Hotel Contilia - Rome

Very practical location for visiting the city. Welcoming staff, small but nice rooms, a quite decent breakfast ! Some drawbacks: very low water pressure in the shower, no wireless internet access in the room, and a bit noisy at night (but still tolerable)

Very convenient close to transport and main attractions. Staff was very friendly and willing to help. The room was clean,fresh and confortable. Will come back to this hotel again good value for money. Highly recommend.

Very convenient location near termini stazione. wonderful staffs, very helpful and friendly. breakfast was ok. i will go back to this hotel for next time to stay in rome too :)

Quiet room on internal courtyard, smelled of mould, lacked air, open the window! Lovely staff, convenient to station, super-hot shower, too bad it leaked. Worth the price we paid, it being Rome.

The room was very small, but let's be honest it's Rome and things are very expensive. It was nice to be near Termini Train Station for when we left, but the location is dismal. (Super shady characters around).

Overall, an excellent stay! Particularly the welcoming with Limoncello (as requested during registration) was to our full satistaction! Thumbs up, this is an amazing hotel with great service!

The hotel is good and located very near to the Roma Termini. I use it periodically. Diadvantage: WI-Fi Internet is slow and very unstable

The staff wasn't very friendly at all. The rooms were clean but depressing decor. The continental breakfast was tasteless. This hotel was not worth the money we payed.

Nice hotel with a great locaton for the price. I stay at a different hotel every year and this will be one I will visit again next year as it was a good value and a nice clean well appointed facility. Thanks Hotel Contilia Joseph

Exactly what we expected, Clean,comfortable,but basic enough. Friendly staff with good english.Continental Breakfast (no hot food). But this hotel is all about location...5 mins from main Rome terminus for Train, Metro and Buses making seeing Rome's sights easy.

Very standard hotel. We stayed 3 nights, and each morning, breakfast consisted of only lots of pastries, some cereal, and 1 yogurt choice. No fruits, nothing hot. If you like a lot of carbs, breakfast there is probably good, but variety very lacking. Hotel room was very spacious, though bathroom was a bit small. Corner shower was fine so long as you're not a bigger person. Staff was friendly, though not enthusiastic. Good location - very close to Termini if you want to train. We walked everywhere though and nothing seemed too far. While it is "central" in Rome, it is on the far east side of most of the tourist sites, so just keep that in mind. All in all, decent value & hotel, but nothing too special or exciting.

Room a bit small. rest is fine.

The hotel was basically exactly what we were expecting and then some. The room was nice size and comfortable. The breakfast area was big and there was a good selection. Good wireless internet, and Michael at the front desk was very helpful. Good location near Termini. Our only complaint was that the bath towels were extremely thin (like a table cloth), but they did get the job done.

Great hotel, great location,great staff, great price and superb breakfast!!

I was satisfied with room, staff, and all facilities. The location is close to Termini station (train, metro, access to FCO airport). The city center (Colosseum etc.) is far a bit on walk.

It was my first stay in Rome and also the first stay at the Hotel Contilia. I want to recomand this Hotel to everybody who will travel to Rome the first time. Friendly and perfect service, clean and quiet rooms and top located. I have checked a lot of Hotels @ internet before, but in my opinion, the relationship between price and quality is top!

The location for this hotel is great IF you need to be close to the Termini for quick train, metro and bus access. It's an OK stay for a couple of days, or if you need an overnight stay between rail trips. I have previously stayed in the Kennedy Hotel, which has superior acommodations at a similar price range and location.

Perfect location (close to train and metro station); nice breakfast (though 7:30 opening time was a little later than we would have liked); a clean, well decorated, convenient room (if a little small); friendly and helpful people at the front desk. I would not hesitate to recommed this hotel to anyone and would stay there again if in Rome.

A lot of noise during the night (4 hour people speaking like the day)

The hotel is excellent because of its proximity to Termini station. Room was very comfortable and all facilities were of a good standard. Breakfast was ample and the staff was helpful. There are many restaurants nearby and all major highlights can be reached easily with the Metro from the station. Excellent value for money. I would recommend it.

