Hotel Orlanda

“Can't say enough good things about the location, quality, cleanliness and affordability of this hotel!”

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent 8-night stay at the Hotel Orlanda -- from the friendly greeting we received from Marco at the front desk after a very long and sleepless flight to his warm and generous goodbye as we headed to Sorrento, our stay could not have been more perfect. The hotel is ideally located just a few minutes walk (even with luggage) from the Termini main train station which also seamlessly connects to both of the major subway lines and virtually all of the bus routes. Marco was kind enough to secure our luggage upon early arrival and until our room was available, so we took advantage of the time to walk a few short blocks over to the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and to explore the surrounding neighborhood. Our room was light and airy and a comfortable size with two twin mattresses combined to make a roomy King bed and there was plenty of storage space for our clothing. The bathroom was fine, but the shower was a little tight for two large Americans who are all elbows and knees. We did not opt for the offered breakfast addition, instead finding a local place that more than sufficed for our coffee and pastry needs. Marco was extremely helpful with maps, directions and transit recommendations and the staff kept our room and the common areas in immaculate condition. Two additional things in Hotel Orlanda's plus column are the fact that it has both an elevator and well-functioning air conditioning which was a must during our late September stay.

Wonderful family owned hotel in great location. The rooms are basic, but very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was filling. Good restaurants for dinner were within walking distance. We rented a car at airport and drove. They do have an agreement with parking garage at discount rate, but it was a few blocks from hotel. The train station was very close and we should have taken the train from airport and rented car from train station the next day. Lesson learned!

“Basic hotel with 5-minute walk of Termini Station”

We arrived here around 11:00 a.m. after a train trip from Florence. I had booked this hotel for our final night in Rome mostly due to its close proximity to the Termini Station – about 2 short blocks away. Finding the hotel was initially a moderate challenge. I had the street # (76) and found that on a sign. This was above an entry into a courtyard, from which at least 2 other hallways branched out. Then there was a list of around 4 hotels, which apparently were each on a different floor. I had not seen a configuration like this before. The elevator was small – it could accommodate 2 people or 1 person and 2 bags at a time. It took us 3 trips to get up to floor 3. The lady who greeted us at the front desk was quite helpful. Our room was ready in 15 minutes (which was a pleasant surprise). We unpacked somewhat and did our airline check-in, as she had offered to print our tickets at the desk. The room itself seemed relatively big. There was plenty of space for suitcases. The bathroom was small, and the shower stall was an afterthought (sort of a 3’x3’ closet, though it did keep the water in). The area around the hotel had plenty of restaurants and café’s though it seemed a bit rougher then, areas another 5 to 10-minutes’ walk away. I think the area gets better the further you walk from the train station. We had to get up by 4 a.m. to start packing up to head to the airport, so if there was any sort of breakfast offering, we didn’t partake. They did have a coffee maker that worked during business hours. The front desk was staffed from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and they had an after-hours call #. This hotel served our needs for a final jumping-off point for returning home.
