Hotel Ercoli - Rome

8.3

When you first walk into the building, it smells and does not seem like a hotel.. once you get on the floor the hotel is on, everything becomes perfectly fine! Room is nice and service is good! We would stay there again!

8.7

It is such a clean, warm and welcoming place and is an absolute value for money. Would stay there again.

8.3

A little hard to find, but convenient for the price once it's found.

9.6

With respect to its price it was a good hotel,but we could not use its bathroom because the water was cold.

7.4

The prosecco and the christmas cake we got at christmas eve was a nice surprise. Thanks!

Very nice, clean, comfortable budget hotel. Road outside hotel was a bit noisy at times for a side road. Only issue was coffee at breakfast was often served lukewarm, even after asking for it hotter. Otherwise very good.

5.5

La cage d'escaliers est minable, dans l'entrée nous nous sommes demandés s'il vallait pas mieux faire demi tour. Arrivés en haut (à pied car ascenseur payant...) nous avons été rassurés par un personnel très sypmathique et accueillant. A notre grand soulagement, les chambres étaient propres, correctes on va dire. Le petit déjeuner inclus dans le tarif nous semble une bonne chose, même si le prix de base est un peu élevé par rapport à la France pour un service équivalent. Dans les alentours, pas grand chose à voir mais pour ceux qui aiment marcher on peut presque tout faire à pied (même le Vatican une belle ballade au bord du Tibre). Le bus touristique découvert est sympa aussi lorsque vous avez un temps magnifique doux et très ensolleilé comme nous (surtout en novembre). Agréable séjour dans l'ensemble. A ne pas rater les glaces San Crispino près de la Fontaine de Trévi, une pure merveille...

great little hotel. would stay here again

8.3

This little hotel was a find. It is located in an unassuming building and can be a little difficult to find but it's worth the hunt. We were greeted very well and although we don't speak Italian at all and the host spoke limited English we made jokes and had a good time. The only issue was a sign saying the toliet had a problem, however, we never noticed any issues. The breakfast was good and the location was great.

La entrada no sale en las fotos y es un poco "chunga", no es un hotel norma que da a calle, es un hostal antiguo pero al abrir la puerta del piso está todo reformado y se te pasa el susto. El segundo día no tubimos agua caliente, enviaron al tecnico rápido y nos hicieron un descuento (20€) en la factura, por todo lo otro bién. (poca veriedad de desayuno).

7.1

Helpful & friendly staff. Nice breakfast. Not particularly conveniently located in town, although not far to the Borghese Museum. Only drawback was tendency to run out of hot water in morning. Only stayed in Rome 2 days. If we were going to stay longer, we would probably shop around before going back to Ercoli

7.0

Very good hotel. Price is a little bit expensive but as any other hotel in this city ... 15 mins walk from the "Centro Storico", easy to do ...

The beds are the best feature of this hotel. They are very comfortable. Bring ear plugs for the noise level while sleeping and you will be fine. Breakfast was inconsistant. One morning there was a wonderful choice of items like meats, cheeses, fruits, yogurt, juice, rolls, etc. The next morning, almost nothing. One morning, there was no hot water in the shower (I'm talking ice cold!). This was disappointing considering the price of the room (130 euros). I think you are OK if you shower at non-peak times, like 4:00pm which I did one day (plenty of hot water then!). The Hotel location is just a bit outside most the activity, but very workable. I found the Termini exit the best to use. The walk to the hotel is completely flat this way. You can walk from Barberini, but it is up a slight incline, (OK if you don't have a suitcase). It is about 10-15 minute walk from either exit. Print a Google Map before you leave home and you will have no problem!

7.6

nice,clean accommadations. staff pleasant and helpful. Breakfast ok, always fresh fruit, yogurt, pastries and caffe. Within walking distance to train station.

7.8

Personel is very nice but did not speak any english. Breakfast is ok. Situation is little too far from the central. It was still very short walk from the railway station. The elevator did work occasionally.

6.9

Air conditioning was not up to par.

9.4

The service and the price was very good but sometimes we had a problem to communicate with the employes, because they didn´t speak English and we no italian. But anyway we had a very nice vacation there.

