About
Best Western Plus Hotel Universo
Best Western Plus Hotel Universo occupies a classic building on Via Principe Amedeo, a short walk from both Roma Termini station and the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. The property balances tourist convenience with a small wellness area that includes a sauna, steam room, and Turkish bath – a rare find in a four-star city hotel. Guests also have access to a fitness centre, a bar, and a business centre.
Breakfast is a highlight here: the buffet offers hot and cold options, fresh salads, and a wide selection of breads, cheeses, and pastries, all constantly restocked. Rooms are cleaned daily and many come with balconies or terraces. The hotel operates a 24-hour reception with express check-in/out, currency exchange, and a cash machine on site.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Prime location near Termini — The hotel is within a 5-minute walk of Roma Termini station and a 7-minute walk from Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, providing easy access to trains, metro, buses, and many tourist sites.
- Wellness facilities on-site — Unlike many city-centre hotels, this one has a Turkish bath, steam room, and sauna – ideal for relaxing after a day of sightseeing.

–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Some rooms are compact — A few guest reviews note that certain rooms, particularly the Standard Single and Small Double, can feel tight for more than one person.
- No on-site parking — The hotel does not offer parking, which may be inconvenient for guests arriving by car. Street parking in central Rome is scarce and expensive.
- Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in is only available from 14:00 to 23:59. Late-night arrivals after midnight cannot be accommodated unless arranged separately.
