Hotel Argentina - Rome

2.2

A horrid little hotel stuck several floors up a rickety lift in a multi-tenanted property which is in poor condition. Towels provided were actually sheets. The breakfast was revolting and the overall impression is one of gloom. I could not recommend this place to anyone

8.9

Excellent hotel near Termini. Clean rooms. Stayed in a single room with a bathroom nearly as large as sleeping room. Best bathroom in Rome, I am sure! Hotel staff are friendly and helpful. Plenty of eateries near hotel. Hotel within easy walking distance of sites in Rome (Roman Forum, Vatican, Spanish steps, Trevi fountain, P. Navona, etc.) ; or, if you prefer public transport, Termini offers easly access to bus and metro. Hotel was very clean. Would stay here again. Hotel is in a buildilng with other hotels and private residences/offices. When trying to find hotel, be sure to look to street number and not large sign for Hotel Argentina.

5.0

One could find better stay if the budget is slightly increased.

8.9

Hotel was very convenient to Roma Termini. The room was very spacious, quiet, safe, and secure.

7.4

Compare with the same price of other hotels,the quality is good.

9.0

This hotel is a gem for the traveler. It is 1.5 blocks from Stazione Termini (with bus/train transportation to all parts of Rome and beyond), 1.5 blocks from Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica, 1.5 blocks from a great laundromat, and within walking distance of so much. Clean and quiet!

9.9

Our accomodations at the Argentina were very good and very comfortable. The staff was very helpful and the continental breakfast was also very good. You are going to the 4th floor of this building to get to the Argentina but there is an elevator, small and slow, but it does go up and down.

7.1

Room comfortable sizewise. Bathroom small. Pillows needed to be replaced and there were only 3 in the room. Hotel very conveniently located near Rome Termini. Handy to tourist attractions. Hotel is on the 4th floor of the building. Lift v.small but better than none. Very quiet. Breakfast adequate but uninspiring.Married couple last stop on way out of Europe.

8.4

Hotel was located close to Termini Station. Cost was 90 euro for a single. Room was small by U.S. standards. For a place to sleep was fine. Staff all were helpful and spoke English.

4.3

Too noisy rooms.

3.9

Sorry but the room smelled awfull from the toilet, a lamp was missing and the night watch wasn't told that we wore promised breakfast earlier.

10

Hotel Argentina was close enough to Stazione Termini for us to use the bus services and the underground. The Forum was just a short walk away and there was an excellent retaurant (Roberto's) just outside the door. IN three days we were able to visit the Forum, St.Peter's, The Vatican and Trajan's Market with plenty of time to stroll to The Spanish Steps and Via Condotti (etc.) and all the other sights.

8.5

Perfect place to visit Rome,near to every place,the hotel really was confortable and new

9.2

great! great!

8.3

A very decent hotel at a decent price with excellent location

6.2

The location of the hotel is good especially for the people who are in rome for the first time as it is very close to Train & Metro Station.The single room is a little small.I also suggest to buy the phone card.The employees were welcome and tried to help me to find the touristic places.

8.4

Very convenient to Termini. One of the check-in staff is a bit cold/flat, but the others are very nice. Good Value- about 100Euro/night for a double.

7.9

Vey central, particularly close to the Termini for easy access to airport

7.6

It was a nice and spacious hotel. Was quite near the termini railway station.

7.8

The hotel has a very good location (one can easily reach Termini station by foot). The staff is friendly and speak english good enough. The building faces a lively street, but two pairs of packet-windows are enough to make the rooms silent enough for sleeping.

3.3

I try to stay in a different hotel every time I visit Rome. So far, this hotel is one of th worst by far. First off, I chose it due to its position to the Termini station and that Venere.com says it has an internet connection which I use for business. It does not have an internet connection. The location is close to Termini however the hotel is tucked away in a side alley up 4 flights of stairs. You have a feeling of beig stuck in a tight location before you even get to the room. The room was tiny even compared by Roman standards. The bathroom was falling apart, the room smelled like mildew and the TV was about 9 feet in the air on top of a desk. I am definitely glad I checked in late and only had to spend 8 hours there... I do have to say this isn't the first time Venere.com didn't have their facts straight about hotel amenities.

