Hotel Zone - Rome

servizio ottimo hotel molto confortevole, a parte l'infelice scelta del pavimento in legno nei corridoi che disturba moltissimo. prezzo conveniente se acquistato in rete 70 euro veramente uno dei pochi hotel che merita le stelle assegnate.

6.8

The hotel shuttle was not hourly.It went three times per morning only and was constantly full.It booked up so quickly we were disappointed several times.It had to be booked at least 24 hours in advance and only held 8 people.This was inconvenient as the hotel is so far from city center.Breakfast was good;the woman who managed the breakfast room was wonderful.I asked for a wake up call for one morning:it never came.The staff does not seem to like tourists;I loved my beautiful room but I did not feel welcome.

8.4

Breakfast offered a wide range (Not that poor that some guidebooks of Italy describe). The shuttlebus at 9:00AM was constant overbooked so that we could not take them. Needs to be booked at the morning the day before.

9.6

very nice, clean hotel.comfortable quiet room.very good breakfast (all types of hot drinks, juices,cheese,salami,eggs,jam, nutella,joghurt,bread,bakery,corn flakes,compot, tartes)served from 6 to 10:30 am. Shuttle bus every 90 min,should reserve as soon as u arrive for ur whole stay, stopping at piazza cavour,it takes 30 min in this journey, and returning from the same place.otherwise u can take bus 990 from piazza cavour till balduina station,and then walk for about 8 min, last bus at 11 pm. Transportation in italy is cheap, ticket for 1€ valid for 75 min in bus,metro and rapid train(FM). the hotel offers free map of Italy, better than the map we bought from Germany.

6.1

The hotel is far off the beaten path which I knew going in. They do have free parking which is a plus in Rome. There are however two 990 bus lines coming back. If you are not careful you can get on the wrong one and not go by the hotel. The other thing to watch out for here as well as in other hotels in Europe is when you check out they charge your credit card in dollars at a much higher exchange rate than normal and then claim they have no choice over the matter nor do they know how to reverse the charge. To be safe just pay in cash. Breakfast is nothing to write home about.

5.2

Location was good for our needs. It was very warm in the room and being on the ground floor the window was sealed shut. We were told because it was February, no air conditioning was available. It made for very uncomfortable sleeping.

5.9

Room was very smokey, staff did not agree to move. A long ways from tourist Rome. Minimal instructions and assistance in transport; shuttle didn't run, bus service intermittent. Not a good choice for tourists unless you want to spend a lot of time and money on transport. Barring smokey room, facilities were nice.

6.4

Location worked great for me, as I could park for free in the hotel garage and take a bus (just two blocks away) to city center. Front desk was very competent showing me how to get to city center, however a/c was out of order and I had to insist over and over that it be serviced (not much diligence there). very nice breakfast.Room was a bit tiny.

9.0

Incredible excellent price/quality relationship for Rome. We choosed Zone because we had to participate in a scientific meeting in Policlinico Gemelli: it is 5 minutes walk from hotel to balduina railway station and then 5 minutes by train to Gemelli (trains every 15 minutes). Taxi to the city centre: about 13 euros.

8.3

Quite a distance from the city center, but well worth the spending.

6.0

Very difficult to find it, specially because there are no signals on the surroundings. We arrived with GPS system and, also was totally difficult to find it because there it was no coincidence with the GPS and the real address.

8.8

Is not true that Vaticano belongs a 30 minutes walk and the shuttle service is not frequent (90 minutes), is only for 8 people and stops at 18.30 so as the hotel has no restaurant and there are non reastaurants also in the surround, you must move with car or taxi for dinner. But for other apects the relationship between price and quality is excellent

un'ottima accoglienza in un'ottima struttura

La stanza che mi hanno assegnato era fantastica!!! L'albergo è in una zona centrale e l'ultima volta ho pagato di più per dormire a Ciampino!

Viaggio di piacere. Stanza Matrimoniale.

9.8

Great hotel, very friendly staff. Thanks to all there. cheers Dave

7.2

We really enjoyed our stay, but it would be very helpful to add some information, how to get there more easily. There is a bus 990, which is nearby the hotel. Going there via metro and train is more difficult, at least in the evning hours.

8.3

Nuestra visita a Roma comenzó un domingo 23 de sept. LLegamos por la tarde y nos atendió un recepcionista muy amable hablando español, nos ayudó en todo y ademas nos dió tickets para el autobus público, puesto que en domingo no había forma de adquirirlos. El hotel esta muy bien en relación calidad -precio. Muy tranquilo y apartado del bullicio del centro. Cerquita hay un restaurante muy apañado, pedir consejo en recepción para cenar... .

