I was looking for a clean and safe budget hotel, and Hotel Gea Di Vulcano exceeded my expectations. It's situated in an old apartment building near Termini station. Given the persistent heat in Rome during my visit, proximity to Termini was crucial as I traveled by train and preferred not to haul my luggage over long distances. Despite being a 5-10 minute walk from Termini, the area felt safe, even when returning alone late at night. I intentionally chose this location for its convenience, although it's worth noting that major tourist attractions are a 20-25 minute walk away. The room itself was simple yet impeccably clean. The Wi-Fi worked sufficiently, and while the breakfast offered a limited variety, the quality of the food provided was satisfactory. One thing to note is the early check-out time of 10:00 AM, which was earlier than the usual 12:00 PM. This meant a bit of a rush for me to pack up, but the staff kindly allowed me to use the room until 11:00 AM. I recommend this hotel to other visitors.

The bar across the street hosts live music performances on some nights, which can be quite loud. The hotel provides earplugs as a solution, but I personally found them uncomfortable to wear. If you are sensitive to noise, it's worth considering this aspect.

Staff went above and beyond with our kids and advice on sites and restaurants. Breakfast was brilliant! Location couldn’t have been better, fantastic value for money!

Location is excellent as it is 220m to Republica and 900m to Roma Termini. Front desk lady staff is extremely helpful. Breakfast is simple and satisfying. The room is on the second floor and it is not noisy as it is facing a small road. The 2 rooms size are adequate and there is also a family room. The toilet is spacious. The aircon heater works well in December winter. Beds are semi-hard and comfortable. We had good night's rest.

Drinking water was not replaced daily and our family of 4 only had 3 bottles. Floor is dirty and slippers were not provided. We had to climb the staircase as it is more convenient than taking the light.

a diamond in termini, it was ideal for the station and not at all seedy or unsafe. looks like pictures and is actually well located for many sights. friendly staff, who went extra mile to accommodate guests. Breakfast was great, varied with hot paninis made to order!! I would definitely go there again.

Nothing

Lovely little family owned hotel in a condomium building with a few more of the same type beside it. I love these kinds of places – if you are looking for a boring luxury chain you won't, but if you want a locally owned, quirky, and lovingly cleaned place with homemade croissants in the morning and nice people, close to everything famous in Rome, this is your spot!

More plain (unsweetened) yoghurt for those of us from countries that don't have "dolce" breakfast? But really, when in Rome ... I've nothing bad to say about this place.

Close to Termini Station but not too close (sketchy area just to the west of the station) This hotel is beyond that. Beautiful late 1800s classic building with several other hotels inside. The stateliness of the building is tremendous. Cage elevator, Super friendly staff and owners. Room spacious. The hotel occupies part of the first floor (2nd fl for north americans) and is safe and gorgeous. No part of the hotel is in the front half of the building facing busy Via Nazionale. My room was pretty quiet and I slept with the window open. Small refrigerator.

I suppose you could say that the decor is from the 90s but this is why the hotel is such a great value! Other than a weird "natural" soap that didn't lather, I would say this place was tops!

The location was excellent, so close to everything, therfore walking distance to most city sites and highlights. The staff were very nice, friendly and helpful whenever I had any queries. When there were issues with the wifi, they promptly offered me another room that had wifi access. The hotel room I booked was located toward the back of the building, so it was a little quieter than the main street- facing rooms. It was spacious and comfortable. It was very clean and well maintained. I liked the very firm bed, but the pillows were uncomfortable. Contintal breakfast was nice, which included cheese, cold meats and veges, pastries, and sweets. I didn't mind that the hotel was within an apartment building it just added to the quirkiness of being different from what I'm used to. Overall I had a lovely stay and I would stay again.

Not that they were major issues but will mention. I didn't like the pillows, they were flat and hard and gave me a sore neck, also whenever the air con was on, literally sounded like water running through pipes, it become annoying so I tried to avoid using it especially at night.

Cosy little hotel in a great location. Lot of the main sights are short walk away. Good breakfast, considering the size of the hotel (appox 15 rooms).

Not the hotel's fault, but there is an Irish pub nearby which has live music on the evenings that can be heard in rooms (it ends around 11pm). If you want peace and quiet before that then the hotel offers complimentary earplugs. Note that the Rome city tax is not included in the price you pay here, this needs to paid extra when checking out (6 eur per person per night). Paid by either card or cash.

Great location. Very helpful staff with good English. So nice clean accommodation in the direct city center. Continental very much plus breakfast - really well organized. I definitely may recommend and in case return to Rome would stay again.

I know that the country yard is shared across premises and small hotels there. Although it would be nice to recommend the ashtray there. As it is so clean that you have problem what to do with leftover ;)

The staff was so friendly and went above and beyond! we were spoiled by chef for breakfast, awesome location and very clean

my only complaint was beds were very very hard compared to what I like! but clean and made up everyday
