Hotel Hiberia - Rome

8.8

My stay at Hotel Hyberia was nothing less than what I expected. The staff was very kind. The room was clean. The price was appropriate for this kind of hotel

7.9

Quite good. Warm welcome. Had a spacious,nice and clean family room for 4. Good bathroom with sort of jacuzzi and nice shower. Central location, very convenient for many sights. Not really quiet as busy road nearby. Capricious airconditioning. All in all good value for money.

8.4

Nous avions une chambre sur cour intérieure... c'est mieux car sinon la rue est assez bruyante.

7.5

We were very pleased with our stay at the Hiberia. It is on quite a busy road but we were on the 3rd floor and, even though at the front of the hotel, the traffic noise did not bother us. We chose a superior room which was quite spacious by Rome standards, and were very comfortable, though it would have been a little crowded had the double sofa bed been pulled out as a bed. The bathroom was lovely as ws the jacuzzi bath, when we could get it to work. Breakfast was fine, with a good selection of cereals, breads and included cheeses, and cold meats. Scrambled eggs, bacon and sausages were also available - but this is not the full English! There were machines for tea and coffee but we discovered the lady at the bar will make proper coffee if asked. Much better. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Location was great for the Colosseum and the Forums but possibly as a consequence there were not many restaurants close by. The best we found was the Trattoria Melo, on the steps leading down towards Trajan's column. A good experience and would stay there again.

8.0

This hotel is only a few minutes walk to the Coliseum and I would definitely stay there again. The staff is friendly and try their best to help in any way. The rooms were clean, but I'm not sure there's hope of a quiet area anywhere in Rome. Highly recommend this hotel! But be warned that although the hotel is air conditioned, they have to switch of the heating first, so an unexpected warm spring night will mean you are spending the night in an un-airconditioned hotel.

9.5

We travelled in a group of 8 family/friends and everyone loved the breakfasts!

8.6

Hotels in central Rome are all expensive - this one seems to offer decent VFM. Fairly easy walking distance of the forums area and many other major sights. Even the Vatican was only 45 mins walk. Hotel breakfasts were good enough - just ask the staff at the bar for a fresh coffee rather than drinking the stuff from the machine. Some decent restaurants nearby if you can't be bothered walking too far - try the one in the alleyway behind the hotel or one of the ones on via della Pilotta.

7.9

Good hotel, good location, within easy walking distance of all main attractions. The room was excellent, cleaned every day to a good standard with fresh towels, and the jacuzzi shower was fantastic. Breakfast was more than adequate. Staff welcoming and spoke good English. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Rome.

3.0

Disappointed by this hotel. Great location and relatively good value for central Rome but we were very cramped in the 'de luxe' family room on the top floor. So-called 'jaccuzzi' bath floated out bits of black film when my son used it and he ended up bathing in dirty water. The old cage style lift broke down during our stay and the walk up steep stairs to the top was far too much for my young kids. Breakfast was one of the worst I've had in a hotel - foul tasting 'orange juice', dry breads, tepid water for tea, vending machine coffee. Booked through Venere but they managed to add an extra 60 euros to my bill at the end - only after I'd paid on credit card did I query the bill and they refunded it in cash. The site is narrow so there is no proper central area to sit. I usually like small old hotels but I found this one charmless - and actually terribly touristy. I think for a family room in central Rome at a reasonable price on might do better staying in an apartment. The best thing was the very central location.

9.9

Ignore the hotel stay moaners!! This hotel is just ideal for short stay holidays in Rome. Central, comfortable, and clean and very close to the main attractions. The breakfast offering was very good indeed. The staff spoke excellent English and nothing was too much trouble. This will definitely be our first choice should we return to Rome.

7.8

the location is perfect, the hotel is quite good and good price. The breakfast is modest, served in a poor and noisy room

8.6

The location of this hotel is excellant. It centrally located to all the attractions. The staff spoke very good english and was very helpful. Ask for a room in the back of the hotel. You will have a beautiful view of the rooftops of Rome. The only downside of the hotel was the shower stall. There was no base in the floor to contain the water and with nothing more than a shower curtain to pull around the shower area, water got all over the bathroom floor. Otherwise, we were very pleased with this hotel.