4.4

We had booked 3 double rooms and a triple. 2 of the double rooms were adequate and the triple was excellant. However the third double room was unacceptable - it was a single room (and clearly marked in your booking system as such) but with a make-shift double bed put in it. It was far too small for two people - the bed touched 2 walls and it was not possible to walk around the other sides of it, or to open the fridge. The air conditioning was inadequate. We believe this mis-selling of rooms to be illegal. When we complained we were told it would not be possible to move to another room until the following day. The next day we were given an alternative room, but I still consider the service we recieved unacceptable. We are considering reporting your practices to the Italian tourist authorities and the Rome city police.

8.3

Location hidden in a labyrinth of streets, so there should be signs indicating direction in the surroundings. Travellers should be patient to find the way to the hotel.

9.6

Our first experience of Rome and we were extremely impressed. Hotel very comfortable and welcoming - no complaints. We would certainly return and choose to stay at Zone.

8.5

1-poor breakfast. 2-no map where the hotel is marked on.dificult to get directly to the hotel.

7.2

i found the zone a quiet comfortable place to stay, but venere had it 2km from termini, railway station, but in fact it is about 10 - 12 kms from the station or about17 to 20 euros in taxi. i found it too much hassle to get there by public transport, especially for the first day. overall the hotel we quite enjoyed. if you dont want to pay excessive prices for coffee, just down the road from ¨zone¨ was art cafe, cheap good coffee, and cake or roll.

5.2

Safe and Quiet location, clean room. Cold attitude, terrible terrible breakfast! Charge 8 Euro for an hour for internet. Far from City center, need to catch bus then transfer tube( arround 1 hour including waiting for bus).

7.4

hotel was 20 kilometers out of city not 2 kilometers

8.2

The only comment I have is that we ordered on sundaymorning two taxi's for mondaymorning 6.30 am to bring us to Termini station because we had to take the Shuttle bus to the airport but on mondaymorning the taxi's were not present. The reception had to called again for the taxi's so we were a little bit late at Termini station

8.4

Bustranfer without charge from the hotel to Piazza Cavour from 8.00 in the morning till 6.00 in the evening. You can reach hotel with bus 990 from Piazza Cavour or taxi (10 Euro) - near Vatikan

6.8

We were very disappointed by the welcoming and especially the noise in the hotel. Internet connection is a good point but it's too much expensive (2.5 euros for 15 mn) The breakfast was good The special bus of the hotel is a good point too. The hotel is a little bit far from downtown (45 mn with bus)

8.4

Das Hotel entsprach unseren Vorstellungen. Für Autoreisende ideal, da das Auto in der Tiefgarage abgestellt werden kann. Die drei Tage haben wir Rom mit Bus und Metro erkundet. Dazu muss man wissen, dass das Hotel recht abgelegen ist, mit dem Bus aber gut erreichbar (ca. 1/2 h bis zum Vatikan). Die Zimmer sind sauber und zweckmässig eingerichtet. Es hat alles mit den Beschreibungen übereingestimnmt.

9.4

great room with fantastic beds ;-) !!!!

9.1

This hotel is located at the end of a dark, quiet residential street in suburban Rome and quite a distance from the historic centre. Free shuttle service offered though. The room was nice, but service was "all business", unlike what you'd get at a smaller, family ru hotel. Booking online was a great idea. Posted prices were significantly higher than what we paid through venere.com.

8.0

Un po' fuori mano, ma rapporto qualità prezzo soddisfacente.

9.7

The hotel was clean and modern. The staff helpful and friendly. The only crticism was the breakfast room where there could have been one extra member of staff to deal with the customers requests, instead of being searched out in the back room to resupply the food or craockery.

8.1

El hotel esta muy bien. Nos ha gustado mucho, muy bien situado en una zona tranquila y además bien comunicado con el autobus y el servicio de lanzadera al centro de la ciudad. El hotel esta realmente bien y merece la pena estar alli para ver Roma y alrededores. La gente muy simpatica pero el desayuno un poco escaso para el hotel que es, el desayuno debe mejorar.

9.6

This hotel is an excellent option in Rome. Service, rooms, and location are excellent. You can easily reach the hotel by bus, and the staff is very kindly.

5.8

Poor directions. If you are driving to the hotel be sure to call in advance and ask for better directions that the ones posted in the website. No air conditioning. In one room it was not working at all and in the second one it was so low that it didn't cool at all. Apart from these two "mishaps" the hotel is OK, very good quality for the price and good breakfast too.

