Hotel Giamaica for Girls & Ladies Only

The staff at the reception and others were very friendly and helping. Very good location near Termini. Had a good stay with my wife!

Enjoyed the location. Close to transport and major sites. Very clean rooms and facilities. Good price.

Hotel Giamaica is a small and quaint hotel nestled two streets behind the main train station in Rome.In my opinion it is centrally located,and a walking distance to the local cafés,parks and to the colosseum,so transportation by walking and/or the train is advised. Unless you don't like walking...then taxis are readily available,buses as well,and a missed opportunity to really see the beauty of Rome.Arriving around the vicinity of the hotel at 1am by taxi(who drive very aggressive,but safe,surprisingly),I was greeted by a few homeless individuals sleeping around the corner of the hotel.At first I thought this was a red flag for my safety and a concern for the sanitation around the area;however my worries quickly subsided as I entered the building.Situatied next to other small hotels lining the street,the entrance of the building was clean,welcoming,and quiet. In order for us to get to the actual hotel,one had to take an old fashioned(but safe) elevator to the hotel lobby where we were greeted by the owner/consierge Antonio.He showed us to our room which was very cute and spacious for an afforadable Italian hotel.The beds were small but comfortable and the room were clean,so you couldn't ask for more .The bathrooms were also clean.My loved one and I spent the next two days sleeping, eating, walking in and out of the hotel without any disturbance from the other guest and/or from Antonio,who was regularly there to greet us in the morning,wish us well on our travels,and say goodnight when we walked In late.I didn't worry about my safety while I was inside the hotel,due to the fact that we had a personal key to the front entrance door and to our room(obviously).Tip:Make sure you pack clothes that don't need to be ironed as much,because if you do.. there isn't one readily available within the hotel.You have to ask Antonio,who then has to call a member of the cleaning staff to bring one in either that evening or the following day(I thought this was quirky,but it was a first so I went with the flow).The only interesting thing I could say about our stay was the fact that we paid the day before our check out date and not the day of check-in(again this was my first time in Italy,I'm sure this is common).We were also required to pay a tourist fee by the government that had to be given in cash only.Thus,make sure that you have this amount set aside first before you begin on your adventures into Rome,because that snuck up on us, and kind of played around with our budget.We left the next day without a hassle and a sweet goodbye from the main cleaning lady(who I must say is beyond beautiful with her short hair,and beyond awesome).I can confidently say that If I decide to return back to Italy and back to Rome,Hotel Giamaica will be where I reside for my stay.
