Overall, the position is great and you will find everything you need for a short visit.
However, the state of the rooms ( at least in my case) is very basic and very run down ( marks on the walls, damage to the bed frame, mould in the bathroom.. ) which doesn't entirely justice the price in my opinion.

The internet is pretty much non existent which is a key point for tourists, it was very annoying not having a wifi, the breakfast is also not really a breakfast but a few packaged biscuits that were tasteless , so they shouldnt advertise breakfast.
The area is very good and close to train station which was pleasant, rooms very clean however the furnitures were old and stained.
The hotel has a great location! Close to a train station and you’ll be in the coliseum in just 10 minutes by subway!
It wasn’t super clean.
Breakfast is super basic
Everything excellent, except the WiFi, does not work, they have a domestic reapeter, should change it for, at least, one Mesh repeater. Thank you.

Comfortable room
Very good location. Comfortable and clean room with a good sized on suite bathroom. The place is modern but showing signs of use. For example, broken toilet seat and shower head, the hairdryer wires were exposed and the kettle in the common area not working. The breakfast is very basic - just some prepackaged cakes and toast - and the coffee was awful. Could also do with more than 3 hangers in a double room.

I recently stayed at Sensation House during my visit to Rome, and while the place had its merits, there were a few significant drawbacks that left me disappointed. I believe it is essential to share my experience to help future travelers make informed decisions. Firstly, let's start with the positives. Sensation House boasts a decent location, which allowed for convenient access to popular attractions and public transportation. The overall ambiance of the place was pleasant, and the cleanliness standards were satisfactory. However, there were two significant issues that overshadowed these positive aspects. The first concern was the ineffective air conditioning system, which proved to be a major letdown considering the scorching heat in Rome during my stay. The A/C unit struggled to cool the room adequately, making it uncomfortable and difficult to relax or get a good night's sleep. This issue significantly impacted the overall experience and left me feeling dissatisfied. Another disappointment came in the form of the extra bed provided for my son. The bed was unbelievably small and the mattress, remarkably thin. It was far from comfortable, and my son had trouble sleeping on it. Given the price I paid for the room, I expected better quality and comfort for the additional bed. This aspect left a lasting negative impression on our stay. Moreover, considering the aforementioned issues, the price of the accommodation felt unjustifiably high.

Enttäuschung
Es war insgesamt eine Enttäuschung. Das Zimmer war nicht nur für die Eincheckzeit nicht fertig, sondern erst dann angefangen, als wir angekommen sind (15:30). Handtücher nicht ganz sauber, kein warmes Wasser und kein Wasserdruck.
Der einzige positive Punkt war die Location: mit U-Bahn sehr gut angebunden, Bars, Restaurants (dadurch natürlich auch sehr lange laur).
Locale molto spazioso, situato a 2 passi dalla stazione metropolitana Bologna. Zona ricca di locali, ambiente molto giovane. Pulizie ok, colazione migliorabile.
Personale attento e disponibile.
Giudizio nel complesso buono.
Grazie
Incrível, lugar encantador, tudo limpinho, com café da manhã...amei e recomendo a todos...ótima localização perto de tudo: metro, onibus, cafeterias e supermercados.
Ubicación perfecta, el metro B a solo a pocos pasos de distancia y conecta con el centro historico de roma. La habitacion muy linda, espaciosa y comoda.
La cama deliciosa y grande.
El WiFi un poco lento.
Lugares para comer cerca y bien de precio.
Excelente comunicación con la estancia.
Muy felices.

El desayuno es algo muy básico. No dejaron shampoo ni nada para bañarse. El colchon hundido de un lado. No tiene neverita o algo para conservar en fresco. Es un albergue basico para pasar una noche máximo.

Increible. Cumplirron con lo ofrecido. Limpieza. Organizacion. Privacidad. Excelente.
Pulizia e accoglienza top. Ho viaggiato da sola e mi sono sentita come a casa. Metropolitana a 2 minuti, quartiere tranquillo ci sono molti ristoranti sotto casa d
Chambres très propres, une cuisine équipée et un espace commun bien entretenu, ainsi que des options de boissons et de biscuits disponibles 24/24 est vraiment pratique. Et la proximité des transports en commun et des restaurants ajoute certainement à la commodité. À peine à 10 minutes de la gare Rome Termini.
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour.
