“(almost) nice stay in Rome”

We visited Rome for the second time one week ago with our 2 years old kid and both grandmothers.

We visited Rome for the second time one week ago with our 2 years old kid and both grandmothers. All 3 rooms were booked by me, through my travel agency and, due to all my past experiences, one week before the check-in, I wrote an e-mail to the hotel to make sure everything is all right. I recived the confirmation and when we arrived at the hotel they tried to convince me that the rooms were made separately and they will be in different wings. I did not like the fact that they tried to put the blame on me, although I told them I work in tourism for almost 20 years now. The single room from the Aurelian Wing was a storage room initialy, because, with all due respect, no human being should pay for that kind of room. Incredibly small, bathroom full of rust, dirty, mold smelling and paper walls. Their excuse was that the room is a single one. This doesn't mean that the room should be small and old and smelly and rusty. Although this was not my mistake, I had to pay for an upgrade because, as I said before, nobody should stay in that kind of room. So if you can avoid to check-in in room P31, go ahead ! Otherwise, the building is incredibly beautiful, the rooms in the main building are clean. Bathrooms need restoration. Also, the breakfast was the weirdest one I had until now. You are not allowed to pick your food or coffee, you stay in line and somebody will serve you what you show them. The terrace where breakfast is served has an incredible view. The hotel is a 10 minutes walk distance from the St. Giovanni metro station. There are pizza shops, farmacy, a small shop. Almost all reception staff were friendly, helpfull and kind. If the building will be renovated and the bathrooms installation changed, this would be a hotel I would recommend.

“Not a superior room that we paid for”

I booked a superior room which looks great on the photos but when we arrived the room had no drawers for our cloths so we lived out of our suitcase. The wardrobe was not high enough to stop our cloths touching the floor. The bed was 2 single metal beds pushed together with 2 single mattresses. Not … more

“Three day stay”

Stayed for 3 nights, staff friendly, room very basic but clean. Breakfast is ok but you have to ask for everything which is weird, unable to even use the coffee/hot water machine yourself either. Area is very run down, lots of litter, supermarket and bakery across the road. Hotel is quite a way ou… more

Stayed for 3 nights, staff friendly, room very basic but clean. Breakfast is ok but you have to ask for everything which is weird, unable to even use the coffee/hot water machine yourself either. Area is very run down, lots of litter, supermarket and bakery across the road. Hotel is quite a way outside central Rome or the train station area, so lots of walking if you stay here unless you use taxis. Would not return to Rome, found the city dirty and overcrowded, so therefore would not return to this hotel either,