8.7

Rooms were small as expected. Price through Venere was very good. The elevator is a real antique but worked well. Breakfast, while nothing special, did have scrambled eggs, sausage and bacon (limp) on the buffet. Front desk personnel were very helpful and arranged tours as well transportation to the airport. Location is great. Easy walking distance to main attractions such as Trevi Fountain and Colosseum.

7.5

Good room quality, good breakfast. Competent and service oriented employees. Prices still too high, even for low-season fare. Prices displayed in rooms: up to EUR 300,00 !

1.2

We were 4 people for a business trip. The room where I stayed was too cold and heating didn't work. Towels were not clean. There were somebody's hair on the towels and sheets. Other room where my fried stayed was too small. I will never stay again in that Hotel again and I do not recommend it to any one.

2.7

Don't be surprised if you see the memories of the previous guests on your pillow or towels. Complaining won't help, nobody cares!

7.5

3 couples had 3 very different quality of room although all were supposedly 'superior' for which we paid extra. Bar and lounge areas were very poor, in terms of capacity. Hotel was very well situated within easy walking distance of many attractions - this is probably why it seemed overpriced for the overall quality.

6.7

well sited hotel within 5 minutes walk of trevi fountain and restaurants.an updated old building with some private appartments leading off the central staircase. has a quirky old lift shaft with lovely encircling marble staircase. we had a suite comprising 2 bedrooms , bathroom, entrance hall and veranda. the view was toward the quirinale palace. efficient staff v clean rooms. breakfast buffet slightly disappointing but wide range of food available.small entrance lobby and bar-a place more to sleep and breakfast rather than hang out! my only problem was our whirpool bath didnt whirl to the disappointment of my daughter despite my request for its repair. i would recommend this hotel to my friends and would stay again

7.5

very nice location, safe and well positionned

7.8

The hotel staff was friendly and responsive to guest needs. The good and bad points of this hotel stem from its location. The location is good for walking, public transport, and access to many of the business and tourist attractions of Rome. However, the hotel is on a steep hill and on a main road (via XXIV Maggio). There is continuous traffic and traffic noise as vehicles ascend the hill under full power. Therefore, the location is very noisy. Also, the sloping site gives rise to grade changes within the hotel. There are no ramps to move luggage. I would not recommed this hotel to anyone with physical limitations. Internet communications were not good at this location.

5.7

This property has a good location near the Forum and walking from the train staion is possible, although pretty hot on the August day we did it. The welcome from the staff was good and a bellmen took our bags to the room via the antique elevator. The room was hot. Even though the A/C was running, it never really cooled down until our third night. The bellman showed us the jacuzzi shower with pride. The shower is a piece of junk. The bathroom could have accomadated a large shower or bathe but instead had a small corner shower that just never seemed to work. Without touching it it would go from hot to cold or even stop. That said, the staff was extremely helpful and spoke English without any problems. They gave us info on buses, restaurants, taxis, etc. It is sad that the quality of facilities will not allow me to return because we really liked the location and the staff.

9.8

Lovely, little place with welcoming staff, clean well kept rooms and nice breakfast offerings. Close to attractions and some intersting unexpected things such as an area of Indian restaurants (who would imagine this in Rome?. All-in-all we had a nice stay and would recommend the place.

9.8

The Hiberia was excellent. We were at the end of our rope by the time we arrived and the desk clerk got our room ready early so we could go on up. They were very friendly and helpful our entire stay. The breakfast was very good. The elevator was like something out of a old movie but worked fine. In fact it really added to the atmosphere. The rooms were very nice.

7.9

The Hotel Hiberia provides what it should as a three star hotel: great location (for families short walk to forum and other highlights, while being in a nice area), very clean rooms, good sound proofing. My greatest disappointment was the breakfast. There was ample food, but the kitchen staff seemed to top up old food with new, eg the tinned fruit was sour, the milk was a bit off. When they ran short of crockery, we observed them just rinsing the cups and plates under the tap, rather than going through a full washing process. It put us off more than a bit!!! I think the staff are slack, and this could be fixed,

8.8

Very spacious quad room. The elevator is a little scary. Great location, you could walk to most sights.

