The only good thing about this hotel is location to central station and walking distance to attractions. Facilities are poor, moldy smells, don’t bother breakfast. Water pressure was extremely low to have showers - water pump had problems. I would not recommend this hotel unfortunately.

We were very happy overall with our stay. Our room was much more spacious than I expected, and it was newly renovated. We had 4 adults. Breakfast was included which was a pleasant surprise. The location was perfect. Close to Termini and most attractions were within a 15-20 minute walk. Grateful for the elevator! The only minor annoyance was that the sink in the bathroom had no basically no counter space. The staff could have been a bit friendlier, in my opinion. Overall, I would recommend Hotel California.

Everything was absolutely perfect, there was only one thing that was wrong, not sure if this was an Expedia or hotel issue but we did not get the same room we paid extra for… we paid extra for the suite room that has a jetted tub but we did not receive said room.. other than that though, it was amazing and all staff was very friendly!!! The housekeepers were on it and made our room perfect everytime we left, they put extra time into details such as cleaning the mirrors and shower everyday!!!
