Our first stay in Rome, and the BW Plus Univero was outstanding. Upgraded room, with two floors, chic and modern, with a great bathroom. Bed was comfortable, quiet, very safe. We enjoyed their breakfast and it was amazing, many gluten-free options, fresh and stocked well. Had our first of many cappuccinos. Staff was friendly, helpful and professional. We were very impressed.

As our first time in Rome we had no clue where to go. The fact this hotel was a 2 minute walk to the main train station, and had amazing food options within a 30 second to 5 minute walk was fantastic. Location is amazing and couldn’t imagine being in a better spot. Room AC seemed slow at first to cool down too but every time we came back to the room it was very cool at 17 or 18 degrees. The rooftop bar was a very nice place to go in the evening to have a drink and overlook Rome. Staff were friendly and had a good menu. Staff was extremely nice, friendly and very accommodating for all our requests. Highly recommended and would definitely stay here again.

Close to Termini. Many restaurants and bars around the area. Easy access to metro. Spacious family room though our balcony opened to the air conditioning units (which worked very well - a nice escape from the hot afternoon sun). We had an issue with an insect that was taken care of very quickly by the staff which was great. Thank you

Expensive but smelly hotel in a good location next to the Termini train station with lovely building but small, overpriced rooms; ours reeked of sewage gas that emanated from the toilet night and day. The room was also not just small, cramped and cluttered - but had an unusual overhang of drywall over the bed upon which anyone over 5 feet tall (approx 1.5 meters) would hit their head when they sit down. The staff tried to be helpful but English skills were minimal and spotty. The restaurant service [bar and food] personnel were awful, annoyed at being asked for a plate or fork - or just nonexistent, watching TV and avoiding the table. The food was fair. Not good value for the money.