8.6

They didn't have an internet point set up (planning to do soon), so the owner let us use the computer and server in his office. Very accomodating. The only thing close to a problems is that it is a bit of a hike from most of the sites.

9.0

Nice place to stay, central, good breakfast and friendly staff :-)

7.7

The Hotel lived up to my best expectations. The room was good and clean. The staff were friendly.

7.3

Itis a little bit too much expensive for the location of the hotel. Otherwise it was very c lean and quiet and the breakfast was copious. Yes, we have been to Rome many times.

8.9

Our favorite city on the 10 day trip and the home like atmosphere of this hotel was wonderful. We had a group of 6 so it was 3 per room and although the rooms are not huge, they were clean, the owner was a huge help in pointing out a good place to eat (our best meal of the trip) and I would definetly return to stay here. The location was great, we walked to the tourist bus stops easily and there were a few places to eat very close as well. If you are looking to see the city, not hang out in your rooms, this is hotel is a great deal. The elevator (lift) is antique but we had a blast with the whole experience. Pasqully the owner is great and when we return to Rome, we will see him again for sure!! PS. The baths and water pressure gave us no problem at all!!!

7.6

howful stairs lead you to a small and excellent hotel. Don't worry, Thigs not working are not relevant compared to the great service quality, location and staff's kindness. very nice place to stay!! Go to pizzeria Bella Napoli! quite close to piazza pia, you'll enjoy the best pizza around there!

7.9

really enjoyed the Ercoli, we had room 3 and it was huge clean and comfortable. Just a short walk to the Termini station so a really good location. Nice little bars and cafes in the immediate vicinity and lots more a short walk away. Rooms may be a little noisy in the city in the summer with the windows open hwoever that being said name me a city in the world (with the exception perhaps of venice) where the rooms would not suffer excessivley with traffic noise, especially when you are in the heart of the city. Some work being done when we stayed but work seemed to be carried out in the hours we were out so no issue really. The hotel looks nice and fresh for it. Nice breakfast, typical euro fayre but nice. Looking for womehwere clean, cheap(ish), friendly, in the city for a couple of days. Well try the Ercoli. If like me you look at a hotel name and then look at Tripadvisor and then think ohhhhh too risky, dont look tripadvisor up for this one. Sure its not the ritz but have you seen the price of the Ritz! Nice place recommended

7.8

The room is very spaciousness (single room but got a double bed) and clean. The staff is very helpful and nice but only speaking in Italian. The location is not closed to metro, unless you know the bus route, it may need a little bit walking from metro station.

7.4

El hotel estuvo 1 dia sin agua caliente. No ofrecieron descuento por el inconveniente.

8.1

The hotel its in a very luxury district , with beautyfull buildings and close to the Termini station (20 minutes walking). Close to via Veneto and Via Nacionale, and for the other side, near to Trevi's Fountain. The breakfast its quite a bit poor (no too much variety, only industrial buns and nutella) and the hotel its in the third floor of the building (maybe you be scared of the building front face). The rooms are quiet and so so so warm (keep in mind to open the windows in winter), they have latex mattresses and the shower its aroun 60x60 cm. The real check out time its 10.30 and the staff doesnt speak another language than Italian (we're spaniards). The overall its very good and the prices for rome its cheap.

9.4

The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. A no frills hotel, but for the price and location, this is a great find!

9.0

Very helpful desk staff. Lovely breakfast

7.6

The hotel is not so far away from the station termini. There are good connections to bus. All the main sights of the town are easy to arrive via bus or metro. The rating for cleanliness of the room comes from a damaged water line anywhere on the floor. We had some water in the room sometimes. Anyway, I would recommend the hotel to all people coming to Rome to see the town and not to spend their time in the room.

9.7

I loved this place. It is very clean and spacious. The shower is a bit too small though. The surrounding area is really nice. The hotel is walking distance to Termini Station and to Republica Metro Station. The breakfast included was pretty good too. It consisted of croissants, bread rolls, coffee, orange juice and various spreads. Ana was very helpful. I would defenitely stay here again.

6.8

Very quiet and good restaurants in the street. Bathroom in bad shape and shower not working properly...

