“Great location - remarkably bad hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 February 2011
4
people found this review helpful

The good first - fantastic location, couldn't ask for better. Awesome rooftop with spectacular views - it was fine to take your own bottle of wine up there and take it all in. Breakfast was no frills, but acceptable.

The rest....my mum and i stayed for five nights in the middle of a very hot summer. Our room was tiny as it was lodged in behind the elevators - so we had the pleasure of listening to the elevators going all night. Worst of all was the heat - our airconditioner did not work - it just blew out room temperature air....after reporting this repeatedly to reception for two days, we gave up and just asked that a fan be provided in the room. The receptionist told us each morning the same thing - that there was no chance to change rooms, he was sorry that the aircon didn't work, and that he would organize a fan. One never materialized. On the last night, the electricity went out across the whole hotel, and we had to lay damp towels across the pillow to keep cool - as my mum is in her seventies, none of this was acceptable. This would be what i expect from a guesthouse in a developing country, not a hotel in a developed one.
The tiny room (we had to squeeze sideways past the foot of the bed to get to the other side of the room), miniscule bathroom, noise from the street and elevator - i can tolerate all this easily, but not the absence of an airconditioner AND fan in the midst of summer, despite repeated requests for either relegates this to one of the worst hotels i've ever stayed at. It was a good lesson though - don't pay everything up front when you book online!

“Not a 4star hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The only good about thiw hotel is teh location. In the herat of Rome,just a few minutes walking from the most important monuments.

The hotel does not deserve its 4 stars. Its a 2 star hotel...The furniture and the carpet are from Nero's era. The room had a disgusting smell of dirty due to the old and filthy carpet. When we first got into,we found a pair of socks from the previous guest and when my husband throw by mistake a ciagerete behind the bed,they didnt took it until the time we left the room.... The bathroom was quite good,bad there was mould on the top...and I saw some ants and two other insects in it. The hot water took a long time to come also,and there wasn't a regular douche with cable but there was one douche on the ceiling which made it too dificult for a woman to be washed...

The most exasparating from all about this hotel,is that although we stayed there 5 nights,they didnt changed sheets at all!!! This is unbelievable for a 4 stars hotel.

Another very annoynig thing is that it hasn't pugging at all. As it is in a very central road,the noise from the cars was very annoying...

The breakfast was the only good surprise in this hotel. It was a very rich bufet...

I think it did't deserve the 105 euros we payed per night and there are better hotels in Rome to stay in.

“Wonderfull weekend at Pace Helvezia”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2011

My husband and I stayed 2 nights at hotel Pace Helvezia. We definately gives it 5 stars. We stayed in a lovely and quiert room on the 5.th. floor with a huge balcony and great view. Receptionstaff very polite and helpful. Hotel very clean and located just in the middle of everything. Of course there are traffic outside the hotel - come on your are in the middle of a rather big city - what do you expect.

“never again to this hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We went for a few days in Rome and we were so excited to get here and visit such a fantastic city. Our joy fade away when we dealt with this hotel which was not at all a 4 star hotel!!! actually,we were wondering how it received this grade? i would appreciate it more like a 3- star hotel. Firstly the room was dirty, it seem that the chambermaid cleans it very superficially because everything was dusty: the windows, the heaters, the walls, the hairdryer was black instead of white...etc the furniture is old the tv small and very old with little variety of channels and the sofas very dirty even at the reception. I traveled a lot but i must confess i haven't faced this kind of problems anywhere neither in the 3 stars hotels!! i had a permanently sensation of dirtiness and i was disgusted thinking when these things were cleaned the last time?!
We complained at the reception about all these things, they said they will provide more cleaning but the things didn;t change! The staff is not very friendly and not carrying!
Secondly, the elevators are so small that u can't fit in with the luggage.
The hotel doesn't have facillities only the basic, the only good things is that is located in the center of Rome and u can't bring ur pet in.
The location is very good as u are 3 min walking of fontana di trevi or 5 min piazza venezia and all the other things are close.
The breakfast is ok but not fantastic.
Finally, I feel sorry to say that i wouldn't return to the same hotel under any circumstance! I wouldn't recommend it to anybody unless u don't care about all the things i mentioned above!

“A Great Base Camp - no Luxery”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 November 2010
2
people found this review helpful

Hotel

Location – Great – I saw so many times the Fontana di Trevi… (every day) - Colisium – 15 mints walking
Breakfast – simple, not so many choices there.
Elevators - Can they make it even smaller???
Room – Between 2 elevatior’s on the 5th floor – no noise , due to winter time, the room smell like mold. Simple and basic – no more no less.
Reception – normal
Bar – I saw one… was it working

Tips – restaurant – when you leave the hotel turn left , and left again, and on your way down, there is a good value for money restaurant- before the Pub.