The Hotel is very well located, just few minutes walk from Termini station. The rooms are quiet and a bit dark (good if you want to rest also during the day) but this is a disadvantage if you need to work. Overall, the service was good but there was a persistent bad smell coming from the toilets.

Very close to termimi trainstation , room is clean but small, ideal if you are staying in rome to to travel by train

Second time I stay at Contilia. Good place, nice staff, pleasantable rooms and good breakfast.

"Contilia" is a good hotel. Next time I will try to stay there.

We only stay 3 days to Rome and 2 night to Contilia. The room was clean and enought spacious for us. Employee are very nice. Maybe it could have one more cover in the room and some more documentations regarding visits to do, the transports, pass access... Otherwhise, everything was perfect, we will come back to Rome and to the Contilia.

This was the first time to stay at Contilia. I was travelling alone. The hotel is very convenient for the rapid traveller using railroad, as the hotel is within about 5 minute walk. The bathroom is particularly narrow and a towel for bidet was not provided. The street around the hotel is messy. The hotel is appropriate for the rapid traveller arriving in the late evening and leaving in the morning of the next day, especially by train. The hotel is not appropriate for those who enjoy the stay in Roma for tourism.

Probably one of the best price/quality near the train station of Roma. We had a large clean, renovated and quit room.(302) Will come back at this place with no hesitation.

I needed a room close to the station to fall into to recover from a long haul international flight and then leave early the next morning by train to Firenze. I chose Contilla for price and convenience to Termini. I was pleasantly surprised. Miquel - on reception was very welcoming and helpful, my room was cool, dark and quiet even though the windows opened onto the street. The breakfast was continental but still good range of choices. I had free internet access in my room. I enjoyed my brief stay and felt it was good value for money.

My first impression was a feeling of a dirty room. It was dirty on the wallpapers made of clothes. The lamp was broken and a lot of hole from a cigarette on the clothes covering the bed. The mirror in the toilette was not cleaned. The price is very high and a the standard is low.

Rooms, lift and shower really small, but similar compared to most italian hotels. Location is great within walking distance of most services and Termini.

Good localization near the main station , friendly staff , poor breakfast . The rooms and the bathrooms are very small but the air conditioned is very potent . I recomend .

Getting to and from the Rome airport is incredibly expensive if you have to lug more than an overnight bag, and/or have physical issues which make it difficult to get up and down flights of Metro stairs. Staying near Termini, the central railway station is then a viable option. The Contilia is quite 20th century (large cloths rather than towels and no overhead shower fitting) but impeccably clean. The Wifi is dodgy and may exist but we were unable to decipher the misprinted password. We also had to check out prior to breakfast so have no experience of that.

As mentioned by Venere and quoted by others travelers, this hotel is very good quality. In room the cooling system is efficient, you have minibar, and the bathroom is very clean. No problem with sounds, inside the hotel and from the street also. It is at 2 min from the train station and 5 min from the coliseo and other major touristics site... I recomend this hotel. Last point, the price negociated by Venere is very good when regarding prices in the hotel.

Good location, only the bathroom was very small

Location of the hotel close to Termini station really good, however surrandings are not so nice due to a lot of immigrants. Staff friendly and helpful. 3-bed room OK, but not so big. Breakfast needs some improvement. Good restaurants nearby, especially Aquila Nera on the same street. Definitely hotel worth money you pay. Next time I will also choose this one.

Le point faible de cet hotel est le petit déjeuner. Il y a des améliorations à faire. (Pas de fruits, qu'une sorte de pain, pas d'oeufs ni yoghurt etc...)

Familienausflug nach Rom (8 Personen), gute Lage zu allen Sehenswürdigkeiten trotz Bahnhofviertel,Frühstücksraum zu klein und Angebot dürftig, sonst ist das Hotel sehr zu empfehlen, da die Zimmer großteils ruhig in Innenhöfe gehen.

Good location near the train station; well kept hotel

We were very happy with the facility and staff.

We were returning from an overseas trip, and need one comfortable night in Rome before heading home. First time at Contilia, we were given a spacious suite with (joy of joys!)a large spa bath! Brilliant after 3 weeks in India. A delicious breakfast next morning too. We would definitely choose this hotel again.