9.7

We enjoyed our stay at Ercoli and found it convenient for all Rome's sites, the Metro was nearby. The hotel was situated off the main street so it was not too noisy during the morning. We loved the antiquated lift. We were very pleased with how clean our room was, the service not fussy but very good. We were provided with all we needed for breakfast and then left alone to have a very leisurely breakfast. We would not hesitate to recommend the hotel to anyone and would certainly use it again.

8.2

Good value within walking distance of the train station; room was spacious, desk clerks helpful

3.3

the hotel was decent but a bit expensive for the quality. The bathroom shower was terrible. Both my husband and I dreaded the shower because it was SO SMALL!!!! I can barely fit in the shower. We had the view of the bottom side of the upper floor in the bathroom. There was a garden hose in our ceiling. Even though it was a non-smoking room, the smoke from the neighboring rooms and the bathroom ceiling was very strong. In the early morning, we were awoken by the employees ringing the doorbell. All in all, I wouldn't recommend booking this hotel to anyone.

8.2

Das Hotel wurde vor kurzer Zeit scheinbar generalsaniert, alle Räume mit Marmorboden, Zimmer mit Klimaanlage, Dusche und sehr angenehmen Bett. Der Aufzug dürfte aus dem 19. Jahrhundert sein, funktionierte allerdings immer. Da wir auf Städtetrip in Rom waren, wurde das Hotel nur zum Schlafen und zur Einnahme des reichhaltigen Frühstückes genutzt. Durch die zentrale Lage und die Nähe zum Bahnhof ist es bestens zu Fuß zu erreichen. Fazit: Bei der nächsten Reise nach Rom brauchen wir nicht mehr nach einem Hotel zu suchen. Unser Favorit heißt ERCOLI.

5.2

We stayed for 4 nights. The room and location of the hotel were okay, but the bathroom was not nice at all: 1. The cover of the toilet flush was missing. 2. The shower only provided DROPS of water and it took ages to wash the shampoo out. 3. The water temperature was constantly changing from hot to cold and the shower was very small. 4. Once our bathroom mat was dirty and the lady only turned it to the back side but did not change it. As the personnel only speaks Italian it was not possible to complain, they did not understand us.

8.6

My only problem was that on the day we checked out the credit card system was "broken" so we had to pay with cash.

7.1

The hotel is located in an area removed from the regular landmarks however I did not consider this a detraction. Walking or the regular bus service available on the nearby main streets ensured that all areas were within timely reach. The actual area that the hotel in was safe and clean. The local amenities included an excellent cheese shop, several restaurants (the two I tried were reasonable)and a couple of good, although pricey wine bars. The only downside of the hotel was the shower. After two days I had admitted defeat as it fluctuated wildly between the two extremities, on one occasion the water supply simply stopped mid-lather! The showers had been mentioned in previous reviews so I was not expecting Niagara, however it is an area the hotel should quickly address or they will suffer in their repeat business. Hotel staff were fine if you also made the effort, breakfast was the normal expected, no access problems late at night, just that damn shower.

7.0

La pega que tiene este hotel es el diminuto habitaculo de la ducha y la poca presion del agua de la ducha. The handicap of this hotel is the shower: low pressure of water and a little and uncomfortable shower space.

2.3

The employees do not speak English (not even basic level) and we could not communicate at all with any of them. The towels were not changed from the previous guests, when arriving in the room (we arrived at 15,30 and 10 am is the time when you should live the room - but apparently it was not enough time). Toilet was also not clean, when we arrived. During our stay the room was not cleaned, as we remarked a lot of dust under the bed and on the floor, in general. The shower is not at all comfortable (very little space and difficult to use). The breakfast is poor and even if arriving in time (between 7,30-9,30) it was not sufficient bread/croisants and we had to ask for. Overall the price/quality is not satifactory and I will not stay again there or advise the accomodation at Ercoli, which is not a 2 stars hotel, but a pension.

7.5

Bon hôtel pour sa catégorie. Notre chambre était relativement spacieuse, très tranquille, mais sans aucun décor. Bons lits. Faible débit d'eau et réglage difficile de la douche. Personnel sympa. Nous avions décidé de rester plus longtemps, mais l'hôtel était plein. La dame qui nous servait le petit-déjeûner nous a proposé une chambre à l'hôtel Piave, tout proche de l'Ercoli. Au Piave: chambre bien décorée, charme, salle d'eau parfaite, accueil aussi sympa, mais bruit de la rue relativement important, malgré une fenêtre anti-bruit (en partie défectueuse). Prix identique. Le Piave vaut a notre sens un demi-point de plus en moyenne que l'Ercoli où nous avons d'abord réservé par Venere.

