Hotel Cambridge

We have used this hotel annually for the last five years.It's conveniently near to Termini station,and does the basics well.Although th he better rooms need to be chosen,as the cheapest rooms are too basic.There is no free WiFi,but that doesn'bother us.Breakfast is good enough although limited to cereals,croissants,bread rolls fruit,yoghurt,cheeses,and tea or coffee,and fruit juices.The staff are always helpful and pleasant.The location may not be perfect for some,but suits our needs well.

Room was very small - mostly the bed but there was an armoire and desk but it was tight. It was clean and comfortable. It had a full sized tub. You aren't allowed to take your room key out of the hotel. I misunderstood that and they weren't happy. You do have to pay the city tax in Euros - no credit card. Good selection of things to eat in the morning. Not far from Termini Station and in a mostly hotel area with lots of food choices all around.

We booked this hotel in an emergency (one of us robbed of passport, credit cards, all money and drivers licence in lift at Termini Station) as we were on way to Rome Airport to fly out. The Ibis hotel where we were staying purported to be booked out on internet although had appeared very quiet during our previous 8 days stay. So we were very grateful to Cambridge Hotel for providing a safe & comfortable roof over our heads whilst friend sorted out emergency passport over next 3 days we were forced to stay on in Rome. We could not fault the hotel for cleanliness or comfort .Staff were not particularly friendly but did all required of them. Regarding Rome as a holiday destination , although stunning for archeological and artistic treasures , just do not go there if you do not have eyes in the back of your head and a surgically sewn on container for your valuables and personal documents. The police are impossibly inert in such a crisis and apart from providing official report for re-documentation and insurance purposes seem totally disinterested in catching the criminals. Go to London, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, Edinburgh, Singapore, rather than Rome if you want to have a snowball’s chance in Hell of not being taken down by the street criminals !!

Consider this hotel only if you are spending more time roaming outside, it's a budget hotel and don't expect too many amenities. But breakfast was decent and the price. The receptionist was cold and not very helpful in the morning but night one old man receptionist was good and helped us.

We enjoyed staying in this hotel. Good location Affordable Clean Small room but comfortable Small lobby but ok No hot Breakfast but still ok Staff very polite We will come back
