Let me preface this by saying I paid $150 for three nights. I have stayed in more expensive hostels. Positive: super cheap if your lucky, location isn't horrible as long as your willing to walk 15 minutes to the sites, breakfast (cafe) is complimentary, close to osteria angelina, and rooms are quaint. Negative: breakfast is served in a dungeon, our... More

The Donatello is not what I would call a hotel. Let me explain: there's a line of trash dumpsters on the sidewalk close by. The Donatello is only one more of those dumpsters: it's claustrophobic and you are treated like garbage. The difference is that I guess the breakfast at the dumpsters may be slightly better. Don't waste your time... More

I stayed for 3 nights in December 2010. The rooms are tiny. I could not rotate my suitcase. I would recommend it only to tourists who have tours booked with their agents and who have pickup and drop off as it is difficult to get to the main city centre from this hotel. The surrounds of the hotel are unsound... More

Our room was very clean and comfortable. No schedule for the TV channels...asked at the desk for one...said we just have to scroll through the channels....The breakfast was very poor...only rolls and coffee. The hotel is not siutated in a very nice area....I felt uncomfortable, especially after dark. The front desk personel were not helpful or friendly. If we wanted... More

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for 3 days in Sept, overall we appreciated the hotel for what it was, a tourist class hotel. It has a 2 star rating, which I feel it right on. The rooms were smaller, but quite nice in appearance. The beds were firm, with extremely thin pillows. Our particular room overlooked the... More

Average rooms, needs some basic updates (bedspreads, curtains, etc). Service was just adequate as we were given incorrect instructions regarding busses, etc. (however excellent at breakfast) Location okay (15 min walk to metro) but not really central to main tourist district. We found this awkward as we would want to go back to our hotel during the afternoon siestas (when... More

We came from Venice and was driving down Italian cities when we noticed that the further down we went, the harder it was for us to get breakfast meats but that's ok. I have to say: you can't generalize the staff. Some of them were nice. Some of them were a bit too strange. To make a phone call even... More

The location was commercial, industrial with a lot of immigrants. The hotel itself was nice and clean, with old European charm. The rooms were small but adequate and had tiny balconies to step out onto. Breakfast was really poor. A fresh Italian pannini, a croissant, butter and jam with coffee in a thermos and watered down self service juice. As... More

My Mother and I went on a trip to Rome and Florence earlier this year. We booked it through Gate One and got quite a fantastic deal. We opted not to upgrade the rooms because last year we went to Ireland and were very happy with hotel in our package. We didnt spend alot of time in the room so... More
