HOTEL SELECT GARDEN, Rome

The hotel sits on a peaceful side street just off via Marsala, making it easy to locate from Termini's main exit. Termini provides connections to metro lines A and B, buses to the airport, and the Leonardo Express train. Major attractions such as the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, and Spanish Steps are within a 20-30 minute walk or a short metro ride. The surrounding area has numerous restaurants, bars, and shops. No on-site parking is available, but public transport is excellent. The quiet square and garden create a calm base despite the central location.

The hotel offers triple rooms (queen and single bed) and double rooms. Condition varies: refurbished rooms are modern and spacious, while older rooms can be small, with worn décor, firm mattresses, and some reports of mould in bathrooms.

A lift serves first and second floors for selected rooms; others require stairs. Free WiFi is available throughout, though signal can be weak in garden annex rooms.

Evening entertainment like live music or themed dinners is available at an extra charge. A snack bar, vending machines, and breakfast-in-room service are also offered.