A good hotel for a trip to Rome. Only quality of breakfast was poor. Overall, a good price to quality ratio.

Hotel room was quite small for all the other hotels we've stayed at throughout our many trips to Rome. Shower water was not very hot. Otherwise if you want a relatively convenient place close to the train station, it was alright, but not very comfortable.

The location is great if your main concern is to be close to the train station. The surroundings of the hotel are fine but the immediate vicinity of the train station is quite dodgy at night. The personnel at front desk was friendly and helpful. Not the same with the personnel in the breakfast room: noisy, moody and not even acknowledging a simple "Buon giorno". Although breakfast was included, I skipped the breakfast after the second day, partly because of the unpleasant staff and partly because of the awful coffee (coffee from a machine, in Italy!?!?). All my other hotels were serving fresh espresso. I had two separate stays in this hotel and each time, the rooms were very clean but very, very small. The second room had a double bed but I don't see how the luggage of two persons would have fit in that room. Poor heating, it took two days for the second room to get to a reasonable temperature. Likely a nice place to stay in Summer, not so much in Winter, but a fairly good quality for the very reasonable price if you don't mind a small room. Fast wireless internet is available in the rooms.

The only complaint (and a very minor one) was the sounds of the pigeons nesting next to the room - they started a little earlier than we had intended on getting up ... but a much more pleasant awakening that the alarm clock.

Nice staff. Specially the receptionist guy in the morning. Good room and nice shower. Breakfast is nice

I will recomend Hotel Contilia to all my friends.

We were two middle aged couples spending some time in Rome before joining a cruise from Civitavecchia. The proximity to the Termini Railway station and Ciampino bus drop off was excellent. The hotel was surrounded by excellent eating places and was near to both bus and metro for sightseeing. We will certainly be back.

Hotel Contilia is the answer to those of us who are looking for a comfortable acommodation at an affordable price. Everything was as expected. The one thing you shouldn´t forget about this hotel is that it is a three stars. It is close to everithing, and most importan it is just metres away from Termini station. We did not spend much time in the hotel, we just wanted a place to stay, clean and quiet. And that was what we found. The receptionists were polite and gave answer to all our doubts about Rome. Next time we go to Rome we´ll be back at this Hotel.

The hotel is good for the price. The location is good.It is close to the train station.Some cheap restaurants close to the Hotel. I would come back.

Hotel Contilia is in a good location for the independent traveller. We arrived by train and walked to the hotel. The major blip was that the instructions from Venere were incorrect. Luckily one of our party had been there before and thought something was wrong. Three of us stood on a street corner with luggage while the fourth scouted the area and discovered we needed to turn left, not right as in the instructions! The hotel was very close to one of the stops for the hop-on, hop-off buses, which made it easy for sightseeing. A taxi fare to the airport for 4 of us plus luggage was only 40 euros. The manager on duty when we arrived was excellent and very helpful, but others were not as friendly or knowledgeable. The single room sizes were small. There was not much room to walk around. I would not have wanted to spend a lot of time in the hotel room but it was fine for a 2-3 day break. There was more space in my friends' double room. The only cleanliness issue was the floor. I walked around barefoot after a shower and found dust balls all over my feet!

This was our first stay at Hotel Contilia. We stayed for 3 nights. It was very close to the Termini Station and some nice restaurants closeby. At night the front of the hotel seemed to be a hang out which made us feel uncomfortable at times. Breakfast was okay - basic - enough to start our day - coffee not good. My family didn't like the linen towels, but I thought they did dry you up well. Great restaurant closeby - Aquila Nera.

It's surprised that the hotel provide free hotspot(WiFi) at the lobby! The staff are friendly & helpful.

Room and staff ok. It was fine to stay there.

I booked room for 4 people and was very impressed since it had been renovated. It was very clean and comfortable. Great location and it was quiet during the 4 days that I stayed with my family. Elevators are very small and the breakfast that was included was more like continental. The only suggestion that I would make is to have a different menu in order to have variety . It was a great vacation and the location was excellent. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

We were pleasantly surprised that Hotel Contilia was a luxurious hotel with spacious, clean rooms, excellent air conditioning and friendly service. For the amount we paid, we expected a much more low-budget hotel. We stayed in various hotels in Italy during our holiday and Hotel Contilia was by far the best value for money and the most comfortable time of our tour.

