Just come back from 3 nights at this hotel and although I enjoyed my stay I was a bit disappointed. The hotel lacks the sparkle I would expect from a 4 star hotel. The hotel looks tired and in need of a refurbishment. First of all the plus points
- Location. Good location 5-10 minutes walk from the Vatican and 15 minutes walk to the nearest metro station.
- Staff. Staff were friendly and helpful, booked our transfer back to the airport and generally ok.
Now for the not so good.
The hotel website states that it has a garden restaurant. This is actually at the Atlantic Star hotel 5 minutes walk from the Atlante Garden. We decided to investigate but the prices at the restaurant were astronomical and would good meal would have set us back over £100 each. We felt a little mislead by the hotels advertisement of the restaurant.
The ground floor of the hotel was clean but shabby, we sat in the reading lounge one evening and there was a red sofa with stuffing hanging out and the two arm chairs were old and uncomfortable.
Breakfast was adequate but could have more choice. I have stayed in 2 star hotels with a better breakfast.
The room was very small and dark. fabric wall coverings made the room very old fashioned. There was a desk with a TV, 2 bedside cabinets and the bed. The furniture was worn and chipped, and the windows were in poor repair. Also there was no tea and coffee facilities in the room. However, the room was clean and warm.
The bathroom was very small and in poor condition. There were chipped tiles, old tap fixtures still coming out of the wall above the bath, mould and a bad smell in the evenings. We were very disappointed to see the Jacuzzi did not work, we mentioned this to the reception on the first night but nothing was done or no apology was made.
All in all an average hotel which is not worthy of it's 4 stars, would not stay here again if we were to return to Rome in future, Good value for money and great location.
