogged, which affects the experience of what should be a pleasant rainfall shower. More attention to detail here would improve the stay.
