Hotel De Petris - Rome

8.8

The elevator is very small! Breakfast in cold weather outside (with heater) was o.k. Good place for visiting Rome!

5.4

the room wasn't quiet at all. It will be usefull to choose a quiet room

7.4

I liked this hotel and recommend it

8.5

Hotel was a nice balance - basic & small rooms compared to American standards, but great location (we walked everywhere & enjoyed seeing the nearby Trevi Fountain on our return or beginning of each venture), nice & helpful staff that all spoke English, good breakfast, & internet is available. We had a lovely stay.

perfect!

For the past 7 years I've traveled to Italy twice a year, flying into Rome and staying anywhere from a few weeks to a few nights. I look for the best quality room at the best price in the best location. Generally rooms in this price range are dissappointing. But, Hotel De Petris Is A Find! This year I booked 2 single rooms. One for myself and my travel companion. When we arrived we were upgraded to double rooms for the single price. The rooms were totally restructured with all new finishes and furnishings. The airconditioning was the best of our entire trip, king sized bed most comfortable, rooms had large windows for light yet were quiet for sleeping. There was a flat screen tv in the bedroom and my room had an additional flatscreen in the bathroom. De Petris even allows access to the lobby's computer with internet free for up to 15 min. Jump on the opportunity to stay at Hotel De Petris while it's relatively new and unknown. It's very difficult to find affordable quality and location in this area of Rome. The hotel lobby is not posh or large but it is nice and the staff helpful. Bernini Fountain, Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navonna, Spanish Steps and Pantheon all a short walk. It is possible to walk to the train station depending on your stamina and the amount of baggage you bring. Taxi recommended for us older folk. Do not miss La Sacristia Pizzeria Restaurant near the Pantheon (closed Tuesday's). It's not a touristic rip off. The kitchen is clean and it's the best Cucina de Mama food in the area. The locals eat there And there is no cover charge added to the bill. Also good but pricier is Anthony's across from Hotel Pantheon and Nino's near Spanish Steps. Buon Vacanza!

7.2

It is in a great location. Room was spacious - however had worn carpeting - the room was not at all as on the web. Breakfast was very good. Elevator is very narrow - difficult to fit suitcases. Staff was great.

9.5

Chambre hors de l'hôtel, dans un vieil immeuble juste en face, mais entièrement refaite à neuf, de très belle façon, avec 1 petite terrasse ! Idéalement placé, près du métro et de la Fontaine de Trevi. Petit déjeuner correct, servi dans une cour intérieure. A recommander.

8.5

Nice place, well located

8.1

This was our first trip to Roma and we were informed by other friends that this hotel was reasonably priced and equiped with a recently new elevator.The main tourist sides are within walking distances and the nearby Metro and bus station are only 300 m from the hotel.The hotel provides only breakfast, which was excellent.

9.9

It was a beautiful hotel, the best one that we have stayed in so far in Italy! The location was only a 2min walk from the Trevi Fountain and the room was huge. There was a separate area that was almost like a small office. The breafast was very good. I would definitely come back to this hotel again.

8.4

Great location between Trevi and Spagna. Nice small restaurants in the neighborhood (try ec Hostaria Romana across the street!!) Not a luxury hotel, but good quality for the price. Nice breakfast, but be there early.

9.3

This was my second stay at the hotel. I regard it as probably the best value for money in the centre of Rome and have strongly recommended it to my friends.

8.7

Hotel muy bien ubicado a solo tres cuadras de la Fontana Di Trevi, muy buena zona de Roma. La habitación con agradable ambientación y excelente limpieza, baños nuevos y Tv LCD. Se destaca el desayuno, muy abundante y variado. Personal con muy buena predisposición y amable en el trato. Lo recomiendo. Cuando Vuelva a Roma me hospedaria en el mismo lugar sin dudas.

6.8

Hotel very convenient for City centre. Rooms clean but small and very noisy. Staff friendly and breakfast good. No internet in rooms and then had to pay for internet access in lounge which in this day and age is outrageous.

5.7

you cannot sleep if your your next door people won't.From our room we could hear every word they say in their room.very bad soung isolation.

8.8

Good location, walking distance to several sites. Personnel could have been friendlier upon arrival. Were helpful with directions. Parking is non existant at the property. Must use public garage about 15 minute drive but a only a 10 minute walk. Double room was okay, bed pillows were very flat. Nice breakfast. Request room away from the street side, street noise can be heard in room. Garmin GPS took us to the property as written directions can use improvement. Would stay there again.

8.9

It was not the first time in Rome but Hotel de Petris made this one very special. overall hotel was well located, about 10 min from fontaine de trevi. room was clean and very big. I was travelling with my 50's parents and we stayed in triple. it was very nice. interior is very modern and special. I recomend this hotel and will definetelly use De Petris next time.

