Location
'Hotel Center 2' boasts a strategically advantageous location that has garnered positive feedback from guests, predominantly for its easy accessibility and proximity to key transportation hubs. Situated near Rome's main train station, Termini, the hotel offers convenient access to buses, trams and the metro, making it an ideal base for exploring the city. The hotel is just a 10-15 minute walk from Termini Station and a 15-20 minute stroll can get you to popular landmarks like the Colosseum and Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore.

The neighborhood features numerous good restaurants and a peaceful environment despite being close to bustling transit routes. Guests have also found the connectivity to public transport and the central location beneficial for reaching major attractions without much hassle. While the walk from Termini to the hotel is noted by some as less than pleasant due to the area’s roughness and occasional dirtiness, the convenience for the price makes it a worthy option for budget-conscious travelers.

For those who enjoy walking, the hotel’s location allows easy access to explore Rome on foot with most key sites and dining spots within a short commute. Despite some concerns about the surrounding neighborhood, the hotel offers excellent connectivity and a central position, making it a practical choice for those looking to experience Rome without being right in the heart of tourist areas.

Breakfast
Hotel Center 2 receives mixed feedback regarding its breakfast offerings. Numerous guests found the breakfast to be good value for money, especially since it can be added for just five euros. The selection generally includes options such as toast, cheese, ham, croissants, cereal, coffee and juice. Some visitors appreciated the freshly baked pastries and good coffee, noting that these items made the breakfast experience quite enjoyable. Others complimented the breakfast as being adequate, satisfying and even generous for the price.

However, the breakfast also garners criticism due to its limited variety and lack of certain items like fresh fruits, vegetables and eggs. The emphasis on carbohydrates and sweet pastries, along with the same selection served daily, were common points of contention. Several guests described the breakfast as basic, simple or even poor with some mentioning canned fruits and less-than-fresh croissants. Issues with breakfast staff and the cleanliness of the breakfast area were also highlighted as concerns.

Overall, while the breakfast at Hotel Center 2 might meet the needs of some travelers with its decent and affordable offerings, others might find it lacking in variety and quality.

Dinner
Hotel Center 2 offers a mixed dining experience with several guests opting out of hotel dinners in favor of nearby eateries. For half board, the restaurant choices provided aren't part of the hotel but were praised for their quality, particularly Da Luigi's trattoria and La Pecora Pazza. Although the hotel does provide meals, some guests found the quality lacking, citing issues like reheated food and limited options, including tap water only being served with the first dish. Despite this, when the hotel ordered meals based on guests' tastes, the experience was positively received. It's worth noting that on Sundays and some other occasions, no in-hotel meals are available. For a wider variety of dining experiences, guests recommended exploring nearby local restaurants.

Rooms
Hotel Center 2 offers a mixed bag of experiences when it comes to its rooms. On the positive side, rooms are often described as spacious, comfortable and cozy with many guests appreciating the simple yet practical setup. Some find the rooms clean and functional, equipped with essentials like a fridge, TV and air conditioning, making them suitable for short stays. The closeness to public transportation and landmarks like the Colosseum also adds to the convenience factor.

However, the rooms show significant wear and tear and are in dire need of renovation. Many guests have noted issues such as stained and dirty linens, outdated furniture and moldy walls. Problems with amenities like non-functioning air conditioners, broken bathroom fixtures and poor soundproofing are frequently mentioned, contributing to less-than-ideal stays. Additionally, some rooms have suffered from dampness, musty smells and incomplete cleaning services.

Despite these drawbacks, some guests acknowledge the value for money, especially if one can adapt to basic and older accommodations. However, maintenance and cleanliness issues, along with noise disturbances from hallways and adjacent dining areas, are recurrent concerns that detract from the overall experience.

Beds
Travelers visiting HOTEL CENTER 2 have expressed mixed feelings about the bed comfort. While many guests found the beds to be comfortable, providing a restful experience after long walks, there were also frequent mentions of discomfort. A significant number of visitors highlighted that some beds were old with thin or springy mattresses causing morning aches and discomfort. There were repeated instances where double beds appeared as two single beds pushed together, leading to alignment issues and further dissatisfaction.

On a positive note, the rooms were equipped with clean and pleasant-smelling bed linens and towels, contributing to an overall sense of hygiene. Some guests appreciated the regular replacement of bedding and towels, which added to the comfort during their stay. Despite a consensus on room comfort and fair quality for the price, caution is advised as the experience with bed comfort at HOTEL CENTER 2 can vary widely among visitors.

Cleanliness

Clean linens, towels and bathrooms are frequently mentioned, creating a sense of comfort for many visitors. Guests have reported clean and cozy rooms with bathrooms specifically highlighted for their cleanliness. Overall, there are positive remarks about the clean environment and the hotel's aesthetic appeal, despite its dated appearance.

