CROSTI HOTEL, Rome

The hotel is set just off the prestigious Via XX Settembre, surrounded by embassies and banks, and the Church of Santa Maria della Vittoria is around the corner. Roma Termini station is a 10-minute walk, providing rail links across the city and to airports via the Leonardo Express train. Metro stations on lines A and B (Castro Pretorio and Repubblica) are within a 5-10 minute walk, and multiple bus stops are nearby. The area is quiet at night but offers many restaurants, bars, and a large supermarket within a short walk, making it practical for dining and shopping. Most of Rome's historic attractions, such as the Trevi Fountain and Colosseum, are within a 20-30 minute walk or a short metro ride, so a car is not needed.

Each room is air-conditioned and includes a private bathroom with a shower, hairdryer, and free toiletries, along with a minibar, electric kettle, flat-screen satellite TV, wardrobe, and safety deposit box. Free Wi-Fi is provided in all rooms. Room sizes vary: some are described as spacious with high ceilings and inner courtyard views, while others are compact or have unusual layouts. Bed setups may consist of a small double bed or two single beds pushed together-a preference can be specified during booking. Some rooms face the street and may experience noise, while inner-facing rooms tend to be quieter. Air conditioning control can be inconsistent, and in some rooms the unit is located behind a curtain near the floor, which may take time to cool the room. The bathrooms in some rooms are newly renovated, while others show signs of wear such as old fixtures or mould. A lift is available (after 5-6 steps from the entrance).

Breakfast is served in a basement dining room as a continental buffet that includes bread, pastries, cakes, yogurt, fresh fruit, cereals, scrambled eggs, sausages, cheese, ham, and good coffee from a machine. Vegan options such as soy milk are available, and the breakfast staff are described as friendly and efficient. Early departures can often receive a packed breakfast to go. The spread is generally considered generous for the price, though some items like croissants may occasionally be less fresh, and the variety remains the same each day. The surrounding streets offer many well-regarded restaurants and pizzerias within a short walk, including an Asian-Italian place directly opposite the hotel that is highly noted.

Wi-Fi is free and available throughout the hotel, with good speed reported. Reception is open from 07:00 to 23:00; arrivals after 23:00 incur a EUR 30 surcharge and must be confirmed with the property.
