The room was small, but manageable. The shower was great. The breakfast was just bread (a croissant and a roll), but the coffee was out of this world good. Staff was friendly and helpful. Best of all, the bus was about 1 block away, as was the tram. Subway about 5 blocks. I'd stay here again because of how fast... more

This inexpensive little hotel near the main train station was a in a prime location for us. Since Rome only has two metro lines we needed to be close to a metro stop and this was close enough. The rooms were average size (by European standards) and clean. The bathroom was small but clean. No problems with staff and cleanliness...linens... more

I booked the Donatello as a package with an agency and wasn't sure what to expect. To complicate matters, I picked up bronchitis in Paris just before arriving, making sure I could barely walk, let alone speak Italian. Mauro checked us in. He's smoking hot and speaks perfect English and is an amazing gentleman. He walked us to our room... more

We found the Hotel Donatello and it's lovely Bernardo by way of our scheduled B&B owner Baci da Roma being a total flake, and waste. Hotel Donatello has lovely rooms with balconies, and tons of space for Rome. There is a charming continental breakfast. We walked in and the rate was only 100eu. not too bad. There is a charming... more

We loved this hotel. It was simple, and clean, with friendly staff, adequate breakfast, and located in an authentic Roma neighborhood. It's ordinary, shuttered, stucco exterior housed very clean and spacious rooms. The bath was recently remodled, and the windows were new. The bath was large and all marble. We really felt like local residents, shopping at the market, stopping... more

I had read the reviews and forewarned about paper-thin walls. But with earplugs I was fine. The bed was comfy, shower worked and I found the staff accomodating. Next to tram and near bus...and short walk to Metro. Spartan breakfast, but coffee was great!!! When in Rome, consider this (especially as it ws tied to AlitaliaVacations package)! more

I just got back from Rome and I truly had the best time of my life. The Donatello Hotel is really a great hotel the staff was very accomodating and pleasant . The went out of their way to assit you with all your travelling needs and concerns. For example my friend and I got lost in the city and... more

I totally recommend this hotel! It was our first time in Italy, traveling on a budget and we couldn't have asked for anything better. First, don't be fooled by the picture of the entrance to the hotel. Unfortunately, Rome is plagued by graffiti. When I first saw the outside in person I was scared because of the graffiti but once... more

My wife and I arrived in Rome for a three day stay. We arrived at our hotel from the airport without difficulty thanks to a wonderful taxi driver. Our greeting upon entering the lobby was great! The staff were helpful and checked right into our room. Our room was adequate and clean with a nice shower area. The hotel is... more
