We stayed at the Cristoforo Colombo on June 28th, 2008 - at the very end of our 10-day bus tour of Italy. I have to say that we didn't spend much time at the hotel. But, what we saw was nice. The lobby is large, clean, and well-decorated. Then, we walked to a separate building to go to our room.... more

After reading some of the review I am surprised. We stayed at this hotel and loved it. It was clean, well furnished, had a great bathtub after a long day of sight seeing. We found the breakfast good, who wants a heavy meal in the heat they get there anyway with a full day of sightseeing ahead of you. There... more

This was our last stop during our Trafalgar tour and as many other people have said, it is way out of town and there is nothing close by. Since I had read other reviews before leaving, I was prepared and picked up a large sandwich and snacks during one of our bus stops on the way into Rome. The rooms... more

Excellent hotel, with very nice rooms. Superb bathrooms! Excellent breakfast. Very helpful and friendly hotel staff. A little out of the way, with not much to walk to. The exterior of the hotel doesn't look like much. more

Just wanted to say that I stayed here during the last night of a group tour. This hotel had the most comfortable beds I found during my 2 weeks in Italy. Of course, the location isn't great for sightseeing, but when I was there, a big shopping mall was being built right next door. At least there will be something... more

Other reviews of this hotel have been fairly negative and this one will be no exception. This hotel is quite far from the sights of Rome. You have to walk to the tobacconist shop to travel tickets first, then board the bus to the train station. The train station is the 2nd last from the end. To travel to the... more

Pros: Clean rooms. Cons: No access to public transportation. We had to walk approximately one mile just to buy tickets. Rooms were next to driveway with tour busses coming in and out through the night. Staff was mostly indifferent and disinterested. more

Again reading other people's reviews we were a bit cautious about booking this hotel but due to a low budget we had no other choice. We knew before we got there that it was quite far away from the city centre so the 30 min taxi journey from the train station came as no suprise - neither did the bus... more

While this hotel looks like a beautiful bargain from the Internet photos it was a shock to discover the the truth. Yes it is only $99 a night, but it is quite far from central Rome. The bus and train trip into and out of Rome Termini Station was tiresome after a long day of sight seeing. The pool is... more
