We spent two weeks in Rome and stayed in three hotels. Hotel Kent was much nicer even than the 4-star-200-Euro-per-night-Hotel close to the glamourous via Veneto. The staff was very friendly and helpful, room was clean and with reasonable comfort. Typical Italian breakfast, that means very basic, but absolutely ok. We liked the area around the hotel and we went back a couple of times because its a nice location with few tourists, nice shops and authentic roman nightlive. Nevertheless, it is close enough to explore the center.

Small hotel, overpriced for the amenities provided (maybe it is the real estate), located close to Porta Pia a transport hub. Hotel switches off airconditioning many times a day claiming either housekeeping is being done or temperatures are falling. Resident comfort be damned. Not even drinking glasses provided in the rooms.

Only one reception staff (Mr. Valentino) was a helpful person. The breakfast was very basic and was served by the surliest, most offensive waitress I have ever encountered.

Choose to stay here only if nothing else works out.

Nice, small hotel, situated in a rather quiet part of Rome, close to the Museum of Contemporary art, and not far from Villa Borghese. Lots of restaurants with reasonable prices and good food close by. Not a very touristy neighbourhood. A bit off from the central parts of Rome, but there's a bus stop and a metro close by, so reaching the centre of Rome is no problem. The rooms are not very big but very adequate size to a European city. Clean rooms, beds made up every day. Free Wifi, working nicely. Aircondition a bit weak, but working even in the hot Rome summer. Breakfast in the breakfast room, nice staff serving cappucinos, juices, croissants, toasts, and youghurts. The staff is very helpful with everything, one didn't speak English but used Google translate in a very efficient way :) I would definetely stay here again.

This was probably the most basic hotel I've ever stayed in. I travel alone a lot and the room here made me feel very lonely and nervous. There was A/C, but it didn't seem to cool the room down too much. There was a small tv and free wireless internet - which is always nice! Breakfast is served in a nice little room, which was nicely sunlit in the summer. Again, very basic. But yummy and just enough to get you started. It's across the street from the modern art museum. I didn't visit it, but quite convenient for those with an interest. It's about a 10 minute walk to the metro, which isn't too bad. Romans have a completely different sense of time though.

Overall, the hotel is perfectly fine if you're traveling with others or aren't spending much time in the room. The staff is great - very friendly and helpful!
