We are a family of 4, we checked into Hotel Sunset Roma for 4 nights at the Suite on L1. On the day of the arrival, there was a confusion about our booking and no one was avaliable at the counter (we rarely see anybody at the counter through out our stay) - we had to stand at the lobby for 30 minutes before they sort it out. But that was just the beginning.
Our hotel room was broken into the last night of our stay. We lost 2 laptops, cash in our wallets ($2000) and my PASSPORT. The fishy part is that no doors or windows were broken. Hotel rooms use electronic access cards to go in, there are only 3 cards avaliable - we had 2 and the owner had the other one. We requested to see the survaliance camera video but was denied by the owner Andrea - as he claimed that the footage was stored with the survaliance company and he was not authorized to show it to us. We reported the case to local police and was told that there was NO video avaliable as the survaliance camera was BROKEN for awhile! After this happen, Andrea informed us that his hotel is fully booked for the next couple days so we are on our own - eventhough this took place in his hotel, eventhough we have no money, no passport - we are on our own.
I do not want to get into the details what happened afterwards. I just want to say this has been the worst experience I've ever had. Completely ruined my family vacatino and our memory of Rome. I would avoid this hotel at all cost. STAY AWAY!

We are terribly sorry, in ten years of our own this is the first time that it has been happened. Police Inspector confirmed our structure is situated in a very safe place in Rome. Police Patrol after to carry out investigations, has found to be guilty the new cleaning lady straight after removed from Sunset. However we are glad the Police found and got back the loot the day after the theft. We are very sorry about wrong news written on the reviewed: from Police Report dollars stolen were 1.200 not 2.000. The Clients got compensation from Sunset because we were not been payed for all the amount of their stay. From the day of their arrival Clients got a very considerable for reservation upgrade, because of our problem of extraordinary maintenance and the day of departure we found them a convenient accomodation for extra stay.
