Reviews of Paramount

The location is good (right next to Roma Termini)

First of all this is not a hotel. This is a refurbished apartment. There is no reception and the two bathrooms are shared by all guests (4 rooms share 2 bathrooms). The bathrooms have mold in them, especially in the showers, and because there are so many people sharing 2 bathrooms they can get quite dirty. How clean they are depends on how well behaved the other guests are. The room service and cleaning is quite rare. At the end of our trip our trash can was overflowing and our room wasn’t cleaned. The a/c broke twice during our stay. The first time the owner fixed it and the second time it fixed itself but an a/c shouldn’t be this unstable during a heatwave in Italy. This has never happened to us on our whole Italy trip. Also, there is a bright street light right next to the window and the curtains are too thin and transparent to block it at night

We liked the room, but the areas surrounding it after dark was sketchy.

Fantastic location. The train station, metro and main bus stop, including for the 8 euro airport express bus, are just a block away. One of the hop on bus stops is there too, which I like to do the first day in a new city. I walked to every attraction that I planned out, except for the Aquaduct Park which is a short metro ride to the outskirts of the city (excellent jogging there BTW).

The bed was too hard for me. But that is not uncommon because I am high maintenance on that. I sometimes travel with a separate suitcase just to bring a foam mattress.

Stuff r nice I was late but the person was nice

Long way from the city

✅✅✅ The location was awesome, 15 minute walk to the Colosseum, nice cafes with tasty breakfasts and takeaway pizza slices on the way, great dinners within walking distance, accessible via multiple buses and near two metro stations. ✅✅✅ The room was spacious, the bed comfortable, there was a TV, a good Wi-Fi connection, lots of places to set your things, a desk for working if needed, a floor-length mirror, hangers, etc. We had clean towels given to us and some shampoo/body wash for the duration of our stay, with the option to get a refill. There’s also free coffee on the premises!

DON’T let the main AI description of this place on booking.com lead you to believe that you will have a private washroom here. There’s two washrooms in the hallway. They are perfectly fine and clean, if a bit smelly at times - probably some issue with the canalization due to the building the apartments are in. But you will have to share. I would bring flip flops to use in the shower just in case. DO bring a sleeping mask because the room we stayed in didn’t have any curtains at all. The owners should definitely put up a curtain, as there is a rod to hang them on. DO have a way to call their number because there is no reception and no buzzer with a corresponding label by the entrance. Luckily, my mom had roaming.

I really loved the position a location in the city.

There was not anything to complain about :)

Look A First I Mean cover picture. This is not hotel service , sheared bath .

Large and spacious high ceiling room with fridge, safe and tv. Also had a sofa and a few side tables. Also very helpful host on how to use the metro. Very close to Roma termini and the food market.

I saw comments about the dodgy area, it is a little bit but not that bad. There's a lot of police by the train station nearby and during the day It's not noticeable. Felt safe there. I love that the train station is next door and important sights like colosseum are 20-min walk, makes it easy to get around.

Make sure to bring an eye mask as the curtains don't block the lamp or morning light shining in your room, luckily I had some so it wasn't a problem. The bathroom is shared which I only noticed after reading reviews. Wasn't so bad as it was quite and I only saw someone once, so I didn't feel rushed or lacked as much privacy, however I couldn't take my time as I normally would like to. Was also a little tricky finding the right door when checking in but that's an easy fix with better messaging.

Close distance to terminal

Shared bathroom, dangerous neighbourhood. Saw woman sitting on parked car infront of hotel. I recommend to park in garage close by.

Everything is good and comfortable

Only location

We missed the fact that it had a shared bathroom, which was very uncomfortable. The bathroom was very narrow and unpleasant. One of the guests had the flu and was constantly using the bathroom. I forgot my facial cream in the bathroom, and someone stole it. I notified the owner, and they said they would investigate but never responded. We did not stay at this hotel for more than one day but had to pay for all the days we reserved because it was non-refundable. Furniture was very old and even the walls were very dirty. Everyone should think carefully before deciding on this hostel; you can find plenty of better hotel rooms in good locations for the same price.
