Hotel Embassy - Rome

We checked in the first day -the room was great but it tourned out to be noisy. They changed our room with no problem and we got one c=facing the inner courtyard which was fine. The staff was wonderful -very helpful and the breakfast was as they said it would be. More than adequate to start the day.

We are a group of 7 french people and we stayed 3 nights. The staff was welcoming and helpfull but the rooms were antiquated (but clean!). Lots of noise (if your room gives on the street).

The hotel is situated in a quiet and elegant area, with lots of statal buidings, close to the railway station, near the metropolitan and not so far to the historical places (20-25 minutes walk), nice staff, helpful and polite, clean rooms,but not every floor was of the hotel, some were inhabited by other persons. The hotel is indicated for people not so demanding/spoiled. Breakfast: coffee and croissant, yogurt, cereals - was ok, they don't serve other meals.

The first room they gave us was tiny. they forgot to read my note about I need a baby cot.when they put the baby cote I could not open my baggage because there was no place to put them.second day they gave us a better room but we had an awful night. the staff were kind but the breakfast was very poor. ıf you have baby or young child do not stay in this hotel because lots of stairs will cause problems.

A bit expensive but excellent location. Staff was very gentle, but if you need to order a taxi, please enphasize them you want a taxi, not a shuttle.

Pretty good location and service except for the breakfast wich was good but boring, they offerred the same menu every day

A friendly greeting on our arrival and also upon leaving consideration was shown as to whether we had enjoyed our stay, which we had. The Hotel was convenient for our needs, it had been recommended by a friend and we shall be happy to recommend it to others.

The competence of the employes are very excellent. I`m so happy to go to Embassy hotel in Rome i sure I will back . thank you very much!

Great hotel for the price! I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to other people.

The hotel is on a great location, 5 minutes away from Via Veneto and Piazza Republica. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was massive although it lacks a lot of modernization! Breakfast was pretty good, the only annoying thing is that the room available for it is not big enough and you might have to quewe for a while on the hallway. i was sorry for the rooms next to the breakfast room! make sure you don't get one of those! The AC in the rooms was very good and you can hardly hear any noise from the street. General review I give is an 8. I would give a 9 or a 10 if it wasn't for the fact that the building and the rooms were very old and very poorly decorated and oldfashioned. Quality Vs price, very good.

Hotel is located on a quite street in 10 minutes by walk from Termini. Breakfast is really simple. Hot and cold beverages and a lot of baking. That's all. There is wired Internet in the lobby. Free! When checkout manager gave me 5% discount for next stay.

Friendly and helpful staff. ambiente fine. had thought we were getting a different hotel with a similar name, but it was fine, just a bit more expensive than i think is warranted--but not to say there is anything wrong with the hotel. it is very nice!

This hotel doesn´t seems one at first sight, and too many stairs to get to reception desk and to the lift. But after all, the room was very big and with a good bathroom. The location is not exactly good, but it is not a bad either (1 Km far from the train station and 400 to 500 mts to the subway station).

Holidays. 1. time in this hotel. Only complaint: very noisy refrigerator(roombar).

The rooms are clean but standard rooms are very little inside. The staff is very kind. Breakfast is minimal and not so various. The room for it is so little. You have to pay extra charge for car parking (23 euros per day) and it's not specified in hotel characteristics. The location is very good, you are close to metro lines and buses. Thanks.

Very noisy rooms! No cleanness during breakfast

Would not stay in the same area....The hotel was clean and not far from the station...But far from anything else. You can use the internet but can not print anything not even a flight conformation. But staf were friendly and helpfull. Not the perfect place to stay but if you consider the price we paid good value for your money

Very good hotel in Rome,next to Termini,piazza barberini and via veneto. The hotel is very good,the rooms clean and spacious. Nice staff and good breakfast. A good choise to stay a good price in Rome

Hotel bien situé, mais ma chambre donnant sur la rue a été un peu bruyante. Petit déjeuner assez monotone - pas assez diversifié. Excellent accueil !

Il mio soggiorno presso l'hotel embassy è durato solo due giorni per fortuna perchè la camera era piccolissima!.

Smelly bathrooms. First room had broken tiles. Had to move to another room. there are lots of stairs in the builiding!

The pictures and the hotel website in general indicated a much nicer quality hotel. The room was very small and not much room to put things. Bathroom was tiny. Although, having read other reviews it sounds like this is typical of Italy. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Especially so when we realised we had left some jewellry in the safe. It was found and returned immediately! Although the main sites were walking distance, they weren't right on the doorstep as I had expected. The Colosseum was about a 30 minute walk. Trevvi Fountain was about 20 mins. Overall, our stay was fine. We were only there for a long weekend and the bed was clean, the shower was hot and we got a nice cup of tea in the morning!

