Hotel Giugiu

Hotel Giugiu is a family-run hotel. I like the special and almost familial accommodation that is warm, thoughtful, helpful and friendly. Specifically I'm touched by the kindness of G, who I believe manages the hotel. Right from day one, he realized the challenges I may deal with, just on the language barrier alone, so he was quick to provide some helpful suggestions on my itinerary, reasonability of prices of goods/services, reminded me to be aware of my surroundings as I go out, etc.. He has a genuine caring and easy personality. He even lent me an extension cord and plug/converters for my electronic gadgets, and re-heated my leftover pizza! Such personalized, almost familial attention cannot be compared with other hotels. The family members are very respectful. One of the top reasons I like with Giugiu hotel is its location: walking distance to Termini station and various attractions, shops, restaurants, bike rental, money changer, pharmacy and almost everything else that a foreigner would find very helpful and convenient. On my 4th day, I ago about almost feeling like a local, due to proximity of various points of interests. Because the hotel is just about 5 minutes walk to Termini station, I was emboldened to catch the train to Florence the next day when Rome was supposed to have a heavy rainfall. It added to another great adventure on an already amazing trip! I also felt relaxed catching the train back to the airport, as I strolled the day before my departure date at the Termini station taking note of how I'd proceed the next day. The hotel itself is clean, quiet, and decent. The wi-fi signal is strong. For the cheap price, it is a bargain. Not sure about other amenities, but some of the hotel guests celebrated a birthday party at another function room, which they obviously arranged with management. Overall, my stay at Hotel Giugiu contributed greatly to the memorable and amazing experience I had on my trip to Rome...and Florence!