Request double bed and room before but hotel allocated triple room with single bed to us finally. This is unexpected. Moreover, hotel room facilities are quiet old. Small television, very cold air-conditional (uncontrollable), Poor washroom (small & dirty). Then, inconvenience and unsafety about room key as we need to left down the key in reception when we go out by everytime but hotel staffs will not identify ID when we go back to hotel and request room key. Location quiet near Milano central station as around 5 mins by walk and easy to find it but hotel surroundings so poor and dirty. Hotel has to provide free wi-fi for PC notebook user. This is convenience.

Excellent location - about four or five minutes walk from the Rome Termini, and within walking distance to the Colosseum and Roman forum (if youre fit!). On arrival, the receptionist tried to get us to move to another hotel of theirs, which was very strange and not welcome after a full day of travelling. We tried to ascertain whether the hotel was overbooked and that was why they were trying to move us, but the receptionist was very coy and not answering properly. We were starting to get very annoying, especially as it was after 7pm and we really didnt want to go to another hotel, especially as we had booked the Contilia based on the venere.com recommendations and information. After checking into our room FINALLY, it was very small, but sufficient for our needs as we spent most days out and about. Breakfast was very poor, stale rolls and cereals, and very hard to get a cup of tea. The juice was just flavoured water. Otherwise this is a great hotel just for the location - there is also an amazing restaurant across the road called Ristorante Alfredo - fantastic service and food.

They sent us to their other hotel called LA LUMIERE, the area was much better, but it was not very clean and the breakfast was not good. I would not book this hotel again. The pictures were not the actual reality.

This room reeked of bleach on arrival,dark,dirty beds and located in a undesirable area. very noisy but close to the train station.

We walked to most major landmarks in Rome. We only took the Metro to the Vatican to get there for a timed entry in the morning. It's very convenient to the train station. We never felt the area was unsafe. The breakfast was adequate, the rooms were fine. I was with grown children. The staff were friendly and helpful. We would stay there again.

The hotel about the price is very good. The room was very big, clean the bathroom alo clean. The breakfast can be better in future. It was not to be first time in Rome and we know very well saround of the hotels. The hotels is near to all beauthiful monuments. If we come again in Rome we will chose again this hotel Also we will recomended to all our friends that will come in Rome. Family from Skopje,Macedonia Febryary, 2008

We stayed in Hotel Contillia in Feb 2008, The weather was very good, an Rome was not so crouwded as in the Summer. The hotel was very well located very near to the termini Station, Our bedroom was comfortable, spotless and Very spacious for Rome, the breakfeast buffet was Breakfast was plentiful but basic, an egg occasionally wood be nice for a chance. Lots of good restaurants in the surrounding area, But Trattoria Angelo, on the way to Termini, was the very best, extremly frindy staff, good prices, big portions, we eat there almost every evening during our stay and on the last day my Wife get a very big portion from something she liked very much, to take home to Belgium, FOR FREE. If you go there tell them we recomented them to you, and give them our regardts. Overall, a very good Hotel, not the real low Buget, but real Quality for a fear price, I really will stay there again next time I visit Rome And If you pay Chash you get 5 % Discount, You just have to ask for it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as it is very good value for money and close to the main station. Plenty of restaurants in the area. The only downside was that the directions from the station are incorrect as there is a right turn where it should be left.

We had a really nice stay at the Contilia. Roma is a wonderful city...

Very acceptable and reasonable pricing. Good location close to station but away from main roads and noise

We were a party of 6 seniors and we all enjoyed our stay at the Contilia very much. Good location, handy for all transport services and restaurants. Michel on reception deserves a mention as his help enhanced our stay.