8.8

Le camere sono confortevoli, pulite arredamento un po demodè. Personale competente e gentile. Parti comuni ristrutturate di recente e ben organizzate. La posizione è stupenda a due passi dalla Fontana di Trevi. Piazza di Spagna e Quirinale. Ben servito dai mezzi Pubblici Metro ed Autobus. Problematico e costoso il parcheggio auto.

8.3

I'm sure this will be our hotel in Rome for ever. Good and quit place, good price, good area and easy to go walking everywhere. The only 'bad' thing is the cleaning of the room: it needed more dedication, not just doing beds and baths.

5.2

Overall, De Petris was a good hotel. The rooms definitely need updating/cleaning. The staff were somewhat helpful (depending on the time of day). The location was great for seeing a good amount of sites in Rome.

7.6

Clientele: Tourists / visitors to see and study Rome and the different old buildings. Our first time at De Petris. The hotel needs a small bar serving coffee, drinks, snacs and perhaps a sandwich in the evening from 18.00 hour to 23.00 or 24.00 I think a "nightcup" would be nice for guests returning from their dinner outside the hotel.

8.6

This was our first visit to Rome and the hotel was ideal for seeing the city on foot as all sights were within walking distance. Thrilled with small sitting room adjoining bedroom. Bathroom clean and bright but shower cubicle was rather cramped. We had read that the hot water ran out in the mornings but it didn't for us! Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice and good coffee. The quaint little lift mentioned in previous reviews has been joined by a new sleek glass state of the art lift with lots of room. Staff efficient if a little punctilious. Housekeeping were confused by our return for a siesta in temperatures of 32 degrees! A great little convenient place to be based.

8.5

Hotel De petris was ideally situated. All of the major sights and attractions were all within walking distance and the hotel was in the middle of all of them. Our room was fabulous too! We think we were upgraded yet unsure why. We were given a room which has a split level, a sitting room above the bedroom. All very modern with 3 plasma t.v's in it no less. Bathroom was equally as good (t.v also)very modern and clean. Staff friendly/helpful yet not too gushy which I prefer, not false. Breakfast was plentiful and saw us right through til dinner which is astounding considering we covered about 16 miles on foot in a day. Only thing I would say is that breakfast room could do with updating a little but nothing that would stop us from returning. Our first visit to Rome and we really dropped on here I feel. Spanish steps, Trevi fountain and Pantheon are litterally on the doorstep. Can also recommend a lovely little restaurant on route to the Trevi Fountain from hotel called 'Taberna', nothing overated, just good pasta/pizza/value and friendly staff. House Red not bad either. If ever returning to Rome will have no hesitation to stay at the same hotel.

7.5

10 min walk to Trevi fountain. Staff very helpful with maps, tour info. Bathroom & bed ok by EU standards. Breakfast better than expected. AC didn't work but not a problem in May. Double pane glass really cut out street noise. Price charged was exact price quoted by Venere. Hotel doesn't have any large areas so photos don't convey the look very well. Still a nice looking property and I was very satisified.

4.9

Nice hotel but the price per night was too much, the breakfast so so, the shower very very tiny. The electricity went out one day, this meant: no elevator, no shower, no breakfast, still paid full price. Excelent location though.

6.4

We stayed with my mum in this hotel for 7 days. As a general rule in Italy, the lobby was impressive, but the room was not. Our beds had no proper springers and we had to wait for 5 minutes before getting warm water in the shower. It is very centrally located which was the main point for us. Very nice breakfast with an efficient staff. I would advise this hotel to people that are not too fussy when it comes to comfort and noise. For 90 Euros per night that was "OK", for 120 (non-reduced price) it would have been overpriced.

9.0

Location was Excellant! Walking distance to nearly everything, and the underground subway was nearby too. Breakfast was wonderful, and the rooms were very clean and newly decorated. The Showers seemed to run out of hot water in the mornings, so shower mid day or in the evening. We Highly reccommend Venere and the Hotel De Petris

7.5

Breakfast was unorganised and let the hotel down

7.2

My wife and I were on a 3 week trip to Italy. Our last stop was Rome. We thought Hotel De Petris was a great location for our needs. The room we had was big, but not what we expected! The room had just been remodeled, but not completed. There was a small mirror in the bathroom, very little lighting, and no place to hang up our towels. The remodel was far too modern for Rome!! The morning we were leaving, there was no cold water!! Usually there's no hot water!! Overall, the staff was great, the breakfast was great, but we were very disappointed with our room, and the price we paid for it!

9.3

The room was very clean and nicely decorated. It was very comfortable. The employees were helpful and well informed. I was traveling with my husband and we are in our 60's. It was walking distance to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and the tour bus. The taxi trip into the hotel was 50E and the trip back to the FCO Airport was discounted at 35E. I would stay again. There was no internet access. They were remodeling but it was of no inconvenience. Great Hotel! Great Price!

