The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was in good condition, comfortable bed and pillows. I am giving it 3 stars because on my second night there, there was a foul/awful smell from the toilet/ bathroom drainage. It was so bad, I couldn’t sleep. I spoke to the receptionist about it and the next day and they said they’d fix it. I didn’t smell it the next night but it wasn’t a pleasant experience and since there was no one at reception, I didn’t call to ask for a room change.

Good location, and the place was recently renovated. Room is small, bed is low to ground and not the most comfortable. It is in a convenient location, close to many restaurants and a metro station.

I can’t say enough good things about this hotel. Although the rooms are on the smaller side, they were incredibly clean and perfect for a city-style stay. The location is unbeatable — very close and walkable to major attractions like the Colosseum and Trevi Fountain. The surrounding area is full of charming shops and restaurants, and it felt extremely safe and well-lit, even at night.
Check-in was quick and easy. One thing to note: there’s a city tax of six euros per person, per night that must be paid in cash, so be sure to bring euros with you, as they don’t accept credit cards for this.
Overall, it was a fantastic stay — clean, secure, and in an amazing location. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Rome!

The reason why I put average is because they said they have breakfast there and there is nothing there to eat not even coffee in the morning. Otherwise the staff was excellent and the property is clean.

Decent little hotel. Very basic Staff friendly, helpful, professional and proactive. No added services (e.g breakfast/coffee) which is available at other hotels in the area. Had a couple of maintenance related issues in the room. Staff was proactive in moving us to a new room.

HOTEL CANOVA IN ROME
Great location. Reception was great. Room was clean. The room needs some attention. Door trim fell off and bathroom was missing a piece of trim completely so inside struts and insulation exposed. The place is old but these items could be fixed.

We recently stayed at Hotel Canova in Rome’s Cavour area during our November 2024 trip, and it was a pleasant surprise. While Marriott hotels are typically our go-to, the steep prices for accommodations in Rome led us to explore alternative options, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice.
Hotel Canova is a clean and quiet hotel, located within easy walking distance of Roma Termini station. It’s perfect for travelers looking for a simple, no-frills place to stay. The rooms are small and compact but offer everything you need for a comfortable night’s rest. Despite the modest amenities, the hotel is well-maintained, providing a peaceful and tidy environment.
If you’re seeking luxury, this isn’t the place, but for those who value cleanliness, convenience, and quiet, Hotel Canova is an excellent choice. It offered us a great base for exploring Rome without breaking the bank.
Highly recommend for budget-conscious travelers who appreciate practicality and a good location!
