Hotel Italia - Rome

8.2

This hotel had a central location at a very good price. Within walking distance of the main railway station as well as most historic attractions.

3.9

I stayed there for three nights, I found the staff very helpful. They recommended the Roma pass which was a very good idea for me, they were friendly and helpful. On the other hand, I think the price was way too high for the room I had. It was very small, not very clean and I did not fit in the shower cubicle. Also I find paying an extra 10 Euros a night for air conditioning plus the price of the room utterly ridiculous.

8.1

Good value for the money. Some rooms are more spacious than others but in general very small. Clean rooms and bathroom. One of the few hotels in Italy with free wireless internet. The staff was extremely helpful. The location is very convenient, close to Termini and it is very easy to take buses to go around the city.

9.1

The staff at HOTEL ITALIA is the best staff in Europe! They are so accommodating and pleasant and beyond competent. The only thing we didn't LOVE this time was the room. It was a bit smaller than last year and the air conditioning wasn't as cold AND the toilet and shower made horrifically loud noises. But we would stay at HOTEL ITALIA again--even in the same room--because we really feel at home there!

7.5

Friendly staff. Small but clean rooms. Good location nearby railway station, colosseum, fontana di trevi and spanish steps. Breakfast was good.

9.8

great location, great service, clean room. would definately use this hotel again when in rome.

4.9

Just correct according to the price. Very small and noisy rooms. The big surprise was that the rooms were in a batiment on the other side of the road, 2nd floor, and we had to pay to use the lift !

8.1

i would love to see hotels with fridges and coffee and tea making facilities. the cost of food is so high in europe that having no fridges etc means we must pay for every cup of coffee (except breakfast) and every morsel of food we eat, can't even store sandwich facilities with no fridge, this makes it very hard to be able to afford to come back

9.7

Wonderful hotel. We were traveling with a party of six and had requested 2 rooms but were pleasantly surprised on our arrival to be upgraded to a huge apartment (at the same price) so we could all stay together. Staff was very helpful.

8.8

We loved staying at Hotel Italia as it was very conveniently located. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was great. We took a quad room. The staff even held our bags for us when we visited Venice for 2 nights.The only downside I can think of is the bathroom was very cramped and the water would come out of the shower onto the floor!

8.8

Great location, quiet street, great breakfast including pastries and cappacino, free internet, helpful staff. Quad room was good. Extra charge for aircon but still great value especially with the breakfast they provide.

9.9

Nous avons été pleinement satisfaits par l'accueil absolument adorable, la situation de l'hôtel idéale puisque nous avons tout pu faire à pied, et les petits déjeuners qui comportaient un choix énorme et de très bonne qualité! Nous rêvons d'y retourner!!!!

9.0

We were very happy with the Hotel Italia. For a short stay in Rome it is quite good. We were travelling with two small boys and the hotel was more than accomodating. The family room was a bit cramped as in order to fit four of us they simply took a triple room and added another single bed. But, for one night it was fine. If you need it, the receptionist spoke perfect English. The breakfast was to a high standard as well, with multiple selections of breads and meats. The location is OK. Termini is easily walkable. You can also walk to the Coloseum and the Forum quite easily and thus, the Capitoline. Old Rome and the Vatican are a taxi or underground ride away. This hotel was very good value for money and would stay there again on a short stay.

2.9

l'lbergo è modesto, e questo lo sapevo (due stelle) ma è anche deprimente, certe camere sono addirittura sordide e il personale, soprattutto la reception, poco servizievole e mancante di gentilezza, cosa rara in Italia in tutte le categorie di alberghi. L'impressione generale è stata molto negativa.

0.0

J'avais réservé l'hôtel à cause de la présence de Wi Fi. L'accès à l'une des deux chambres était SORDIDE (un balcon sur une cour malpropre). A nos protestations l'employée de la réception a opposé une attitude hostile et mal polie. Nous avons quitté l'hôtel immédiatement en payant la totalité du prix (5 nuits). Nous sommes allées, sans réservation à l'excellent hôtel Helvetia

I wish all European employees of small basic hotels went to the same training school as maybe the ones at the "Itlia" have been to. From the reception staff, chambermaids, lady who does the breakfast. They are excellent. Nothing seems too much trouble for any of them. It was my second stay at this hotel 3 years apart, it has improved in service, and although as a single traveller I only ever get a small room everything else makes up for it.

