“Very friendly, accommodating hosts, good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2011

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. The room was simple but had everything we needed, including wifi. The people running it were very nice and helpful. They brought our breakfast to the room and we had our coffees and croissants on the little balcony that came with the room. The hotel is very close to the Piazza Santa Maria Maggiore and on walking distance from the Colloseo, Forum Romanum and the main tourist attractions.

“Quite good if you dont expect too much”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 April 2010

We stayed in hotel for two night. Hotel was clean and safe. Only the beds were very hard, and the room was next to reception, so i heard everybody. Breakfast was in the price and good. If you dont expect too much so it is cheap option to stay in Rome.

“Portofortuna Prison”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 February 2010

My husband and I stayed here with our teenage daughter. The only good thing to say about this hotel is that location is excellent. Close to the Termini station and the stunning Santa Maria Maggiore. Rome is compact so it was within easy walking distance of all the major sites. However, the hotel itself is very basic. No front door key you have to ring a bell to get in and out. Beds were very very hard to the point of being uncomfortable. The room overlooked the main road but the window shutters did not close making it very noisy all night long. We anticipated getting our breakfast in a courtyard room instead rather like prisoners we were handed a tray at the door each morning. In the absence of any table we then had to sit on our beds and eat a very basic a breakfast .Apart from location would definitely not recommend this hotel.

“Perfect Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2009

person found this review helpful

Brilliant B&B in the city - right by Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore and the metro station Vittorio Emanuele, although within walking distance to all of the major sights... 1.8 KM to Trevi Fountain, 1.4 KM to the Colosseum etc. 5 minute walk from Termini (Train Central Station). Room - very clean, satellite TV, air conditioning... Breakfast - which can be eaten in your room or in the small quaint courtyard - yoghurt, small cake bar, a croissant or sweet roll, carton of fruit juice and tea or coffee.
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Hotel Portafortuna I would highly recommend to others and hope to revisit at some point in the future.
