Hotel Caravaggio - Rome

9.1

The bathroom had mildew and it was quite strong. This is really the only thing,I don't know if it is all rooms or just that particular room.

7.7

This was our 1st stay at the Hotel Caravaggio. We had a pleasant stay.The staff were friendly and helpful,our room was comfortable and nicely decorated and the location is very convenient to many Rome attractions.The bathroom could use some updating.The tub you have to step over to get in the shower is very high, which could be a problem for some.

9.5

Very nice hotel near Santa Maria Maggiore, Roma Opera House, Diocletianus' Thermae, Fori Traiani, Vittoriano etc Also rellative near Fontana dei Trevi, San Pietro in Vincoli Colosseo and Forum Romanum.

9.7

It was in a great location for sight-seeing, everything was withtin walking distance including the train station. The room was excellent and quiet at night. The staff were very helpful and the free bus tour was a bonus.

8.4

The hotel is very nice. The bedrooms are very good, but the breakfast is a little bit poor! they could offer cheese, at least! But for the price, location (that is great), I would recommend this hotel!

My husband and I were in Rome for vacation. I picked Caravaggio based on location, price and user reviews. The room was very small, but we didn't spend much time there. The bed was VERY hard, but didn't bother us too much. The bathroom was quite small as most are in Italy. We had a very pleasant stay and the 24 hour front desk was very helpful.

It was a St. Valentine´s day when I arrived at the Hotel Caravaggio. In my room there were some small presents for this occasion. I think this hotel takes really care on the guests. The room was fit up perfectly, everything worked well (TV, heating, bathroom), the service was perfect (wake up call on time, rich breakfast in nice breakfastroom, booking of tickets for Borghese Gallery and table reservation in my favorite restaurant). They sell the tickets for the public transport too, so you do not need to loose your time. I wery appreciated the possibility to use the pc with a free wi-fi connection. In the evening you can relax during the happy hour snack offered on the reception, you can borrow some book from their rich library. I will sure come back one day because here I have found the perfect accommodation and service for the right price, directly in the historical centre of this beautiful city.

4.6

Room smelt of cigarette smoke, very dark and peeling wallpaper - felt damp. Shower falling off it's handle.

4.6

We asked the hotel staff to meake a reservation for dinner at La Pergola, two days after when we went to La Pergola at Hotel Cavalliere now one had made a reservation. They phoned to our hotel but no one knew anything, very embarising for us. Took us long time and cost us a lot of money for nothing.

9.9

I've stayed just one night, but we were really happy to stay there. Since we arrived at the hotel the staff welcomed us with smile and we were informed everything that we wanted to know about Rome. The location is very good, walking distance to almost important sightseeing points and to the Termini station. We were invited also to the "happy hour" with some snacks, drinks, aperitifs in the evening at the reception (how beautiful it is.) during that we relaxed as we were at home talking with the hotel staff like a friend. The morning after we were served very delicious cappuccinos and fresh croissants by the getle young lady. we were sorry to leave that lovely place after one night. We are sure to go back to Hotel Caravaggio and recommend it to everybody who will go to Rome.

The hotel was a very convenient place to stay. At the reception alone they’ve provided me already a detailed city map with road index and metro lines table and the receptionist was well prepared in explaining to me how to reach easily all the places I wished to visit. The room welcomed me with its nicely decorated wall, flat TV with channels availble in different languages such as english, french, spanish, german and italian. The bathroom provides a complete comfort too, towels were briliant white and there was a shampoo, soap, shower cup, hairdryer, too. Most importantly, the room is very quite, suitable for those who would like to spend their vacation resting. On my check-out time, since i’d still had some time to go around before my departure, I could even deposit my luggage after checkingout, for all the day and free of charge! I can say that they do they work professionally where they have given me a five star treatment for a three star hotel price!

7.0

In considerazione della zona il rapporto qualità prezzo è molto buono chiaro non è un hotel 5 stelle ma si sta!

6.3

Positives: clean, comfortable, well located and welcoming. On the down side: shower was excellent but only if you got in quick for the hot water; breakfast was average; overpriced at New Year; rather small room.

6.5

Une petite halte sympa en plein coeur de Rome, bien pratique pour ceux qui veulent passer plus de temps dehors que dedans; un accueil d'une extrême gentillesse.

6.3

Small single room, 5.5ft x 16ft, so small, but was very clean, and close to the Termini and metro

1.7

There is no correpondence between price and quality in totala aspects. In 12 visits to Europe this was the first oporttunity that I feel Iwas robbed paying 50 euros more per night against other hotels The rooms were dirty and with humidity and with bad smell coming from sewers

7.7

Overall it is an average hotel. It barely met expectations, and the shower was extremely small. Luckily we are slim people, but if you are not (or you are very tall), it would be problematic. It is very close to the train station and Trevi Fountain (10 minute walk).