6.1

This is a great part of the city to be in. The air conditioning cost an extra 10 Euros a night and was necessary. The shower head would not stay in the correct place and even though this was mentioned nothing was done about it. One of the staff was excellent and booked museum trips etc, at no extra cost. The breakfast was average.

8.9

Hotel Italia is conveniently located since it's just a 10 min walk to the Stazione Termini and buses are also available just across the street. The hotel is also in walking distance to many of Ancient Rome's famous attractions such as the Colosseo, the Foro, Fontana di Trevi and others. The staff is courteous and very helpful with any information or service needed. A communication plus is that there is free internet service. The breakfast room is small but very elegant and the hotel staff is very attentive. Breakfast is good with a variety of croissants, cheeses, cereals, and yogurts. The hotel is located on the second floor but there is an elevator so there is no stress with luggage. Since there is so much to see in Rome the best part is feeling safe even when walking around late at night. Oh, don't forget to get a gelato when you visit the Fontana di Trevi. If in Rome again, I'd certainly choose this hotel.

9.5

Everything about this hotel was great. We traveled with our 10yr son, so we did not expect spaciousness in the room. Location was great, staff was wonderful and everyone spoke english (our Italian was limited to I'd like beer/wine).

10

The stay in the hotel was excellent. All staff was very friendly and provided all the information requested. It was very convenient that they offered internet at request. The hotel is very well located, close to different attractions of the city, buses, railroad station, shopping in Via Nazionale, etc. Their breakfast was abundant and very well served.

7.6

Good hotel, good staff.

9.1

We were delighted with the Italia. It was clean, comfortable and welcoming.The room was pleasant and the breakfast was excellent. The location was very good for the train station and within easy walking distance of the Colosseum.

8.1

WE HAD A SMALL DOUBLE ROOM WITH A VERY SMALL BATHROOM, THE EMPLOYEES ARE CHARMING AND THE LOCATION OF THE HOTEL IS FANTASTIC, YOU CAN GO TO ANY PLACE OF INTEREST IN 10/15 MINUTES WALKING.

9.3

We were upgraded for no extra charge, beautiful room, brilliant location, central to all Rome has to offer, can walk to train station.

7.6

Perfect, if you want to visit Rome and to be near of all monuments is a good place.

7.2

Room a bit small, but comfortable. Extractor in bathroom very noisy and took a long time to turn off, but this was remedied by just turning on the lights over the sink. Friendly staff and breakfast is fine. Could hear the other rooms, but this is an old palazzo - we wouldn't expect anything else really!

10

A wonderful base from which to explore Rome. Staff friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming; rooms spacious, clean and airy. The breakfast was plentiful and the breakfast room light and airy. Give Hotel Italia a try-you will love it!

7.6

Just an overnight in Rome, we found the hotel to be very clean tidy and within easy walk to the rail station. This was important for us because we were arriving one day and leaving early the next and needed to be close to the station. The hotel was quiet and exactly as stated in the advertizing. Our only complaint was that we had an internal room and it was very stuffy. The window opened to an internal courtyard that was a service courtyard so there was no fresh air when we opened the window. There was an airconditioner available but we were there in May and it was obviously not in use. Bathroom was tiny and the shower only just fit a medium sized man, but I found it OK. Otherwise very clean and well run hotel.

8.3

Although the rooms are quite small the staff at the hotel are friendly and extremely helpful. They couldn't do enough for you. The breakfast was plentiful and good. I would recommend this hotel if you wanted a no frills city centre location within walking distance of most attractions.

9.6

Excellent location, good price. Internet acess free for clients Bathroom too small.

9.7

This is a great value for price bargen with a very eager to help staff. The staff located for me a product I looked for in Rome and could not find (electronic dictionary). Attention to special needs (soy based cappucino made with soy mily I brough from the store) Easy access to all attractions. Comfortable bad. Free internet (most other hotels we visited in Italy asked 2-3 euros for 30 minutes). It is definitly our hotel in Rome.