6.7

Hotel bar = poor Aircondition too noisy = poor Variety of breakfast = poor (all days the same...)

8.1

The hotel staff and accommodations were very nice. The breakfast was generous. The location was a bit off the beaten path which provided the quiet I enjoy. Public transit to and from the city was easy to access. Overall I had a very pleasant stay and would recommend this hotel to my friends.

9.0

One wouldn't expect to find a hotel of this quality at this price in Rome,but here it is! The hotel offers a free bus service to the City Centre and if you want to stay late,a frequent service bus drops you 5minutes walk from the hotel. I thoroughly recommend Zone for an inexpensive stay in Rome!

9.4

Shuttle bus service is very comfortable. The rooms are clean and look as in the internet shown. The time of the breakfast service is from 6.30 - 10.00. The location of the hotel is not in the centre of rom, so it is good reachable by car (to avoid the chaotic traffic of rome). The hotel offers a park garage. The rooms and service are absolutely worth the price we paid.

9.2

This hotel is excellent value and far better than a 3 star in most respects. The only real disadvantage is its location, which is a bit out of town, but once you find out where it is and how to get there, it isn't too much of a problem. The hotel runs a shuttle-bus during the day but it only seats 8 so you need to make sure that you book it well in advance.

9.5

excellent hotel! Its great to rest in such comfortable beds after an exhausting day in Rome. Its a pitty we had to book the shuttle far in advance to get to the Vatican, but the railway station was a very good option too.

9.4

Wir waren vom 6.6.2005 bis 9.6.2005 im Zone Hotel. Für 65€ für 2 Personen pro Nacht findet man unserer Meinung nichts besseres in Rom. Sehr ruhige Lage außerhalb des Zentrums. Sehr nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal, für italienische Verhältnisse reichhaltiges Frühstück. Bustransfer zur Piazza Cavour, die im Stadtzentrum liegt. Von dort aus erreicht man alle Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuss. Angekommen sind wir auf dem Flughafen Ciampino. Von dortaus fährt man mit einem Shuttle-Bus bis zur Haltestelle der Metro. Aussteigen kann man dann am Hauptbahnhof (Termini). Von dortaus verkehren Busse ins Stadtzentrum und zur Plaza Cavour. Alternativ kann man aber auch mit dem Schnellzug von Ciampino fahren, dieses geht a) schneller als die Metro und b) sind die Fahrgäste Vertrauenswürdiger ;). Haltestelle ist auch hier Termini und dann weiter mit dem Bus. Alles im allen ein sehr gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und empfehlen daher jeden das Zone. Für weitere Fragen stehe ich gerne zur Verfügung!

9.8

Perfetto è un ottimo Hotel. Leggermente distante dal centro ma in 30 min. di autobus si raggiunge il vaticano. Da sconsigliare a persone anziane per il tragitto da fare a piedi dalla fermata dell autobus all Hotel di circa 500 mt.

9.8

This is a very nice hotel and excellent value for money. Rome is expensive for accommodation and the Zone hotel offers very competitive prices and although it is a little bit away from the main touristy area, the hotel's shuttle bus and local public transport mean it is not isolated and the centre is easily accessible. I would definitely stay there again.

9.5

What is the point of commenting if my last two detailed reviews were not posted?

7.4

The hotel itself was very nice, but we had a very difficult time finding the place. It's very far from the train station and after taking the bus you have to walk in alot more.

9.6

Ein sehr gutes Hotel, das ich jederzeit weiterempfehlen würde. Dass es etwas außerhalb liegt, ist dank des Hotel Shuttles (vorherige Anmeldung erforderlich, da nur 8 Plätze zur Verfügung stehen!) und der nahen Bushaltestelle der Öffies und der sehr günstigen Preise für die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel kein Problem.

9.4

It was a lovely hotel with excellant service and the price was fantastic - especially considering what they offered. The shuttle-bus was helpful although it may benefit from running later in the evening. The hotel is a little too far out of the city which is a shame as otherwise it would be perfect however their are good bus links. I think the only thing the staff could do to improve their service is know the bus times and be able to direct customers to the bus stop clearly. Other than that they were very very helpful and nice! I plan to return to the hotel on my next visit!

9.6

We have been positively surprised with the quality and services of the Zone-hotel for the price offered: very clean room with a fridge and free safe (!), good breakfast, friendly service and the hourly shuttle bus (!)to the city. Our stay in Rome was therefore just perfect. We would surely come again and recommend it to everyone.
