"mafia-guy" on reception
very old furniture and rooms

My husband and I with two friends booked the Hotel Romulus ,I knew it was a short distance from central Rome , it was stated on the web site, after booking I looked on trip advisor, I was horrified at a lot of the reviews, I would still have to pay if I cancelled. On arrival we thought we were at the wrong hotel,true it is on a busy road but most hotels are, it was very clean , smart , very attentive staff and a very clean bedroom en-suite. We had a meal in the restaurant , a bit falty towerish but the food was good , it was exceptionally busy as the buses were on strike for the day. Breakfast was exactly what we were hoping for , fresh couissants, coffee , fresh juices , many other things should you want them. Prositutes were a long way from the hotel and certainly a very sad sight , , we were not affected in any way only to feel sympathy.I never saw any condoms , maybe some people spend their holiday looking for them!!! Hotel Romulus is an inexspensive Hotel and you get what they state.I am so sorry that people find it nessesary to write such bad reviews

I stayed with my family for 2 nights - yes, it's little out of central Rome but you can see that from the map. The bus took about 20 minutes to get into Rome - the hour by someone is exaggerated. Prostitutes? Show me a city in where ther are none - they added colour to the industrial place where hotel is situated.

As for the hotel - clean and efficient. Lionel was always very helpful. He even ordered food for us from locally late in the evening!!

Ok, you may not like the furnishings and fittings but for the price it was very good. The bedding was clean and smelt fresh - the staff were helpful for extra towels/shampoo etc.

The breakfast was great - the kids loved it.

Great hotel for the price - will stay again - no complaints. Well done.

Prostitution at the surroundings and rough places just nearby.
Very cheap looking hotel with fake quality elements applied to a horrible kind of office block and antique exterior looking / rococo interior style of poor quality fabric.
Haughty welcome.
Awful comfort of the bed, we couldn't even sink into the bed as it was as hard as a table : lying on my back, my back hurt. Lying on my stomach, my knees hurt.
Terrible isolation, awoken at 7am by people chatting in the other rooms, heard like if they were in ours.
Atrocious breakfast with very poor quality food for this hotel star rating.
What a shame!

Prostitution dans les environs et coupe-gorges dans les villes à proximité immédiate.
Hôtel faisant très "cheap" avec des décos cache misère sur un simili ancien immeuble de bureau très moche. Interieur rococo de piètre qualité sentant la contrefaçon ou la fabrication à bas coût.
Accueil hautain.
Lit au confort abominable, tellement dur qu'on ne s'enfonçait pas du tout dedans. Allongés sur le dos nous avions mal au dos, allongés sur le ventre nous avions mal aux genoux!!Isolation affreuse, réveillés à 7h du matin par d'autres personnes discutant dans les chambres voisines, qu'on entendait comme si elles étaient avec nous dans la même pièce.
Petit déjeuner ignoble avec de la viennoiserie et autres choses tout industriel de qualité premier prix, indigne d'un hôtel 3 ou 4 étoiles.
Quelle honte!
