The Hive Hotel

The hotel’s location is excellent—only a 7-minute walk from the train station, and most of Rome’s must-see sights are within about 20 minutes. If you want to stay in the center of everything, this place is a great choice. However, the service was a nightmare. The elevator is almost a joke: maximum 2 people, extremely slow (luckily my room was on the 2nd floor). Maybe it’s cultural differences, but the staff here were the rudest I’ve ever experienced. My flight from Nice to Rome was canceled, which meant I lost a night at the Hive. I called to ask for help canceling that night—it wasn’t my fault for not showing up—but both Trip.com and the hotel staff were completely unhelpful. Very disappointing and frustrating. My room was close to construction, non-stop noise over the night. Bottom line: the location is great, but don’t expect any favors or kindness from the hotel. When you’re already stressed, their cold and unfriendly attitude will only make things worse.

Very nice and close to the spots!!

I highly recommend the Hive Hotel for anyone planning a trip to Rome. The service is exceptional; they allowed us early check-in, upgraded our room for free, and even decorated it for our honeymoon. The location is perfect, conveniently close to the train station, airport, Coliseum, and Basilica. Additionally, the room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped.
