Luggage Storage at Roma Termini

Noticed several postings on TripAdvisor about Roma Termini luggage storage. Looked like nist posts were possitive.

Just wanted to mention that when you check luggage at a train station, you turn over your passport so they can copy it (just like when you check into your lodgings).

and make sure you leave enough time to bail them back out in case there is a line or the attendant needed a cup of coffee

The only thing we have used is the in-person luggage storage on the lower level of Termini. It is fine except there can be lines both to check in and out. I would allow at least an hour on return. It may have changed but there were no self-service lockers but it was several years ago.

Could you perhaps change your train time to an earlier one?

Yes, I could take an earlier train. The possible extra time in Rome is by choice since I can’t check into the hotel in Florence until afternoon & I’ve been to Rome before but would kind of like to revisit a couple of highlights.

pre-pandemic there were a few private companies near Termini who would hold bags for a fee, perhaps a little easier to use if in the right place and if they still get decent reviews... but I have no idea if many or indeed any have survived or if they still give a decent service at a decent price...

Back in 2005, my sister and I checked our bags at the Rome Termini station, it was fine.