7.7

Location is good for Termini railway station, though it can be difficult to find without a good map. On a small side-street off the Via Nazionale however, the rooms are quiet and you still have the convenience of plenty of nearby restaurants. Have stayed in two of the triple rooms and both were quite spacious, looking freshly renovated. The bathrooms however are very small, but clean and relatively modern. The continental buffet breakfast is basic but fine. There is free internet access from a laptop in the lobby. Staff friendly. I'd certainly recommend the hotel.

6.0

Im großen und ganzen stimmte das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Als Einzelreisender wurde ich jedoch in ein Einzelzimmer (Nr.38) verfrachtet, das an einem schmutzigen Innenhof lag. Neben der Zimmertür waren Heizungsanlagen installiert, von den schmalen Zimmerfenstern ein weiterer Blick auf einen noch schmutzigeren Innenhof, von unten Küchendünste und (bei geöffnetem Fenster) sehr laute Ventilatorgeräusche. Das Zimmer selbst zwar mit kl. Bd und Dusche ausgestattet, hatte die Ausmaße einer kl. Schiffskajüte einer Fähre. Aber wie ich dem Fluchtplan des Hotels entnehmen konnte, war es wohl auch das kleinste Zimmer des Hauses. Frühstück ausreichend, wenn auch etwas einfallslos mit Wurst und Käse in Döschen bzw. Kleinstpackungen. Service jedoch freundlich und zuvorkommend. Fazit: wer nur eine Schlafgelegenheit sucht, ist wegen der überaus günstigen Lage im Stadtzentrum (fast alles zu Fuß erreichbar) hier gut aufgehoben.

8.3

4 nights stay. Small and clean hotel, very well placed in Roma specifically when you arrive in the city by train at Termini (10 minutes walk). Right on main bus lines. From previous comments on Venere, we expected small room and shower but it was not the case. We stayed accross the street (a new part of the hotel) where it seems rooms are larger than the older part of the hotel. So I was positively surprised at arrival. Only thing wrong was remote control of TV : it never worked even after reception gave us new batteries. But then, you are not in Roma to watch TV. Brekfast was fine, you have cold slice of pizza if you want. Employees are welcoming and helpfull (thanks Nadine!). Of course we were able to leave our luggage the last day before to take our train back at night.

8.4

The one window in our room looked out over a courtyard of air conditioners or other such equipment, so it was noisy having the window open. Internet access is free but they charge 1 euro per page to print, which they neglected to tell me until I had 4 pages printed. They called a driver for us on the morning of our departure who was ready and waiting to take us to the airport and got us there in good time. Cost was 50 euro.

8.1

Hotel was as described on the web site. There were double pane windows to keep street noise out, but the door and walls were not that sound proof. Fortunately most people were quiet so it wasn't too much of an issue. I was in a building across the street and 2 floors up. Might be a problem for some people. The shower was really small, there were folding glass doors and I kept hitting them when I was in the shower. I think a 6ft. tall man would find it impossible. Staff very helpful.

7.9

All the hotels in the center are expensive, so this one was quite acceptable according to the price offered. The Hotel is close to the Metro station, so it is enough to reach any destination. Finaly, if somebody is knowing that he is going to travel in Rome and needs hotel only for night, this hotel is good choice.

9.8

I stayed at Hotel Italia for about a week in April. All of the staff are incredibly helpful and kind. While I was in Rome my wallet was stolen and I also got sick - the receptionist called my room just to see how I was feeling and to see if I needed anything. She was genuinely concerned about how I was. The hotel is in a great location! It's very close to Termini Station and is easily walking distance to the Colosseum and Forum. Also, the hotel has brochures for a few tourist agencies nearby so you can book your tours. They also sell the Roma Pass which will really come in handy for your trip!

6.9

first time in rome, safe, clean and great location, good restaurants nearby. good price for this area. N.B you may be sent across the road (there is a hotel italia section at hotel picasso building). stairs only if you cant be bothered taking the tiny antique lift (costs 10 cents from the ground floor).

