Hotels Near Porta Pinciana in 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 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.

The hotel is located in a strategic location, just a few steps from the entrance of the metro, just next to a supermarket and a variety of bars and restaurants. The hotel is very friendly and professionally staffed. The room was very comfortable and was very comfortable. Prices in the standard considered location and services near the hotel. Recommended if for a short period (2/3 nights), otherwise even if you are alone like me, it is better to take a higher-class room, Because otherwise it tends to become a distressing single standard room.

The room is a bit small and the facilities are a bit old, but the overall service and experience are good! It's a pity that there is no swimming pool! The price-performance ratio is good, the hotel is in a good location, and the service staff is of good quality!

The hotel is not big, the facilities are a bit old, but the location is good, the hotel staff are friendly, this is the reason we stayed again.

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 would have liked to rate the hotel as 4.5* however our room was at the front of the hotel and even with the windows shut it was very noisy from the large road junction outside, plus there was noise from other residents and tvs in other rooms, maybe some soundproofing needs to be carried out. That having been said the location was excellent, an easily walkable distance to main attractions, plus a metro stop is directly outside the hotel. The area felt safe at night and there some very good restaurants to try which are only minutes away. Should you wish to go shopping then there are plenty of non-designer shops to choose from nearby including a very good department store called COIN. Our room was a good size and had a lovely bathroom. The bed was large and extremely comfortable, the linen was super soft. Cleaning through the hotel was of a high standard. Breakfast was excellent, everything you might want and the most delicious scrambled eggs I have ever had in a hotel. There were salads, pastries, cakes, fresh fruit, yoghurts, different cured meats and cheeses, sausages and bacon and vegetarian options. Top marks for the hard working breakfast staff. A great start to the day. Staff generally were friendly and helpful. At reception were snacks and drinks to welcome you which was a nice gesture. The hotel also has a small restaurant, ideal for lunches or if you are too exhausted to leave the hotel at night. We had pizzas and salads there a couple of times for lunch and they were very good. The reception area is good with couches, they will look after your baggage if you have a late flight. A very enjoyable stay.

We spent four nights in this lovely hotel, the staff are amazing, so friendly and helpful. We had a lovely room with a balcony which was fantastic to sit out on in between all our sightseeing. The hotel was super clean, and the room was cleaned to a high standard. We really enjoyed the breakfast , there was a good choice and it was a great start to the day. It was a little further away from the sights than we thought, however this would not stop us staying here again, lots of nice restaurants etc close by, we really enjoyed our stay here.

I slept the best in Italy, and I'd like to book it again next time I go to Rome. The room is not big, but the layout is clean, tidy, warm and comfortable, relaxing. Sound insulation is well handled. The bed and pillows are very comfortable. The whole hotel is designed to be fresh and pleasing and looks very new. The front desk service is also very professional.

Stayed for 4 nights to celebrate our engagement as part of a holiday package. We expected budget as a 3 star hotel and was just using it as a place to store luggage safely and sleep while we explored Rome. It's way worse than our already low expectations. The good: 1. The bed was surprisingly comfy 2. There's a nice balcony and it's in a lovely area beside the Borghese park and spagna metro. 3. The bed is made everyday. The bad: 1. There is NO BREAKFAST even though we were promised a daily continental breakfast. The receptionist said there was never any breakfast served despite having a restaurant area? There's also no bar. 2. There is NO SAFE in the room (204) despite claiming they have in room safes. The 'safe' is a collection of everyone's valuables in reception. The first receptionist even suggested that the safe was in the fridge... We did have to lock our stuff in the wardrobe and take the key away everyday. 3. The air conditioning and TV are decorations- they DO NOT WORK. Asked for a remote for the TV- didn't work. Receptionist changed batteries- did not work. A/C doesn't work so don't book in summer. 4. CONSTRUCTION WORK IN ROOMS FROM 7.30 AM! 8.30 AM on a Saturday! Are they insane? Loud drilling. 5. No luggage storage - no tags for luggage kept temporarily. Placed under an open staircase - receptionist didn't care which is ours. Anyone could've taken our bags. 6. Acknowledged our engagement request- did nothing for it. 7. It's dated- the shower wasn't temperature regulating properly and got so hot and freezing. Come here if you literally just want a place to sleep and don't care about your stuff being potentially stolen.