Pro: very convenient to the train station for a early departure. Con: Room was NOT as pictured on the web page. I booked 2 other rooms for accompaning travelers that were as pictured. However one was a suite and one other was a room as pictured. We ALL paid the same amount for 3 totally different rooms. Our room was sparcely decorated, old furniture, no decorator touches like crown moulding or a remodeled bath. We spoke to the reception desk and he said the other rooms were a suite and a superior room. If this IS the case, Contilia should not supply photos without explaining these are NOT what you get for 155 euros! All 3 rooms cost 155 euros. They made no compensation and was not able to contact the manager before we left for the train at 5:45am. I WOULD NOT stay here again

Close to Termini.Stinks from WC.Tv out of order.Price vs quality-poor.I will never be in this hotel again.

The hotel was extremely handy for Termini station (we arrived by train from Naples) and thus for Ciampino airport as we were able to get a coach to airport within 10 mins walk of hotel. Our bedroom was comfortable, spotless and fairly spacious. Staff were courteous and helpful and spoke good English. Breakfast was plentiful but basic. We would recommend the hotel.

We had a lovely stay here. Though the room was small, it was still sufficient and everything about the hotel was just excellent. Location is fantastic and well accessible. I would definitely stay here again

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Contilia. One gentleman on reception was always particularly helpful. The noise from the street was bustly but not annoying. The hotel itself was very quiet. Breakfast was a bit basic. Would have liked an egg occasionally. Overall excellent value for money.

Hotel overall good for the price you get. Within good walking distance from most of the sites. Very close to main station - v useful for bus transfers from airport and metro to vatican. Breakfast not great but adequate, bath very small and bed hard. Rooms clean and pleasant and staff friendly and helpful.

Location, location. It was great,near the train station,and also the end of all the bus lines. You could easily walk to all the major attractions if you choose to. I was concerned because it was so close to the train station but I found it to be a great hotel. We'd use it again.

The Contilia was easy to find from Termini and other than the air conditioning not working adequately and the mattress firmer than I'm used to, I enjoyed my stay at the Contilia. Michael did an excellent job of arranging for a mini-van to take us to Fiumicino before 7 a.m. I would recommend staying at this hotel to other people.

Its location in Rome is very good, very close to the rail station of Termini and the bus central station, and close to the heart of the historic town. The hotel is confortable and clean. Perhaps the streets around the hotel are not very nice but this can be forgotten if one walk and visit the near basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. If in future I would go back to Rome I think I would repeat.

Totaly satisfied enough. Room and facilitis are clean. Service is good and friendly. But Soundproof of rooms is not good.

We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this friendly hotel. The only negative point i can think of is it was noisey if the window was left open, but perhaps every hotel in Italy is. ;o)

No doubt Contilia is a very good hotel. Very good price (only 80 euros) for such standard. Three years ago I came to Roma and stayed in several hotels (3 stars) which gave me an impression than all Roma hotels are below standard. It is Contilia that changed my bad impression. It's easy to find (may be because this the second time to visit Roma) and is closed to everything. The Roma central station is just within 5 minutes' walking distance. There is a small supermarket around where you can buy water and wine. Breakfast is good, if not the best. Our room rests on the fifth floor and is facing the main street, yet very quiet at night.

The hotel room was comfortable albeit a bit small. All linens were clean. The hotel staff is willing to assist guests readily.

Before my husband arrived - I felt quite unsafe in the evening as the area around the hotel appears to be a red light area.

Generally a very pleasant hotel. Initial welcome from reception staff of some concern, but for the remainder of the stay they were very friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious and clean, and the decor felt quite luxurious, although the water pipes behind the walls were rather noisy. Some concerns about the standard of housekeeping service (things moved, cupboards were opened), but nothing serious. Breakfast was quite poor, it could be more varied and of better quality. The area was not one of the nicest in Rome, but we never felt unsafe, and proximity to the train station (with metro and bus stop) was very convenient. We would recommend this hotel, it was definitely worth the price.

We had a very pleasant stay in your hotel but the quality of the matras in our bed wasn't so good. Thats the only thing that good be better.

The main issue is that I (and another person from my tour who had also booked at the Contilia) was asked to stay in another hotel - the Serena. After being dropped off at the Contilia hotel by our van we went in to register only to be told that we had to walk with our bags a block or so to another hotel. While the Serena was nice I had no idea whether the rates were compatable. The staff at the Serena were pleasant and helpful - they arranged a cab for me to arrive for a very early flight at the airport. the rooms were very clean and pleasant.

