Hotel Rishon was a great place to stay. The room was clean and comfortable, the location was convenient, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and would recommend this hotel to others.
Our stay in Rome was okay overall. The room was a bit smaller than we expected, but it was clean and had everything we needed for a short stay. The location was convenient for exploring the city, and the check-in process was straightforward. While it wasn’t anything exceptional, it was a decent place to stay if you’re mainly looking for a place to sleep while sightseeing.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Location perfect near the station very clean good aircon during heat wave -improve on coffee machine and cups
I needed a room near the train station at the last minute so I could catch an early flight back home the next morning. Hotel Rishon was a fantastic find that had just completed renovations and provided a clean, safe, elegant and welcoming stay. It’s on the north side of the station which has fewer youth hostels and more govt offices so it’s a little less frenetic than the south side of the station. Highly recommend this hotel!

Room was good and close to the train station and a super market. The air conditioning was good and the bed was comfy. Room access was a physical key instead of a tap card like a lot of other hotels. Nothing exceptional but not bad. Our shower had some weird bandaid stuck on the wall that wasn’t cleaned before hand.
Great location! It’s across the street from Roma termini if you take the Marsala uscita. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Clear instructions were sent before checking in. The room is spacious and super clean.
Carolina and Maria are wonderful people always helpful and with great siggestions, great smiles always there when needed.
The place was extremely clean , bathrooms and water pressure were awesome. Easy access to Termini station. Secure entry and exit. Cleaning staff great. The terrace on second floor was a paradise the espresso machine awesome. You have you have to book a short or long stay in Rome this is the place . You will not be disappointed.
Once again please thanks Maria and Carolina awesome people.
This is a really great property right across the street from the Roma Termini. The room was clean and nice, and provides everything you need. When you book, get VERY specific directions because there isn't signage and we had trouble finding the door. The sign was on a keypad the size of an index card. Once you find it, everything inside is great. You won't see the staff after you check in, even during business hours, we couldn't find anyone. We didn't need them for anything, though, as the room was very clean, nice, and the air conditioning was great.
From the moment we booked, Rishon had messaged us with all the information we needed. They were helpful in explaining the routine around checking in after hours and the information to enter the building was very clear, including the videos.
The building smelled fresh and the room is probably one of the cleanest rooms I have stayed in. Any question I had the staff answered promptly and were very easy hoing with my requsts. The room is elegant yet simple in design. Cleaned and reset daily whilst we were out.
Perfect location, with it being literally round the corner from Roma Termini. Yet walking distance to main attractions.
I had mentioned that my wife and I will be celebrating an anniversary, and the staff had kindly left a lovely not and beautiful flowers when we checked in.
You can see the care and attention being taken to refurb the hotel, it will be perfect for the whole family.
I have already planned to visit Rishon again.
Hotel is seemingly very new so room and fixtures were in exceptional condition as expected.
Staff were very friendly, lovely and helpful.
Location was beyond helpful standing right next to Roma Termini station.
Not as helpful for the sights though - it’s a reasonable walk from most of the main city history.
Quite close to the Colosseum though!
Would definitely stay again.
The room was very clean and the shared spaces too. The reception was friendly and helpful. It is well located near the train station and close to many options for restaurants.
Hotel was spotless and looks as if just been refurbished. Staff were polite but front desk not always manned. No food facilities, just a free coffee machine. Hotel is located next to Termini Train Station which has it's advantages. The disadvantage is that it is a 35-40 minute walk to all major tourist attractions.
