“Good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed here from 27 Oct. to 02 Nov. 2011. The location is very good. It’s just a few streets away from the major sites, taxi stand and Metro stations. There is a coffee shop in the corner, a grocery store across and a decent restaurant next door.
Marcello, the receptionist was very helpful and attentive. He gave us all the information we needed with a map of Rome, the minute we checked in, without us asking. He also answered all our questions. what he did not know, he will check out and tell us later. The older man and the young lady were not communicative or helpful.
The room was spacious. It was convenient to have the small fridge. They have a water kettle but nothing else. They should offer coffee and tea in the room and a coffee maker. There is also a big round table and two chairs in the room, very handy to work and eat. The decoration is funky. The bed was very comfortable. The Wi-Fi worked very well. The bathroom is long but narrow and shower is very small, even though there is room for a bigger one. There is nowhere to place shampoo or anything else inside the shower, except on the floor. But then there is little space to bend or kneel down. Really weird, considering I’m a petite person, just 4’11” and 125 lbs. Big American men will have difficulties.
Room had double pane windows, but still could hear street noise outside a bit. Especially, we could hear trucks cleaning the streets and work being done on the street. The good thing is that there is a no traffic street on one side of the building. You could hear the noisy neighbors going up & down the stairs chatting and shouting to one another. They sounded French and I was tempted to ask them to be more considerate.
The TV channels were fantastic. They had French and Spanish as well. The dubbed movies could be seen in the original language at the touch of a button. The TV was a huge plasma one.

“Warm personable service, and near all tourist sites”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Friendly service, clean large rooms and fabulous location! Despite being on the little street that ends in the tourist-mobbed Trevi Fountain, Residenza Al Saraceno is relatively quiet, as it is on a separate little bit of the street that blocks car access from the major road with a sidewalk. There is no breakfast served in this boutique hotel, with the wide marble staircase and old-fashioned little wooden elevator, and the front desk closes at 8PM. But downstairs there is an upscale coffee bar with pastries or a full-blown restaurant that seems to be a real Roman hangout (as opposed to a tourist trap), and next door is a more casual bar that serves full American breakfast. Also across the street is a supermarket. The main seen-and-be-seen walking/shopping drag in town, Via del Corso, is only a block away; most major historical sites are within walking distance. And yet, the room was surprisingly large, and the service was personable and warm. I loved staying at lovely Residenza Al Saraceno.

“Great staff great location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2011 via mobile

These apartments are in a fantastic spot near Trevi fountain. The two guys that run the hotel were so polite and helpful it was fantastic. The rude young lady who was occasionally on reception didn't represent the hotel well at all..clearly she doesn't enjoy her job! How ever she was rerely at the desk which was great. The rooms were large and so were the bathrooms. We stayed in the two bedroom deluxe which had two queens and a sofa bed with two bathrooms great for a family. The guy on reception gave us a tour when we arrived and showed us the tv etc. The tv had a heap of stations which included kids and movies and had the ability to choose your language. The lift was very small and it was a bit of a pain if someone on another floor left the door open so it wouldn't move to your floor to allow to get in. The rooms were clean and had everything you need very spacious and nice. The reception area is nothing special but clean and ok, the beds are very hard and didn't have enough covers. Overall a good place to stay. Mainly nice staff which were helpful. They offer airport transfers 60 euro which isn't bad most places charge 90 euro

Whilst the rooms are not massive, they are clean & modern.we had a kitchenette, which was great as we were traveling with our 3 children. Great central location, wished we were there longer

“Holiday in Rome”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We (myself, wife and 13 yo daughter) stayed at this apartment for 4 nights as part of a holiday in Europe. The location is perfect for any sightseeing trip to Rome. It was basically between the Step and the Trevi. Neither more than 200 m. Perfect to drop in and make lunch bought from the supermarket 10m away during the day. The appartement is very spacious and upmarket. During the day it is quite and peaceful. At night unfortunately we could hear the dishes from the downstair resturant getting washed. Fortunately this stopped at about 11pm. The staff at the small front desk were excellent, helpful and could speak English. The one guy even ran to the one main rod to get us a Cab.
