Hotel Fiamma - Rome

There was a great deal of noise during the night from garbage pickup

An hotel kind of old.. not to good, smell a tabacco, its close to termini, the bed was unconfortable

Room too small and noise, with minimal furniture. Good breakfast and location.

Il nous semblait que les parties communes pourraient être mieux soignées point de vue propreté mais il est possible que ce soit dû au type de fréquentation.Le point négatif : le bruit, mais atténué par la situation centrale de l'hôtel et par le fait que Rome est par essence très bruyant.

For clients wishing to nor be burdened by heavy luggae then a hotel wihtin 5 minutes of Stazione Termine the hotel is perfect Breakfast was about 5 out of 10 Fresh cappuccinos shoudl be made Andrea on the receptionin particulare carino e molto bravo Melissa Rushdown Travel

Solo un po' vecchiotto

Hi !!!, we had been imformed that the check in would be at 12am, but the receptionist was quite rude, and told us that it was at 14.oo which was not the case.

Possibly a little expensive given location and quality. However the hotel is extremely convenient for the station, bus station, walking distance to important areas.

The sensation that you receive is of lack of clean, poor maintenance, and poor overall standings. TV was obsolete and very poor signal, room door was in a very bad shape (at least the rooms 104, 103, 105) and when you enter to one of them look like are entering the others.

Room was infested with mosquitoes!

I came in Rome for 4 days(3 full days)and considering this short visit I didn`t have with me much luggage, properly I had a rucksack. So when I arrived in hotel I didn`t have any problem with chek-in but the receptionist certain Andrea was very suprised that a have such a small luggage and when came down with the same rucksack( I emptied it before going in the city) he asked me again about my luggage and when I confirmed once again that it was all that I had with me he said that he prefered me to pay in advance for my stay in their hotel. It was not a problem to pay in advance but this treatment of clients especially when the person arrives in a new city it`s at least impolite - judge prosperity of the client by his luggage it`s not correct(also considering tha fact what when you book your room you leave the data of your credit card). Except this unpleasant "welcoming" the hotel was quite well. Breakfast was rather abundant(but there was no coffee machine and coffee that they gave was "schiffo" - to have normal coffee you have to ask and they gave it mostly to Italians). The location it`s very convenient near metro station and Termini (it`s easy to take train to airport). Tne only thing(for me it`s was ok, but perhaps for persons who have some problems with back it should important to know) beds in my room was with springs( without rigid framework).

The room was very small, (we cant open the bags!!!)but we request another room and we get it.

To make better the breakfast.

It is a comfortable hotel, well situated near railwai, metro, bus stations. Stuff ist not spacially friendly, but OK. Breakfast is "italian".

My scores may be a bit harsh. Basically for central Rome it's what I expected for the price. However we did have a small double/large single bed the first night but they did move us and give us a discount for both nights

Good value for money, great location since very close to Termini; reasonably good breakfast buffet. Surprised to find even a bar and an air conditioner in the room, which actually worked! Very easy to reach all the attractions in and around Rome. Lots of places to eat nearby but all of mediocre quality. The rooms on the Via Volturno side are extremely noisy at night. The windows and the walls are not sound-proof and the windows even shake violently at night. The staff could not even answer the most simple question like whether the water in the tap is to drink or not.

Old and dirty place, the hotel needs an urgent remodelation. Termini area is full of "bad people". Employees were kind and polite and breakfast was quite good.

We enjoyed our stay at the Fiamma. It's not situated near the main attractions in Rome, but if you don't mind walking it's very nice. The Termini trainstation is close, a big plus if you have alot of luggage. The breakfast was Ok, (compared with other continental breakfasts we've had) bread, butter, cheese, ham, some fruit. We had a pleasant stay.

Air conditioning marginal and noise level was horrific seeing that to cool the room we had to open the windows. the bed was absolutely the worst bed I have ever slept on in my life.

We stayed for 4 nights in May 2008. The room was spacious an clean but had no view (better not opening the windows). The bathroom was nice and we just had a problem of water sinking in the shower at the begining but the staff fixed it right after I mentionned it. The breakfast was nice. The walls are a bit thin so I heard or neighbours talking and more than that. But nothing to make your night a nightmare. I would recommend it.

