Nice Hotel, near to the station, everything with venere.com by internet was perfect!

The hotel is ok if you are looking for a hotel close to the metro and train station. It is just 5 minutes walk. The side of the room was ok and the bathroom were clean.

A Roma per affari ho trovato comoda la posizione vicino alla stazione Termini. L'hotel è molto spartano e l'apparenza è più bassa delle sue tre stelle, però la stanza era pulita e il personale cordiale. L'ho scelto perchè non ho trovato niente di meglio nel rapporto prezzo/qualità, in zona.

Hello Friends ! That was my first experience visiting Rome and it was absolutely great. I had comfortable moment staying at the Igea Hotel. I like the aura when entering its lobby. The staffs are very friendly and helpful. I stayed at room 604. Nice hotel for staying in Rome. I would recommend this hotel to all guests of Rome ! and I definitely stay there whenever I come back to Rome. :D

Third trip to Rome, third different hotel. This hotel was very clean, staff friendly, and the hotel itself is two blocks from the main train and bus station (Rome Termini). Easy walks to all the big tourist sites. Two blocks from a metro stop that will take you to the Vatican. Outside noise was minimal to non-existent. Depart the hotel, turn left, and walk down the street about 500 yards and there is an inexpensive, very good eating establishment with tables inside and outside. I will stay in this hotel any time I return to Rome if it is available.

Pretty nice hotel, nothing special, conveniently located next to the central train station. Very small room but clean, everything was in order, decent pricing. Will definitely consider returning.

The shower was VERY small. I would have rated this hotel better if the older thin man at the counter would be less terrible. The lady in the breakfast area wasn't much better. However, Antiono was fantastic, the ladies were OK and the bald older man was nice. REPEAT....THE SHOWERS WERE SMALL.....& they need to remove the thin older man who enjoys being mean. Very nice cleaning staff. The location was great to Termini Train station. My dates of stay were 9-20-07 until 10-02-07...I got to this late...sorry

The Igea is a very central, clean and nice Hotel. To the station "Termini" you have 2 minutes to go. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and nice, but very clairaudient. The breakfast was a bit meagre! There was no bread, only zwieback and sweet pastries. But when I come back to Rome sometimes, I'm sure, that I'll book this hotel again.

I would like to draw your attention to the very poor standard of Hotel Igea. It is supposed to be a 3-star hotel, but really, by any standards, it doesn't deserve a single star. The furniture is amazingly poor and old, 2 small beds instead of a double bed (for a double room paid 140 EUR), a shaky cupboard, of course no safe, the bathroom is really apalling: the shower corner is so small that a normal person (60 kg) can hardly enter it and move inside it. It is not bigger than 2m x 2m, including sink and toilet. An incredible experience, we changed hotels after 2 nights (we would have changed earlier if we hadn't an early trip on the 2nd morning). Thank you for the survey. Best regards, EZ

I have stayed in several hotels around the Termini over the years and the Igea ranks up there in this price range. Very polite and helpful employees, bright and clean breakfast room, spacious and comfortable room...I will stay there again and recommend it to friends.

Practical, safe and clean hotel, on the "better side" of Stazione Termini and closer to centre. Good choice if just overnighting comming/departing from airport/train. Fast and efficient check-in /out. Choice of restaurants, services, internet, etc nearby. A dignified building, rooms are immaculate, but small. Space for improvement in lighting and decoration. Bathrooms are renovated with all the facilities and the smallest shower cabinet ever seen. Air conditioning alla italiana (maximun speed/cool is just a fresh breeze) and works all day, unlike some hotels which disconnect it during the night or add surcharge. Public areas are pleasently furnished and decorated. Lift stops in a mezzanine between floors, so you have a choice of going up or down. Not very convenient with heavy suitcases or for disabled, old people. OK for one or two nights, would not stay here for a whole week. Slightly overpriced.

First room, cramped, no chairs, battered walls. Only 1 person could fit in the bathroom. Second room slightly better. We stayed one night and cancelled the other 4N. My wife made the mistake of using an extra juice glass at the continental breadfast and heard about it from the waiter. Hotel Contilia just down the street much better and a better price,130E/N

All important historical sights are in a range of 15-20 min walk. 5 min to metro / bus / train. Would book this hotel again.

The hotel is at a convenient location where it is close to the train station. There are good restaurants around, as well as internet cafes, cash machines etc. The shower in my room is not that good, and the mattress is too old, and I could feel the bumpiness. One hotel staff was not very friendly when serving breakfast.