Overall we quite enjoyed our stay. The location of the hotel was good. The staff were helpful and quite friendly. The rooms and bathrooms (there were 4 of us), though quite small, were clean. For breakfast there was a choice of 2 cereals, neither of which was nice, and all 4 of us like our cereals. Also it would have been nice to have some fruit for breakfast. The room my husband and I were in overlooked a main street so the noise of traffic was quite loud all night.

Centrally located and within walking distance of many sights and public transportation. We had asked for a quiet room not on the breakfast-room floor. We arrived to find our room was one of the better rooms on the street side (which would have been very noisy)--the hotel changed our room to one at the back (no view/balcony, etc.) but quieter. Very good continental breakfast--cereal, yoghurt, fruit in addition to the bread/croissants. Excellent coffee!

Nice hotel, good location for tourists and walking about Rome. We enjoyed our stay!

Breakfast poor in choice

Good service at the hotel but the room was not very cosy.

A 5 minutos del centro centro de Roma, pero nuestra habitación daba a una calle principal con mucho tráfico, el típico de Roma, por lo tanto ruidosa a partir de primera hora de la mañana. El resto bien, pero muy caro en relación a los precios de los Hoteles en España que son mejor en Calidad / Precio. Recomendable en comparación a otros hoteles en Roma.

Hotel Embassy was clean, but the room was small and spartan. The floors were bare. The shower in the bathroom was so tiny that an average sized person could barely fit. We had to haul luggage up steps to the lobby. Although there was an elevator, there were also steps to the actual level of our room. The location was good, but we would not stay there again.

The location of the hotel is perfect – between two Metro Stations, 5 minutes walk from Termini, close to main tourist attractions: Via Veneto, Via Del Tritone, Galleria Borghese, Piazza del Quirinalle, Via delle Quattro Fontane, Fontana di Trevi, etc… I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends and will stay there during my next visit to Rome. Service was good.

El hotel está muy muy bien situado, a pie, a unos 7-8 minutos de la estación de trenes y a unos 5-6 minutos de la estación de metro de Republica; habitaciones más que suficientes,con un baño impecable (con secador de pelo)que NO es pequeño, muy limpio y buenos desayunos (buffet). La atención con el cliente ha sido buena, entienden de sobra el castellano,por la tarde pedimos un taxi para las 4:00 de la mañana y a las 3:40 nos llamaron a la habitación para confirmar que nos habíamos despertado sin decirles nada, y el taxi lo tuvimos al instante en la puerta del Hotel. Balance final, un hotel que da un servicio completísimo para la categoría a la que pertenece, volvería sin pensarlo al mismo.

Good: central location, staff is helpful and friendly when asked Not so good: rooms very small, furniture no more than hostel quality, very noisy

The hotel staff was unhelpful and indifferent. The room was tiny, tiny, tiny for two people. The room was also not clean. I found trash under the bed.

Overall the hotal was good. location on map provided on web site was a bit decieving. we thought the hotel was more central and not so close to the central station as we found. staff were nice and rooms were pretty good. expected a bit more for the price except then again, rome is ver expensive anywhere!!

The good things about this hotel are: the location (just off a main road with bus stop to get to the Colosseum, Piazza Venezia, Trevi Fountain, a few minutes walk to the Metro and, a little further on, the train station; helpfulness of reception staff; the cleanliness of the rooms; the reasonable price. The bad things are: trying to find the entrance; no fruit on offer at breakfast; trying to get breakfast at 7.00 a.m. (even though it's advertised to start then) as I was in a rush to get away for the coach to the airport; having to pay on arrival rather than checkout; and finally the location of some of the rooms: avoid the third floor at all costs - room 312 will give you sleepness nights because it is near to the clunky lift, and also the breakfast room so if you manage to get some sleep you'll be awoken by china being put on marble top tables!

VERY CENTRALLY LOCATED HOTEL CLOSE TO SITES,EATING ETC.THE HOTEL SHARES FLOORS WITH OTHER BUSINESS AND RESIDENCES WHICH REALLY WASN'T A PROBLEM.THE ONLY NEGATIVE THING WAS THE UNDERSIZED SHOWER,BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING WE WERE QUITE COMFORTABLE.

