Having travelled from Malaysia to Rome for the first time, to attend a concert, we took an Uber from our overnight accommodation near Stadio Olimpico, and commenced a three-night stay at Hotel Canada to 'do the tourist thing' in the City.
We had made our booking based upon the positive reviews here, and it certainly proved to be a great choice.
We were allocated a room on the top floor of the hotel, which we reached via the historical little elevator.... With me being a larger-sized guy - and having a wife and 3 large suitcases to squeeze alongside me - this was a comical adventure in itself, and ensured that we started our stay with a smile!
The room was beautifully & classically-decorated, and contained a lovely four-poster bed. In fact, all of the furniture was solid, almost antique quality - no cheap chipboard chain-hotel nonsense here! The hidden safe was pure class , straight out of an Agatha Christie novel !
The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable and afforded us an undisturbed sleep. Our room was street-facing, but there was no noise disturbance at night. We heard no noise from other guests, so the soundproofing between rooms was good. The individually-controlled aircon was very effective at cooling the room.
The room was spacious, with plenty of storage space for our clothes and luggage.Unfortunately there was no refrigerator provided; But there was a kettle for making hot drinks....Having travelled from Malaysia to Rome for the first time, to attend a concert, we took an Uber from our overnight accommodation near Stadio Olimpico, and commenced a three-night stay at Hotel Canada to 'do the tourist thing' in the City.

Oddly, plastic coffee cups were provided, instead of porcelain, which seemed a little at odds with the classic décor of the room.
The bathroom was large, clean and well-decorated. It had a big shower cubicle, accessible even to a larger guy like me. Water temperature and pressure were good.
We opted not to take the hotel breakfast so cannot comment on this. The hotel is 5 minutes walk from Termini station, and the hop/on bus stop there. There are a huge variety of cafes and restaurants nearby, a small supermarket in the next street over, and also a yummy gelato shop.
This classy, comfortable, affordable classic hotel certainly gives you more bang for your buck than the majority of the overpriced properties in the city. If we ever return to Rome, we would consider staying here again.More
