Dipendenza Hotel Galileo

“Nice place for sleeping. ”

We were only in Rome for a short time but this was a clean nice place to stay. 10 minutes walk from the train station/metro. They offer a free breakfast but since we were checking out so early in the morning they had a boxed breakfast waiting for us. They were difficult to find at first. You have to check in at hotel Galileo on the first floor first before going up to the third floor of hotel massimo. To note we did live out stay there but there is some moldy liking spots above the small shower, I wouldn't have even noticed if I didn't look up, but it definitely didn't have a moldy smell at all. It actually felt very nice to sleep in. The beds are on the firmer side for those that like that like me as well. I would stay here again. The office is 24 hours and it is good for a quick stay where all you need is sleep.

“Good for the price and location....”

This is a bit hard to rate, and I wonder why it is 11 months between reviews. This hotel was booked as it was indicated that it may be used by a tour company that we were to join the day after (so looking to have 2 nights not 1.

This is a bit hard to rate, and I wonder why it is 11 months between reviews. This hotel was booked as it was indicated that it may be used by a tour company that we were to join the day after (so looking to have 2 nights not 1. That did not happen and NOT the properties fault). I thank previous reviewers for their insights. 1: There seem to be 3 properties here but 1 office. This is found by going down what looks like, and is, a driveway to a parking station. The office as at the boom gate, on the right. Staff and checkin good. 2: Access to the hotel is back up the drive, about 10 meters to the right, through the Judas gate and in. On the right side there are 5 steps to the lift. This could present issues if accessibility is an issue. The lift is an after thought to the building, fitting into the staircase. It is small. 1 person and a bag, or 2 people. Not much space at all. When you reach the 3rd floor there is an intercom. You buzz the front desk, the outer door is opened. You then use the keycard to open an inner door. As both doors self close, and they are note that wide you will find getting the bags in a bit awkward. Once in though you see what is like the original front desk and a small breakfast area. There are 12 rooms on this floor. 3: The room. A good size but spartan. Both the room and bathroom were very clean. The bed surprisingly comfy, linen good. There is a writing desk. In the desk cupboard a small fridge, but nothing in it save a cork screw. Not even a drinking glass. Our room, 306, faced an inner court yard, and there is no Roman ruin in sight as stated on the web site (unless I got the wrong web site). There is a small tv on the wall, 18inch. There was no dvd player... again as per web site. The bathroom is modern, but the shower a little different. There are 2 doors that when closed meet in the corner. The foot print is small, so the doorway is small. A fuller frame may have a problem getting in or out. 4: Facilities. Wifi is available and seemed to work well. Breakfast was also provided. This is in the Hotel Galileo part, 1st floor. The area is bright and clean. The breakfast basic cereal, cold meats eggs and juice, but all very tasty. The one failure is the toaster. It doesn't toast, but does turn bread into bricks. A failing here. For Rome, this is a good value property, very basic but clean. I believe that it is rated 3 star, but believe it should be 2.5. Having said that though, if back in Rome it would be on the consideration list, but I would be looking about as well.