We stayed in Rome for 4 nights. It was our first time in Rome and at Hotel Fiamma. We had a very good time but unfortunately we couldn't see all the sights because it was a national holiday (25th April) and for 3 days Rome was overcrowded with endless queues everywhere and the sights were literally covered with people. The location of the hotel is convenient, next to the central station, as to the room it could be cleaner and as to the staff,some of them could be friendlier. There are good trattorias near the hotel with very good food.

Really close to all public transport services in Rome (metro, train station, bus). Easy access to the city. Great!

Nice location. Close to Roma Train station.

This hotel was represented very well by Venere, my room was very comfortably large for a single room in Europe, also furnishings were nice, painted and decorative, bathroom good, and room very clean, also nice staff at desk, English well-spoken. Good value for price, and decent breakfast. Would definitely stay at Fiamma again.

The room was spacious and comfortable, but the porter should be responsible for checking what guests are doing late in the night

Both mornings when showering, we ran OUT of hot/warm water! It was ICE COLD! We were not happy with that.

Rooms are extremely small

We booked 2 double rooms and 1 triple for a group of us -- were surprised that the "double rooms" did not consist of one regular sized bed, but two twin beds. The breakfast was good -- the location was a little off the beaten path. One of our cab drivers had a hard time finding the hotel.

We only stayed one night in order to catch our flight out. The hotel offered all we needed - the room was spacious and clean, reception is not big and breakfast was nothing special but we wre not looking for that. Area around hotel is not great but you do not have to walk far for transport. Found a very well priced and good food trattoris in same street about 100 metres other way. Would recommend this place

We were sent to another hotel because there had been problems with the water-pipes. In the other hotel there were no twin-bed-rooms (the whish for this was the reason we ordered such a long time in advance): We asked if it then was possible to have a price-reduction and were just sent away in a very rude way!

Everything was fine except one of the receptionist who was trying to convince me about a broken AC unit which was obviously was broken, the electrician guy doesn`t have a clue about the ACs or just he was so patient and slowly... but of course I was suffering in that sauna not him..But at the end of the day another receptionist gave me another room where everything was GREAT!

Hotel itself was OK and reasonably priced. Location left a lot to be desired with tree lined approach road smelling strongly of urine thanks to the many down and outs inhabiting the Termini area.

For convenient location close to Termini and with good access (walking and public transport) to all the main sights the Fiamma is fine. Our very comfortable first floor room was directly over the junction but we weren't unduly bothered by noise and though the place is not the Ritz, you are not paying high prices! The dining room is perhaps a little claustrophobic but a very adequate buffet breakfast of cereals, nice pastries and fruit (as well as the ususal continental processed cheeses, salami and spam!) was included and the staff were courteous and helpful. The fact that a train direct from the airport took us to within comfortable walking distance of our room was a real plus. AND just across the road is a really good tratoria were we ate each evening of our stay (try the dried beef and rocket salad starter, pork chop and house red...)

This is the best hotel for the price range I have stayed at in Rome. It is close to the 'sights' and to Roma Termini, but is by far the quietest hotel I have ever encountered in Rome. I would certainly recommend it.

Hotel Fiamma is perfectly located near termini and therefore is at most a 20 minute walk from the trevi fountain and from there perhaps 10 minutes to the spanish steps. The hotel is clean (rooms are cleaned, sheets are replaced every morning), and the staff is helpful. Hotel Fiamma is VERY BASIC though,so those looking to splurge on room service or go in a pool should not go to hotel fiamma, but for those who spend the whole day roaming rome, as me and my boyfriend did, hotel fiamma is perfect for just coming home to and having a nice night. P.S. The hotel is quite cheap and breakfast is included.

I have been in Rome a lot of times, always in different hotels and locations. I have booked 2 rooms in my name, the first one was ok, the second one had problems with water linkage from the airconditioning unit. The hotel was fuly booked and the room change was not the case. Unfortunately very serious problems of maintance are more than obvious in this hotel.

Stayed in Rome for 7 days. Fiamma has a brilliant location, walking distance to all the main attractions yet on a quiet street. Continental breakfast was very good with the best coffee in Rome.

The property is old and the carpet smells bad! If you're allergic don't go there! The telephone does not accept international phone cards.

A very good place!

Very pleasant stay, nice spacious and quiet room.

Excellent hotel near central train station on side street. Air conditioning was excellent and much appreciated during scorching summer.

