This hotel is not much more than adequate. One of the bedroom reading lights was broken and when reported was never fixed. The bathroom was tacky with a sink plug that did not function; the place lacked TLC. The staff were polite and breakfast was quite ample. The location is good for the north part of Rome where the olympic stadium is located.

We would both like to thank you for your excellent service, & good humour during our stay at the Hotel Farnesina. We would also like you to pass our best wishes to all the staff for their help & for the "forte Cappucinne" at collezione (breakfast)..... This was the second time in the past four years we have stayed at your hotel because of the area (Ponte Milvio), but mainly because of the positive & friendly people. Its also great to have a laugh as we all need more humour in our life....



If either of you were to visit Australia we would welcome you in our home.



Thank you again

Best Wishes to you & your families

The hotel is located in a nice area of the city, about a 10 - 15 euro taxi ride to the center of Rome. The rooms were "Italian average", which means small, reasonably clean, w/ tiny bars of soap. There was an elevator which was nice. If you like soccer the hotel is near the stadium. If you don't like soccer crowds, don't plan on walking outside the night of a game. My major complaint about the hotel is that I asked them to call a taxi to take me to the airport. Their "taxi" was a limo service, not a real taxi. While the hotel said the trip would cost about 40 euros, once inside the care the driver said 55 euros, fixed. About 15 minutes into the trip to the airport, on the highway, with a fair amount of traffic, the driver started texting continuously. I asked him to stop, and was sworn at up and down, and even threatened that "Americans like me disappear in Italy". It was very upsetting. I found out later the hotel contracted with the limo service, and I obviously can't help wonder if the limo service was connected with organized crime. No company name on the receipt! I wouldn't stay there again.

Ideal location for visitors to tennis in Rome or the Olympic stadium, just a ten minute walk away.
Excellent market couple of minutes walk at the end of the road, pity hotel did not shop there in the morning to provide some fresh fruit for breakfast.
Hot drinks are from a machine DIY style, have a black coffee topped up with hot milk rather than go for cappucino which was too sweet.
Roof terrace for breakfast very pleasant.
Staff on reception desk all very helpful.
Rooms smallish but clean and bathrooms look newly done.
Bus to Vatican less than 1 euro and very frequent.
If taking taxi flag down on street its less half price the price rather than letting reception call one for you. 30euros to Trastevere at 7.30pm only 13 euros to get back at half past midnight!
Overall great position for going to the Rome Open Tennis
