We (4 travellers) booked Hotel Magic because we checked its website and it looks so beautiful. It is totally misleading. We got there, and yes it is around the Termini station. Very little did we know that the area near station is not very safe. According to some local shop owners, any areas in Rome is pretty safe from any... More

Attracted by the ad on the web and mainly by good location. This is actually NOT a hotel by all means. It is just part of the last floor of an old building, run by a family which is obviously not professional.

The "Hotel" is more like a old... More

We chose Hotel Magic as our Rome hotel based on a recommendation from Rick Steve's Italy Travel Guide. We found the accomendations very shabby as... More