6.2

Rome is an expensive city so you don't expect to get too much for your money. This hotel was beautifully clean and the service excellent - it was a shame our room was quite so small and particularly that it didn't have a window to the outside.

7.8

I was in Rome with my daughter, 11 years old. The hotel is in a great position to visit Rome. It's very clean and the staff is polite. The rooms are small and a little bit noisy, but it is a good location and I recommend it.

6.6

The hotel was very well located within walking distance of Termini Station, Santa Maria Maggiore, Fontana di Trevi, Colosseo and Foro Traiano. The room and the bathroom were small and very noisy in the morning, as our room was close to the kitchen. The staff was very friendly and helpful. A little overpriced, but maybe worth it because of the good location.

8.8

The space of the room and its utility is reasonable to its 200 Euro charge per night. The hotel has free wi-fi, but only usable at lobby or breakfast room as mentioned in the website. In the quad room, the signal was too weak, but other wi-fi signal from somewhere is detectable and probably I could connect it if I accept charges. Another point I want to mention is, Pizzeria Venezzia, very good Italien dishes and awesomely adorable cat welcomes you.

6.4

The location of the hotel was very close to the train station, but the noise from the piazza was too loud. if u're looking for convenience, or if naples is a transition point for you, this hotel isn't bad.

7.4

Good location for the price, smallest shower ever, otherwise no complaints worth mentioning.

7.9

I travelled with my wife and my baby and our stay at the hotel was fine. The staff at the reception was very supportive providing all kind of information requested regarding turistic places and restaurants. The room size was bigger than expected and the only one I would remark as not comfortable is the lift. It is one of those typical old elevators with double door which requires your manul opening of both doors and besides the inside doors are opened towards into. Thus, one person with luggage is more than enought for its usage.

9.8

excellent location 15minutes walk to the coliseum all visitors sites within walking distance. All the receptionists were fluent in English, and were extremely helpful in giving directions or advising you on visitors attractions, even to the point of booking in advance to sites of interest (domus aurea) Nero's house. The breakfast was excellent, the room was quiet, clean with usual facilities. There was a laptop in the reception area, for your use. I can not praise the hotel enough. stress free Hotel. beautifully situated on the main street(via Nazionale) Irish pub, not far away, plenty of cafe` bars, restaurants. Do not really need to throw a coin in the Trevi fountain to return to Rome. This hotel makes the whole experience superb. Ps Do not forget to by your Roma Pass from reception, absolutely invaluable.

8.2

This hotel was within EASY walking distance of EVERYTHING we wanted to do, except the Vatican, which was just a short metro ride. GREAT location! The staff at reception could not have been more friendly and helpful - really fantastic. The room was very, very small, but this hotel was perfect for us!

9.9

Our rooms at te Hotel Italia were lovely, and they were even able to accomodate an early check-in. It was walking distance to many of the well-knowm sites for travelers, as well as good food, shopping, and public transportation. The staff was marvelous, personable, and very helpful. Wireless Internet available at no extra charge.

7.8

We stayed in a double room. It was quite small; there was no place to put our luggage out of the way, the shower was so small that, when I dropped the soap, I couldn't bend over to pick it up, and the elevator was barely large enough for my wife and me with our luggage. Nevertheless, the place was very clean and comfortable, the staff was helpful, and, overall, the Italia is a good budget hotel for Rome.

8.1

The only minor thing was that the breakfast room is pretty small. We had to wait half an hour to get a free table. Further the hotel was great! Nice and friendly staff.

9.9

This was my first stay in Hotel Italia, but I would definitely come back if I plan on visiting Roma again. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. The staff is wonderful, friendly, and competent, and the place is very clean - what more could you ask for!

9.6

For travellers such as myself that would prefer to spend my travel funds on things other than the hotel, yet want to respect yourself in the morning, this is the perfect place to stay in Rome.

8.5

Excellent little hotel, easy to walk from the Termini station and further to the attractions in Rome. After the initial problem of finding out how to get into the hotel (arrived late and the front door was locked) and finding the reception, we had a fantastic stay in Rome. The room was clean and OK size (hard mattress though) and the bathroom was much bigger than expected. We will definitely consider using this hotel again!