7.2

El hotel está situado en un sitio inmejorable, una calle tranquila y una zona residencial muy bonita y segura, cerca de la vía Veneto y al mismo tiempo todo el centro está accesible andando desde el hotel. También hay una parada de bus a unos 100m que te conecta practicamente con todo el resto de la ciudad. La estación Termini está a unos 10 minutos caminando. Resumiendo la localización es excelente. Las habitacioes son extremadamente pequeñas y la ducha tan estrecha, sólo para personas de menos de 45 kilos! El desayuno es muy pobre y siempre lo mismo. Pero si no das mucha importancia a sestos detalles, la estancia puede llegar a ser muy agradable. Pasamos siete noches en agosto y nos encontramos muy a gusto en este hotel.

7.2

hotel propre, sans personnalité au niveau deco de la chambre. douche un peu etroite tres bon petit dejeuner

7.4

Hotel à 10 min à pied de termini, à 30 min du centre historique et du centre festif. Bon rapport qualité/prix, bon service, un des concierges parle francais, chambre climatisée et très bien insonorisée. Seul point negatif : les douches sont minuscules

9.5

This was our first booking with Venere.com and our fist stay at Hotel Ercoli. It was a nice Hotel. The room were clean and the staff were very friendly. We stay there at our next travel to Rome.

5.9

The location of the hotel is good because you don't have to use public transportation. The biggest problem was communication with the staff because nobody speaks english. The other big problem is too small bathroom, especially shower cabin. The shower is of bad quality, water is too hot or too cold it is very difficult to adjust it right and the water pressure is weak. All rooms have air condition, but you don't have any choice in regulating temperature (on/off). By the way it is so noisy that it wakes you up several times a night even when you don't use it.

7.1

Friendly and cozy, some small problems in bathroom's forniture, but staff was helpful and nice. The entrance of hotel (stairs and elevator) was dirty. We enjoyed our stay anyway.

9.2

Arriving, we were expecting something a lot less than what we got! This is a really nice place. We stayed here August 2006. -There is a lift to the 3rd floor that looks antique but works as new. -The entrance is secured and entry from street available with your own key 24hrs. -The hotel reception is beautifully tiled and simply decorated, which carries on into the rooms. -Everything was exceptionally clean. -The room we had was a twin, looked newly refurbished. The bathroom was clean. The shower was a small cubicle, but adequate for us. No power shower, but it got us clean. -The room was compact, but not too small for 2 people, with 2 hanging wardrobes, chest of drawers etc. -There was a safe, and the key was provided free of charge, really useful for Rome. -The room had aircon, which worked well and had unrestricted usage and was controlled by us not preset. -Breakfast was cold stuffs, self-service, with hot drinks served to the table. Beware - real Italian expresso! They couldn't make tea, but then you can't have everything... -The staff were English-speaking for hotel business and a few had better English. Gave us a free map. The staff were very helpful and friendly, even when we had no idea what the other was saying!!! -You can now pay by credit card. -The hotel is a 10 min walk from the station and underground + bus station. Reasonable walk, even later on, taxi 8 euros. (Beware - they charge 1 euro for every bag in the boot no matter its size, so keep small ones with you). - In summary this is a friendly little place kept to high standards and really good value for money anywhere, not just for Rome.

Es un tipico 2 estrellas de Roma, con buena ubicacion, respecto a Termini y el centro. Todo se puede hacer caminando desde alli.El edificio externamente no se condice con el interior del hotel que esta totalmente reestructurado con muy buen gusto. El personal es cordial y el desayuno es abundante considerando la variedad de un hotel 3 estrellas. La unica dificultad residio en que la ducha tenia un probrisimo caudal de agua y el tamaño de la cabina para ducharse exigia tareas contorsionistas para poder moverse en ella.Fuera de ello y considerando que que tal vez el problema era de nuestra habitacion la clailficacion general es buena, aunque el precio podria ser un poco inferior, digamos 70 o 75 euros seria optimo.
