Not a great hotel not worth the price
Bathroom leaks all over - they demand you checkout at 10:30 am, staff not friendly and on top of that - expensive!

The front desk staff was very helpful with answering our questions and suggesting things to see. The breakfast was excellent, room was very clean and comfortable. They were doing some renovations on the upper floors, so the stairways were a little dusty, but there was no noise, and it didn't affect our stay. Walking distance to train station was a plus!

One Night Stay at Hotel Caliornia in Rome
Check-in was easy. Staff was friendly and helpful. They allowed us to store our luggage since it was not check-in time yet. Very simple room, seemed clean. However, no conditioner, and the vent was putting out a bad smell. (sewage like). I sprayed the sheets with perfume and cologne to help. We were just there overnight. The hotel offers a very nice breakfast spread with cheeses/meats and other options like scrambled eggs, breads, and juices.
