Hotel Champagne Palace

I stayed here as another booking fell through and booked 1 day before while in barcelona. The hotel was right beside Termini, easy to get to all sights on the tourist busses near by. Plenty of dinning houses near by. Room was clean, view was poor. had hot water and clean towels. Many bulbs were not working in the room or bathroom. Over all they were helpfull and spoke english.

Ok hotel, very close to the station. Small rooms, the shower leaked and didnt attach to the wall. very nice and helpfull staff. breakfast on the top floor with good views was basic, jam filled croissants and cereal

Breakfast is only served until 9.30 we only ate here once as we did not enjoy the food at all. The hotel is central to termini metro station the central underground station which is good it is only a 2 minute walk however the night we arrived we did not have a clue where the hotel was and found it hard to find. Our room was also tiny, the bathroom was like a closet. I just was not happy with the room or food at all.

I would always recommend a visit to Rome, but I would not return to this hotel. However, I would stay in the same area as the location was great. A few negatives regarding the Champagne Palace include the hot water. At first we thought there was none, but after getting a member of staff to our room we soon realised the hot water takes a considerable while to warm up. We had to run all the taps (inc the bidet) for several minutes until it was warm enough for a shower.
There are two lovely bar areas with seating, 1 upstairs and 1 downstairs. But unfortunately, they were both closed for the 3 nights we were there. We had no explanation other than there was 'a meeting', but we did not see anyone around. As we were on a weekend away with 2 other couples the bar and lounge area would have been a great place to sit, chat and have a few drinks so this was quite disappointing.
The location of the hotel is excellent, the termini station is literally around the corner where you can jump on a city tour bus (well worth doing) get the train or the metro. The metro is very cheap and 1 euro gets you up to 75 mins of travel. But you can reach most of the sites on foot and it really is the best way to see Rome.

chap on front desk very nice and spoke very good english offered to keep luggage on day of departure untill our flight later in the evening which was very helpful