WHEN WE ARRIVE THEY HAVE NO DOUBLE ROOM FOR UD ONLY A LITTLE BED IN A LITTLE ROOM SO WE GO DOWN WE WANT TO LEAVE SO THEY GIVE 5THE FACT THAT I SPEAK ITALIAN WAS A GOOD THING AND THEY FIND ANOTHER ROOM FOR US IT WAS A GOOD ROOM

We arrived late in Rome and were travelling on to Assisi early next day. This hotel was only a few minutes walk from Termini, the breakfast was good and plentiful and a good price.

Very close to termini, walking distance to colloseum, fontana de trevi etc.

Stayed here for 1 night in June '06 - hotel was great for the last minute price €110. couldn't get the air con to work properly, so the room was hotter than we would have wished. Didn't spend too much time in the room, so not a big deal. I would recommend this hotel.

Overall we were very pleased with this hotel. The only problem we had was that the bathroom could have been cleaner- there was mould in some areas. The staff weer very friendly and helpful, gave excellent restaurant recommendations

Quite decent for one or 2 nights, and above all very convenient for a one-night stopover between 2 flights. Not cheap, but I have seen much worse in the termini area in that price range.

Close to railway station, so if You planning to take a train next morning it´s perfect.

Albergo non lussuoso ma molto ben situato (a pochi metri dalla stazione Termini). Accoglienza molto simpatica e competente.

Servizio scadente, impiegati che bisticciano con i clienti. Le stanze sono piccole e abbiamo trovato nel bagno il WC sporco di ....

Nice hotel. Not in the best part of town but only a 2 minute walk from the main railway station. Rooms are small but fine. breakfast is excellent - good selection. service was good too at reception desk, spoke pretty good english. Overall stay was excellent, however watch out for those maids, my friend ( foolishly I know ) left his digital camera in the room and on our return later that evening it was gone. A shrug of the shoulders from reception was the best we could get.

Ottima posizione in quanto vicino alla stazione e quindi comodo da raggiungere se si arriva in treno. Stanze pulite e personale gentile. Anche la colazione è stata più che sufficiente.Trovo il rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo

The location of the hotel and its services met our needs during an extended stay in Roma. It was close to train station for accessing other transportation, etc. Staff were helpful and were resourceful in providing references for places for evening dining. The cucina recommended reflected home cooked meals/entrees - - went twice. The room was a nice size and met our needs. The hotel was recommended by a friend who stayed there with a tour group several years ago. If in Roma again, we would book again. Thank you.

Fiamma is a budget hotel. It should be looked upon as that. Four nights in November cost me €280. Both checking in and checking out were done within a matter of minutes. I stayed in a single room on the 4th floor which faced onto the main road. There was some noise from the traffic outside during the day but between midnight and 6am it was virtually silent. The room was fit for the purpose that I required. It was clean and tidy as was the bathroom. The bathroom was very compact but it did the job. I enjoyed the breakfasts which although simple were good. Cooked meats, bread, hard boiled eggs, cereal, juices. You could really fill up for the day ahead with as much as you wanted. I especially enjoyed the breakfast coffee which comprised of a beaker of coffee and a beaker of hot milk. As a single traveler I think I got about 5 cups of coffee out of that. The breakfast staff were excellent. Within a matter of minutes of being seated you were presented with coffee. The location was excellent. I got the bus from the airport which stops at the side of the main tran station. The hotel was a 2 minute walk along the same road heading north. Its also close to 2 metro stations, I preferred to use the Republica station.

Les prix sont généralement chers pour les hôtels à Rome. Celui-ci affichait normalement la chambre double à 127 euros mais en dernière minute, le prix proposé était de 100 euros. L'hôtel est bien situé si l'on souhaite à la fois la tranquilité la nuit, mais aussi la proximité des moyens de transport le jour (3 minutes à pied des départs de bus près la gare Termini). Un intérêt tout particulier est le petit-déjeuner. Le buffet propose brioches, croissants (à l'italienne), céréales, divers jus de fruits, fruits, jambon, fromage, oeufs, café, lait, chocolat, lait, etc. Le tout à volonté. L'accueil est professionnel. Le personnel est disponible, serviable, mais la relation restera distante (ce n'est pas une pension ou un hôtel familial). Sinon, concernant Rome, c'est un rêve pour le yeux tant il y a de choses à voir. Les gens sont sympas, l'ambiance est assez zen dès que l'on quitte les rues encombrées de scooters, smarts ou autres véhicules bruyants et polluants. Attention aux horaires d'ouverture des lieux en cette période. Notamment la sixteen qui n'ouvre que le matin. Prévoir de s'y rendre dès l'ouverture (8h15) si l'on veut éviter une heure de queue et avoir la frustration ensuite de ne pas avoir tout vu. D'autres lieux comme la villa borghese nécessitent une réservation la veille (c'est aussi le cas des jardins du Vatican). Prévoir 5 jours pour être sûr de couvrir la plupart des lieux intéressants à visiter. Globalement, l'hôtel comme la ville sont à recommander.