4.8

The hotel website actually quoted 85-90 euros on the period of stay that i booked through VENERE!

6.0

The room was clean and large for Rome. Great location to walk to termini and get around on the Metro. Great air conditioning, as you were able to turn it on, unlike other hotels who tout A/C and heat. Nice blow dryer and ample bathroom. Unfortunately the bathroom smelled of sewage the whole time. Obviously no traps in the pipes. They blamed it on the rain. Bring perfume with you. Opening the windows did not help as it opened up to a courtyard of apartments with lots of oily foods cooking. I would not stay here again due to the bathroom smelling so vile and the staff lack of knowledge of Rome, even though the gal in the AM was very helpful. We skipped their breakfast every AM, as it was low quality. The counter cafe up the street on the corner had great espresso, pastries, and sandwiches. We ate there every AM. Home made pastries.

4.9

Poor breakfast !

8.0

A fantastic location - easy to find and the rooms were clean. I would certainly recommend the hotel to others.

8.3

Central location, easy directions to find hotel. V helpful staff. Breakfast choices limited. Overall a great stay.

7.7

The room was very small but it's typical for European Hotels. It's okay for a single traveller. The Hotel is VERY close to Termini so from there, you can get anywhere in the city. The hotel is located on the 4th floor of a building so that could be a hassle if you have a lot of luggage as the elevator is very small. The staff were friendly & I would highly reccomend this hotel. Have fun in Rome!

8.7

good hotel, I will book it again.

8.0

Staff fine. Breakfast fine. Room ok (tho ugly color). Location ok for a place to sleep but kinda dead.

2.7

Hard to find hotel from central train station especially since the building contains three hotels on three different floors. Rooms for one person very small with the option of only a single bed. In our double room there was a very strong smell of sewer gas.

8.5

very friendly reception desk

8.3

I like this hotel , we have an incredible stay, have an excellent ubication and the staff is more helpness, i was with my family and we enjoy a lot our days at this hotel. If you find a nicely hotel at Rome city.. this is the good one.

7.6

Piccolo hotel, il prezzo un po alto ma ripaga la posizione molto centrale. Personale eccellente

6.6

First time to stay in Hotel Argentina . Not suitable for family . Near to Termini . suitable for a tourist with short duration stay. Experience satisfactory . I might consider this hotel in next visit to Rome.

6.5

It is a small hotel quite close to Termini train Station and very comfortable for short stays in Rome. Its rooms are clean and fairly large. I think it is most convinient for people travelling in their own who want to stroll around as it is so well located with the underground and buses very near.

8.3

This hotel is in a great location! Less then 5 minute walk to Train station & a 15 minute walk to all major attractions! Staff was friendly & helpful with suggestions for dinner & places to go! I would stay there again!

5.2

Exclelent central position good for turists, but old building, different hotels inside the same structure, in different floors, not a good smell inside the building, very small single room, but enaugh clean, renewed bathroom. TV not properly working, Not any Internet point as described in website. Very poor breakfast.

9.1

We stayed in this hotel summer-07. Location is excellent. You can walk to everything!!! Price maybe little to high if you transfer to US dollars from EU. Breakfast was ok and staff very friendly. They change the sheets every day, not like in some hotels. The restroom was making a wierd noises after flush because they have a shreader there, but so far so good. I recommed this hotel for couples.

7.9

I was travelling alone. I liked Hotel Argentina because of the kindness of the personnel, good rate and excellent location

6.9

Double room for my wife and me. Good location between train station and Forum. Rates are high, but it is Rome. Recient renovation. Lots of street noise with window open, but double window system eliminates noise. I would book this hotel again.