Mi esposo y yo pasamos un día maravilloso en Roma y con gusto regresaremos a este hotel en donde el servicio y atención fueron excelentes. Limpieza, ubicación, servicio, calidad, gentileza y atención, y un precio muy accesible. Recomendamos ampliamente el hotel Embassy.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was big and they allowed us to check in early. The staff that served/setup breakfast was so nice.

While this is not my preferred area of Rome to stay in, the Embassy worked well as it was near the hotel my brother was staying in--easy walking distance though hilly. I do not spend much time in the room, but would prefer a bit more room around the bed and in the miniscule bathroom.

Our first day there we had no hot water. The hotel's response was to "wait 30 minutes," which we did and still had no water. They offered no other solutions and showed no willingness to help whatsoever.

Location - very good for sightseeing. Price / quality ratio poor, however price level seems to be close to average in the center of Rome.

The room was fine. Bathroom clean. Owner guy a little grouchy, but helpful and competant. Good location. Rome is wonderful. Breakfast was very basic but plenifull. Leave key at the hotel. You can walk from Termeni, don't need to take the subway for one stop.

The staff at the Hotel Embassy were very friendly and helpful during our stay. We all agreed we would come back again both to Rome and the Hotel Embassy.

The relationship between price and quality was fair. We had a small room but we paid only 68.00 euros per night in january. The hotel with its central location is ideal for people who want to spend their time outside, touring around Rome and need a clean, simple room to rest for the night's sleep. Two more things: 1. Quiet rooms are availabe but you have to specifically ask for them. 2. One thing annoyed us: the aircondition did not work properly so we could not warm the room.

Visti i prezzi che girano a Roma, direi che 80 euro a notte per una doppia tutto sommato è un prezzo ragionevole. L'hotel occupa il terzo piano di un palazzo, la reception è al piano terra. L'ascensore è vecchio stile (con gabbia), ma funziona bene. Le camere davano una piacevole sensazione di pulizia, anche se (almeno la mia) era piccolissima e la finestra dava nel cortile retrostante (che nn era un gran bel vedere). A 20m dall'hotel c'è una fermata dell'autobus, ma è meglio girare a piedi, ogni 3-400m c'è qualcosa da vedere. Buona colazione, a parte il caffè che sembrava di orzoro...

The only objection I have is the permanent noise coming from the street!

The staff were very helpful and welcoming and the room was pleasant with a decent shower, often lacking in Italian hotels.

Helpful and courteuos satff. Not an easy hotel for those with walking difficulties.

Apart from the noise from the street below, we enjoyed our stay at The Embassy. The room was better than expected for the price and we found the staff very helpful and friendly. The location was good, far enough away from the Termini to be in a safe area but close enough to easily access public transport. There were a few restaurants around and we found we could easily walk to sites such as the Spanish steps and the Trevi fountain. Breakfast was the usual crossiants and rolls, but cereal was also available. We would definitely stay at the Embassy again because of its affordability, clean rooms and location. Just bring earplugs if traffic noise annoys you.

Hairy floor!

Good value for money. Only complaint was size of shower cubicle - if you are larger than size 14 then room with a bath might be a better option. With a room on the third floor you are guarenteed an early start as the breakfast room is also on this floor - on the plus side the earlier you are out the less tourists there are around.

We enjoyed our stay at the Embassy. The staff was helpful and very service oriented.

I booked this place because of others reviews on this site. It was nice but the noise from the street bothered me. Even with the window closed you could still hear street noise. But it didn't bother my friend....so its up to what you can handle. The room was big and the bath nice size. The people working there were very helpful and nice. This place is close (3-4 blocks) to the train station which is good while traveling and the bus stops right in front of the hotel street to take you into the city. Very convenient. There are many restaurants around the area and some shops. Two banks right across the street. The air didn't work well in our room which was right behind the breakfast room (where someone in their review said not to stay and that is where we ended up) The breakfast was OK....mostly cereal and bread. Most others brought their own fruit like we did. I would stay here again but would want a quieter room away from the street noise. The hotel has a lift.

I will definitely use this hotel again when I come back to Rome some other time. I even forgot my camera & after asking, they replied my e mail stating they had found it! It is all the more convenient that I got the reservation from one day to the next.

In general it was very nice place to stay for 4 days of visit. The only thing we could complain about was elevator. For 2 day was not in function and we were on 4th floor. The location is very good!

The property was a little out of the way from Metro and sites, but very comfortable rooms. Staff was friendly, but kitchen staff was noisy. Great A/C and comfortable beds. I would return without question, just not to the third floor.

