“Staff was fantastic -- rooms a whole other story”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2010

My friends and I stayed here for two nights in September and it is a dump. The room had mold on the wall- YES mold. The manager had not idea or at least played like he had no idea what mold was. The beds were like sleeping on a pew at the vatican. The best thing was the friendly staff in the AM, willing to give directions and help us with our Italian. Oh forgot to mention it took us 3 hours to find the place. It is inside and apartment building. Not even the police knew where this place was.

“Bring a plunger for Roma dei "Poopa"”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2010

Good central physical location, very small rooms, bare amenities, extremely tight eating area – 8 people max. Cappuccino great! Staff very friendly – Irena, Franchesco, Hugo.

Air conditioning fair to poor - one room worked well, other room was terrible – had staff adjust several times, still much hotter than other room. Helped to open windows to get breeze, not safe at night.

Room was very clean, booked two triple rooms – got two twins and folding bed – barely enough room to walk around – NO dressers. Limited place to store clothes – small wardrobe. Views of alley or street.

For a couple of nights, location may be worth it, but make sure you test everything and don’t be surprised about “additional” invoices/charges or threats to call the police as normal maintenance. Due to the frustration and threats – I would not recommend any American to stay there with your family – maybe by yourself or a couple.

Breakfast was a couple of pastries, slices of salami or ham and orange or apple juice.

Close to Vatican, Castle St. Angel and Piazza Navonna. Lots of noisy construction nearby, not so much a hotel as a collection of rooms (about 7) in a three apartment building complex. Graffitti prevalent.

Room walls marked up and chipped.

Toilet got plugged (confirmed normal usage), Hotel manager blamed my family, charged $150 EU and threatend to call police if we didn't pay (not pleasant at all).

“A horrible experience”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 May 2010

What a horrible experience! The hotel is small, rooms are small, the beds are way to hard. We booked the hotel for 5 nights and after 2 nights we wanted to check out. Our room was 102, next to the reception (as almost all rooms) and breakfast room. The breakfest is very poor, the coffee machine makes so much noise that you wake up at 7 and during the night every customer has to ring the doorbell twice to get into the hotel. Every night we woke up 6-7 times, it was horrible. When we asked to check out and gave the list of complaints we where threathend by the police if we didnt pay for 5 nights. I never experienced domething like this in my whole life! We checkout, payed 5 nights and stayed 2 nights in another hotel to get some sleep after 3 sleepless nights. I would never ever advise someone to stay in this hotel.

“a disappointment”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2009

There were just too many problems with this place. The room was tiny, and no matter what we did, we couldn't seem to get rid of the mosquitoes. We had problems coming and going, since there are two different "checkpoints" you have to cross to get into the hotel - which is more like someone's apartment. (They have to buzz you in every time.) The staff was unhelpful, they acted like their guests were a nuisance, and they treated the one woman who works for them pretty poorly as well. We couldn't get the "free Wi-Fi" to work in the room, only in the reception lobby, and cell phone service didn't work in the room at all. Our room was in a corridor just behind reception, and the walls were so thin we could hear everyone coming and going all night. The room smelled horrible. The breakfast was stale. It's also not a very good neighborhood for dining, we had to do some serious walking to find a meal. There is a grocery store on the corner, but when you're traveling, that can be a pain. Given the exorbitant prices they charge and the poor quality overall, I would not recommend this place.

“Very disappointing...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2009

This is not really a hotel, but pretends to be one. We reserved a triple room but got a double room with an uncomfortable portable bed added. The room is too small and noisy. The bathroom is tiny. The sinks don't drain. Some fixtures have no light bulbs. There is no lobby to speak of. The breakfast room is tiny with plastic tables and chairs. The staff is nice but they can't do much. The only positive attribute of this hotel is its location. It's a ripoff for its price even in Rome.