7.7

L'albergo è comodissimo per la vicinanza alla stazione ed al centro cittadino. La qualità del servizio è medio-bassa ma si salva l'essenziale. Il prezzo in considerazione di ciò è alquanto alto, ma ancora conveniente vista l'offerta alberghiera romana che ha passato i limiti del normale rapporto qualità/prezzo. Se non si hanno troppe pretese, è consigliabile.

5.2

The hotel is at the 4° floor of a bulding !

7.9

anyway it is a good hotel. Centre located and near termini railway station. The rooms are small as in all rooms hotel in in the city.

8.2

La posizione è ottima, vicinissimo alla stazione ed a piedi, se uno ha voglia di camminare, si raggiungono Colosseo, Fontana di Trevi, Piazza di Spagna ecc. Vicinissimo c'è l'Ice Club, bar interamente costruito con ghiaccio... divertente..

8.7

We had a pleasant stay between 19.-24.10.2006 at Hotel Argentina. Personnel was kind, rooms were clean and safe, some noise came mainly from corridors (not outside), breakfast was better than expected and specially kids (12 to 17 years) were treated excellent. The whole process from reserving via Internet (first time) up to payment surprised me in very positive way. Everything was as promised and as agreed. Hotel Argentina locates in good place for both public transportation and your walking. I can recommend.

9.6

The Argentina was clean and accommodating. It is so close to the Termini Train Station that a taxi isn't needed, only about 2 blocks! Transportation via train, bus or metro is very close at hand. Also, it is close to good restaurants, etc. The staff was very nice and knowledgeable. The Argentina shares a building with several other hotels, each on a separate floor, not a problem, just interesting.

9.5

Hotel Argentina is an excellent location. Very close to Termini. We walked to all tourist attractions. We visited family and enjoyed our stay in Roma.

8.6

Pleasant staff, clean rooms, recently renovated, very convenient location, near the Termini, good value for a family.

6.7

Rome is a bit pricey. The room was small, but nice enough. The clerks were extremely friendly and helpful.

6.9

very good location; it's a small hotel in a building with several others but no complaints for what it was and cost. "Orange juice" a bit ordinary and breakfast basic, but we have no complaints. I would stay there again (but not if I was looking for more luxury, obviously). All the best - it all worked fine.

8.8

This is a very good location for exploring the city. You are very near Termini (good for subway access throughout the city) and walking distance to the Forum and Colosseum. Definitely recommend for the budget traveler.

7.5

The ad publicizes a high-speed internet connection in the room which is not available. The hotel has a very convenient location and a good quality/price ratio.

4.2

The hotel is very well located. The rooms are very clean, and the place is very quiet, but I wouldn’t recommend the place if you are traveling in Europe for a while, and if you are planning to stay more then one night in Rome. About the prices, it was our most expensive hotel in Europe and the worst one we have picked in Venere.com The breakfast is very…very simple. People are rude sometimes, and if you need their help to deal with outside matters, they will help you just a little and if you beg a lot for it. The rooms are very small. Our shower was cold at first. Their heating was broken when we checked in, and they didn't tell us until the cold shower was taken. The hotel shares an old building with 2 or 3 more hotels, so you can have an idea how small Argentina is. I don’t recommend this hotel for vacation if you are planning to stay in Rome longer then one day with a family, or as couple. The price is not worthy compared to the quality of the hotel. You can find better hotels for cheaper prices and better service quality; however if you are students traveling in a cheap way, that is the best place to stay without a question!

6.6

On the pictures you couldn't recognize that it was just a one floor hotel. So in the same building are 4 different hotels (each floor one). I found that strange.

7.9

Clean and central placed hotel with good realtionship for price/quality. One single room is directly near the entrance (4th floor). In the morning there was some noise from the entrance door (guests coming/going to the breakfast room, which was a little small). Nevertheless I can recommend this hotel.

7.9

Service: one day no toiletpaper available in the bathroom and room wasn"t cleaned. Nice and quiet hotel, friendly staff and on a nice spot in Rome.

