I stayed here with a group during a tour through Italy. I was nervous about staying here after seeing the reviews but hotel choice was out of my control. We had a suite that fit 3 people. It was very large and the maid provided extra towels and soaps knowing that there were 3 people staying in the room. Our room's air conditioning was not that good so our room stayed pretty warm throughout our stay. I saw other rooms that people in our group were staying in and they were ok. They were smaller but overall not that bad. I do not suggest eating at the hotel. As mentioned in previous reviews, the staff is not the friendliest and they don't look happy with their job. The food at the hotel was ok. The breakfast was very light as most Italian breakfasts are. The hotel is not in a convienient location to downtown Rome, but since we were with a group and we had a bus we could live with it. The pool area is very nice. There were lots of chairs and they had a bar. The only downside is that you have to use the towels from your room. Many of the other reviews say that there is lots of mold, however I did not see mold anywhere during our stay. The wi-fi is free but it only really works well in the lobby. Overall, this hotel was pretty good. I wouldn't stay here again unless I was with a group.

this was without a doubt the worst hotel we have ever stayed at , thay moaned at us for staying too long !!! the receptionist was v rude .the room had non of the advertised facilities ?? it was dirty grubby & 30 years out of date .the reception constantly told us we should think are self lucky to stay there at th price we paid. pluses it as a swimming pool my advise stay somewhere else .a treck to city centre

The Summit Hotel is very inconvenient if you want to travel to the center of the city. To get to the Spanish Steps, we needed to take a bus and transfer to a Metro A line. And to travel to the Vatican, we needed to take yet another mode of transportation, which was a train and it was not the metro.

The Hotel is on top of a hill requiring a good 8-10 minute walk from the hotel to the main road which means if you walk down, you must also walk up after a full day of walking.

Then, to top it off, the hotel itself is old, smelly, and full of mold. The elevator did not work so we had to drag our baggage up the stairs to get to the floor. The stairwell walls were very dirty, scuzzy, and carpeting was very warn out. Once we got to our floor, the carpeting which was attached to the lower portion of the wall, was falling off. Then, we entered the room and what a surprise. The shower area was full of mold everywhere. I was very concerned with what I saw. Although, the ratings are different in Italy than in the US, it deserved maybe a 1 if even that. The TV did not have any english speaking channels and had access to maybe 3 channels. Unfortunately, we did not have access to the news.

The shower was situated in such a way that it was difficult to get into and out of the stall. Had to raise legs at least 2 feet in order to get in. It would be very difficult for an elderly person to get in and out.

The food was also bad -- but because it was a tour we did not have choices of dishes we were being served. Either way, the staff serving the food was not very pleasant, and we were always waiting for them to bring out coffee, which we had to serve ourselves anyway.

To sum it up -- it is inconvenient, lacks personality or old style charm that I have seen in Rome on previous trips, and they really need to get rid of the mold.

Everything is terrible about this hotel. Stay away from it! Location is awful. You have to walk to the station for about 15 minutes then you have to get 247 bus to the metro station!! If you miss the bus wait 45 minutes! Or train it is all same..And the staff is worst then terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
