Just got back from a 3 night stay at the Residenza Maximus and here is my review. We first received an e-mail from them to confirm our arrival. I stated that we would be getting there between the hours of 9pm to 9:30pm. Upon arrival there was nobody there to check us in. We ended up knocking on a residents door who ended calling the manager on the phone. All in all we waited about 20 minutes or so to finally got our room key. Note to everyone the reception desk is only open from 9am to 6pm(so they claim). If you get there after 6pm good luck. The manager was nice and finally got us our room.
The room we got was a simple room nothing special but all we wanted was a place to sleep and this place was ok (the rooms also have A C which trust me its a must in the summer heat). The maid service on the other hand was way below par. After the 1st day we had no toilet paper, i know the maid came in to make our beds but her attention to detail was awful. Our sink was always dirty, never bothered to clean it and for the toilet paper... We had to go across the street to buy a roll. Before leaving for our sight seeing i would put my toilet paper in my bag just to see if the maid would stock us up. It never happened. Note #2 bring your own toilet paper.
I would have complained to the manager but there door was always closed. The walls in room are paper thin so if you get noisy neighbors like we did you might have some trouble sleeping. Also, the bar just a few houses down the street doesn't help either.
The Best thing this place has going for them is there location its about a 5 minute walk to the Colosseum, taxis and a few great restaurants. So, if you are looking for a place to stay for a few nights, that is reasonable in price close to the Colosseum then yeah i would recommend this place.