8.5

This is our second stay at the Italia. We find it a great place to stay for the money it costs. Its location is great, near to good restaurants and shops. Most of the things you want to see and do are within walking distance. The staff at the Italia are very courteous and helpful. The buffet breakfast was very nice, especially the coffee and pastries. Our only problem was with the shower, very small. However we can live with that and we hope to be back sometime next year.

6.9

La colazione è un pò scarsa non tanto per qualità ma per varietà(solo dolce). Per il resto: vicinanza al centro, pulizia, gentilezza del personale è ottimo. Una raccomandazione: vi consiglieranno di mangiare alla trattoria di fronte all'hotel, non fatelo, è orribile! solo per stranieri!

8.1

We've been here a couple of times, and its been a pleasure. It's within walking distance of the city centre, the rooms are comfortable and clean. The only fault we had on this occasion was the bathroom extractor fan came on with the light-switch and was deafening! It continued long after the light was switched off. This was remedied by turning the light over the sink on instead. A nice touch was the panetone and Baci choccies waiting for us in the room.

7.5

it was small but it was clean the bed was comfortable and it was central. if you love food go to Nino's only for locals a bit expensive next to spanish steps see the sistine chapel amazing

8.8

We found Hotel Italia warm and welcoming. The rooms are very comfortable and the breakfast area light and well appointed. The situation of the hotel is excellent, with easy access to all parts of the city.

9.7

The Hotel was highly recommended and it stood perfectly along the expectations. The quality vs price was truly excellent. Our room was small (not giving on the street) but was very quiet. We could have changed for a bigger room but did not find it necessary. The people at the front desk were extremely helpful, competent and always very nice They make you at home...The location is perfect. The fact that the hotel is on the first floor of a building is not a problem. A place to go.

9.1

Very welcoming staff and nice surroundings. I really recommend this place for a couple on a short holiday.

8.0

Travelled with wife. Room itself a bit small, but clean. Bathroom was nice size. About a 10 minute walk from Termini. Area was actually pretty nice. Walking distance to a few main attractions. Hotel is not really marked well from street. Staff was the best. Very helpful and informative. Breakfast was ok. Never as filling as American breakfast. Wait staff was very attentive. Would definately stay here again.

9.4

Fue muy buena elección, repetiríamos SIN DUDA

9.1

This is a great little hotel - not fancy but clean, friendly and comfortable. The shower doors were probably the oddest characteristic of the room -- if you are much overweight, you won't be able to get into the shower without squeezing past the doors. Otherwise, we found it a most welcoming and enjoyable hotel.

9.6

Our group of five stayed three nights in Rome and we would definitely stay at Hotel Italia again. The location was great. We could walk to almost all major historical locations. The staff, especially Sabrina and Nadine, were wonderfully helpful, as well. Just one little suggestion - the shower doors could use a tighter seal. Overall, just a wonderful stay.

5.1

The hotel is very well located specially for the restaurant and the trattoria downstairs! You can go walking to el Foro Romano. The staff was good, breakfast good, room good but the price doesnt match with the quality of the hotel but I know how difficult is to find a non-expensive/good hotel in Rome.

5.3

My room was very small and spartan, though very clean. A major concern was that the one window opened onto a hall so there was no fresh air - it was very warm. Staff were very nice and helpful. I felt it was overpriced for the standard of accomodation but my experience is that the prices in Rome are currently very inflated.

9.1

It was a small hotel but it is very nice one! It is very clean and so close to everything. Breakfast was taste especially coffee. Hotel staff was quite polite and they helped with all my problems. They have a free laptop at desk. I definetely would like to recommend this hotel to my friends.

5.5

We stayed in this Hotel for 4 days, 2 nights in a double room & 2 nights in a single room. The rooms were clean, but very small, especially when we were paying 130 eur per night for a double. The hotel is walking distance to the main station and close to all the attractions, so this is a plus for this hotel. I think this hotel charges too much for its rooms, since the rooms are small and most of the rooms have no view at all (literally) the next wall is about 10 feet away, so there is no airflow. Considering we stayed when it was hot, we were given the option to use the a/c for 10 eur per night. The staff are pretty friendly and let us store one of our bags with them for a few days.