Stayed at the Hotel Embassy for a week in April'05. Really enjoyed our stay. Hotel was very clean, staff were extremley friendly and helpful and the location was superb. Would have no hesitation in staying there again next time I am in Rome.

The Embassy was a good choice at a reasonable price (for Rome). It is well located, within walking distance of the main railway station and sites such as the Trevi Fountain, it is across the road from a bus stop, and fairly easy to find. We were impressed with the welcome from one staff member who gave us useful information without prompting, including a very useful guide to tourist sites in Rome. The room was average in size and quality but no better or worse than other 3 star hotels in Italy.

Very expencive for this property.Breakfast is poor.Location is very good,5 minutes to M."Republica",7 minutes to M."Barberini".SUMMARY:Wery well but could be cheaper for this property.

Ero in viaggio di lavoro, quindi non avevo particolari esigenze, le caratteristiche fondamentali per me sono la pulizia della stanza e del bagno, un minimo di vivibilità e una buona colazione. La stanza e il bagno erano abbastanza puliti, se si eccettuano le tende e i copriletti davvero da lavare e una generale sensazione di "vecchio". Il bagno era microscopico, io sono anche alta, quindi ho avuto ancora maggiori difficoltà. Inoltre ho trovato la sistemazione non proprio ideale: la mia stanza era adiacente il ballatoio dell'ascensore e sullo stesso piano della saletta per la colazione: nel complesso piuttiosto rumorosa. In compenso la colazione era buona, basta richiedere il cappuccino al posto di latte e caffè. Il personale è molto gentile e disponibile. La sistemazione è il punto forte di questo hotel: vicino alla stazione, ma in una zona tranquilla e per nulla mal frequentata, anche per me che di sera dovevo necessariamente uscire da sola per la cena. E' inoltre molto vicina alla maggior parte dei monumenti e viene davvero voglia di girare sempre a piedi (io non ho mai utilizzato l'autobus). Dietro l'hotel, nella Via Flavia, si trova una taverna dove si mangia, forse non proprio a buon prezzo, ma molto bene. Nel complesso, il rapporto qualità-prezzo non è eccellente, ma a Roma suppongo che questa sia la norma

The Embassy provided me with a room that was small, but quiet and clean, in a good neighborhood at a good price. Everything was fine, from water pressure in the shower to breakfast. A functional place, especially for a business traveler passing through. Don't expect beauty or charm.

La chambre que nous avons occupée était claire, spacieuse et équipée d'une bonne liteire. Seu inconvénient, le bruit de la rue (certaines chambres donnent sur cour, les demander de préférence). L'accueil du personnel est souriant et beaucoup parlent français. Bon petit déjeuner, copieux et de qualité. L'hotel est bien situé pour visiter la ville, de plus près de la gare (désservant aussi l'aéroport)

Compared to hotels in Venice and Florence booked through venere.com, the Embassy in Rome was a let-down. The front desk personnel were not very friendly or helpful, the room was "Spartan" and we had to use the bathroom in an adjoining room for one night when we were told that the toilet in our room was broken. Our room on the first floor faced a busy street, so there was traffic and pedestrian noise during the day.

The hotel is excellent -- good location, great price. I shopped around and had to stay in different hotels with a tour, and this was superior to anyt other hotel. You can walk home late at night, as a single woman, from Trevi Fountain, and feel safe. This was the best priced, best location hotel I found -- I would stay here again in a heartbeat. DO not hesitate to stay here.

The staff was friendly and competant. they got you cabs, and gave you directions. but beware of fixed price cabs to the airport. i was quoted one, then told another when i got there. but i stood my ground and told the cab driver to take it up with the hotel. my single room was spacious, but right next to the breakfast room. at least i didn't have to worry about an alarm.

Small, but nice and clean hotel. About a ten minute walk from the Termini Railroad station. Rooms are not large, but have nice bathrooms and are clean. Breakfast is not plentiful. Personnel are courteous. I would stay there again.

THE FRONT DESK STAFF WAS NOT WELCOMING AND AT ONE POINT,VERY RUDE. THE ROOM WAS VERY SMALL AND THE BATHROOM HAD A DIRTY TOWEL IN IT AND AN EXPOSED ELECTRICAL WIRE HANGING FROM THE WALL ABOVE THE TOILET AREA.

This is not your standard hotel building is shared with another hotel a dentist a language company and private apartments it close to the termini train station i suggest you walk but dont expect to find it easily the first time as its got a none descript entrance(read small brass sign).Also the three restaurants just outside the hotel one directly infront and the two just down the side street on the left are excellant (price,food and singer in the last one).

