Please DON'T stay here. My trip to Rome was amazing, but this hotel is genuinely horrible so I feel compelled to write this.
If you want something brief, check the first sentence out of each point below:
The positives ✅:
- TRANQUILITY. It's pretty calm at night, the most you'll hear is airplanes flying and a few people on the street.
The negatives ⛔:
- HORRIBLE COSTUMER SERVICE. One of the receptionists is extremely rude. When we first came in, there was a problem in our reservation and we were having issues solving it since we booked it with a travel agency, and, even though it's comprehensible to be stressed about that, the receptionist conducted himself in a completely inappropriate way. Not only did he refused to cooperate with us, he kept insisting that we had to pay an additional tax to the one we already had payed previously without explaining it clearly, just insisting on payment (he also seemed to change how much the tax costed during the conversation or at least it really sounded like it ? Saying it was about ~€40 per night because of the age of the guests just to change it to one ~€40 payment saying it was actually the tourist tax at the end ?), then he started yelling repeatedly and saying that "that's your problem, not mine", and only calmed down when we gave up and said we were going to another hotel, changing his ways completely.
- CLEANESS. The room had mold in the wall (image annexed to this post), leaks in the shower and, in out first day sleeping there, when we opened a folded blanket there were rests of food of a previous guest lying there (we never opened that before and never ate in the room, so no, it wasn't ours, that image is also annexed to this post), so we had to request another blanket.
- LOCATION. This is kind of relative, but if you are planning to stay most of the time on Rome's center (where most of the tourist attractions are) you may have to walk a lot or at least spend some good money on transportation. You can walk to the center, but depending on the time of your stay it becames unfeasible to do that every day. At least there is a bus stop and a metro line near there.
- FALSE ADVERTISING. So, we came to the hotel knowing it didn't offer this things, but for some reason in a lot of sites (including tripadvisor) this place is listed saying it offers things like free breakfast so be aware it doesn't. There are good places to get breakfast near there, but of course it comes with a price.
Some of this aspects are relative and can be experienced in different ways by different people, but still, if you want an advice: DON'T STAY IN THIS HOTEL. It's NOT hard to find other places to stay in the same price tag and in a better location and/or somewhere that offers more confort.
The fact that this place so proudly presents this 3 starts makes me astonished because I have no idea how it got even one in the first place.. .

Pleasant. Location was not bad and close to merto. The plumbing was not great and we had wet floors with leaks from the shower..

Rome is filthy. . Our car got robbed in front of the hotel, and everyone was laughing (including police that came after 1h). I'm not recommending Rome or center+south of Italy. Also, in the facility, the single was too small. The shower was leaking all over the bathroom floor, and the toilet was too close to the shower cabin (5 cm), and you couldn't properly sit on it..

Good quality and close to the center for the budget price. Very friendly staff who tried their best to communicate with us, even though we don’t speak italian (they spoke limited english). We also came very late at night - no problem. The staff gave us a warm welcome and smiles. The rooms were clean and had basic amenities like shampoo and soap. Overall for the price it was better than I expected :). The location was okay, there was a lot of graffiti but that applies to all places in Rome that aren’t a major tourist spot. There was a really nice caffe, close to hotel with cheap, tasty cappucino to enjoy in the morning..

Hotel Geo - Inexpensive and Clean. We stayed two nights recently on a recommendation of a friend. We did not return for a second stay.
Our room was very small for two adults with very small low twin beds that were very firm. The bathroom was very small but clean - not enough towels available.
The elevator was not working but a kind employee offered to carry our bags to the second floor.
There is a breakfast included in the modest cost of the room and snack machines in the lobby.
Although the Geo is located near public transportation, it is quite far from downtown Rome. Allow plenty of time to get to attractions
There are some excellent restaurants within walking distance.
If you are looking for an inexpensive, clean place to stay and don't mind using public transit, consider the Geo. it is a bargain. If you like soft beds, a convenient location and other amenities, keep looking.. .

Good hotel for reasonable price. We spent in this hotel 3 night during our Rome visit. They are having only one floor with room. The rooms are airconditioned. Room was clean and quiet. In the room price is breakfast included. The breakfast its an easy one, dont expect big buffet. I was a bit disappointet about the breakfast. They have also complementary WiFi in the whole hotel. Connection was quite good. The location isnt bad, ca. 15min. by tram from Termini. I would say, for the price it was a reasonable hotel. Nothing special but not bad.. .
