Scene
Umbertino-style building with chic wood accents
The lobby has a trendy chic interior, with bright chandelier lights illuminating the reception desk and dark wooden accents creating contrast against white walls. The reception area is small, and the only other public space is the connecting lounge and dining area, which is one long railroad-style room. Each area is sectioned off with its own type of seating -- from straight-back chairs in the bar and cushioned chairs in the dining room. Kids are welcome here, but most of the guests are couples who appreciate style on a budget.
Location
Central, close to Termini station
The immediate area is busy and chaotic, with a multitude of restaurants and trattorias, bars, cafes, and shops. The closest tourist attractions are the Church of Saint Susanna at the Baths of Diocletian, the National Gallery of Ancient Art in Barberini Palace, and the National Museum of Rome. The Villa Borghese, where there are lush gardens and fine examples of Renaissance art, is a 20-minute walk away. And a bus to go to Villa Ada, a popular Roman park with pleasant views and bike rental, stops two blocks from the hotel. Ciampino Airport is a 20-minute drive away, and Fiumicino Airport is a 35-minute drive, but there's a train connection for both airports at Termini station.
Rooms
Small and stylish with the basic amenities, but in-room Wi-Fi costs extra
Rooms at the Yes Hotel are nicely sized, with working areas and enough space to walk around in. Like the lobby, they have beautiful dark-wood embellishments and furniture. All Single, Double, and Triple Rooms have the same floral bedding, off-white walls, and abstract art paintings on the walls, and come with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and safes, but in-room Wi-Fi comes with a fee. Small bathrooms are clean and come with toiletries and hairdryers. Single and Double Rooms have stand-in showers, while Triple Rooms have a tub.
Features
Free Wi-Fi at reception only, cold breakfast buffet included in room rate