6.7

Unser Doppelzimmer bestand aus einem 1,40m Bett, das wir erst verrücken mußten, um die Badezimmertür zu öffnen. Das Zimmer war immer sehr sauber. Das Frühstück kann man mit hier nicht vergleichen. Wir wurden aber satt. Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral. Zu Fuß sind es nur 4-5 Minuten zum Bahnhof Termini und zur Metro. Auch das Colosseum ist zu Fuß zu erreichen. Pizzerien gibt es in der Via Cavour auch zu genüge. Deutsch wird im Hotel gar nicht gesprochen. Mit Englisch konnten wir uns dann relativ gut verstänidgen. Die Bezahlung hat gut geklappt. Wir hatten ein Zimmer auf den Hinterhof. Dafür bekamen wir so den Straßenlärm nicht mit. Allerdings kann man die Metro erkennen, wenn sie unter der Erde fährt. Unsere Badetür hat dann immer leicht geklappert. Allerdings fährt sie nachts nicht ;-)

9.8

LOSS PLENTY OF TIME HAVING TO GET CASH ON THE STREET BECAUSE CREDIT CARD MACHINE DID NOT WORK

8.1

5 mins walk to Termini (train + bus).All sites are walkable Colosuem 5 min,Trevi 10 min, S-steps 15 min and Vatican 25 min. Our room 101 is beside reception / breakfast area a lot of noise in the morning 7am,had to get the air-con unit turned off at night to sleep. Other than the noise I can't say anything bad and would stay again in a different room.

9.3

If we had spoken italian, it would have been much easier to talk with the othervise very nice and service-minded staff. With this little "exception", we highly recommend "Argentina".

9.5

A fairly small and basic hotel, but in an excellent location for public transport links, very clean, comfortable and excellent value for money. Staff were friendly and helpful. Several reasonable restaurants nearby. We'd use it again without hesitation on our next visit to Rome.

8.5

The receptionists were really helpful and the room was spotlessly clean as was the ensuite annex. The beds and pillows were so comfortable. It's in an ideal location for the termini, approx 300m, where you can catch trains, metro and buses. I'd recommend it.

8.2

For my first time in Rome, I was really happy to have found this hotel. I really liked the fact that it was so close to Termini Stazione, as well as the metro stop. The staff was incredibly helpful and gave me great directions and recomendations for near-by restaurants. The breakfast was typical continental breakfast fare, however it was plentiful and good! I was in Rome for a while, so I was happy that there was plenty of space to unpack and make the room feel like my home. My only two complaints are that the wall separating me from the next room seemed paper thin. I heard absolutely EVERYTHING the couple said and did in the room next to mine. And I wish they had internet access.

8.2

Good hotel, on the fourth floor with small elevator. Not far from Termini. Only 10 minutes walk. To Trevi etc is about 25 minutes walk. Friendly personel. We had a quit room for which we asked. No noise from the street. Good breakfast (buffet). We can recommend this hotel.

8.0

For 3Stars the hotel is OK. You cannot find a luxury entrance etc... but who will stay the whole day in the hotelroom in Roma? They clean every day. Its It´s close to the main station so we had the metro and bus close. The breakfast was good, too.

7.2

The room was extremely small, but the staff was very nice, breakfast was just fine and overall our stay was good.

7.7

Excellent central location. Spotlessly clean rooms Functional breakfast One of the male receptionist not very helpfull. Price exactly what was quoted on the internet. One very nice touch was, we were given a boottle wine and a Christmas cake. Overall a good hotel for a short visit to Rome. very central, clean.

9.1

L'albergo è davvero a cinque minuti dalla stazione di Roma Termini e molto vicino a importanti siti turistici. Tranquillo e silenzioso, si trova al terzo piano di un palazzo che ospita altri alberghi di tipo inferiore. La colazione non offre molta scelta ma comunque il rapporto qualità-prezzo è favorevole.