2.1

terrible experience

9.3

I am an American who lives in Rome, but needed to be out of my apartment for a week. For a single person staying alone I recommend the Caravaggio. My room had a small terrace and plenty of space for my things, and it had clearly recently been renovated. There was one small thing, which was that the shower leaked water onto the bathroom floor in a very mysterious and peculiar way (when the shower was on there was a leak from another corner of the bathroom). The manager said that he would look into it. I imagine that it was a result of the room being brand new, as all of the rooms on my floor were. I have mentioned noise above, and although isolated from the street I could hear my neighbors snoring. It was very conveniently located in terms of where I needed to go, although the area is very touristy, and so it is hard to find quality/authentic food without a bit of a walk. I have compromised by putting an "8" for "surroundings" above, as I am well aware that someone who was actually a tourist might find the location more suited to their needs. All in all, I was very pleased with my stay at the Caravaggio, and I would stay there again.

4.7

OK location, very small, but clean room. Had expected more facilities in 3 stars hotel.

4.1

Hotel Caravaggio did not meet my standard. I do not consider it a hotel, but a B&B, because it's located in a residential building on the 2nd floor. I find the photographs on the web pages misleading.

2.5

The worst hotel experience ever!

5.8

It was nice and clean, but the toilet did not work,begun to flush with a lot of noice in the middle of the nightand wake me up,or did not work at all.I told the man in reception,but it was not repaired before the day I left,thought I should have a refund?

5.2

Sir/Madam First I thought we had booked for three roooms, but was told on arrival that we had actually booked four. This is possible, and I did not check the confirmation sent out to me so I must assume some of the blame for this. Secondly, there was a dirty ashtray left in our room. Not major I know, but you don't expect to see it in a "fresh" room. Thirdly, there was no remote control for the TV in our room. Dissapointing, but not crucial. Fourthly, the hotel did not take credit cards. As I booked and reserved the rooms via the internet and a credit card number was taken as surety I was most upset to know that when I came to pay the bill I then had to go back in to the streets to find a bank from which I could withdraw 640 Euros. A good job my bank is understanding. Fifth, on entering the shower parts of the door frame fell off. I was assured it was fixed but the same thing kept happening. Sixthly only two of the five light bulbs worked. These were replaced in short order. We were told by the concierge that they would try to let the "overbooked" room during the weekend so that we would not have to pay for it. On the evening of our arrival I overheard one of the newly arrived guests announce that they had come for the "cancelled" room. On checking out we were still charged for the extra room. As we were then asked to pay in cash it was suspicious. I have no proof and I am not making any allegations but looking at it from an objective point of view it does appear to raise questions. In all the hotel is OK, small rooms and small dining area and it is on the first floor so there is a flight of steps to contend with each visit or a small cranky lift that accommodates 1 person and a suitcase. Otherwise be prepared to get some exercise!

9.1

nice cosy and clean, no view ,its one floor in a building, no special entrance as in the photo that is a adjacent resturant but thats not a problem, nice simple breakfast. recommend it any time.

2.8

The web site description of this hotel, in relation to the actual property is false! It appeared to be a hostel, a bad hostel! There is no lobby, no dining, no wine store, nothing!! Disgusting dirty old men who were pretending to run what they call a hotel! We stayed one night in our cigarette burned bed and left as fast as we could the very next morning and found other accomodations. This is the first time we used Venere.com and will promise to never do so again. Please remove this hotel from your website, It would be a great shame if anyone else should travel to such a beautiful city such as Rome to be subjected to this place!

6.9

The hotel was fine. It is more like a home-hotel than a real hotel. You have to leave the key when you go out, but there is always someone to open the front door even late. The rooms are not super big, but it's Rome and everything is small there, so no surprise. The hotel was clean. The rooms are fairly quiet as it is not on a very busy street, but you can hear outside and even the neighbors, but it was not an issue for us.

6.9

I found it very strange that there we not any tea/coffee making facilities in the room. Also, there was a loud rumbling noise coming from the above residence in the early evening and first thing in the morning that kept us awake and also woke us early.

8.1

An excellent location with comfortable room. Breakfast finished a bit early for my liking (0930). Hotel much nicer on the inside than it appears from the outside.

6.3

perfect welcoming and staff but some improvements in deco ans public areas (staircase)could be done

6.5

Our room was close to the reception area and as there was no curfew throughout the night we would hear the doorbell ring and then a sharp buzzing noise when the receptionist activated the remote door opener. We did try to close the fire door between our room and the reception area to suppress noise levels but people kept leaving it open. So we did not sleep well the whole 3 day stay. Apart from this the room was quite large and clean, bathroom was fine and hotel staff helpful. Breakfast was also pretty good for an Italian hotel. So I would recommend but make sure you're not placed on the same level as the reception (1st floor).

9.7

I recommend this hotel very highly to anyone going to Rome. The location was excellent, the staff courteous, and very helpful. The location was excellent very central to everything in Rome.

