The place and the location are great for a quick weekend getaway, but it was Karen (who works at Merulana) that made our stay. Super attentive and kind, and really made us feel at home. Would recommend Merulana to anyone.

Rooms are very clean, staff is super helpful and very sweet! They even gave us some tips on where to eat and what to see. To me the most important thing is the cleanliness of the facility and the rooms and thats why I gave 5 stars. Location is convenient as well! One thing to improve would be to replace the shower curtains more frequently, everything else was perfetto!

Great location for easy walking to shops and food, not too far from train station if you need to wheel your luggage like we did.
The hotel is entirely on one floor and you take a cute little 2 person elevator to get there.
The staff communicates well via WhatsApp and the are very kind.

Great location!
Walking distance to pretty much everything. (5-40 minutes of walk max to any major sighting, but it's worth it. You should be walking the streets of Rome anyway.)
The train station is about 8-10 minute walk to here. You do not need a taxi, and it's perfectly safe to walk with your luggage in that area.
The staff is extremely sweet too. They will let you store the luggage if you get there before your check in time, but do ask them first.
Thanks!

The location is good because it’s very close to the train station. The room was basic but cleaned. On the first night, I noticed that the shower curtain at the bottom had mold on it, and I was going to complain. But when I came back from Exploring the next day, I noticed that the shower curtain had been replaced. So the cleaning people saw it on the second day and replaced it, which was good. The breakfast is very good. And the staff is friendly and helpful.