2.2

My room was as small as a grave. Their credit card machine didn't work. The room was really warm and they tried to charge 10 euro for remote controller of air conditioner. I never stay again

9.5

Hotel staff very welcoming and helpful.

9.5

The staff was excellent - very helpful. Our room was exactly as shown in the photographs --- smallish but comfortable, very clean.

6.9

Small pokey single room with non-existant view. Fortunately, the staff were lovely and the breakfast adequate. The location is convenient for public transport and good cheap restaurants. I'd stay again if I'd a better room.

9.0

My wife and I loved this pensione. It was very close to downtown Rome. Having read other comments we were smart enough to bring earplugs as we could hear our neighbors (although they were a quiet older couple)and street noise, and the staff was welcoming, bilingual, and had excellent recommendations for restaurants and events. Overall we would rate this very highly and would definitely recommend. The continental breakfast was a little disappointing but we just slept in from then on and had a big lunch! We got directions from www.theaa.com and walked there in 10 minutes from the train station. Don't bother with a cab.

8.2

A very warm and enjoyable stay at The Hotel Italia. The staff are very Helpfull. Breakfast is basic but nothing wrong with that. If you are staying in rome for only a couple of days then you must try hotel italia.

9.3

We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel. It was very clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was better than average, was plenty to eat there and attended by a grandmotherly elderly lady. The free wireless internet service from the lobby worked well and is not common in Italy. This allowed me to make phone calls via Skype and was very nice to have. I had initially skipped this hotel because of its 2 star rating then saw it in Rick Steves book and were recommended by a friend. It is a nice clean place that is enough off the busy streets that the noise level is very tolerable. We had a little hard time initially finding the hotel. Hint: from the train station walk out the front until you come to the big fountain and traffic circle in Republicca Plazza. Cross the busy street and walk the inside of the circle next to the McDonalds. This should put you on Via Nationale which you need to walk down several streets but the hotel is on the left. This is within walking distance of the Colliseum area, and is fairly close to the Metro stop which works well to get closer to the Vatican.

5.9

The quality and price were fair considering that I wanted to stay close to the city center. I rate them low on quietness and spaciousness, but for the price and location it was fair. The only thing I would advice other travelers that may stay at Hotel Italia, is that they lock the main door at night (a good thing), and you have to get buzzed in. However, the night employee may have to watch two hotels right across the street from each other and one night he was not happy that he had to cross the street to let us in. It kind of upset me that he was rather rude about it.

7.5

The hotel was fine for the price. It wasn't in the best area, next to the train station, but it had 2 rooms for 4 people each at a decent price. It is difficult to find quad rooms in Italy. Good if you're on a budget. Quite a bit of a walk to the Leaning Tower, but do-able even with young kids.

9.0

Wonderful staff & breakfast. Good size rooms & bathroom. Very clean & very quiet although right on Via Nazionale. 24 hr pharmacy one block away (we needed it!), grocery store right across Via Nazionale. Would definitely return in a minute! This was our second trip to Rome but our first stay here.

8.7

estuvimos con mi esposa, y la atencion fue excelente. me ayudaron a recuperar mi equipaje que se habia perdido en el aeropuerto. muy cercano a los lugares de interes de Roma.

8.1

Good location and decent price. They had a laptop at the front desk they let us use for free. Our room was located above a kitchen so we heard alot of dishes clanging in the morning. Other than that it was great.

8.1

The staff was wonderful! The location was excellent. We had trouble finding it from the train station but once we found it we were fine. You may want to send directions from the train station. We ate at a place recommended a few blocks away off via nationale by Sabrina called Cafe Bosca? Bocca? It was excellent!

7.4

Can be difficult to find, and virtually inaccessible by (private) car, but it's in a quiet location in an area with good facilities and transport. Great Pizzaria (Est Est Est) in next road - get there early to avoid disappointment.

6.7

Single Room 38 : very small, yet very quiet! Bathroom & Room were absolutely clean! Air conditionning working! Breakfast is acceptable. Location is perfect, as it is at a walking distance from train station/subway station. Staff is very polite and forward coming. They offer to keep your luggage the last day of your stay. Overall, though the price/quality ratio is probably not the best in Rome, I would say that my journey at Hotel Italia was very pleasant anyway.

