Raeli Hotel Luce

Location was excellent! Cannot stress that enough. Literally 4 min walk from Termini station. You can get the train and metro here. I got the leonardo Express train from Fiumicino airport and it took 32 mins. Runs regularly (15mins) and there are always plenty of seats. You can purchase tickets at the station very easily from the machines. Also at the station there are all sorts of shops from clothing to makeup to fast food to healthy food, and a supermarket. If you walk around, there is a food hall at the back with a bar. The food court is called Mercato Centrale Roma. Lots of choice for food at the different stalls. Luckily my room was on the first floor, so wifi was strong. The windows of the room were sound proof. Couldn't hear any noise from outside, which was brilliant. Beds were comfy. The staff cleaned our rooms daily, replenished towels etc. It's about 20min to walk to the Coliseum from the hotel. There are nice restaurants and cafes dotted nearby, and if you need a late night snack, there is a convenience store literally opposite the hotel. All in all, this place is great value for money and I would definitely recommend the hotel.

The interior of the rooms could do with an update. Felt dated/old. Would be nice to have tea/coffee making facilities. Iron and ironing board would be a massive help. The pipe for the shower was leaking. Majority of the water came from the leaking pipe than the shower head. Shower cubicle is very tight. Couldn't control the air con. You had to enter a pin. Would be nice to have some control over that. Would be nice to have more of fruit selection at breakfast, and/or vegan pastry selection. Freshly squeezed orange juice would have been great, there was orange juice there but watered down. The airport shuttle to the airport isnt free. You have to purchase tickets from another shop and go to the bus station.
