My friend and I booked a superior cabin for three nights here to start our Italian adventure. At first we were worried about the location and getting to and from the city but it was relatively easy. There is a supermarket across the road, a tour desk inside the grounds, a ticket machine for bus/train tickets, but best of all for us, it was quiet in our part of the camp...

Rooms are much bigger then hotel rooms in the city, our room came with a bath, typically in the city you get a tiny tiny room with a very small shower. plenty of parking for coaches and cars, the route you drive by car to the central Rome easy, cost parking in Rome not expensive compared to parking in the city in UK. Staff helpful. If you want in your room a kettle, cu...

Midas Hotel is Perfect for a ‘City Break’ if combined with some “rest days” (we booked 6 days) But note if going to Rome for a short weekend I would suggest an alternative hotel in the city centre within walking distance of all the sights. GOOD POINTS: * Great hotel. * Nice swimming pool & sunbathing area. * Reasonable buffet breakfast (book B&B is best) * Only 20 min...

This hotel was not the best, but considering how expensive most hotels in Rome are - especially when paying in U.S. dollars - it was alright. The location wasn't too near all of the sights, but it was really close to a bus stop with a lot of public (and cheap) buses...and so that was very helpful. Also, our room was very clean and nice...it just didn't have a good vi...

My wife, my step son and I stayed in this look more like a school or campus type of hotel for 2 nights and we both love this place very much . We booked this hotel in advanced and the rate was quite reasonable. This hotel offer the continental type of breakfast and the food is sufficient and with variety of bred, fruit, and all other deserts. For the money that we pay ...

A great place to stay in Roma. The staff is very nice. The A/C was defective and they decided to upgrade our room without any charge. The carpet would need a little refresh, but besides that, the place is tidy clean. The Vatican is a 30-minute walk from the hotel. There is also a bus stop right in front of the hotel's gate. You can leave your car at the hotel for free....

This hotel is situated quite far away from any of the main attractions in Rome but that didn't bother us as we like a stroll in the morning. It's about 15 mins walk away to the metro station (the hotel does have a shuttle service to the metro station although we didn't use it) and about 20 mins on the metro to get to some of the main sites. The hotel was very clean an...

This hotel is simply brilliant. It's a little way out of the city centre but this is no problem at all...in fact, it's probably better than trying to stay right in the centre. Especially if you're driving. This hotel has ample free parking and they provide a regular shuttle into the city centre for €2.00. Even if you end up taking a taxi, a trip to the city centre is o...

I got the last room with the discounted price, which was reasonable to stay for one day. Receptionists were kind, room seemed clean but there were a few aunts. Overall, quiet and good place to chill but it's far from the city center so you need to take bus all the way there.

I stayed at this hotel with my husband and 2-year-old son in mid August. The place was good with friendly & helpful hosts. It was a 3-5 min walk to shops, supermarkets and metro station. There's also a bus stop just outside the apartment which has a bus that could take us straight to the city centre (Piazza Venezia) in about 30min. Hence, it's very convenient staying h...

Hotel Aurelius was probably the best thing that happened to us in Europe. The staffs were out of the world with their professionalism and help, and the hotel itself was perfect in everyway imaginable. To be honest, when I was looking for a hotel in Rome, I was slightly skeptical about Hotel Aurelius given that we were not really a fan of its traditional design seen in ...

The hotel is in a funky type style. The staff are friendly although maybe a bit laid back, but that is on par for Italy. Nice little bar near reception and the restaurant. The fixed menu at the reception was not to popular. The hot food(pizza d pasta) was Luke warm to cold, when we ate. The rooms are clean and in good condition. The beds are comfy and the shower was st...

When we got there, we had to wait 15-20 minutes for this lady (who also lives at this place) to show up. She was perhaps one of the rudest people I have ever met, and talked down to me and all of my friends as if we were little children. The "breakfast" is a gross cold croissant, instant coffee, and yogurt. There is also an extremely limited amount of hot water, and yo...

My boyfriend and I had the most amazing stay at Domus Casaletto! We had the triple room with a balcony. It was spacious, beautiful and newly furnished. Don't be freaked out when you arrive at a block of flats, the apartment is absolutely stunning inside!