6.5

a very small bathroom, but the rest quite ok

7.9

In general the visit was pleasant and as we expected, but we would like to have the room floor vacuumed more often (it was quite dusty...)

2.7

We were disapointed by the hotel. It did not appear to be 3 star as advertised. There is a common entrance into the building of which the 'hotel' appears to be a small section. The cleaner forgot the broom in our room on one occasion. The rooms were not as shown in the photographs. Breakfast is meant to start at 7.30, but was not ready till 8.00 on the only day we were to leave early. We did not feel we got the worth of what we paid. The payment was taken on arrival!! We plan to write to the Italian Tourism to highlight these points.

6.1

I recently stayed in this hotel, and I would not stay here again. The hotel itself was ok. The rooms were clean, the breakfast was moderate, and the AC was very good, but the location was terrible. You have to buzz the hotel to let you in the door, then you have to go up a flight of stairs (or take the world's smallest elevator) to the second floor to check in. The hotel isn't near any of the major sites, and is a little bit of a walk to the closest metro. For my next trip to Rome, I would definitely stay in a hotel which is much closer to the "action" in rome, and get away from the Termini area. The hotel is too expensive for it's location, so I will stay elsewhere next time. Just my 2 cents.

3.8

This hotel is overpriced, even in Rome, for the quality of the services offered.

5.6

We were fine with our stay at the Caravaggio in Rome June of 2002 but we were recently charged for a hotel room in February 2003 that we never even stayed in. It is currently being disputed with American Express because we haven't left the United States since last year. I am hoping this is a mistake on the part of the hotel and that they are not trying to take advantage of us and mis-using our credit card number to supplement their income.

5.2

We were pleased with the cleanliness of the rooms, but there was a lot of noise coming from the flats that were just opposite out window. We didn't feel that the breakfast was sufficient and the beds were uncomfortable, but apart from this, we were pleased with the accomodation. However, we do feel that it was a little bit expensive for the basic accomodation that we received.

2.2

The website photos did not give a true representation of the hotel. The entrance to the Hotel was dark badly decorated and very unwelcoming. We never shown around the Hotel or offered any facilities, in fact we only saw two rooms, our bedroom and the reception. The central heating did not come on until 20.00, consequently our room was very cold. Not a happy stay.

8.7

One remark:the hotel sent a taxi to the Ciampino airport to pick us up : € 67,00 We ourselves took a return taxi at Termini station to Ciampino airport : € 23,00 The difference in price is too important.

7.8

This was a great hotel. Not extravagant, but worth the price that we paid. Very friendly service for the most part, and very helpful attitudes. I would recommend this place to others.

5.3

Under no circumstances would I consider this a 3 star hotel. The price was reasonable and location good, everything else was disappointing. There was no laundry / pressing service and an iron was refused me. Breakfast was poor. All ingredients were of the cheapest quality, not very nice. The maid did a good job, no problems there. And when I checked out it was relatively rude, just a matter of getting my money. At best, this was a 2 star hotel. I would hav no issue spending more money for a proper 3 star hotel - this place was greatly oversold.

8.4

It is a nice hotel located in an excellent position.

9.9

I'm a canadian business woman and I found this hotel perfect!!!! Location is really great... walking in few minutes I had could visit trevi's fontain, Colosseum, Piazza di Spagna, piazza venezia.... and with metro at 100m I made all my business works around the city. If I'll back in Italy I'd like stay here also because room is cute and staff is friendly and helpfull.... expecially Abi is always with smile and is beautiful begin a day with a smile!!!! Thanks a lot

4.2

The photos seriously flattered the hotel and the managament seemed to accept this as normal. Public areas very poor.

9.7

The Hotel Caravaggio is a quaint hotel with an excellent price and location. It was convenient (walking distance) to many of Rome's sights including The Forum, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and train station. It is located on a quite street yet one block from Via Nationale which included banks, stores and restaurants. Within a one week period in March 2002 we stayed two separate times. The first stay we had a nice large room with windows onto the main street. The second time we stayed the room was much smaller and the bathroom was tiny. But overall atmosphere made up for any inconvenience. The staff was cheerful, the breakfast pleasant and the rooms comfortable. I would stay at the Caravaggio again and recommend it. As a matter of fact, I did recommend it to four other friends who stayed in Rome and they enjoyed the stay as well.We were a group of gay friends (male and female) and we felt comfortable with the mix of clientele. Houston, Texas USA August 2002

9.7

I would gladly stay there again.

5.4

Staff very friendly and helpful. There may be other lovely rooms in the hotel but our room was not nice (room 102). 1 very small window looking out onto a dingy back yard.Breakfast absolutely disgraceful - everyone crammed into a tiny dark room, the waitress has to wash the dishes for breakfast in a sink in the same room, no room for a dish washer, no room for anything in fact. There is a big beautiful Centre area near the bedrooms - I suggest the owner invests some money in turning this into the breakfast area even if it means turning one of the bedrooms into a kitchen.
