Great location! Walking distance to pretty much everything. (5-40 minutes of walk max to any major sighting, but it's worth it. You should be walking the streets of Rome anyway.) The train station is about 8-10 minute walk to here. You do not need a taxi, and it's perfectly safe to walk with your luggage in that area. The staff is extremely sweet too. They will let you store the luggage if you get there before your check in time, but do ask them first. Thanks!

The location is good because it’s very close to the train station. The room was basic but cleaned. On the first night, I noticed that the shower curtain at the bottom had mold on it, and I was going to complain. But when I came back from Exploring the next day, I noticed that the shower curtain had been replaced. So the cleaning people saw it on the second day and replaced it, which was good. The breakfast is very good. And the staff is friendly and helpful.

Great location for easy walking to shops and food, not too far from train station if you need to wheel your luggage like we did. The hotel is entirely on one floor and you take a cute little 2 person elevator to get there. The staff communicates well via WhatsApp and the are very kind.

The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The location was perfect for anyone wanting to walk to and from Termini station. It's a relatively easy walk to the Colosseum and a relatively easy walk to most restaurants in the area. The property is not fancy but location wise it is worth the stay. The complementary breakfast in the morning as a bonus and will save you a few dollars on your vacation.

Merulana Inn is a small "guest house" in the Esquilino neighborhood of Rome. Located just a few feet (meters) down the road from St Mary Major, it is a convenient stay if all you're looking for is a place to rest in between your explorations of the Eternal City. My family and I stayed here during the Jubilee (2025), and found it quiet and cozy. There are plenty of dining options around the neighborhood, and there is daily mass at St. Alphonsus (around the corner) and St Mary Major (down the street). Be aware that being a guest house--there are only 6 rooms from what I can tell--staff is only onsite during specific times. If you need to get a hold of the staff, who are very friendly and helpful, they can be reached via Whatsapp.