Ottima la colazione come nelle vostre indicazioni. il servizio e il resto buono. ubicazione comoda. nel complesso buona permanenza . ci ritornerei grazie

My bathrooom at home is a little bit smaller as the hotel room

This isn't a review of Fiamma as they had some structural problems and sent us to one of their sister hotels - Hotel Viminale - also part of Lionardi chain. Also 3 stars with same facilities and a bit more convenient for the city centre. Good locations and restaurants and bars nearby. Price as quoted by Fiamma even though higher rack rate.

Very Nice Hotel for me and close to Roma Termini. Personnel were very nice and professional to me. I will stay there again when I visit Roma.

On arrival at hotel Fiamma we were informed that the group had changed our booking to another hotel (Hotel Sevilgia). This was approximately 500m further away and made without any prior consultation. Only after protracted negotiation was a taxi provided for the transfer.

The hotel looked good and our room was nice and spacious. Unfortunately, although the bathroom was spotlessly clean there was a very unpleasant smell which seemed to come from the drains and it really made you want to avoid the bathroom. Also, although not too far from the main tourist areas, the hotel's location felt a little bit unsafe once it got dark. This is not a hotel we would choose to stay in again.

Sauber, relativ ruhig, gutes Frühstück, mittleres Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis

It's ok but i would not go back if i had other options. The cleanliness was very bad.

Excellent place to stop. Would definitely go back.

I thought that the hotel was very easy to find and that the room was very clean. I would definitely recommend this hotel to people

Good rooms, good location. Enjoyed a good breakfast. The only disappointment was a lack of communication. We arrived in Rome at 2 am. When we got to the Fiamma, we were told that we had been booked in to one of their other hotels, which was then another 10 minute walk. We would have apppreciated this information beforehand since we booked well in advance. But we were not dissappointed once we got there. Overall quite content.

Upon late arrival for a seven day stay, check-in was friendly and smooth. First impression of room (1st Floor at rear of property) was, spartan i.e. small and narrow with a steel frame bedstead. The pristine bathroom, with all amenities provided and functioning, including an unusually spacious, for this area and price range, double-door, walk-in shower cubicle, was almost a big as the room. However, the bed proved to be extremely comfortable and the pillows (which, for me can make or break a holiday) were good quality and very comfortable. The room was maintained in a spotless conditiom throughout my stay. There was, on most evenings, some domestic family noises from adjacemt properties in the block but these were never intrusive and did not go into the early hours. Thoughtless hotel guests, on the other hand, did waken me a couple of times with loud conversations in the corridors and careless slamming of doors. Breakfast was the expected "Continental" buffet and, although repetitive, was more than adequate for re-fuelling for the days meanderings with plenty of fruit provided as well. All staff were invariable civil and helpful throughout my stay and I would have absolutely no hesitation in returning to the "Faimma"

Reception staff very helpful and knowlegable Spoke English very well

The last day of our stay we had to be transfered to a near hotel(Torino hotel) because Fiamma hotel had a plumbing problem, as we were told!The room in Hotel Torino even though was a 4 star Hotel was very disappointing.Otherwise Fiamma hotel is an excellant choice for Rome. There is the Termini station near that makes transportation very convenient.On the third day of our stay we had to ask for our towels to be changed with clean ones and they found our request a bit strange!

Hello, it was a tight squeeze with the bed against the wall. Our air conditioner was not working and no one attemped to fix it, so it was hot all night. The buffet was great. The location very handy but the cab driver charged us 26 Euros from the train station.

Overall it was a pleasant stay with a good location close from Termini station and also the city center. The staff was very helpful and the breakfast really good. The room was a bit small but we did not come to stay in the hotel room but to explore the city! I recommend this hotel to people coming to Rome for 1-2 nights and who look for an affordable accommodation close from the city center and the railway station taking you back to the airport.

