A wonderful stay! In all, I would give it a 9/10. The location is very convenient - about 15 minutes walk to the Trevi, all the major sights are walkable. Dining options nearby were excellent — there’s a little cafe right beside the hotel that I would recommend, where they sell delicious sandwiches. Plus a grocery store across the street that is great for picking up snacks. While you’re here, you have to check out Santa Maria Maggiore, an absolutely awe inspiring church just down the street. The customer service was exceptional, and they were incredibly accommodating. The amenities were great. The only drawback I could think of is the noise - it gets to be a bit noisy at night, and the building is old so if people are being loud in the halls you can hear it. However, I am a very light sleeper and was able to sleep through the night with no issues. There was also only one outlet that worked with the adapter I had brought, which had otherwise worked at every other hotel I had been to. Overall, a pleasant stay.

Matresses were really good. The room has a safe. Across the hotel there is a convenience store great if you want a glass of wine and some snacks in the room after a long day of sightseeing. The pillows are prety bad. Flat and uncomfortable. Lots of restaurants and coffee shops around.

This place sucked all the happiness from my trip to Italy. Do not book this Hotel. This place doesn’t look even close as on pictures. Everything damaged, old, dusty, mold, outlets are unsafe, beds are horrible. Why Expedia allows this hotel here with the pictures that don’t match to reality it’s the other question

The hotel was simple and plain. The rooms are a little small. Beds, nightstand, no sofa or chairs. The beds were pretty comfortable, and within 20 mins walk from most things. Termini train station was under a 10 min walk. The room was clean and no issues. TV was a smart tv, and we logged into our Netflix acct. Hardly spent much time in the room, but it was comfortable and clean for the price. I would stay here again at these rates. Everything needed was nearby, food, pharmacy, and shops.

The hotel is a small property nestled between buildings. I was misguided by the profile picture of the hotel. Instead it is a typical small Roman hotel. The rooms were tiny with a non working AC. Not that we still needed it as the weather was still cool something to keep in mind during summer months. The saving grace was the proximity to termini station and some other major attractions . Plenty of restaurants around. Overall we could do better.

This is the first time I have ever left a negative review but feel like I should do so can be helpful to other tourists. This hotel was the worst one of the whole 5 hotels I have booked for our entire Europe trip. Very very noisy, couldn’t sleep at all. The only time was quiet for the whole night possibly only at 4am-5am. My husband said there was a cockroach in the room too.

Dear customer, we are sorry to read your review without having first explained your discomfort in sleeping to the reception.We could have found an alternative solution and also tried to change the room that did not meet your needs only for sleeping. We are truly sorry that you have exposed the problem to our hotel as we do everything to please our customers who are on holiday in Romethe cockroaches seem strange to us as the rooms are carefully cleaned every day even at the stop as sometimes the suitcases can bring unwelcome insects into the hotelsThank you for your review which helps us improve stays for future guests

Hotel Sonya is a great place to stay. It to walkable to most of the main attractions. The staff was fantastic and met all our needs. Lots on food options nearby. It is located less than a five minute walk from the train station, which was very convenient. We would stay here again on our next trip to Rome.

Hotel was amazing , staff friendly someone downstairs all night. Anything we needed they had all hours of the night ice, iron , hair dryer they were right there if we needed them. Secure door downstairs needed key to get in which was nice since 3 women traveling alone. Air conditioning in room worked great . Water pressure in shower wonderful never ran out of hot water for 3 women that’s amazing ! Directly across the street coffee, breakfast, grocery store. 5 min walk to main terminal train, bus, metro. We lucked out when we booked this hotel!!!

There were numerous fantastic restaurants near the property. We couldn’t eat fast enough to try them all! The hotel room was quite run down, the beds were rock hard and the bathroom and shower were TINY. We had to step over the foot bath to get to the commode. The staff were lovely people and the location was outstanding.

The hotel itself was clean and the staff was friendly. Came during the off season with beautiful mid 60's weather so the window's were open, so I have no opinion on the installed AC units. The elevator broke on our last day (we were on the 5th floor), but they were fixing it while we checked out that morning. The bed was very firm, that's about the only complaint, otherwise, it was a good stay over all.

I was pleasantly surprised how nice the hotel was. I was stranded for a couple days in Rome and decided to spend a couple days here. It was a last minute thing. I am just booked based on location. Upon arriving at the hotel, it surpasses my expectation comparing to the hotel i spent previously. It is very clean and have a beautiful view and breakfast was included which i didnt expect it.

I had gotten bumped from my flight and was so happy to find this hotel with 24 hour desk service. There are several stores and restaurants nearby. Cussltomer service is a priority. The bed is the most comfortable I've slept in after being in 5 hotels in the last few weeks. Ron is very clean and offers a nice amount is storage, va small fridge, v desk, very clean bathroom with hot water, a toilet and bedee, and very condors towels. Can adjust the heat and item windows without issue. I am from a city so nose does not bother me. There was a concert that wrapped up at 8 pm. Only bosses were traffic and restaurant patrons until early morning when recycling and trash trucks are loud and there was an odd noise at 7am, like vacuuming or work being done close by. If definitely stay here again and if I did not know I was a couple blocks from Termini, one would not know. It's very convenient to busses and trains and walkable. As with every city, watch phones and wallets in Rome.

Pros: close to train station room was average, not super fancy but still nice complimentary water but tasted disgusting (better off drinking from the fountains) good amount of towels but need to request new ones by leaving them on the ground Cons: beds were alright if not a bit hard blankets could be better and felt like they weren’t really washed the worst part was definitely dealing with the staff- extremely confusing and frustrating given that they switch staff members every couple hours or so and their understanding of english seems to be limited given the amount of misunderstandings we had when trying to resolve the issue, staff was not very accommodating or helpful but rather dismissive and condescending. overall, I would have chosen a different hotel somewhere else in the city and even splurged more to have more pleasant staff and avoid the headache. save yourself the trouble and book somewhere else.
