My wife and I just visited Rome last week for our third year anniversary and were situated in this hotel for 3 nights. Staff was very friendly, spoke quite good English too! Old style hotel with a lift in which you have to close door for it to operate and is very small! We also bought 2 hop-on, hop-off bus... More

On first appearances this hotel is typical of rome, Located within 10 mins walk of Termini rail station and within walking distance to some of the main sights. However my experience is that this hotel needs a major facelift in terms of the decor and rooms. Furniture is old and damaged and rooms look jaded and in need of some... More

The location of the hotel is very central and within easy reach to the main sights. The staff was curteous and helpful, using their computer effectively to give you exact routes/replies. Buffet breakfast was quite varied and better than expected for a three star, with good capuccino from the mechanised source. Linen was clean and towels fresh. But The internal... More

With Hotel D'Este, charming and old-fashioned comes with slight dilapidation. Our room was nice with quirky decor, but some furnishings were in a state of ruin. The bathroom provided hot water after running the tap for what seemed like hours. The room was adequately clean, however. Sadly, guests in streetside rooms (esp. on the first floor) might have trouble sleeping,... More

In point form: - Horrible front desk service - Rooms are about 100 years old...I smell moths balls - When you ask for a non-smoking room...you get one...but your door has a gap at the bottom that allows plenty of smoke from the rest of the hotel to creep in. - It feels like you are sleeping in a rundown...

This hotel is is a great location, near the train station etc. 15 min walk from the Colloseum and the forum. Everything was a bit basic. No tea making facilities and the electrics seemed a bit dodgy. It is OK if you only want a bed and are out all day and in the evening. I wouldn't say you could... More

Not as bad as some of the previous reviews may suggest which perhaps could be a little harsh, although a down to earth attitude is required for this hotel to enjoy your stay in Rome, rooms are basic but comfortable with colour television and mini fridge, interior is old fashioned but a little dull but a OK breakfast and a...

I spent some time resourcing and chosing my hotel for my trip to Rome. The Hotel D'Este was my final choice and the price was reasonable. However, the Hotel failed to meet my expectations. Firstly, my room was at the back of the hotel with little natural light. The furnishings were aged and in need of upgrading. The wallpaper was... More
