HOTEL FELICE, Rome

The hotel is situated in the trendy San Lorenzo neighbourhood, known for its authentic restaurants, bars, and lively atmosphere popular with locals. Public transport is excellent: the Termini metro and train station is a 15-minute walk away, and numerous bus lines stop nearby, including bus 71 which connects to major attractions. The Colosseum is a 25-minute walk (2 km), while the historic centre can be reached by bus in about 20 minutes. For those arriving by car, private parking is available at a nearby location for €20 per day by reservation. Airport transfers to/from Fiumicino (35 km) and Ciampino can be arranged for an additional fee. The surrounding streets offer many dining options, with restaurants like Saltimbocca San Lorenzo and Osteria Pesce Fritto e Baccala within a 5-minute walk. While the area around Termini can feel busy, the hotel's street is quieter; however, some have noted the immediate vicinity can feel less safe at night, so caution is advised when walking after dark.

The hotel provides a variety of room types, including doubles, triples, suites, and economy rooms. Room features include a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, soundproof walls, heating, and a tea/coffee maker. Some rooms include a minibar, terrace with city views, and air conditioning (available in select rooms, sometimes at an extra charge). Rooms with private bathrooms are available, but many budget and economy rooms have shared bathroom facilities - this must be confirmed at booking. Rooms vary significantly in size and condition; some are modern and clean, while others are reported as small, dated, or needing maintenance. Road-facing rooms can be noisy due to street and neighbouring restaurant/bar activity, and soundproofing is limited, with noise from hallways and adjacent rooms easily heard. Rooms generally do not have a wardrobe or fridge, and some lack natural ventilation. Air conditioning is not standard; during summer months, the provided fan is often insufficient to keep the room cool. Rooms are cleaned daily, with towel changes every two days.

Breakfast is available for an additional charge of €3 and consists of a pre-packed hamper delivered to the room. Contents include packaged croissants, bread slices, cornflakes, jam, Nutella, and coffee capsules. Gluten-free and vegan options are available upon request. Guests prepare their coffee using capsules in a common area on the terrace. The breakfast is basic and not a buffet; it is best suited for a quick start to the day. For a more substantial meal, the hotel is surrounded by numerous restaurants and cafés within a 5-minute walk, catering to various tastes. The hotel does not have its own restaurant or bar, but a welcome drink may be offered on arrival. Packed lunches can be requested for day trips.

For relaxation, the hotel features a garden terrace and a reading room. The terrace is a pleasant space for breakfast or an evening drink from nearby bars. The hotel can arrange bike tours and walking tours (for an additional charge), and a golf course is within 3 km. There is no swimming pool, spa centre, or fitness facilities on site. The garden terrace provides the primary outdoor leisure option.

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the building and in all rooms, though speed can be variable. Luggage storage is offered free of charge before check-in and after check-out. Reception is open from 07:00 to 19:00, providing tourist information, ticket booking, and tour arrangements, as well as airport shuttle booking (additional fee). Express check-in/out is available. Other services include laundry and ironing (for a fee), fax/photocopying, and public transport ticket sales. The hotel has a safety deposit box, 24-hour security, and key card access to rooms. Family-friendly features include family rooms, strollers, and cots (on request). Business facilities are limited to fax/photocopying. The hotel does not have a lift (elevator); rooms are on the first floor, which may be an accessibility issue for some guests. Daily housekeeping is provided, and towels are changed every two days.
