Best Hotels near House of Girasole, Rome

In no particular order: - The wallpaper was peeling - The woodwork was chipped and dirty - The decor and furniture seemed to be a time machine to the late seventies/early eighties - You had to keep signing into the wifi, even while just sitting in the room - The fridge was ancient and barely worked (once we had actually plugged it in because it wasn't when we arrived) - The bed was uncomfortable - The bed linen consisted of a sheet, a bobbly synthetic blanket and a bed cover more suitable for Nonna - Unlike *every* other hotel or B&B I've ever stayed in, there was no kettle, tea or coffee - The air conditioning was like being breathed on by a mouse and the vent was dirty - The room was right next two elevators and a stairwell, so we were treated to random clanks and knocks during the night - The room was right above the entrance onto a busy street, so if you opened the window for some air we suffered a wide selection of traffic and other noises as well as pollution - The picture of the Virgin above the bed looking down on us was just downright dusturbing - The switches for the lights above the bed were behind the headboard, so if you moved at all in bed you flicked them on or off - The bathroom was was damp, windowless and dank - The doors to the tiny shower cubicle leaked all over the floor (not helping with the above) - The jets of water from the shower head were so narrow and hard it felt more like a water cutting machine at all but the tiniest nudge of the lever (which I kept bashing as I washed myself, either making the water scalding hot or turning it off altogether) - But most of all, *most of all*, the room stank! Properly smelled. A situation not helped by the air-conditioning, the extractor fan or opening the window. It was like a strong wave hitting you every time we opened the door. Though the ceiling was nice. And it is within reasonable walking distance of a lot of sights. It probably didn't help that - judging by the fire evacuation plan - we appeared to have the smallest room in the hotel. I think the linen cupboard just down the hall may have been more spacious. Certainly it would have smelled better. This is a hotel seriously in need of a refurb, some basic maintenance and a bit of care and attention. As it stands I am surprised they have the gall to charge what they do, or call it a four star. I've stayed in nicer bunkhouses

We stayed here initially as part of a group tour and added a couple of days onto the end. We were concerned it might not be central, but it’s a fantastic location. Walk to station is ok but also only a cheap taxi ride. The area has loads of great local restaurants and bars . They were safe and friendly plus the food was really well priced and local delicious delights. The hotel has everything you need, clean, great showers, good breakfast. Plus if you arrive early or late there’s fridges etc that dispense bottles of wine 6 euros or water plus snacks. The staff are friendly and efficient Wifi great Couldn’t recommend more

I stayed in this hotel with my family ... It is perfect place to visit the city center ... The rooms are large and well maintained .... The staff is friendly and professional ... One sin ... have no reserved parking, They use an outdoor parking near the hotel (which is not even close to the professionality and gentleness of the hotel staff).

The hotel is located very near to the Termini Station with easy access to most locations in Rome. The rooms have a bit of old-style charm and are spacious and comfortable, especially when travelling with multiple family members. The buffet breakfast at the top floor offers a wide variety of good-quality items, and is truly a highlight at this hotel. The service staff is friendly and attentive, and will rush to your aid when experiencing any difficulties. The cleaning staff helped us when we were having issues with the key, and the desk staff helped us change to a different room without any questions asked. Truly very friendly.

Deserves to be a five-star hotel, the service is amazing, and the bedding is very comfortable. Excellent location right on top of the Spanish steps. Because I booked six nights, I got a free room with a small balcony. As soon as I entered the room, I was pleasantly surprised. There were welcome fruits and a welcome card with my name printed on it (still bilingual in Chinese and English). The cleaning service is professional and clean. Free water and chocolate every day and a bottle of red wine. There is a Mixing restaurant on the sixth floor of the hotel. Unfortunately, I did not go to taste this time. Before I left, I went to the restaurant on the first floor of his house. Angus steak was superb and delicious. In short, such a hotel is worth going to Rome again.