8.3

Dormir en Roma nunca es barato. Pero este lugar esta muy bien situado, es limpio, silencioso y dispone de lo necesario para pasar unos dias en Roma.

7.9

5 minutes from station. lift at hotel small but adequate (amusing). breakfast was adequate for continental standards: included cheese, pate, jams, yogurts and different types of breads. Room at the back over small courtyard but was also quiet. Would use hotel again as it suited our purpose.

9.3

Our room was quite spacious but not much of a view. The rest of Rome made up for that however. In fairness all we needed was a place to rest our heads. The hotel is within walking distance of most of the main archeological attractions of rome. If you aren't much of a walker then no fear as the "termini" (local train station) is a stone throw away and also the metro is around the corner. The staff are lovely and very friendly and had no problem helping us to get a taxi to the airport at 7am. If we were to return to Rome we would have no hesitation using Hotel Argentina again.

10

Excellent. Very clean and the people were courteous and helpful. I reccomend staying here.

6.1

The hotel is located very near the railway station (very convenient). The room that we had was isolated from the sreet but was not isolated from the other rooms (very noisy!). The equipment of the bathroom was rather poor.

8.9

War positiv erstaunt, hätte auf Grund der Papstwahlen nicht gedacht, daß das Zimmer freigehalten wird,.....

9.1

Un vero e proprio albergo romano. Vicino alla stazione, al Coliseo e tutti gli altri posti importanti. Stanza pulita, accoglienza amicabile. No problems. A real Roman hotel, in an old building, close to the station and other major attractions. Clean room, warm welcome. Enjoyed it.

7.2

Muy buena la atencion de la gente del Hotel , excelente la ubicacion.

7.3

For location and purpose upon arrival in Rome, it was clean and sufficient for a 1 or 2 night stay.

5.6

Very good position in relation to Termini bus and metro servies. Also some good restaurants nearby. Could cope with reception being on 4th floor but room on 5th floor was not convenient. Breakfast was miserly and coffee awful.

9.7

good hotel for a short tourist stay in rome

7.9

At 90 euros per night during off season it seemed like a ok price. The room was clean and staff was friendly enough. If you don't mind the slow elevator or walking up 4 flights of stairs this is a good hotel for the money. Location was a plus as well -- being close to the train station and metro. We had a back facing room so it was quiet enough most of the time.

5.1

For the price I'd expected something better. Room was clean and spacious, but smell from bath and from outside was a disturbance. The price paid booking by VENERE was the highest I could see in the register of the hotel.

7.2

My wife and I stayed for 4 nights at the beginning of October 2004. Only 2 blocks from Termini station. Hotel situated on the fourth floor. Very clean, staff excellent. Go for the back facing rooms - much quieter than the front. Good restaurantes around the corner - Europe was the best. V.expensive at 130 euros a night, but that seems to be the rate in Rome.

10

E vicino alla stazione e molto comodo. Sono molto contenta. Penso di tornare in questo albergo anche la prossima volta.

8.0

The place was in good location to termini station and only a 15 minute walk to the coluseum. The room was a clean. This is a small hotel with only 5 rooms. Breakfast was good.

9.5

A comfortable and friendly hotel in an excellent location for visiting rome. Good value for money.

8.1

The air conditioning was centrally controlled and we could not turn it on when we were hot. The location was convenient for using the buses and subway.

9.1

when i called up the hotel directly before making a reservation via venere, the price they offered us was 150 euro!! (it was 75 euro v ia venere) we were o satisfied, but what was that original price means...

8.8

A reasonably priced hotel with good service and comfortable rooms. Located near Termini which offers transportation to any part of Rome. A 10 minute walk to Colosseum. There were some kind of parade outside so I found the room a bit noicy but apart from that it was an enjoyable stay at the Argentina. Definetly recommended and would not hesitate to stay there again.