8.8

We had a great stay. Accommodation was very central and handy to the bus tourist bus where you could hop on and off to see the various sites. The restaurant attached to the hotel was OK breakfasts were good but the dinner was average. It was better to dine out. Great accommodation for 4 people. We will stay again when next in Rome.

9.7

Great location, close to some very nice small restraurants. Would stay there again. Warning, you are about 5 blocks from the train station. The taxi we got charge us 50 euros for the 5 of us and we could have walked to the hotel in 20 minutes. Bus stop to Vatican right across from the hotel, beware of the bus police. We were not aware that you had to use the ticket machine on the bus and we got fined 50 euro for that. Hotel itself and location are great. You are withing walking distance to the Colosium and many other places.

8.4

Quad Deluxe Room was larger than expected and larger than similar property you'd find in New York City. Beds were rock hard and Queen is 2 twins pushed together. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was generally good and includes hot foods such as scambled eggs, ham, bacon, salami, and a hot dog type meat. 5 minute walk to Trevi Fountain, 10 minute walk to Piazza Venezia (bus area), 15 minute walk to Spanish Steps or Termini Station, half and hour to Campo Di Fiore or Piazza Navona. Probably most safe location in Rome as just 1 block from Presedential Palace (Quirinale Palace).

7.5

Customer Service at it's best! Friendly staff. All Front Desk Personnel spoke English, which was so helpful. Very accommodating. Hotel is attached to a lovely little restaurant where we received a complimentary breakfast each morning. Small Bar in the Lobby and one computer for internet connection. I believe all rooms are internet ready as well if you have a laptop. Hotel is in a great location. Just a short walk from the Roman Forum, Colliseum, etc. Only negative would be the rooms are very small for the price. Would definitely recommend.

6.7

It was a first time I/we stayed at Hotel Hibernia, which I have choosen based on my surfing on the web, through ViaMichelin ... My main criterion was the proximity of the most famous monuments and sites, which the hotel almost perfectly satisfied. I could imagine a lower price, but it seems the accomodation in the (historical) centre of Rome is not a cheap one (at least according to surfed web pages of various hotels and other facilities ...). To sum up, it seems to me it was a good choice if the first target of a visitor in Rome is a good location and the price is less restrictive factor. In any case, also thank to the possibility to reach all we wanted to see by walking (we even walked to Via Appia Antica - as that day there was a running Sunday in Rome, without any bus being easily reachable ...) we have had a very pleasant stay in Rome

8.9

On paying the bill, the hotel tried to charge more for the room. It seemed common that the hotel were making errors on bills. Other than that the room (deluxe) was fantastic and I would stay again.

8.8

Hotel Hiberia was excellent for our British/American family of four. We would definitely stay here on another trip to Rome. The location is great -- about a 15-20 walk to the Colosseum; and also about a 15 minute walk (or less) to Trevi Fountain. We thought the rooms were a very good size, especially for a European city. Our quad room for family of four was great, with kids in a separate room. Staff were very friendly. There was a problem on our first night since the quad room wasn't ready due to an ill guest not leaving as scheduled. The hotel had to put us in two double rooms for the first night, but they were very apologetic and efficient at making sure our luggage was moved the other day. There was some noise in the rooms from street traffic, but it was minimal and to be expected in a city. The restaurant attached to the hotel served a very good breakfast buffet including cereal and eggs/bacon in addition to pastries. Dinner at the restaurant was ok, but we much preferred finding out of the way trattoria's with more atmosphere.

9.8

We are a family of 4 and stayed in a quad room at the Hotel Hiberia - it was PERFECT! The room was comfortable, the location of the hotel fantastic and all the employees were welcoming and accomodating. We walked pretty much everywhere except for taking the local bus to St. Peter's (which the desk clerk explained for us!) The breakfast buffet was abundant and very good and we also utilized their shuttle service to and from the airport (DEFINTELY use this!) We would HIGHLY recommend the Hotel Hiberia!

9.6

As a group of four in one room, everything was highly satisfactory, minus the beds that were rockhard. The front desk was incredibly helpful. The hotel was a short 5 minute stroll to the Trevi Fountain and 10 minute walk from the Colosseum. There excellent restaurants very close by.