6.4

Good service. loudy and small room, but clean.

9.4

I will always remember the Hotel Italia as I was robbed on the Metro in Rome and lost my son's and my passport as well as my credit cards. Without the people at the Hotel Italia, I would not have known where to turn. They simply took control and made all the necessary phone calls for me, gave me maps and written directions to the police station and the Australian embassy. They could not have been more efficient or kinder and i am eternally grateful to them. The hotel itself was lovely. Quite quaint and every bit as good as it looks on the website. Rooms as usual were small but very functional, good breakfast, clean and well located for restaurants, transport and to the major monuments, basilicas and the like. I will certainly go back next time I'm in Rome and I cannot speak highly enough of the little Hotel Italia. If you're going to Rome, this is the place to stay.

9.8

The employees were excellent and we look forward to visite the hotel again. It was our first visite to Rome, but we will return.

9.9

Hotel Italia was great hotel. I especially like Sabrina's smile. She welcomed us with a smile wonderful. I want to stay by all means here next time.

9.6

We traveled to Rome as part of our 'second honeymoon' and the Italia was situated very conveniently near the main Terminni station and all of ancient Rome. Everything we needed and wanted we had.

7.0

excellent location and excellent breakfast but small rooms

9.2

Outstanding friendliness, cheerful and competent staff. Rooms always immaculately clean. Quiet backstreet but within (just about) walking distance of everywhere.

9.1

If you are accustomed to American Hotels, Rome is quite different! The Italia is a quaint little hotel in a tight little neighborhood of shops and businesses. Very convenient to the termini, easy walking distance. However, we failed to heed warnings and were ripped off for $50 Euro by an unscrupulous cab driver. They are prevalent and will try to rip you off. Be warned. The rooms were nice and comfy, though a bit rough by American Standards, but very nice by Roman Standards. Obviously for much more money, you can do better. The staff was very friendly in all cases, very helpful, and all spoke English well. There was nothing negative about our experience! The morning cappucino and pizza was great!

8.0

March 2-4, 2007: Small rooms but very clean. Well located as the Republica metro station (and Termini train station) are only 5 minutes away by foot. The hotel staff was very helpful & nice. Tip for a good dinner at a modest price: Antica Pizzeria Fratelli RICCI. This restaurant is located at 32 Via Genova street, which is parallel to the hotel street. It is by far the best restaurant we found in Rome. Web site: www.pizzeriaricci.com

7.7

The hotel overall was ok. The room was rather old but quite clean and functional. But you could hear the other guests too good - it was often loud at the floor (not from the street). The breakfast was not as good as exspected. The location area was quite good, it takes about 10 min to walk to the Forum Romanum or to the Central station.

6.5

The hotel was in a fairly central location. Not far from the Metro at Rupubblica. Bathroom was tiny. Room was ok, but only one window around the corner opening into a dirty courtyard. The window A/C unit outside the adjoining window was too noisy to keep our window open. Needed to use artificial lights during the day. Staff was courteous and the breakfast good. I would look for another hotel next time.

We were somewhat surprised to find a hotel without its own frontage - i.e. the reception was on the first floor of what seemed to be an appartment block. However, when we arrived at the reception desk, all doubt was removed. It was very pleasant and bright and clean and the receptionist could not have been more welcoming or helpful. The rooms are comfortable and well-equipped with ensuite toilet and shower. Our room was in the block across the narrow street, but we had a pleasant breakfast in the main building alongside reception. We had a key to the outer door in case we returned late. It was within reasonable walking distance of many sites, including the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain and only 20 minutes walk from the main bus and train station.

Lovely staff - so kind and helpful Breakfast more than adequate Only fault was that the lift up to the hotel enterance was so small and taking cases up the stairs not that easy for me and my old Dad! That said we loved this hotel and the whole place and would definately go back again.

The staff was incredibly helpful. The hotel itself was a bit out of the way (difficult to find initially and far away from many attractions) but the quality of the room was great. Everyone at the desk was very nice; they offered directions, mailed postcards, and even had a laptop available to check email. Wonderful service!
