About
Hotel Mari 1 - Rome
Hotel Mari 1 - Rome is a small 2-star property on Via Palestro, a short walk from Termini Station. With just eight rooms, it offers a straightforward, personal stay in a classic Roman building. The hotel provides free Wi-Fi in every room, flat-screen TVs, and an AM/FM alarm clock for a practical, uncluttered experience. Guests can book private parking nearby for €25 per day, and the central location puts the Trevi Fountain about a 25-minute stroll away.
The property keeps things simple: rooms come with heating, some with showers, and range from private doubles to dormitory-style singles with shared or private bathrooms. The staff frequently earn praise for their helpfulness, and the modest scale means service can feel personal. For travellers prioritising location and value over amenities, this is a functional choice in a busy neighbourhood.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Genuinely helpful staff — Multiple guests mention staff going above and beyond—carrying luggage, managing late check-ins, and even handling lost luggage with empathy.
- Unbeatable location near Termini — A short walk from the main train station and metro, making it easy to explore Rome or catch a direct train to Fiumicino airport.
- Free Wi-Fi that actually works — The internet speed impressed more than one guest, even supporting streaming on the flat-screen TV.
- Clean, well-kept rooms — Guests consistently note fresh towels, clean sheets, and tidy rooms—a solid base for a 2-star stay.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No lift—expect stairs — The hotel is on the fourth floor with no elevator. One guest joked about 'the joy of climbing four flights of stairs', and another mentioned a staff member carrying luggage up.
- Street noise can be an issue — A nearby bar generates noise, though windows do block most of it if they're closed.
- Occasional maintenance hiccups — One guest faced Wi-Fi problems (fixed the same day) and a brief water outage that required relocating to Hotel Mari 2.
- Low overall rating compared to area average — The property scores 6.7/10 on aggregators, below the area's average of 8.7. The location and staff shine, but the basic amenities and stairs bring the score down.

6.7Verified guest“The staff went out of their way to carry my two heavy suitcases up to the fourth-floor room. Even with some language barriers, they made check-in smooth. The room was spacious with an old-fashioned charm. Wi-Fi had a few glitches, but it was fixed by evening. When the water briefly cut out, they moved me to Hotel Mari 2, which was even better.”
6.7Verified guest“Great location, just a short walk from the train station with pizza, gelato and restaurants nearby. The staff were kind and helpful, especially with late check-in and helping me recover lost luggage. They even gave me free Wi-Fi at Hotel Mari 2 after I was moved. The room was clean with fresh towels and sheets, and they had an electric fan ready without asking.”
6.7Verified guest“Great location, helpful staff, and the room was better than expected—it exceeded my previous stay in Rome.”
6.7Verified guest“Excellent location near the metro next to Termini, making it easy to reach the city centre or Fiumicino airport directly. Rooms are well-maintained, towels are changed daily, and the staff are attentive. Free Wi-Fi is a plus.”
6.7Verified guest“The decoration really charmed me—the lobby and common areas have a lovely vintage feel with antique furniture and artwork on the walls, like a classic era. As a senior woman with limited mobility, I found the common areas clean, well-kept and easy to access. It felt warm and welcoming, like home.”
6.7Verified guest“A relaxing place with a good atmosphere and modern comforts. The staff recommended great local restaurants. Extensive services and facilities—there's even a free virtual tour.”
