About

Roma Story 2

Roma Story 2 sits in the Esquilino neighbourhood, one of Rome's most central residential areas. Termini, the city's main train station, is close by, and the surrounding streets are packed with budget eateries and local shops. The Vatican Museums are roughly 4.2 km away, while the Colosseum is near enough to reach on foot — a route that takes you past the Gelateria San Clemente, a handy stop for coffee and treats.

The hotel was recently remodelled, and guests consistently mention the clean, comfortable rooms. Each comes with a flat-screen TV, central heating, and a mini fridge — useful for keeping drinks cold during a Roman summer. The triple room adds a street view, and all rooms are air-conditioned. Facilities are modest but well-kept: a lift, free Wi-Fi, and a massage service are available, and pets are welcome.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited on-site facilities — The hotel keeps things simple — there's no restaurant or gym, and the facilities score is the lowest category at 7.0.
  • Check-in window is narrow — You can only check in between 13:00 and 20:00 — arriving later means making alternative arrangements.
  • No parking on site — While a car park is listed among amenities, the policy details show no parking option, so driving may be tricky in this central area.
  • Value score slightly lower — At 7.9, the value rating trails other categories by a small margin — reflecting that prices can edge high for the simple rooms.
