I was comfortable here. The location was great. I was just annoyed bc it was obvious they didn’t actually clean the bathroom when they did housekeeping. The toilet began to smell after several days. It could’ve used a proper cleaning.

We chose the Best Western Plus Hotel Universo as it is walking distance from the Rome train station. We were upgraded to a larger room with sofa bed. It suited us very well. The breakfast had a lot of options and staff was very attentive with coffee orders. We ate dinner one night at the restaurant which served some Roman classics and it was good. Overall, would stay again and recommend this hotel.
