Unfortunatedly there were some construction work and therefore I've had only cold water in the bathroom (or is it always like this?).

We enjoyed our stay at the Marco Polo. The staff were very friendly and accomodating. They helped us in every way possible and were very approachable. The rooms were quite small and the airconditioning a bit warm. But then again, who cares, as we are out almost the whole day. The best thing about it is it is a few minutes away from the train station and bus station, which makes it all the more convenient. A good hotel for a 3 star quality.

Reserve un hotel de 2 estrellas pero en España su clasificacion seria solamente de pension. Situado en la tercera planta de un edificio, sin zonas comunes, unicamente con un comedor para desayunos de unos 12m2, con cuatro mesitas redondas para dos personas, o sea con una capacidad para 8 personas! Por cierto, el "buffet" escaso. La habitacion y el baño muy reducidos. El personal antipatico, seco, de pocas palabras. Muy caro en relacion calidad/precio. Lo unico positivo es la localizacion a 5 minutos de la estacion Termini. Mi familia no somos exigentes, pero al "hotel" Marco Polo no volvemos.

We can't recommend this place at all. We had booked the Family Room for the 5 of us six months in advance, but upon arrival it turned out the room had already been given to a party of 6. We were put in a room designed for 3 (at the most). They had crammed additional beds into the room, which left barely enough space for one single chair and none for us to put our luggage or walk without having to step over each other. We complained to the clerk, who could only offer to give us another equally cramped room and obviously felt personally offended when we didn't like the situation, which caused him to behave in a very inmature way for the rest of our stay. Our request to at least lower the price was not met. The breakfast room of this hotel is more like a breakfast walk-in closet and seats 8. You get to wait in line in the reception area if it is occupied. Anything good to say about the hotel? Yeah, the chambermaid and the night shift clerk are very friendly.

Marco Polo ist im teuren Rom eine günstige Gelegenheit. Eine Straße parallel zum Hauptbahnhof. Dafür darf der Maßstab auch nicht zu hoch angelegt werden. Die Zimmer sind nicht groß aber ausreichend. Badewanne und WC gehören dazu. Der Frühstücksraum ist klein 8 Plätze, das Frühstücksbüfett für italienische Verhältnisse gut (Müsli, Croissant, Brötchen, Marmelade, Wurst, Käse). Die Angestellten sind sehr hilfsbereit, können aber nicht verhindern, daß in der Nacht von Samstag auf Sonntag im Haus die Disco dröhnt. Ansonsten ist das Hotel, obwohl in der Nähe des Bahnhofs, ruhig. Insgesammt ist das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis "Gut"

Dissapointing and very expensive even for Rome standards. Room was tiny and rather depressing. Sorry, but despite the friendly staff i would not recommend this property.

We have been there as a family (2 adults, 3 children in a family room). Everything was good. We can recommend this hotel to other families. Location near to the railway/metro station, very good and quiet rooms (slept well).

This hotel provided an excellent cost:quality ratio. We are a family of 2 adults and 3 children who were accommodated in one room at a very ggod rate. The staff were vry helpful and courteous. This review is based on the price to quality relationship.

The location of this hotel couldn't have been better - a block away from the main train station where we caught trains or buses to wherever we were going that day. The rooms were pretty much what we expected for the price - the quad was actually quite roomy. The staff were absolutely fantastic - especially Diego and Salvatore - they helped us with everything we asked for and more. The only problem we had was with the air conditioning - for some reason it never really cooled the room and in July/August it was brutally hot and we needed a place to cool off. I mentioned it to Diego and that night we had a fan in our room which helped a great deal. Overall, our stay was great! We would stay here again but probably in a cooler month!

Marco Polo is a reasonable hotel for a short stay in Rome. It is on the third floor of the building a few minutes away from the Terminii station. The room was spacious for 2 adults and 2 children and the bathroom was clean. Breakfast was good with a reasonable choice and the staff were very helpful and spoke good English. There is a good restaurant next to the hotel. Would stay there again.

This hotel, like all other Rome hotels, is overpriced. It is easily reachable from the train station by foot. The breakfast was good for a two star hotel. While not in close proximity to any of the major attracions, it is near the bus depot in front of the station and the subway.

This was a nice, small hotel with friendly staff. it is not an elite and fancy hotel, but is perfect for someone wanting something small, clean, welcoming and close to the centre. I would stay here again.

It was a nice clean Hotel, nothing fancy. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was adequate (great coffee). Walking distance to Termini Station. What we saw on Venere web site was accurate. Would stay at Marco Polo again.

It's not a 5starhotel but it's quite good hotel. The location is perfect to go whatever you want in Rome because is close to central station (Termini) so you can take a bus, trams, subway just right there. The breakfast is poor. But in general is ok, a little bit expensive but ok.

This is a two-star hotel, so you're not going to get anything fancy. But the staff is friendly, helpful, and fluent in English. The rooms are meticulously clean, although ours was small. The overall experience was excellent, and we would go there again.

We stayed three nights at Marco Polo and we enjoyed our stay! This hotel is nice, the room for four persons was not too spacous, but enough. The staff was very friendly and helpful. So I just can offer this hotel to everybody, who wants a cheap, but good hotel! We like to go back!

There is only one review. The hotel empoyes have difficult to differentiate between given (first) name and Familiy name. It took us quite a time to figure iut that we were booked under may first name Franz!. My be you can improve your web site description for Italien providers. The mistake was not caused by an erroneous entry from us. Sincerely Franz Hofmann

Abbiamo avuto un soggiorno molto sereno. La posizione del albergo permete un buon collegamento con tutta la città. Anche se da fuori non sembra un bel posto, il interno del albergo e una bellissima sorpresa e le camere sono molto acoglienti, intime.

Thanks for your site. I don't know how I could find a hotel that I needed without such detail info. It would be great if you could change your site so that it could work faster. Sometimes it is like frozen. Maybe it is just because I use this site from the USA. Thanks again. Olga.
