Clean, quiet, amenities were great. The receptionist was efficient, professional but very friendly and helpful. She showed me everything I needed to know (including a recommendation for lunch). It was in a good location for me - close to the train station, cafes, supermarket nearby, the Forum is about 15 minutes walk. Very nice place to stay.

The room was clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We were even being offered breakfast. The location closes to everything. The only drawback was the street was noisy during night time.

We had an excellent stay at Merulana Inn Guest House. We booked two connecting rooms, which were clean, comfortable, and had a nice small balcony overlooking the main street. The location is perfect, with plenty of restaurants, shops, and public transportation nearby, making it easy to explore Rome. A special thanks to Karen for her excellent communication before our arrival and for helping arrange our connecting rooms. We also really appreciated the early check-in. The staff were always friendly, welcoming, and happy to help with transportation tips, restaurant recommendations, and any questions we had. Breakfast was simple but good and included with our stay. We highly recommend this place and would happily stay here again!

6/10 Good

We stayed here for one night and it was OK. Good crash pad close to the train station. We felt safe, but the amenities poor in the bathroom is very small. The hotel is located inside a building on the fifth floor. There is an elevator. The bed is incredibly firm and the AC is hit or miss. We actually froze because the AC got stuck on the coldest setting. I will say the blackout shades were a lifesaver, but the area is very loud.

The place and the location are great for a quick weekend getaway, but it was Karen (who works at Merulana) that made our stay. Super attentive and kind, and really made us feel at home. Would recommend Merulana to anyone.

Perfect place for visiting Rome! Nice room, great staff, Karina and Elena were absolutely AMAZING! Very relaxing room, great bed, nice shower, lovely breakfast, great a/c unit. We couldn’t be happier. We will be back❤️❤️

10/10 Exceptional

A really enjoyable stay. The location strikes the perfect balance - close enough to Termini for easy access, but situated in a calm, characterful neighbourhood rather than the chaos around the station. Rooms were comfortable and well-appointed. What stood out most, though, was the staff - genuinely warm and attentive. Karen and Elena in particular made every interaction a pleasure. Would happily return.

Rooms are very clean, staff is super helpful and very sweet! They even gave us some tips on where to eat and what to see. To me the most important thing is the cleanliness of the facility and the rooms and thats why I gave 5 stars. Location is convenient as well! One thing to improve would be to replace the shower curtains more frequently, everything else was perfetto!
