Best Hotels near Marisa Padovan, 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

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.

Terrible experience. The desk workers are rude, dosent even say hi. Dont want to order taxi “it’s difficult”. Noise through the whole stay day&night. Terrible breakfast. Tiny rooms cant even open the case. The toilet doesn’t flush well. Dark and cold. It was a second stay after a short and nice experience, i guess that’s there thing. First time you get a decent room so they can take advantage of you next time (they saw its our second visit). To sum up - we never coming back.

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.

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 was great- it's located 10 mins from termini central station (so easy to get there from the airport and no need to walk alot with your luggage), and from piazza della repubblica (so close to another metro station). The location was great because it's walking distance to everthing you want to see (I only took the metro to the vatican- you could also walk there, which I did on the way back when I had more time). There are also good restaurants, gelaterias and shops in the area (as it's located next to via nazionale and the opera house) and they are usually less expensive and crowded than those near famous sites (so I ate there almost every evening). I had a single room which was clean and had everything I needed (comfy bed, safe, hot water, wifi, etc.). The staff was really nice and helpful (they are there 24/7, and you can leave your luggage with them if you need), and the breakfast was good. I would definitely stay there again next time I visit! Thank you.

Gianmarco is the perfect host. He is very kind and caring. Very punctual and easy to reach. He responded promptly either by text or by call whenever we needed him. He also helped us out when we needed an extra night. He gave us a price for another room he had nearby. He also guides you very well if you need help. The room is very clean and well maintained. It made our stay more than pleasant. Very quiet too even though it is on a very busy street. The location is also great. Close to almost all the tourist sites you would like to visit. We did almost everything on foot (we do like to walk!). It's not far from Piazza di Spagna where there is always action. It's also near metro stations and buses. There are also many restaurants and cafes around. You won't regret booking a room with Gianmarco! Trust him! :)

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.

I'm sure that each of us has his own scale of factors to evaluate whether a place is beautiful or ugly but that the added value is the people. In this clean, nice and very comfortable hotel, near the Roma Termini station, it is precisely the people who make a small hotel a point of reference for our trips to Rome. Paola from the reception was, and is, the person who followed us during the booking process and who went out of her way to help us project our photographs on a wall, in a small room set up just for us, a small group of photographers arrived in town for a two day photography course. Thanks Thanks Thanks dear Paola, you are invaluable for the hotel and for the people who stay with you.. an infinite thanks from all of us. Federica

We booked accommodation for 2 days, we arrived at 03:00 for our night, they received us The air conditioner in the room was not working properly but we were very tired and went to sleep anyway The next morning we asked you to check the air conditioner but at noon they didn't fix it, we asked to change rooms and they changed us the second room was very good