8.2

Hotel Hiberia is ideally situated in the heart of Rome - yet, staying in a room at the back of the hotel, we could sleep with the window open, it was so quiet! All the great sites, churches, museums and old town are within walking distance. The hotel restaurant is also reasonable and has good food. And the staff were most friendly and courteous. I highly recommend it.

9.7

5-star tremendous location with 3-star prices. 1. Perfect base from which to see Rome: this Hotel (or its immediate neighbors) is the right spot. 2. Great staff -- very upbeat and helpful. 3. Low prices. 4. Overweight people should be wary of the small elevators.

9.8

Breakfast was not easy to get. Never had it during our stay. Hotel location is excellent, near the fountain of Trevi & Roman Forum. Rooms were very clean. Bathroom was just enough, and accomodating. Would stay here again.

7.9

very convenient location, close to Quirinale Palace and Museum, in the very center of Rome. narrow hotel hall, wide and nice room. bathroom with spa, but not working. I asked all day long internet connection in my room, with no success. brekfast so and so.

9.2

We had a lovely 2 night stay. The hotel was as discribed on the web. It is very clean and the staff very helpfull. It is within walking distance of most of the main tourist sites. I would syay there again.

7.5

Room was better than expected, but unfortunately we found it too hot. Breakfast was not so good.

7.6

Location is excellent. You are really within walking distance of all major attractions. Room lacks facilities for preparing coffee and tea. We had booked a quadruple room, but it was quite small.

9.4

We had a great stay at hotel Hiberia. We were welcomed warmly by the staff and management. Both helped us out when the night before our departure our kids locked all our belongings in the room safe. No problem they took care of it, even though management was out. They also aranged transfer to the airport at the last minute. We (my husband, self and 2, 4 y/o's) stayed in a standard quad room. I would definately upgrad if we were four adults or larger children. It was a little tight for 5 days, but we managed fine. The room was clean, I wouldn't say pristine but we had no problem with it. The location was fantastic! Close to everything (forum, coloseum and the hop on hop off bus stops). The restaraunt was nothing great. We ordered to take to our room, the pizza was good Lasagna OK. There is a great "snack shop" across the street with great food - inexpensive. We went their almost daily for soda, water, wine and snacks. Friendly people. The best thing about the hotel is the location, the worst was the morning coffee and juice next door. I mean this was the absolute worst coffee I have ever had in my life. No problem though down around the corner was a great cafe with awsome coffe and taramisu, not a bad way to start the day.

8.4

This is the hotel i would use again well located really nice. All in all very pleased

9.1

The staff could not have been more welcoming and the value for money when you look at the excellent location was fantastic. Only 10 mins stroll to Colloseum, Trevi Fountain and Station Termini.

8.2

Great location, wonderful stay!

8.4

After many Venere booings with no real complaints we are making our first comment because we were Very pleased with the Hiberia.Position was great for Sight seeing,room very comfortable, breakfast more than adeqate and staff helpful and friendly.

6.5

We were very lucky to find a parking spot in the busy street, opposite of the hotel, for the one night stay.My room was cramped, the bathroom being located across the coridor. Not good for this room price.

9.5

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the Hiberia. The staff was most professional and very helpful, especially Paolo and Damiano. They assisted us quite extensively coordinating with the airlines to find and recover our lost luggage. The accomodations provided were as advertised. The Quad Deluxe Room was a little tight for a family of four, but was considerably large as per European standards. We enjoyed the convience of being picked up at the airport by the shuttle, as well as the breakfast spread provided daily. The hotel is very conviently located to all the attractions. We would definitely consider the Hiberia for future stays in Rome.

8.8

I add my voice to those who are generally very pleased with the value and cleanliness of the hotel. The rooms are not all equally sized or appointed (as one sould expect from a small midtown hotel, but we asked for and were given without hesitation a room large enough for us and our cruise luggage). Staff is friendly, English spoken at the front desk very well, location is fantastic to the Coliseum, Trevi, Pantheon, and Spanish steps (short bus ride to the Vatican), hotel is clean, breakfast okay, bathroom facilities different (but clean) to me (shower pad) and I would recommend easily this hotel for someone on a budget. It is a good value and pleasant place to stay. Abruzzi Restaurant about ten minutes away (toward Pantheon) fantastic local tratoria.

8.2

great hotel,staff friendly,value for money,would definitely stay here again.
