Grand Hotel Tiberio - Rome

We stayed 4 nights and were quite happy with our stay. Many previous reviewers state that the hotel is far from downtown and the Vatican. While it is some distance from downtown, the Vatican is definitely within walking distance. The hotel offers a shuttle service to both places which we found quite handy. The only concern we had was the distance from the train station. This is a very costly cab ride. We understand the commuter system is quite good in Rome, but can be quite intimidating to the novice just stepping off the train. We enjoyed having a hotel some distance from downtown. Rome is a city filled with throngs of people and it was nice to get away from the crowds at night. We found a great restaurant, La Casilla, 2 minutes from the hotel. We ate there every night and had great food and even better service.

Hotel is very good. Rooms were clean and reasonably spacious. Staff were pleasant and helpful when needed. Breakfast was very good with a good choice of fruit, bread, cereals and with hot bacon and eggs.Location was a little far out but with the hotel courtesy coach and the public bus there was really no problem getting back and forth from the hotel to the city center. I would stay again and recommend it.

Was put off by graffiti on buildings adjacent to and all around neighborhood. Wish hotel wewe closer to main attractions in city. Hotel staff was great!

Staff was very helpful, room with 3 twins, nice and spacious enough for my husband and I and our grown son traveling with us. safe, residential type neighborhood. We walked to Vatican, but may want to taxi or take the shuttle which is pricy. Good breakfast included. Nice hotel for the price; definitely recommend.

It's ok for every kind of clientele.I'm very satisfited. I have been to rome many times.

Excellent hotel!

Hôtel très propre. Petit déjeuner buffet copieux et varié. Personnel très aimable. Un point négatif : insonorisation des chambres. Il serait utile d'envoyer à chaque client un plan d'aide afin d'accèder à l'hôtel (station de métro et de bus proche et des informations sur les liaisons entre les 2 aéoroports)

First time in Roma, and it was lovely. We went for the Wales Italy game in March 2009 and the hotel was convenient for the tube into town and also for getting to the stadium. The trip to the hotel from termini is not great - tube and a train - but a taxi is an option depending on the price.

Perfect!!!delicious breakfast and really quiet room

Un buon hotel, da raccomandarsi. Visti i prezzi (assurdi!) correnti a Roma, questo albergo offre un buon rapporto qualità/prezzo. Ci ritorneremo in altre occasioni.

The Hotel is too far from the center. You have to take a local train (one stop) and then the metro(5 stop to the center)to be in town. That means minimum 40 to 45 mn travel in a very poor surrounding. The hotel offers only 3 buses to the town at 09.00, 09.45,and 10.30 a.m. they are mostly full and they go only to the Vatican and Piazza Cavour...

This hotel is superior by Roman Hotel standards at the price I paid (off peak). The only down-side for me was the location (its not centro storico).Its a 10 minute bus ride from St Peters and is not really walking distance. The buses are frequent but at night you need to take a taxi there. Lovely hotel & surroundings.

The only negativity I would remark regarding our stay at the property was that on entering the bathroom, there was a "musty" smell. It gave me the feeling that a damp cloth lay for a while before being used to clean the floor.

L'Hotel Tiberio è sempre una garanzia, soprattutto quando si trovano offerte interessanti, ha un rapporto qualità prezzo molto alto che utilizzo sempre per viaggi di lavoro. Ottime le camere, anche i servizi di ristorazione sono di alto livello.

We stay 4 days, 2 families with 2 kids each (7 and 10 years), easy to reach, from airport and town with railway (fm). In the late evening only bus. Good price-quality relationsship.

I think the Tiberio has seen better days but it is still good value for the money -- if you want to be in that neighbourhood (We did, because of a nearby conference). Breakfast was massive but not top quality. The shuttle service to/from town centre has very limited hours, only running in the morning from 9-11. That should be improved.

We got a good deal on this hotel through Venere (121 euros per room per night including breakfast) given that it was over Easter. Indications in the room itself showed the regular rate was more than double this. So for what we paid it was a good price but I would not choose it again simply because of the location. We only had two days in Rome and it would have been better to be more central. There was a free shuttle service to the Vatican and city centre, 3 times a morning going but only one coming back around 6 in the evening. The minibus only seated about 8 people so in high season places are not guaranteed. There is a railway stop behind the hotel where you need to change after one stop to get onto the metro line, and a number 990 bus, so public transport is possible. However, in the evening after a full day walking around the city, we were too tired to contemplate going back in this way. Restaurants in the area are practically non-existent (and the ones that were there were closed) so we ended up eating in the hotel restaurant both evenings. Meals were adequate but nothing spectacular. Reasonable prices though. Breakfast was full of sweet cakes and biscuits, not really my thing, and the scrambled egg looked like it had seen better days...Also our room was very hot, although we switched off the heating, we could not seem to cool it down. Leaving the window open at night meant we were disturbed by outside noises. Paper thin walls too. This all sounds very negative so will try and list the good things now!! Staff were very pleasant and receptionist helpful. The rooms were very clean and I think we were just unlucky with the heat thing as our daughters' adjoining room was not the same. We had a nice short break in Rome despite all the above. PS if you take your children to the Colosseum, make sure you take their passports. I couldn't prove age or origin and they made them pay the full price when it should be free for under-16s!

We were given a double room with rain leaking in from the windows and with no heat. We were switched over onother room with no leaks but no heat. The power was switching off on its own every so often. The two rooms didn't follow the regular progressive numbering and were not signaled in the hall. This hotel is far from sites and, although easily accessible through public transportation, you must take the Metro A and then switch over to a train. Trains and metro were always punctual.There is a bus stop, but cannot figure out the schedule. Their complementary shuttle service doesn't run on Sundays. Just too far to come back and forth: once you are out in town, you only come back at night (before 10pm, otherwise you can only take the bus). Nothing to do around the hotel, since it is a residential area. Breakfast selection was ok, fruit was a little stale and service was poor. Reception polite, helpful but not friendly.

Good

I treated my son, an Inter fan, to his 14th birthday present, a weekend in Rome, primarily to see Lazio v Inter; I'd persuaded him that Rome had a lot more to offer than Milan. He was not disappointed and the Hotel was excellent. In a quiet neighbourhhod with good public transport, bus , rail & metro close by, its ideal for the Vatican and the Stadio Olimpico. Al lthe reception staff spoke excellent English and a special mention to Angela who sourced a local bar for some food before the game on Saturday evening, lent us her umbrella (the wetest day in Rome in living memory) ordered the taxi for the Stadium and sourced an excellent local restaurant for the Sunday night. I'd use the Hotel again for business or vacation purposes.

Very good relationship price/quality.

I was especially delighted with my room. It was large, bright, clean and had a balcony which overlooked the gardens. My only reservation about the hotel was that the breakfast was meagre especially for a 4 star hotel. I would however have no hesitation in recommending the hotel and will certainly stay there again.
