My husband and I stayed at Hotel Selene on the last day of our trip to Italy. We chose to spend our last night there because it was close to Termini and we needed to catch an early flight the next morning. While the hotel is close to the train station, we found a lot things lacking. Here were the main issues we encountered: - The TV did not work - There was a rather large hole in the ceiling close to the overhead light fixture - The bedspread was stained - The shower drain clogged - we had water up to our calves as we were taking showers I do want to mention that the staff was pleasant and we had no issues with our reservation. We were not able to try the breakfast becasuse we had to leave for the airport very early. Based on the issues we had, I would not recommed this hotel, with so many others in Rome to choose from,

We paid 135 Euros a night for a double room. The room was modern and nicely furnished. It had a bathroom with a shower which was nice, and had a hairdryer. The room had a TV (with CNN and Eurosports for English speakers), mini fridge and a safe. The bed was comfortable and the furniture nice. The location of the hotel is great. Only a five minute walk from the train station. We walked to all of the sights (about 10 min walk to Trevi fountain, 15 to Colosseum, 30 mins to vatican). The walks in Rome all seem quite short as there is so much to see on the way to anything! The breakfast was nice. A European breakfast with bread, pastries, crereal, boiled eggs, ham, cheese, fruit, yogurt. Couldn't fault the hotel and would stay here again.

This hotel is exactly what I expected of a hotel in Rome. Not the most stylish but met all our needs perfectly. It's in a great location just down from Termini station and also just off Via di Nationale which is a lovely street to walk and have bit to eat. The reception area is funny as it's not in the hotel and I didn't find the reception staff too friendly. The porter who took our bags up was very nice. The room was a good size, very clean, small bathroom but a good shower. The bed linen was changed every day and fresh towels left in every day also. The breakfast was good, you got a buffet that met all needs from coffee/tea to toast to cereal to fruit and yoghurt. The lay out of the hotel is a bit funny you enter off the street and climb about 2 x 5 steps up to the lift. You go up 3 stories and you come to a door that looks like a fire escape, you need your room card to get inside this door. Then you walk through the dining room to get to the bedrooms which I thought a little odd but the building had 3 hotels in it so hence the 3rd floor was hotel selene. For the price and location I would recommend it and would definetly go back again
