    I asked for olives with my evening appetitive and while I got them on the first night I was told on the next two nights “there are no olives”. I also would have preferred china cups and proper teaspoons in the room rather than disposable cups. I did not think this was very environmentally friendly. I also had to ask every day for more milk as only two teeny caps of milk were in the room - not enough for even one cup of tea or coffee. Having said that, most of the staff was fabulous and attentive.

    The room was really spacious and the bed very comfortable. Best shower in five weeks of travelling! The breakfast was really good with plenty of options - from fresh to cooked, savoury and sweet and very good coffee made to order. This was served on the rooftop which was where beautiful sunsets could be seen in the evenings.

    Location was excellent in one sense as it was very close to Roma Termini Central Rail station. Unfortunately, there is a lot of building work being undertaken which temporarily impacts the beauty of the location

    Hotel was very clean and really well managed by friendly staff. Rooftop breakfast area / bar was a beautiful spot to hang out. Breakfast buffet was extensive and of high quality.

    This is a gem of a hotel, an oasis that's a close walk to the train station. Large room, well laid out bathroom with exceptional shower. Gorgeous view from the roof and great to start and end the day there with breakfast and sunset. Excellent meals at Diana's Place restaurant next door in a lovely setting with great service.

    Nothing to dislike, all as described on website.

    Very clean with very comfortable facilities and excellent staff. A lovely roof top bar and dinning area, excellent breakfast included and the breakfast staff were fantastic. We were also given upgraded rooms when we arrived. An excellent location for visiting the centre of Rome.

    Nothing.

    The staff at the hotel was specially nice and friendly. The breakfast was good and we also had dinner and it was very good. Especially the "pinsa". The hotel is in a short walking distance from Termini station for the Train and Metro. There is a direct train from the FCO airport to Termini station and it takes only 32 min. Easy to use the Metro and also possible to walk to the Colosseo and Spanish steps and Fontana Trevi. You can take the Metro to visit the Vatican City.

    This was our second time staying with you. We were surprised this time we weren’t able to sit outside at the rooftop bar and have a drink as everything was reserved. We did not have that issue last time. Also the air conditioning was awful. Very warm for sleeping which we didn’t have that issue last time either

    We love the location and staff

    The breakfast selection was very basic, couldn't order and items had to go with what was available and very small selection!

    Great location, walking distance to Colosseum, Train & Bus station. Roof top bar is brilliant with great view...The only negative was the Breakfast selection was very basic. This was our 3rd stay at Independent, Loved it.

    The staff at the reception was rude. The small elevator was always full and had to wait long to use it.

    The location was great, close to the train station, lots of restaurants, shops around. The breakfast was good with lots of gluten-free options.

    Little far from the main attractions and the proximity to a train station is not a good landscape to see.

    The hotel is very well located just some meters from the train station. The view of the bar / restaurant was very nice and good relation to a near restaurant.

    Double bed was two singles put together and both me and my partner returned from the trip with really sore necks/ backs. Rooms were soundproofed from the street, however the noise in the hallways meant that you couldn’t have a lie in, in the mornings

    Rooftop terrace was great and we had our own private balcony with city views which was excellent, couldn’t fault the location. Nespresso Coffee in room was lovely as was the free minibar which we didn’t realise was complimentary as we were told only the water was free.