Our resevavion was changed to the Gallia hotel. I found the workers very unhelpfull, and serious. The information about the city was very minimale. I asked someone how to go to the airport *ciampino* he told me only by taxi it is not possible any other way. We found out that there is a bus 2 streets away that takes you. for me it's importante information. The Fiamma hotel seemed more profesional and only had 3*. The room and breakfast was fantastic

Because I was a first-time visitor to Rome, and naturally nervous and overwhelmed by such a great and creative city, I could have used a little more attention to needs to settle in and feel at home. However, I realize most of your visitors know the language and are seasoned travelers and you expect all guests to know all about things -- which I did not. The room was great but it remains a mystery to me how to turn on the air conditioner. Mercifully, it rained my one night there and with the window open, I could breathe. But an excellent, clean room with all that I needed and extremely courteous people at the desk. If I return, I would like to stay there again,

Although my room was not onto the street it was very loud because everything going on in the corridor or neighbouring rooms could be heard. Breakfast was appaling on the first day (ordered caffee latte and got instant coffe) but much better the second day (remember to order cappuchino or so if you want real coffee)

Front desk staff at check in was not at all friendly or helpful. Others later were a little more so. Shower was terrible and no hot water in the morning,some at night. No soundproofing. You can hear other room and hallway noise very well. Breakfast was dismal and again very unfriendly staff. But all that said, for the price, in Rome,it was not too bad for a night or two stay. Bus and Metro was close. A very good little family resturant a half block up the street.

At 12 a.m. room were not done, no tv satellite (just 2 national channels), very miserable surroundings, good people at reception.

Even though Fiamma Hotel is very well located i do think a lick of paint would not go astray, this hotel is very busy and I am sure they could afford to put some money back into the place. also a little better selection for breakfast not everyone eats cold meat and cheese or very sweet croissants. otherwise its fine its clean but basic but being basic does not give the excuse to be shabby.

I thought for what we paid a lick of paint would not have gone astray, also I think breakfast could have been a bit better. but overall its a nice hotel well located but with the turnover of clients i am sure they are making alot of money and a little reinvestment is needed.

This hotel was very conveniently located. The rooms were clean, but there was not enough hot water, and the door to the bathroom had a pane of clouded glass instead of being a solid door. The hotel staff were courteous but the hotel felt very impersonal.

Little it noisy.

We rent the room with the last minute offer, so, this hotel was quite cheap. However, I suppose there were nicest room if you pay the plain price. Our remarks: no heat in the bathroom waiting for hot water towels and sheets not changed everyday big breakfast good mattress. Good choice !

Zentrale Lage, relativ ruhig, gutes Frühstück, Zimmer ziemlich groß, Betten o.k., sauber, freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal, gutes Preis (special offer 70Euro double) - Leistungs - Verhältnis.

Consiglio vivamente un soggiorno a Roma in questa struttura. Comoda per la vicinanza alla stazione e ai luoghi di interesse della città. Carina e confortevole.

Das Hotel "Fiamma" ist ein sehr schönes Hotel in verkehrsgünstiger Lage. Es liegt nur wenige Gehminuten vom Hauptbahnhof "Termini" und einer Metrostation entfernt. Dennoch ist es sehr ruhig, da es sich in einer Nebenstraße befindet (es gibt auch einige Zimmer, die einer größeren Straße zugewandt sind - aber auch diese Straße ist nicht übermäßig stark befahren. Das Personal ist sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich, das Frühstück für italienische Maßstäbe sehr reichhaltig und die Zimmer sind sauber und verhältnismäßig groß. Das Hotel eignet sich hervorragend als Ausgangspunkt für Rom-Erkundungen. Es gibt wirklich nichts negatives über unseren Aufenthalt in diesem Hotel zu berichten. Es ist unbedingt empfehlenswert!

The hotel is well located in Rome, close to most important attractions in the city, close to Termini Railway Station, close to Metro. Brakfast is good, but same menu during all 5 days we stayed in. If someone interested to go outside of Rome city to Tivoli or Pompei for 1 day, you can go to the Termini Station and there you will find representatives of all major car rent agencies. It is very easy to find way out of the city from the Hotel. There are sevral internet caffes near the hotel. We got a room for 70 Euro/night for 5 nights as a last time offer and it worth every euro we paid. There are minor shortcomings - sevral times there was not enough hot water, shower was old and slightly broken. But this is typical situation for all 3 star hotels in Italy. I would recommend this hotel if you are going to visit Rome and stay in good location and you do not like to spend much money on hotels.

