Aphrodite

A decent enough hotel but I do find it very hard to believe it is worthy of 4 stars. The rooms were rather compact and small, making manouvering around with two people rather awkward. There were limited facilities — a terrible hairdryer *tut* no kettle or tea *gasp*, and no hair conditioner *the horror, the humanity*. But at least we had free wifi *yayness*. Based near Termini station, it isn’t the nicest of locations but it is incredibly easy to get to and from both airports. Also it is a bit of a walk from some of the main Rome attractions but we enjoyed getting to know the city by foot. The staff were competent although not particularly friendly. I wasn’t crazy on the breakfasts — the offerings weren’t great and a bit poorly stocked. The rooms also became rather hot and stuffy to bear, and unfortunately the air conditioning was ineffectual. As our room faced out on to the main road having the window open all night was rather loud and noisy to sleep through. Good price, and convenient location for a short trip but more of a 3 star kind of deal.

I stayed here for 5 nights with my wife while we were honeymooning in Rome. Hotel Aphrodite is conveniently located near the Termini and was extremely easy to find. The staff here was cordial and competent as check in was a breeze and we never had any issues. Our room like most European hotel rooms from an American perspective was quite small, but that’s what we were expecting. It actually did have quite a nice and large bathroom which made the ridiculously tiny shower in it even more perplexing as they clearly had the room to put in something bigger in. You couldn’t bend down in the shower (there was nowhere to put the shampoo but the floor) without hitting both sides of it and that is coming from a fit 6’3 185 lb person. If I were obese, there is no way I would have even have been able to make it inside the shower. Besides that, the bed was a bit hard for my liking and since we were at the far side of the hotel it often took awhile to connect to the internet (52 attempts I counted the one time) and the internet was slow. However it was still a decent hotel and I really enjoyed the breakfast every morning. My wife and I also both enjoyed the nice rooftop area that they had set up.
The bottom line for me is that I might stay here again in the future. The price and location of Hotel Aphrodite were perfect for us and we loved the breakfast every morning. With only a few simple changes I could have really loved this place.

Die Lage ist einerseits gut, da zentral, andererseits weiß jeder wie eine Bahnhofsgegend abends aussieht und das vor allem in Rom
Service war nicht wirklich zuvorkommend oder freundlich aber das ist in Rom wohl generell schwer zu finden.
Sauberkeit war gut. Wir hatten ein Zimmer nach hinten raus und somit Ruhe.
Das Frühstück kann man allerdings nach 2 Tagen nicht mehr sehen und daher empfiehlt sich, außerhalb das italienische Flair in einer Bar zu genießen.

Das Hotel ist eigentlich nichts, was besonders hervorstechen würde, der Vorteil den es hat ist nur die Lage am Termini.
Man kommt am Flughafen an, steigt nicht in ein teures Taxi, sondern nimmt den Leonardo Express zum Termini, steigt aus, lässt die Taxifahrer wieder links liegen und checkt ins Hotel ein. Die Zimmer waren klein aber sauber, das Frühstück in der Preis-​/​Leistungsrelation in Ordnung.
Weiterer Vorteil der Lage in der Nähe von TErmini: Beide UBahn Linien halten hier natürlich sowie fast jeder Bus und es ist der Startpunkt vieler Sightseeing Busse. Man ist abends schnell zu hause und morgens schnell bei den Sehenswürdigkeiten. Zudem sind dort viele kleine Pizzerien, die preistechnisch auf niedrigem, pizzatechnisch aber auf hohem Niveau liegen.