A welcoming hotel with friendly and helpful staff. A good location not too noisy but not too off the beten track to be out of the way

A nice hotel, poor breakfast, don't book the room next to the kitchen, it is very noisy early in the morning!

If you're looking for an inexpensive place to stay that's fairly close to the major sites, with good breakfast and a clean and very spacious room this is the hotel for you! We were very happy we stayed at Embasssy!

The service provided matched my expectations.For foreign visitors, it'd be good for them to get specific information on how to get to the hotel. A lot of time is wasted in finding the hotels, in general, especially when you've never been in the city before.

Good hotel location. Rather strange layout of hotel with some rooms sharing same floor as private appartments and offices. There was quite a bit of noise from the adjoining room. Guests arrived back well after midnight making a considerable amount of noise before they settled down. Perhaps the hotel should look at better sound proofing between rooms. Otherwise a reasonable hotel for the price in an excellent city centre location.

Our stay at the Embassy was one of convenience, not really caring about asthetics, but we were very pleased with the size, comfort, cleanliness, and noise level of our room. Rome is bombarded with sounds of scooters, ambulances, etc. bouncing off the buildings and into hotel rooms, but we slept very soundly with our sound insulated window shut. The location is great for a 3 block walk from the republica station, or only ~6 blks from the main termini station. Via Venito is a comfortable 5 blks west. The staff was very nice and very tolerant of our broken Italian (politely responding in English). Bottom line, you can't beat the price for a safe, comfortable, nicely situated hotel. If you are on vacation to see Rome, not to enjoy an especially luxurious hotel stay, definately consider this finely run three star hotel.

This hotel is a dump. I should have realized that something was wrong when I was asked to sign my credit card slip for the full price of the stay upon my arrival before I even saw the room. Two of the employees were very helpful and tried their best. One (an older man) was arrogant and offensive. The public areas were dirty. I will never set foot in this hotel again.

The prices for rome standard, as we learnt, were moderate. the pictures of the room shown on the web site, however, were rather misleading. i was rather disappointed! luckily, the rooms at least were very clean! the location is good. very central. 5 min walk to either termini or republicca, 20 min. walk to spanish steps and sourrounding!

Please be aware that this hotel is not a 3 stars. The building is dirty and very old. For the same price so many pretty hotels are available in the nearby. The distance between web pages and reality is absolutely unacceptable.

I booked this hotel on the strength of the description and the pictures on the web, I expected quite a high standard hotel hence the high room rate of 160euro. The reality was completely different, the standard was of a Bed & Breakfast hostel with a room rate of 60 to 70euro's.

From the outside I thought I had made a mistake booking it as it is quite an old building but once inside my concerns were put to rest. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were impeccably clean and fairly spacious. The beds were comfortable. The shower in my room was brilliant...and let's face it we needed about four a day as it was Rome in July!! There's nothing worse than a shower that dribbles out and barely gets you wet. I am glad to say this was not the case at the Embassy. I would recommend this hotel to friends travelling to Rome in the future and I will stay there again myself when I go back.

Hte hotel staff where excellent and the place was very clean but nothing like the picture's on the site and the lobby was very grubby looking we where there for a wedding 13 people we where all on the same floor which was great but there was no where all of us could sit and chat in the hotel the rooms where also very small the matramonial room looked like it had a sofa in it which it didnt that was the triple room and it was a bed thank you for asking

We thought the Hotel had all the basic amenities and was good value for money. It is under 10 minutes walking to Termini so convenient for getting around Rome.

My only complaint was the street noise, which is inevitable in Rome. The Embassy is an excellent choice. Good location (close, but far enough away from it all) and very clean. I would definitely stay there again.

The hotel is fine but the price is a little bit to high.

The hotel was convenient and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was mediocre compared to the other 3 star hotels I stayed in throughout Italy.

Lack space in room with double beds, ok breakfast and service, needs improvement on room cleaning

The hotel is very convenient for connections - the special train connection from the airport to the central terminal plus the walk to the hotel took us just over an hour. The location of the hotel is very central being close to most of the government offices but this is also a bit of a drawback as there is very little greenery in the immediate vicinity.It is an easy downhill walk to the main tourist sights. To get to the Vatican is also very convenient by either bus or metro. The only disappointment with the hotel was the minimal 'bready' breakfast

We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to our friends. However, the breakfast wasn't the greatest....
