Our first impression of the hotel was good as you had to ring a bell to get in. It was encouraging to know that it was a safe place to stay. We got our key and was told our room was down the hall and to the left. We walked into what we thought was our room, only to find... More

My parents stayed at the Merulana Star. The neighborhood was a bit seedy, though thats a bit expected since its near termini. That said, there are some good restaurants in walking distance. Though the hotel managers were nice..... the rooms were inadequate, incredibly small. The "Terrible" rating though comes from the fact that both my parent's room key, and their... More

On arriving into Rome with no luggage (it was lost on our flight over there), the man behind the desk, Guiseppe, was so lovely!! He gave us soap and shampoo and a directions to where we could buy basic clothing/toiletries/etc. It was exactly what we needed after a long flight and lost luggage. We were provided with a kettle for... More

This is a nice clean place in a good location. Only downside is that when we asked about wifi we were told it is 5 euro extra. Also, when we asked how the AC worked since it was 90+ degrees outside he told us "the room has it...but it's extra". The extra charges made us a bit sour about our... More

I'm convinced that a hotels/guest houses are always a mirror of owners. Merulana's owners are great people so they made a very good place. The hotel is situated in a home-building, rooms are a little bit small but enough to have a good sleep after your trudged your legs. In room you have all you necessaries also minibar and flatscreen... More

We arrived late at night by taxi and the whole street was boarded up so when the taxi driver rang a bell on the building wall we were very skeptical. However once inside we were pleasantly surprised. This in a hotel within an apartment building so doesn't look anything like a hotel from the street. However the next morning the... More

I stayed in Merulana Star with my partnet and our 5-year-old daughter. The hotel is located in superb location, just 10-15 minutes of SLOW walking and you find yourself next to Colosseum and all historical sites!!! Many shops/bars/restaurans/cafes near the hotel, and we did even find a supermarket on a side street across the road. The only weak point of... More

My friend and I stayed at the Merulana Star last year June 2009 for a mere 55 EUR per room, not including A/C. I was a bit hesitant since it was so incredibly cheap, but my worries were put to shame. The hotel is located on the 1st floor in a residential building. It was extremely difficult for us to... More

We booked the hotel through internet after read some good reviews. We booked 2 rooms for 6 people, cost 70 euro per room. We chose the hotel because of the price and location. The hotel was relatively close to Vittorio Emanuele station (2 stop from termini station). Just make sure you know how to go the hotel since from underground... More