It is locaated very well, near the station and has a good surrounding with a bus stop just in front of it and a lot of restaurants with typical dishes. Optimum breakfast.

Fiamma is close to Rome's main train station, so we could walk between the hotel and station. We had 2 separate stays in Fiamma, on our way to Sorrento and on our way back. The hotel was convenient, but we either had a small room with no traffic noise or a spacious room with lots of noise. Breakfast was adequate and within easy walking distance of restaurants. Will look elsewhere next time.

Overall the hotel is a good base for sightseeing in Rome because of its proximity to the main train/bus/metro station. On the positive side reception staff were friendly and helpful and breakfast was good. On the other hand the room allocated on the first night was not up to standard which was disappointing and inconvenient. We were annoyed also to find that the bar never opened, as this was one of the reasons we chose hotel Fiamma. Lastly there is a lack of public rest areas in the hotel.

The Fiamma was the perfect solution to the problem posed by a 7:30 am flight home from Fiumacino airport. The concierge was very professional and efficient and arranged for an early morning taxi from the hotel. The hotel is a short walk from termini and is easily located. The hotel was clean. The hotel, however, is very loud. There is very poor sound-proofing. We heard our neighbours in the hallway late into the night as they talked and jingled keys to open doors. The street sounds were also very loud. Having said all that, the hotel room was on sale at 70E and this represented very good value. While we would not normally choose to stay near the termini, this hotel provided the perfect solution to an early flight home. I would highly recommend this hotel for this purpose...unless you are a light sleeper!

Rooms are clean and quite. I got the room with last minute offer 84 Euro. Otherwise I do not think it deserve the regular price. Shower is very old style and fixed on the top only. In general I can say it is good hotel but anyway I expected maybe more after reading so many possitive comments below.

Good breakfast, quiet room, clear bath and too soft bed.

The hotel was located very close to the train station as well of other sites.

Very pleased with the hotel. The breakfast was very good with plenty of choice and was quite early enough for us as the earliest we made it downstairs was about 7.30. It was a pity the bar was not functional and there was no tea or coffee making facility in the room. Those were our only complaints. The room was cleaned daily, the staff were polite and helpful. We found the location ideal for us, close enough to the station to be really convenient for the airport shuttle, trains and buses, but not so close as to be unpleasant. We managed to walk from the hotel as far as the colosseum one day and the Piazza Navona another - because of its proximity to the station it was also easy to find our way back on the buses. We would definitely stay there again if we were to return, and we hope we will. We had a fabulous time.

Good location, near station and therefore easy access by Metro and bus to tourist sites. Staff gave good recommendation for restaurant areas and good directions on tourist map to find our way around. Small point was that we ordered a double room: when we arrived, it had been set upas a twin but reception was very apologetic and immediately offered to change. We had a quiet room at the back: note that rooms at front of hotel may be noisier, so request quieter rooms when you check in.

Good hotel for all the attractions,great breakfast but a bit pricey for a 3 star but you only live once.

Hotel is located near train and metro stations in close proximity to major attractions. Service was just fine nothing fancy. Price included local taxes and breakfast.

Found this hotel last minute from Florence and was happy with the outcome. Location is convenient to train station and hotel staff was very helpful.

Great location, 2 blocks from the rome Termini Station. Lots of restaurant near by.

An oasis of comfort and silence in the termini area. I did not have breakfast, so I can´t rate it. Check-out time 10.30 am might be a little early, but the hotel offers a baggage deposit free of charge for the rest of the day.

The initial reception reflected the hotel: polite, but tired and in need of cheering up considerably. This hotel we found to be an excellent base, close to the train station, which was not the nicest of areas, but within reasonable walking distance of all the main sights. (Care if using the metro - we were pickpocketed! Hotel staff less than helpful, but British Embassy excellent.) Breakfast was excellent, and very wide-ranging, but dirty cups one morning. Room was nice size, tidy, cleaned every day. Hotel lacked relaxation areas - so-called 'bar' was in the lobby.