However, there are several complaints that reflect inconsistencies in the hotel's cleanliness. Some guests describe their rooms as dirty upon arrival with specific issues such as mold in the bathrooms, dusty floors, stained sheets and uncleaned showers. Instances of poor maintenance, like torn curtains and malfunctioning air conditioners, are noted. The phrase cleanliness leaves much to be desired appears more than once, pointing to dissatisfaction among some guests. Additional concerns include the presence of ants, cold rooms and a lack of toiletries and essentials like sanitary soap.

Overall, while many guests have a satisfactory experience with the cleanliness at HOTEL CENTER 2, there are enough complaints to indicate that it may vary significantly from room to room. The hotel seems to offer a basic, clean stay for many, but prospective guests might want to manage their expectations or inquire specifically about the current state of their assigned room.

Staff
The staff at HOTEL CENTER 2 receive mixed reviews from guests with a noticeable trend towards positive experiences. Many guests praised the staff for being friendly, courteous and helpful. Specific staff members such as Daniella, Angelo and Igor were highlighted for their professionalism and caring attitude. The courteous treatment extended to various departments, including housekeeping and breakfast services. Several reviews mention the availability and efficiency of the staff, highlighting their ability to communicate in multiple languages and provide valuable information.

However, some guests noted negative experiences, describing certain staff members as rude, unhelpful or indifferent. Incidents of unpleasant interaction, particularly with some receptionists and kitchen staff, were mentioned. Despite these occasional lapses, the overall sentiment leans towards a welcoming and attentive service with numerous accounts of the staff going out of their way to assist guests and ensure a pleasant stay.

In summary, while HOTEL CENTER 2’s staff generally provide a positive and friendly environment, there are areas that could benefit from improved consistency in service quality.

Wi-Fi
Guests at HOTEL CENTER 2 have expressed considerable frustration with the hotel's Wi-Fi services. The majority of reviews indicate that Wi-Fi is unavailable in the rooms with connectivity often limited to the lobby area. Many guests reported that the Wi-Fi signal was poor or non-functional with some noting that it failed to work altogether or required the use of a Vodafone router-extender to access. Despite some claims that Wi-Fi worked well in certain public areas, overall feedback suggests that internet service is unreliable and inconsistent throughout much of the hotel premises. This has left many guests dissatisfied, as reliable internet access is often critical for both leisure and business travelers.

Spa
The spa at Hotel Center 2 emerges as a notable feature with various aspects highlighted by guests. Though some pointed out that the wellness services come at an extra cost with prices reaching up to 90 euros per person, many found the experience worth the expense. Guests particularly praised the quality of the spa, suggesting that it is a must-try for visitors. Additionally, the hotel offers discounts at a nearby spa, adding value for those on a budget.

However, potential visitors should be aware that the spa and pool are not included in the room price and require prior booking, which may be an inconvenience for some. The lack of upfront information about additional spa fees during the booking process could also lead to unexpected costs. Despite these minor setbacks, guests who utilized the spa facilities were generally pleased, describing the amenities as great, albeit located in another building. While concerns about hygiene were mentioned, specific details were not provided, indicating these might not be widespread issues. Overall, the spa at Hotel Center 2 is highly recommended for those willing to pay the extra fee for a quality wellness experience.

3 Star
HOTEL CENTER 2 is rated as a three-star hotel, though many guests feel this classification is exaggerated. Despite the rating discrepancies, there are some redeeming qualities mentioned in reviews. The value for money is appreciated by several guests with some stating that the comfort level of the rooms justifies the cost. It is seen as a good option for those looking for a budget-friendly stay.

However, the overall sentiment is that the hotel falls short of the three-star standard. Concerns include the darkness of the hotel at times and service standards that some consider poor. In essence, while it offers decent value for the price, the facilities and services might not live up to the expectations set by its three-star rating.

Business
Hotel Center 2 provides a notable cost-benefit for budget-conscious business travelers. The check-in process is quick, facilitating a smooth arrival experience, an important factor for those on tight schedules. Their spa offers a pleasant respite after a busy day.

However, there are areas that could improve the overall experience for business guests. The staff, while polite, have been noted to sometimes come off as rude. The bathrooms are quite small and missing a bidet, which may impact comfort. The lack of basic toiletries with only gel available in a fixed container, can be inconvenient for those used to a more comprehensive amenity setup.

For travelers needing reliable working facilities, Hotel Center 2 may fall short, as the business amenities are reportedly subpar and problems are not always promptly addressed. Hence, while it holds an appealing economic advantage, it might be worth considering other options if certain service standards are critical for one’s stay.