Advantages: Although very biased, but cost-effective. The front desk service is very good, you can help to call taxi at the front desk, very convenient. Breakfast is very cheap, but there are very few options to choose from, but the breakfast in Europe, wherever you go, is nothing more than those things, and the category is a bit less. The surrounding environment is relatively quiet, but the school is a school opposite the day, slightly noisy, but it won't start very early, so it will not affect the rest. There is a balcony, the balcony is very large, sitting on the balcony and smoking a cell phone is very comfortable. Disadvantages: 1. The equipment is really old, the bathroom facilities are very poor, but they are all easy to use, just old. 2. The bed is not very comfortable, it seems that the two mattresses are put together, and there is a dividing line in the middle of sleeping. 3. The lights in the room are very dim, and the tables and chairs feel like what I was at home in the 80s. 4. The surrounding area is not very prosperous. The need to eat is very far away. The supermarket is about 1 km away. It is recommended that the selected small partners buy all of your accommodations in the supermarket one day. You don’t have to go back and forth. 5. It's really a bit biased. It takes about 10-15 Euros to get into the city. The cost is a bit high. Next time I would rather live in the city. In fact, the money for the taxi is coming out every day. But if you have an international driver's license and can rent a motorcycle in Italy, you can still consider it. personal suggestion

Really convenient location with only 3-min distance to Roma Termini giving you quick and easy transfer to the airport and elsewhere in Italy by train. Rooms have been renovated too. However, front desk staff was really rude. When I dropped my room keys in the transparent plastic box placed on the front desk for an express check-out and turned around leaving the hotel, staff shouted at me asking me to wait in line. The staff said I haven’t cleared my payment and tried to charge me full room rate plus city tax even though I have prepaid the room rate to Agoda in full. True that I haven’t paid city tax but they have swiped my credit card upon check-in or they could have asked me to pay upon check-in either. I suggested the hotel should have hided their express check out box if there is no such option available. The staff bluntly replied it is for guests who have cleared all the payment. It is really ironic who can enjoy express check out, if the hotel doesn’t charge city tax upfront nor charge it to credit card. Meanwhile, the room cleaning is so-so and forgot to refill shampoo/shower gel/fresh tower quite a few times during our stay. Also, the windows isn’t good at isolating street noise. Same review posted on Agoda.

This is a very good and very special hotel, good location, good service, good management, breakfast is very good, but the air-conditioning system is very very poor, if you are not afraid of hot people, you can enjoy it here, But if you are afraid of heat, then it is best not to come to this hotel in the summer.

The hotel is lovely and clean, and air conditioning included. Breakfast is good. Good location to Termini, where you can get a train directly to the airport. There are a couple of lovely Italian restaurants just around the corner. Close to the metro also, but be very careful, full of pick pockets. We walked to colleuseum from hotel. The Trevi fountain, Spanish steps are walking distance too, but you might want to take a coffee break half way. The host is lovely and very friendly. Room was cleaned every day. Very happy with our stay at the hotel.

This was our first night/hotel in Italy for a weeks holiday/cruise. It was the closest location (left) for our onward rail connection to the west coast (Civitavecchia). Initially, it was hard to find the hotel (at night/dark) and its front door (which wasn't illuminated). Thankfully reception staff came downstairs to the front door and talked us onto their location by mobile phone. There's a small hotel name/plaque at the front door, with several other plaques within the multi storey building (not easy to see, hence the issue). We were taken upstairs (used the small lift) to reception. The Philippine staff were very friendly and efficient, explaining everything that we needed to know for our one night's stay. A clean, small room, with a Tv, at 158 euros for 2 (146 UKP). We also had to pay 7 euros at reception ref city tax. You get no breakfast for this price. Expensive for what you get. The next day we were allowed to keep our luggage in a safe room whilst we walked out locally looking for breakfast (McDonald's is a short distance away and was ample). Our room was nothing like the advertisement/photo shown to the left of this review (we had half the size of room). We had to check out at 11am. The best thing about our stay was the staff, which we'd like to thank.