7.5

Location is very good, well connected but not too close to the Termini station. Price was ok considering the prices in Rome. It's on a quiet street so traffic don't bother too much. Shower leaked a bit but in general the room was clean and ok. Breakfast was also better than expected. I would recommend this hotel and visit again.

8.7

We had read some of the reviews on net and expected the rooms to be very small. They were not. Except for the elevator, which made us smile! The rooms were nice and clean, with enough space for us. And the location is just perfect! We will like to stay here again!

Estuvimos una semana en el Hotel De Petris, la acogida no fue muy buena por los recepcionistas del hotel, nunca saludaban y siempre nos pedian la llave del hotel cuando saliamos y de malas maneras. Un día llegamos de cenar fuera y nos dejaron una media hora en la calle porque no había nadie y estaba cerrado con llave. El ascensor era diminuto, cabían solo dos personas y tenias que hacer malabarismos para entrar y salir, y con las maletas aun era peor. El desayuno era escaso aunque no estaba mal, recomiendo el zumo de naranja rosa. En cuanto a la limpieza a veces eran las 17:00 h y no estaban hechas las habitaciones. En definitiva la habitación estaba bien y el lugar centrico, pero no es un hotel acogedor. Si volvemos a Roma no repetiremos.

8.9

The location was fantastic. The room was clean & the bed was good quality & the bathroom clean & adequate.The staff were good & obliging at all times. The breakfast was a high standard - I would recommened this hotel to anyone wanting value for money within walking distance of all the main sights.

9.7

This was a fantastic hotel! Highly reccommended. Location was perfect, everything at the doorstep, can walk to all sites, shopping, restaurants etc. Rooms were big for Europe, cute balcony, good breakfast, staff were extremely helpful.

3.0

This was our 1st time in Rome and at the beginning ,the hotel seemed ample except for the elevator which is a hazard and a joke. It would not be wide enough for a wheelchair much less a family with luggage. We should have known it was going to be a problem when on our first day, we called the front desk to alert them that our tv had no channels and they told us we had to pull out the tv and hook up the cable ourselves. The bathroom was fine if limited for counter space. The shower was hot with good pressure but the door was some odd configuration that resulted in floods all over the bathroom floor. The hotel staff was not knowledgeable at all. One lady directed us to the bus stop and told us the # of the bus but she never said what direction to travel in and could not tell us when it left or provide us with any other info at all. It got worse with each conversation or request that we had with the staff. We asked for an iron 4x and never received one. We needed assistance in making a call to America and after several attempts finally told the front desk that there was a problem with the phone. They never mentioned that a problem with the phone would prevent our 5:45am wake up call not to happen. We were 45 minutes late for the airport and received no assistance from the overnight attendant at all with regards to making up for lost time. He did not even offer an apology for the error. Instead, he yelled back at me and told me it was my fault for not telling them earlier that there was a problem with the phone. All in all, the hotel was not even worth the money we paid. If I were you, I would choose another hotel.

7.0

Nice room, newly refurbished, although a bit small. There was no bidet and every time you took a shower the bathroom got a little flooded... The staff was nice and helpful and the breakfast was nicer than I'd expected from previous reviews. Very well located. Would use again.

7.1

Estuvimos en el puente de la Constitución y la verdad es que el hotel esta muy bien situado( 500 mts de la Fontana de Trevi) ; el desayuno estaba bien, las habitaciones antiguas pero silenciosas y limpias y el staff amable y predispuesto; recomendable para pasar unos días en Roma; si no quieres ir al aeropuerto en tren te consiguen un taxi por 60€ y la verdad es que segun a que hora te salga el vuelo si vais varios vale la pena ya que el tren de termini a Fiumicino te cuesta 11 € por cabeza y hay que hacer una buena caminata por metro y estación

5.9

On the positive side, the bed was excellent, the coffee tremendous, and the location unbeatable. The room was clean, the housekeeping staff do a great job. With one exception the staff were great, but one surly, sulky, rude young woman on reception soured the experience. I've given a fairly low grade for quietness, and I wouldn't expect it any other way in this great location - at least as far as street noise goes. But one night we had to endure a spectacularly loud and abusive North American brawl in a room on our floor. It continued unabated until about 4am. I think even the thickest walls wouldn't have been able to deal with that, so it's a bit difficult to judge room quietness in those conditions. On the negative side. Size matters. We stayed for 5 days and felt pretty claustrophobic by day 3. The room was tiny, just enough room to skirt around the very comfortable bed.The shower was miniscule. One had to jump in, get wet, jump out to lather up, then jump back in again to rinse. The only space smaller than this was the elevator, but that was just funny, not really a negative unless you want to transport 2 suitcases. Which is something you are likely to do in a hotel, so not terribly amusing after all. It's Rome, Rome's expensive, you get what you pay for blah blah.

