We stayed there for only 2 nights but have nothing bad to say about the hotel. It is a 3 star hotel so you cannot really expect too much of luxury but was very nice and clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was cozy and had everything we needed even though the internet did not work but we didn't spend much time at the hotel anyway. Our bed was more than comfortable though!! Few minutes down the road (there is short cut ) to San Pietro train station and not more than half an hour walk to Vatican city! There are also number of buses which go to central of Rome. Can only recommend and would definitely go back!!!!

I loved staying at the Alessandrino Hotel. The front desk is staffed by accommodating and well-informed employees who are ready to help guests with directions, restaurant suggestions, etc. I needed to make contact with a Roman archaeologist, and Georgio made the phone call for me, negotiated the introductions (my Italian is not ready for a quick phone conversation), and later asked about how things had turned out.

I loved breakfast at the Alessandrino. The breakfast room is lovely, or you can eat outside al fresco on the patio. The selection of food includes both hot (bacon and eggs) and cold items (cereal, yogurt, fruit, juices), as well as fresh breads and pastries. This is all included in the price of the room.

The building is charming, well-maintained and clean, and it is pleasantly tucked away from the noise and crowds of the city. The rooms have wonderful large windows on vertical hinges that can be opened for a delightful breeze, or closed if you prefer the air conditioning. I stayed for ten days in July, and even though the heat in the city during the day was grueling, there was always a pleasant breeze in my room in the evening (I needed the air conditioning only on the last night I was there).

On Via Monte del Gallo (the street that leads from the hotel to everywhere else) includes a very adequate small grocery and a friendly coffee bar. From the San Pietro train station, a larger Carrefour supermarket is just a 3 minute walk (this place is visible from the bus stop at the San Pietro station.

I was in Rome to do research at the American Academy library, so I wanted a hotel near the Janiculum hill. I look forward to staying at the Alessandrino the next time I am in Rome, whether to study or to play. It was a great comfort to know that after a long hot day in the library or in the forum I could look forward to going back to the quiet comfort of the Alessandrino.



It should be said that a taxi or car is the only sensible way to arrive or depart from this hotel (unless you are young and in good shape). The hotel is located at the end of a side street, about a block from a bus stop and three blocks from the San Pietro train station. Without luggage, the walk to and from the train station is easy and pleasant. The 64 bus departs every 5 minutes from the San Pietro train station, and finishes at the Termini train station--so on it you can get just about anywhere in Rome with only one change. Or you can take a train from the San Pietro station (this is a regional train, not a Metro stop), and go to Termini as well as several other destinations.

Good value in walking distance to public transport, Vatican city, etc. Little bit difficuilt to find it but Rome is confusing citi at all. Room was clean and comfortable.

the hotel was walking distance to vatican/st. peters square ,hotel situated in residential area rooms needs updating the hotel was no generator on our second day i woke up around 4am freezing cold no heating no light very dark in my room no emergency light used my mobile as my torch i went to reception did inquire what happen the the male staff who was in the reception doesnt speak english only the hotel was the one no electric we are not informed whats going on instead we are going out early for the day
it was delayed we cannot have a bath theres no hot water. the breakfast was not good and the lady on the restaurant was rud we already starting eating our breakfast in the table and she did ask us to be move to other table i did ask she just ignored me didnt give any reason.
one night when i arrive on my room the door was open i did complain this to the reception why my room was left opened he just ignored me. just reminder dont leave any valuables inside your room as they dont lock it after cleaners tidy your room. bring torch in case it will happen again its unsafe to walk in the dark.
when we arrive at the hotel the lady on the reception was very helpful she speaks english and she gave us a map as our guide.
