I especially liked the awesome and very friendly staff! I was travelling alone and it was always a delight talking to them, after a long day of walking around in Rome! Also, the maid was very pleasant, sweet and friendly as well.
The place is average when it comes to cleanliness, and they provide free soap for each guest (if you're travelling with cheap airlines this might be good to know!). Cressy is located near Termini and is easy to find. There's a street market right across the street in the mornings, where you can get delicious, cheap fruit (and vegetables and a lot of other stuff).
I stayed in an all-female dorm room that had five beds, although there were never more than three of us. With five people it might be a little crowded, but for a short stay I would think it is manageable. Although there was no air conditioning in my room it never got too hot. We slept with an opened window every night and the temperature was very nice, and also we didn't have problems with mosquito bites etc. although the lights were on for quite a long time.
After a change of plans with my Rome visit I had to find a new budget accomodation really last minute. I only booked my stay at Cressy a week or so before I got there and am very happy that my stay turned out to be a very pleasant experience instead of an catastrophic last minute emergency stay!
In conclusion, I have only positive things to say about my stay at Cressy and I highly recommend it to everyone who is looking for a budget accomodation near Termini!!
Thank you, dear staff at Hotel Cressy :)
