The location was good

Stayed in June 2025

the bed was a sofa bed that made the most annoying and loud noises. we never met the owner or any other staff member. the room could have been cleaner and the pillows in a better shape.

It doesn’t look like security and the owner writes ob WhatsApp and wants additional payment

The location is good

The a/c isn’t as strong and it’s in a sketchy location in my opinion.

It was clean and I liked that it was near the train station.

Location was good, close to termini and clean

The AC doesn’t work.

There was an AC in the room but no remote which would have been nice as it got quite warm at night. Additionally, the window was not closing properly allowing the sounds of the street to enter the room which was a bit loud at night.

The location was quit central and only a 30 minute walk from the Colosseum away. There is a grocery store just around the corner and the accommodation is close to the train station where the shuttle bus drops you off. The host responded quickly to texts and was flexible when it came to check in times being delayed.

Dangerous area of Rome, we felt unsafe. They cut hot water and electricity for few hours, but I guess we werr just unlicky.

Kind staff, pretty clean.

The bathroom was ok, even if it could use some refurbishment. There were some mould and moisture stains on the ceiling.

The stay in total was ok! Sam and the staff on site were very friendly and arranged for us to leave our luggage earlier, which was great! The appartment is a maisonette type with a second floor for the third bed. It is not possible to walk there, but it is functional enough, so no problem with that. All three beds were comfortable. All in all was good enough for a stop-over for one night.

It is nice for only a short stay, it’s very basic. Only for sleeping.

Location was near the train, metro, bus and the tourist attractions.

Overall feeling of low to none apartment maintenance. Makeshift electrical installation. Appliances, walls, furniture well past its lifespan. Staff did a great job in cleaning but they can't magically refurbish a ran-down place. For a short stay OK, though. Good location.

Good wifi. Pretty clean as much as possible for almost unmaintained premises.

The place smelt of onions. Also the bed was just a sofa bed I felt like I was in a hospital. Our door was just a sliding glass door which people could (and did) look into.

The host was very responsive

Happy offers: bottle of water, Electric kettle, hair dryer. I asked at host but I never got answer . The room look like warehouse, with Old A/C

Check in was horrible. Kept bugging us for a check in time for many, many days in advance, and then, we had travel delays (travel is unpredictable). Had to wait an hour and a half or so for someone to let us into the building. (Owner/manager doesn't really account for lack of service to WhatsApp him. Many guests had problems, it seems.) All of the staff was very sweet and accommodating though. I just wish it was a bit easier. Bed was a pull out mattress that you kind of sunk into.

Room was large, clean, and had great A/C. Cleaning staff were absolutely amazing. Location is so convenient, close to central train station. Our room had a kitchen which was awesome.

The door of my room is a sliding door, you need to use a padlock...

They gave us a sofa bed for two with a very thin matress and not a double bed as the reservation specified. We had a horrible night sleeping there and that is why the day after we changed hotels as early as possible.

The building is quite nice and it is very near to Termini. The host was very easy with the check in and the bathroom was quite clean even when it's a shared one.

Good value for the price! Spacious bed, reliable Wi-Fi, private bathroom, and good air conditioning.

I would unfortunately not recommend this property to anyone. I completely understand that this is a budget stay, and we had no high expectations of anything luxury- but there are still basic standards that all places should meet, which Happy Rome definitely did not. Firstly, we did not feel secure or safe in our room. As you can see in the first picture attached, our “door” (a wobbly sliding panel) was held closed with one padlock on a piece of metal that was literally coming out of the wall, which could have most likely been pulled out with enough force. The fact that we didn’t have a proper, solid door OR a proper lock made us feel unsafe as two young women alone. The door to the apartments and the door to the main building were secure, but we still didn’t know who had access and who else was staying in out block of rooms and so we felt uncomfortable for sure. Secondly, this place was extremely unclean (see photos attached). The fridge wasn’t clean, the freezer was broken and extremely dirty, the sink was blocked and smelt foul. It was just generally unclean. Also, the air conditioning unit had a tube which went into a plastic container in the kitchen, which overflowed in the night and flooded the kitchen floor. There was also two nails sticking up from the wooden floor in the room which i nearly trod on several times, this is definitely a safety issue and we’re lucky neither of us cut our foot badly. I can see from looking at previous negative reviews that the owner doesn’t respond well to negative reviews which says everything about the kind of host he is. I am expecting a rude response to this so we will see. Honestly, I suggest he starts taking some responsibility and makes changes otherwise I doubt things are looking up for Happy Rome.

Everything

Excellent

Those photos on the site do not correspond to reality! It's uncomfortable. It's to leave things but not to rest. The neighbourhood is dirty. People are suspicious. A lot of homeless people. The room did not have doors but had a screen door where you could hear everything from the room. Security was not felt. The bed is very uncomfortable with sags. The walls are dirty. It was a terrible experience. My mistake for not reading the comments. I really wanted to get out of there, it was very dirty and disgusting. Maybe people were trying to keep it as clean as possible. Well, the general impression is that it's filthy. With room number one went the kitchen. She was nasty. It wasn't cleaned properly.

I didn't like anything. I wasn't far from the bus stop.
