About

Friendship Place

Friendship Place is an adults-only, no-pets property in Rome's Termini neighbourhood, occupying flat 18 on Via Dei Mille in an older building with a lift. It is a functional, no-frills hotel: rooms are key-access, there's a 24-hour reception, and the hotel provides luggage storage, a safe deposit box, and laundry services. Reviewers describe a friendly, traditional place where the staff make a strong impression.

Rooms have been recently renovated, and reviewers regularly mention clean, spacious interiors, working air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and reliable free Wi-Fi. Breakfast is not served in a dining room; instead, it is offered at a nearby restaurant, with some guests describing a simple croissant-and-drink affair and others praising the spread. The property does not list on-site parking, and given the proximity to Termini, many guests arrive by train.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Welcoming, attentive staff — Reviewers consistently describe the team as friendly, kind, and helpful, with one guest noting they stayed late for an arrival after 10pm.
  • Excellent base near Roma Termini — The hotel is a short walk from Rome's main station, putting trains, buses, and airport shuttles within easy reach.
  • Clean, recently renovated rooms — Guests mention newly decorated interiors, large rooms, comfortable beds, effective air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi.
  • Fair prices for central Rome — With rates from £52 per night, it is an affordable option, and most guests felt the price was right for what was offered.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rooms are basic and show some wear — Several guests describe spartan furnishings and minor maintenance issues, such as a broken shower door, a loose toilet seat, and an aging elevator. The building itself is old, though some found that part of its charm.
  • Breakfast is minimal — The included breakfast takes place at a nearby café; some guests found it little more than a croissant, juice, and tea or coffee, and thought pickier eaters might want alternatives.
  • Not suitable for families or pet owners — The hotel has an adults-only policy and does not allow pets, so it's best for solo travellers, couples, and groups of friends.

“The room was large, freshly decorated, and spotless, the bed comfortable, and the free Wi-Fi a real plus. We also enjoyed great food and lovely views.”

7.4Verified guest

“The hosts were wonderfully kind. The room is basic for the price, with some signs of wear like a slightly broken shower door and toilet seat. What made it for me was the effective air conditioning and fast, reliable Wi-Fi. The old-fashioned lift was charming, and I was glad not to take the stairs. The room was surprisingly big though sparsely furnished, and the bed was neither great nor terrible. Being close to the station was handy, and breakfast at a nearby café was simple, just a croissant, orange juice, and tea or coffee. At this rate, I was happy with the value. Key access meant getting in at any hour was easy.”

7.4Verified guest

“The staff were very friendly and waited past 10pm for our late arrival. The location is good, just up the street from the airport shuttle drop-off zone, and the bus station was a short walk away; getting around was easy. Having a private shower and bathroom in the room was a plus. I'd recommend it.”