The rooms were extremely small with no space for luggage but were very clean and adequate. Our only complaint were the garbage dumpsters that lined the street outside the hotel.

Our room had obviously been recently renovated. It was the cleanest place we stayed at on our 2 week trip in Italy. A very nice room and very quiet. The hotel is very convienent, only a few blocks from the terminal and metro. While the neighborhood was a little run down, it was safe.

The bathroom is kind of small.

Great location. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Alas it was a very small room and impossibly tiny shower.

Hotel Contilia was an excellent choice. Very rarely can one find a three star hotel in Rome for this price. The room was quite small, but very clean and nicely decorates. The staff was very helpfull.

The hotel Contilia and the staff are wonderful and really made a good holiday into a WONDERFUL holiday the area is quite cosmapolitan, more young and trendy and lively with lots of locals rather than in the middle of the tourist areas.... but within easy reach to Everything, this hotel would cost an absolute fortune if in a more Affluent area, the area seemed very friendly and SAFE, even late at night..... with plenty of shops, places to eat ( I had the best Pizza ever just a couple of doors away) and a Laundrette and supermarket and banks all just a few steps away......... so i would highly recommend it, to ANY visitors to rome

The hotel was reasonable for the price. We are a family 2 adults + 2 children aged 10 & 12. We had a quad room so were a little squashed with 4 beds in the room, a sofa bed would have been better. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were cleaned every day, with fresh towels provided. The rooms were a little shabby and dark, not helped by single overhead lighting, and small repairs needed in places eg shower holder broken, bed surround broken. It appeared the hotel was being improved while we were there (new fire doors being fitted), but there was no intrusive building noise. The rooms were very quite, helped by the hotel being in a side road. The breakfast was sufficient - cereal, rolls, croissant, ham, cheese, jams, milk, tea, coffee. The bar area was bare with a few tables and chairs, to the side of the reception, so not easy to relax in. The hotel location was good for tourists: close to main train terminal and metro and plenty of places to eat. Overall, we were visting Rome for three nights site seeing and wanted to keep costs down so this was suitable for our needs.

Contilia is a nice hotel, the hotel's location to the Termini being it's most attractive quality. The standard of the rooms was very good and the staff very welcoming. We enjoyed a pleasant stay in the Contilia.

It is lovely hotel, with wonderful staff and hotel. Made our last night in Rome wonderful.

Single room, small but nicely furnished. Bathroom very clean but TINY! toilet almost inaccessible against wall. Otherwise a good review. Close to station & metro a plus.

It was a nice hotel situated pretty good. We are very satisfied with our stay in Rome and at Hotel Contilia. I will recommend this hotel to my friends.

The location of the hotel is excellant for site seeing as you are located beside Termini where you can get both metro lines and all local buses. The rooms are cleaned every day and the area has a good choice of places to eat at reasonable prices. And if you are looking for somewhere to stay at a reasonable price which won't blow your budget so you can spend the rest on food & drink I'd recommend this Hotel.

I am happy to have now a good reference for my next trip to Rome. It is a shame not to have such a hotel on other cities too. Only one thing to say. It is a good reference.

Thank you! Our stay in Roma was very pleasant. Hotel Contilia was very convenient for us -- near both the trainstation and subway. We also appreciated the 5% discount for paying with cash.

Contilia is a very clean hotel with very good and polite staffing. The staff tried to answer all of our questions. Contilia does have a small lift for your luggage which is very helpful. The room was very small with a very firm bed. On the other hand, it looks great and the bathroom is nice with a small shower. The location is 5-8 minutes from Termni and 15-20 minutes from Colosseum and other main attractions. My general review, Contilia is a very nice place with nice people in a decent location. They earn their three stars.

A pleasant central hotel, convenient to the local transport with easy access to airport and historical points of interest. Breakfast was served in pleasant surroundings and was always fresh.

The staff were very friendly and could not have been more helpful. I would certainly have no hesitation about returning.