8.2

De Petris is very centrally placed.

8.5

The hotel was very neat. The breakfast was the best of our 4 hotels. The room was the smallest, but not too small. Very quiet and clean room. The location was awesome. We accidently bumped into Trevi fountain on a quick 5 minute walk after we checked in!

6.1

I was pleased with the room but the access was difficult through the lift, which was too small and difficult to get in and out of. Overall the stay was fair. I did not find the desk staff very helpful, although it appeared they were trying. Especially upsetting was that we wanted to postpone our visit by one day, still wanting to stay the two days. We found the hotel unwilling to work with our schedule, even though we would have stayed the agreed-upon number of nights. I understand that we agreed to make any changes before Sunday -- however that's a long time before we wanted the room and we agreed because we didn't feel we had a choice. We hoped that your staff would agree to accommodate our changes, but they refused to do so or even discuss it.

3.5

Did not stay. first directions were not adequate. then room was dark, musky smelling and damp. lost first night's rate because the room offered us and overall hotel was below par for the level hotel listed. Would not recommend.. though the young lady checking us in was very cordial.

9.7

We enjoyed our stay at the DePetris tremendously. The rooms were neat and clean and beautifully decorated. The bathroom was modern. The staff was very helpful and helped to make our stay in Rome very enjoyable. The buffet breakfast was wonderful. Thanks!

9.6

The Hotel De Petris was a great hotel with very nice staff and a very good location. The rooms were spacious and clean and the hotel staff were helpful and very nice. We were delayed on our trip and arrived one day late but calling ahead to let the hotel know of our delay was not problem. For the price, this hotel was excellent.

9.8

really surpised with the room, big room with A/C, what more do you really need

8.7

We are very satisfied and would choose De Petris again . One or two restrictions though : the lift is extremely small!! and the room a bit dark. Otherwise we recommend to reserve room 202!

7.8

My stay at the Hotel De Petris was overall extremely sastifactory. I had a room on the 4th floor with a terrace/balcony. In April, the temperature was cool, so no need for the AC. We slept with the windows open, and there was NO noise whatsoever. Amazing, considering the hotel is 3 minutes away from Trevi Fountain. Via Rasella is simply one of the quietest streets in the heart of Rome. The only thing heard at night were the church bells of Rome sounding every 15 minutes. Lovely feeling. You get a sense of the old Rome, before all of the auto's. The buffet style breakfast was excellent as well. Many times it seemed to be the best meal of the day. Our room had 2 twin beds, and each one was like new. The room price (190 Euro) seemed a little steep by USA standards, but worth it for the location. Within literally a 2 minute walk, you are at the Barbarini Metro station. There is a really a nice Internet Cafe at the Barbarini Square. I would definitely stay here again.

4.9

Generally speaking, hotels in Rome have special connections to unauthorithzed taxi company:that makes us often very disagreeable feelings.

5.1

Location very good. The pictures (rooms) on the internet looked much better. The room was very small an old - we were on the 4th floor. I think the rooms on the lower floors are much better.

5.8

Location of hotel was excellent. Facilities were lacking which makes the hotel expensive.

5.4

Our "first" room was dark and small. So we asked to change, and they accept. Anyway, the price seems high compared to other places.

8.5

Very nice hotel and great location. just a 3 minute walk to the Trevi Fountain, shops and restaurants. The room was comfortable and they do have an elevator albeit small. The hotel was not overly warm arrival,but did answer questions etc.

5.3

It does not reflect what was advertised, can be rated as a 2 stars hotel. Will look for better option next time.

7.3

very small, nice hotel. Excellent located very near to the trevi-fountains and underground station. I would go there again.

8.1

Hotel is located very centrally - within walking distance of all the tourist attractions - Hotel was good value for money but rooms were quite small.

8.1

We booked on thursday afternoon and arrived on friday. The De Petris was just perfect for a short-trip. Central located, clean and a very friendly staff. I would recommend it. Due to the thin walls we woke some of the other guests up when came home at 3 a.m.

7.4

The only problem with this hotel was the noise from outside.At 11pm until 3-4am each night very loud music and singing came from somewhere close to the hotel

9.0

Excellent service from both Venere and De Petris staff,thanks. I have already recommended your and the hotel to my family who intend to visit Rome in the spring. Regards

8.7

Well located. I would recommend it to my friends.

8.2

I would definitely recommend the De Petris. Our room was clean, comfortable and relatively spacious. It was not cheap, but was certainly reasonable by Rome standards. The location was good in terms of proximity to major sights (especially the Trevi Fountain) - the road the hotel is on is not particularly attractive but we never felt unsafe walking back at night. The only complaint I would have was that most of the staff weren't especially friendly and on arrival noone showed us the lounge (which we only discovered when we checked out!) or the breakfast room. On the whole a good place to stay.
