About
Cressy
Cressy is a one-star hotel with 17 rooms on Via Volturno 27, in the area around Rome's Termini station. It holds a 7.9 guest rating from 1,099 reviews. The description positions it as a low-budget, pleasant base, and guests' comments consistently point to the same strengths: a central location, clean rooms and a welcoming reception. Facilities are pared back, with free Wi-Fi in rooms, air conditioning and heating, a lift, luggage storage and a 24-hour security presence.
Rooms range from singles and twins to triples, quadruples and two dormitories. Some are en suite and others share bathrooms, so it's worth choosing carefully when booking. The surrounding streets put several major sights within walking distance: the Trevi Fountain is nearly 20 minutes on foot, the Spanish Steps about 25 minutes, and Termini station just a few minutes away.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Staff are a genuine highlight. — Reception staff are repeatedly described as friendly, patient and helpful, with guests mentioning maps, sightseeing tips and a staff member who waited until a late group had all arrived.
- A practical base for sightseeing. — The hotel is a few minutes' walk from Termini station, close to the metro, and within walking distance of the Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps.
- Clean and functional rooms. — Guests repeatedly mention clean rooms, bright interiors and everything needed for a short stay; dorms and shared bathrooms are also reported as tidy.
- Low-budget pricing with central convenience. — Rates start at 105 GBP for a one-star property, and the hotel keeps things simple while offering in-room Wi-Fi, luggage storage and express check-in.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Street noise can reach the front rooms. — A guest in a street-facing shared room advised earplugs, citing late-night passers-by and early-morning traffic.
- Not every room has a private bathroom. — Dormitories and several budget room types don't list a shower, and a guest confirmed a shared bathroom was kept clean. Private-bathroom seekers should check the room details before booking.
- Expect a one-star experience. — The Value rating of 7.6 is the lowest named category, below Rooms (8.3) and Staff (8.4), and rates start at 105 GBP, so the proposition is location and basic comfort rather than facilities.
- Check-in window ends at midnight. — Standard check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals fall outside the usual window. Check-out is between 01:00 and 11:00.

7.9Verified guest“The location was excellent overall and reception were friendly. Being close to the train station was a real plus.”
7.9Verified guest“I really enjoyed this quaint place. Reception were amiable, and the location was perfect – a short walk to the Roman Forum and Rome's main train station. It was also close to Elettra, where you can get dinner.”
7.9Verified guest“The reception area was clean, there was a fridge for guests to use, and three locked doors added to the sense of security.”
7.9Verified guest“The dormitory had everything I needed.”
7.9Verified guest“Facilities were excellent and the staff superb. One staff member was particularly helpful and waited until all our group had arrived, as the night staff spoke little English. As a basic, clean, affordable place near the station, it's a great pick. We shared a three-room, shared-bath setup, and I'd recommend earplugs if you're on the street side – drinkers pass by at night and traffic starts early.”