140 Euro a notte per un albergo del genere è un FURTO!!!!!! Mai più 140 Euro for this hotel is a fraud! Never more with Venere.com

The location of this hotel was quite convenient to the train station. There were three very good and reasonably priced restaurants in the neighborhood. The room we had was very quiet and quite comfortable. The price was reasonable. We spent eight nights at this hotel. The staff was consistently courteous and helpful, providing us with useful information about public transportation and making reservations for us at the Borghese Villa. We found this to be on the better hotels we stayed at while spending a month in Italy.

They could not find my reservation in the first place! but luckily had other available rooms. The staff are very friendly and the location is so handy. Overall, highly recommended if you aim to discover Rome and only spend minimal time indoors.

We would recommend this hotel to friends. It is convenient to the train station and in walking distance to Coloseum, Roman Forum, Panthenon, Spanish Steps etc. Staff was friendly, gave us a map with sites marked. Didn't speak much English, but we managed. The breakfast area was nice. Food was ok, cereal, packaged pastries, juice and good coffee.

This was my first time to Rome and the hotel was very clean and basic but it was too far from the centre of things. Its in an excellent location for the train station but coupled with this there are a lot of vagrants hanging around. The hotel has a ringing noise at the front door everytime you enter and this gets very annoying at night when trying to sleep.

Ugly room and hotel. Plus: close to Termini, so convenient if just stopping over. This is not a very nice neighborhood so for longer stays - avoid.

Hotel sympa, pas trop cher et qui vous permet d'avoir accés rapidement aux 2 (et uniques)lignes de métros de rome, aux terminus de nombreux bus et de la gare de Termini à moins de 5 minutes à pied. Le rapport qulité prix est très bon avec un personnel, qui même si il ne pratique pas la langue de Molière, est fort sympathique et compétent. De plus la chambre est disponible à partir de 11h00, ce qui permet de prendre rapidement une douche après une nuit dans le train couchette !

The hotel is easy to find, according to map from Venere.com. The nightclerk was all other than serviceminded, the rest of the staff friendly enough. The room was small but clean. The bathroom was microscopic, the shower in particular. The breakfastlounge was the best we have experienced in Rome (4th time), and the waiter was very friendly. The hotel is situated somewhat far from the major attractions in Rome, and the neighbourhood is not too pretty. The restaurant across the street serves good authentic Roman food; recommended.

A very impersonal staff, a very limited choice of breakfast food. I don't reccomend this hotel if you're looking for a comfortable stay. On the other hand if you're looking for a small, clean hotel with a good relationship price/quality you'll like this hotel that is located in the centre of Rome, near the train station.

Location is very ideal for tourists, very near to public transport system. Hotel was clean, breakfast very good. Only two remarks, the toilet is really tiny,had no hand shower and second, no service to keep luggage once the room is checked out. I had to keep it in the lobby without any responsibility from hotel management. It is better to charge a small fee for this service and keep in the lobby under the responsibility of the reception. For tourists, it will be a great relief. Overall I enjoyed the stay very much and is recommending to others. Good value for money.

The room was adequate, clean, and in the back of the building (no street noise!). It was air conditioned, however the in-cieling unit was VERY noisy and I had to use earplugs on the second and third nights to sleep in comfort. The hotel is only three blocks from Termini station, and when we couldn't walk to our destination within the city (which was rare), we hopped on the train easily and quickly.

The hotel does not have internet connection in any of his rooms, whereas in the venere website they claim to have the internet facility. The welcome in the breakfast room in the morning is not excellent due to the rough attitude of the waiter.

The Hotel was exactly what we needed we had a double bedroom the shower was a little bit small but over all the room was off good size and the all of the amenities we needed we didn't go to breakfast so I cant comment on that but all in all the hotel was really good for us 5 mins form the main station a 15-20 mins walk to trevi fountain and the staff were always very helpful especially if we were asking for directions and a few nice cheaper little restaurants very near by and the surrounding area waa fine we didnt have any problems walking back late at night. would definatly stay there again.

A good hotel in central Rome with all needed facilities. Our only objection is the quality of the bread. How can Italians serve old or factory produced bread in plastic for breakfast?

Especially in the morning it was very noisy because the charwomen worked very noisy in the other rooms. The room itself was very quiet since the window was to the courtyard. I can not recommend the breakfast in the hotel.

The room was a decent price and clean, the location was ok (by the train station), it was just a plain, standard room, no frills. Laundromat across the street, which is a plus.

The staff at the Igea were extremely nice and welcoming. They were more than happy to assist you. The rooms were nice as well. The only issue was noise. The building is older and the sound proofing not the best. However, the wonderful staff as well as the rest of the accomodations more than compensated for this minor item.

very god breakfast (for Italian standards), employees very friendly except for owner (who appears rather lofty to the customers)
