Guest Reviews
Location
Breakfast
However, several guests noted that the breakfast could use more variety, often describing it as repetitive or monotonous with the same few options served daily. Some specifically missed a broader selection of fruits, vegetables and protein. The lack of hot food options like scrambled eggs was a common point of critique and others mentioned the absence of items like coarse bread or toasters.
While some found the traditional Italian breakfast with its emphasis on sweet pastries to be sufficient and even rich, others felt it was too basic and limited. The quality-price ratio of the breakfast generally received positive remarks, but a few guests were disappointed, finding the offerings to be below standard and lacking in diversity.
The breakfast area itself was described as small and occasionally crowded, leading to long waiting lines at times. The option of having breakfast served in the room due to COVID-19 protocols was convenient for some guests, yet others found it limited and not as enjoyable as a buffet setup.
Overall, while the breakfast at Hotel Serena srl meets the basic expectations of a 3-star hotel and includes pleasant aspects like barista-made coffee, there is room for improvement in variety and consistency to make it a more satisfying start to the day for all guests.
Dinner

The dining experience at the hotel itself is commendable. A dinner organized by the hotel received positive feedback, allowing guests to choose from a set menu, ensuring a satisfying and hassle-free dining experience without the need for advance reservations.
Overall, the combination of a prime location, excellent staff and countless nearby dining options makes Hotel Serena srl an ideal choice for those looking to enjoy the best of Rome's food scene.
Rooms
However, the predominant critique is the small size of the rooms, often described as cramped or tiny with little space to move around. Some guests also note that the furniture is outdated and the rooms need modernization. Issues like broken wallpapers, worn-out furniture and musty smells are occasionally reported. Soundproofing is another concern raised by several guests with noise from neighboring rooms or streets being a common disturbance.
Despite these limitations, some guests find the rooms adequate for short stays and value for money, especially considering the central location of the hotel, which is close to public transportation and local attractions. The hotel provides basic but clean accommodations that are suitable for travelers who prioritize location and cleanliness over luxury.
Beds
Cleanliness and maintenance of the bedding were frequently mentioned with some guests suggesting that the linen and mattresses needed replacement. While a few guests found the bedding adequate, the majority highlighted its age and lack of comfort, recommending an update to enhance sleep quality.
Overall, while some found a degree of comfort in their accommodations, many reviews point towards a need for significant improvements in both mattress quality and the overall bedding experience to ensure a restful stay.
Cleanliness
However, a few minor issues were occasionally mentioned, such as dusty floors or common areas, as well as instances of small defects like a damaged toilet seat or unclean bed sheets. Despite these occasional lapses, the hotel's housekeeping performance is generally praised for maintaining a high standard and the staff's diligence in cleanliness and friendliness further enhances the overall experience.
In conclusion, Hotel Serena srl appears to consistently deliver on cleanliness, ensuring a comfortable stay for its guests, making it a reliable choice for those prioritizing hygiene during their travels.

This level of care leaves a lasting impression of warmth and positivity. Many reviews commend the staff for being consistently polite and courteous, always ready to assist with a smile. Both the cleaning and breakfast staff receive high marks for their friendly and supportive demeanor.
Although a few isolated reviews mention less favorable encounters with specific staff members, these are outliers compared to the overwhelmingly positive experiences reported by most guests. The staff's efforts, ranging from the reception to housekeeping, significantly contribute to the hotel's welcoming and comfortable ambiance. Overall, Hotel Serena srl’s staff is celebrated for their exceptional service, making guests feel valued and well-cared for throughout their stay.
Wi-Fi
However, many reviews highlight issues with WiFi connectivity within the hotel rooms, particularly on higher floors such as the fifth. Common feedback includes slow speeds, instability and frequent disconnections. There are mentions of the WiFi signal being weak or entirely non-existent in some rooms, which can affect the overall guest experience.
While the hotel does provide WiFi free of charge, it seems that the service could benefit from improvements in both coverage and reliability, especially for guests who need a consistent internet connection during their stay.
Nightlife
While the area is bustling with activity and rich in amenities, it does come with its drawbacks, particularly the noise levels at night. Some guests reported disturbances from outside noise, including sounds from the street and the nearby train station. Additionally, a few have noted the presence of strange people in the area after dark, although these encounters were generally not problematic. For light sleepers, these factors might impact the restful quality of their stay.
Despite the occasional noise and the eclectic nature of the neighborhood—which includes shops catering to adult entertainment—the area is generally perceived as safe and imbued with local character. For travelers seeking an energetic and convenient location with plenty of dining options, Hotel Serena srl and its surrounding area provide a dynamic backdrop to their stay.
3 Star
The location near Termini train station is frequently mentioned as a significant advantage, providing convenience for city trips. Additionally, the hotel is noted for being relatively cheap with good value for money with a few reviewers describing it as excellent in this regard. Cleanliness is another positive aspect with rooms deemed small but clean and the hotel in general being viewed as a decent option for tourists.
However, concerns about the hotel's rating are prevalent. Several guests point out that the facilities and services do not meet their expectations of a three-star hotel with some expressing disappointment over the small room sizes, outdated overall structure and the need for renovation. There are remarks about the property resembling a B&B rather than a full-fledged hotel with issues of noise and cleanliness on certain floors, which detract from the overall experience.
Despite a few reviewers finding the hotel discreet and in line with Italian three-star standards, others feel it falls short, even likened to a poor hostel by some. The price is sometimes considered excessive given the standard of amenities and facilities offered. Overall, while some guests find Hotel Serena srl adequate for a budget-conscious stay, others believe it does not live up to its three-star classification.