10

Overall, staying in Argentina was very enjoyable and we were completely satisfied. The location, staff, cleanses all wonderful. Very pleased with service, will use it again.

6.9

The hotel is nearby the Termini-Railway-Station (5 min). The rooms are quiet and very clean.

6.7

This hotel wasn't quite what we expected, it is located in a building with one hotel per floor, and the Argentina is located on the 4th floor. When we checked out, the elevator was broken and we had to walk down four flights of stairs with luggage. Although the hotel served its most primitive purposes, we don't plan to use it again. Must say though, that the person who checked us in, was exceptional in his welcome and in providing information on Rome.

7.1

The summary of our stay of five days in Rome in November 2003 is good. We reached the reception on a Sunday at 9.30 a.m. and the rooms weren`t finished because the check-out has to be done at 11.00 a.m. already. We came back at 12.00 a.m. and we had to wait another 35 minutes until we could go in. So it is highly recomended not to reach that early. Our room was very quiet, the main street was on the opposite site of the hotel. I think it can be quite loud otherwise. Overall the cleanliness in the room is good. Breakfast is quite poor. If you like ham, cheese, eggs for instance you will not be satisfied. There is no bread or butter either. But for us this wasnt very important because we wanted to explore this spectacular city. The staff was quite friendly. If you want to stay at more or less cheap cost a whole week the Hotel Argentina is a good adress. The location is exellent. Just a 100 m. away from the central station Termini and also, of course, the main metro station. Less than a 1000 m away from the magnificant Colloseum!!! 80 Euros the night in a double-bed.

5.7

We have stayed 3 days. It is on Via Cavour which is very close to Termini and Collesou. You can walk to Termini and go every where to Rome. Employees were polite, rooms are large and clean. But I did not like the building, there are more than 3 hotels on the same building. Lifts did not seem safe to me. The breakfast was the worst I have eaten in a hotel.

4.9

Our double room was clean but the furniture was a bit old. Also, the washroom had a bad smell. Our main problem was with customer service. The man at the front desk during the day was rude and ruined our stay. After our first night's stay he called us early in the morning and rudely accused us of causing 5 power outages in the hotel. He claimed that we had plugged in something electrical that was causing the problem. After we proved that it wasn't us, he didn't apologize and just pretended like there wasn't any problem. When we were checking out he didn't even look at us or say a word to us. He just kept talking to a friend of his. I wouldn't recommend staying here. You can stay a little closer to the train station/metro (which is very convenient for getting around) for less and probably in a better hotel.

5.7

Nice Hotel on one flour of an old house near the main station. Room are nice and clean. As Breakfast is only "Italian-Style" available, which means some sweet peaces and cakes. The prices are high, but this seems normal for Rome.

6.4

Da war nur ein Hotel-Haus mit 5 bis 6 Hotels, auf jeder Etage eines. - Gemessen an dem Preis des Zimmers ein dürftiges Frühstück mit abgezählten Brötchen, Marmelade. Kein Fleisch, keine Butter. Ansonsten die Zimmer-Qualität für die Innenstadt-Lage annehmbar. Allerdings wieder mal, wie oft in Rom sehr düster. Ausblick, falls man die Rolladen hochgemacht hätte nur in einen düsteren Innenhof.

8.4

Very clean functional rooms, recently redone. The 'single' rooms are tiny, but otherwise excellent.

9.7

The Argentina is a convenient hotel: close to Termini station and handy to a number of good cafes and restaurants. Despite being on Via Cavour, we did not find street noise a problem. As to the Hotel, the reception staff were very friendly, very informative and always willing to answer any questions we had about sightseeing, shopping, etc. The room itself was a good size, very clean and the airconditioning was very effective (thank goodness!). Overall, we were very happy with the place, which represented good value for money.

8.9

Posizione centrale, ideale sia per le vacanze che per lavoro. colazione un poco scarsa ma per il prezzo della stanza andava comunque più che bene. ci tornerò sicuramente sia per vacanza che per lavoro
