Hotel Igea - Rome

5.6

Clean Old hotel

1.6

The aircondision did not work since it is broken from august! We couldn't sleep for 2 nights and the service provided by the receptionist was very poor.

6.2

I visited Rome with my family, staying in triple room for a week. The advantages are definitely good location (closeness to the main tourist attractions), friendly staff, silence at night (at least in this week). As minuses I would mention quite small room, poor breakfast (at the end we were already fed up with the croissants and buns) and ants in the room.

8.4

I thought the hotel is quite nice and was good value for money. Great location near the Termini station. Staff are very friendly and the overall feel is good. I think what you get for your money is very reasonable. I would happily stay here again when on a budget.

9.2

I got a double room for 65€, given that this hotel is just next to the Termini station made the whole thing a lot easier. The rooms are clean and good breakfast what else can i ask for, for 65€ a night. Overall recommend it to all

6.5

I stopped here for 1 night and have to say that Hotel Igea is a good hotel in its class but could be better. The staff are very professional, helpful and serve you with plenty of smiles. The room itself is just about ok, I mean there's nothing you would expect more than a bed and a small TV. The toilet is a bit old fashioned but it does not smell, so that's good! The hotel is located not too far from the central station which is convenient. However, the surroundings of the hotel is not the best I've seen and I wouldn't recommend it for families.

Hotel was conveniently close to train station and public transportation and the center of the city. Staff were helpful and courteous. Room was clean and adequate. WiFi did not reach the 6th floor, but the lobby computer made email accessible. Breakfast was not super but adequate and tasty. The laundromat across the street was very convenient and I was able to wash and dry all my clothes within an hour. Overall a very positive experience. I would without question go back to Hotel Igea again.

4.9

Booked for 2 nights, but stayed 1, July 2009. Moved to a hotel nearby. The hotel is outdated, AC barely works, rooms are old, looked worse than some of the hostels I stayed in. Elevator stops between floors, so you have to haul your luggage anyway. Overpriced for what it offers. You can find a better place for the same money!

9.1

It was the first time I stayed in this hotel. It have not many confort but it is dignified and above all it is cheaper. I would return again in the next occasion.

1.9

I checked out early because the hotel staff was unbelievably rude and incompetent. The wi-fi rarely worked and no one could tell me when or if it would be fixed (wi-fi was the primary reason I booked the room). I asked a man at the front desk to suggest a restaurant and he said he didn't know of any. At one point, I purchased wi-fi time from the hotel next door and even asked another hotel on the street for tourist information, both Hotel Terminal and Hotel Contilla were quite helpful and friendly.

6.4

not spacious, convenient near terminus, quite old inside the room, needs a bit of refurbishment

9.3

Very pleasant hotel, very close to the Termini Station (side exit from the platform 25 - trains to/from Fiumicino airport going directly to the hotel), good price (50 Euros single room), free Internet connection in the hotel lobby. The only thing I missed was a refrigerator in my room. Because of the very hot days, the air condition did not work properly during the night. In general, I was very satisfied with this hotel.

8.9

Very close to the station, the hotel is the right place to stay if you want to visit the town, not losing all your money in staying at the Hotel. I just missed fresh fruits and yoghurt for breakfast; as for the rest it was perfect. I think I will come back

1.1

I stayed in a single room: it hasn't been painted for years; sheets and towels smell badly; TV was not working for 2 days, noone cared to fix it; telephone was not working for four days; no connection to Internet; the owner was rude, indifferent and didn't speak english; the staff was polite and willing to help, but couldn't do much.

6.8

El Hotel es lo que ofrecen en la página de Venere. Ideal para Roma ya que uno lo utiliza sólo para desayunar y descansar.

6.9

Clean, simple accomodation. Friendly staff and easily located to Roma Termini. Not the nicest area of Rome but all areas easily accessible from the hotel's lcoation.

5.1

Shower room was far too small and shower head was awful,unadjustable!I was forced to wash my hair everyday. TV was small and bad reception.The worst thing was breakfast with limited items even SUGAR !!!Only the location was convenient.

8.5

I`v spent 3 nights at Igea, Nice, clean and close to termini station(less than 5 minutes walk), and around 20 mins from Colosseum. Loads of restaurants on the street, Good location. we payed 300 euro for 3 nights.

9.0

Impeccable, situé près de la gare et à moins de 10 min à pied du Colisée. Situé dans une rue avec très peu de circulation et donc peu bruyante. Excellent rapport qualité-prix.

5.1

En general un hotel sencillo de ubicación centrica. El desayuno es realmente muy poco y la comida ofrecida no es satisfactoria, solo es croasant, jugo y cafe ademas de dulces... podrian mejorar la atencion de los empleados al momento de servir la comida ya que es un servicio ya pagado por adelantado. Por lo demas un hotel ajustado a las necesidades de un turista que quiere conocer la ciudad.

1.9

Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt in Rom. Durch die Lage des Hotels in direkter Nähe des Hauptbahnhofs waren alle Sehenswürdigkeiten fußläufig zu erreichen.Das Personal war sehr nett. Die Zimmer zum Hof sind sehr leise.Die Betten sind etwas durchgelegen. Das Frühstück war auch umfangreich und gut. Jederzeit wieder.

7.9

Good location,good room but not so good breakfast

8.6

My husband and I stayed for one night after 36 hours of travelling from Australia. We needed a clean, quiet room with a comfortable bed. We were on the top floor, one floor above the lift and had a great night's sleep. Being near the train made arrival and departure so easy. We had half a day in Rome before catching a train to Cinque Terra. The location enabled us to spend 5 hours walking around Rome taking in the Coloseum, the Forum, the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish steps. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was small but good value.

7.7

We came to Italy last year in the summer and decided to visit Rome when it was cooler and not so busy. The link from the airport to the station was very easy. I had e-mailed the hotel to advise the time of arrival and was greeted cheerily by the receptionist, who was waiting for me. We stayed in Rome for 4 days and the hotel Igea was an ideal base. I was worried what breakfast was like because the reviews had been poor, however we were given tea and coffee and the waiter was very attentive, although this might be because the hotel was not very busy. I would recommend this hotel for anyone who is looking for a comfy bed and a shower inbetween sightseeing.

9.7

The room was small but really clean. The Hotel is not far from Santa Maria Maggiore Cathedral and within walking distance to the city center. Nice place for short-term stay with sculptures in dining area :-)

7.0

Overall stay was OK. Reception friendly and helpful. Small bathroom not to mention the shower (difficult to use even for single person). Traveling a bit around Europe I would expect much better variety for the breakfast (for this price).

8.4

Igea is ideally located close to the Termini and a walkable distance into the city. One staff member in particular (female) was very helpful with shopping tips, maps and internet access. Clean hotel. Walls a little thin - or do Italians speak very loud?

8.2

This is a really reasonable Hotel close to underground, railway station and Colosseum. Don't expect too much from the breakfast, just enough to start your day. We had a room looking to the street which was quite noisy.

7.1

Hi everyone, just a short comment on the hotel for our weekend stay in fall 2008. Hotel is very close to the termini station, thus it's perfectly suited for exploring rome. It's quite and clean but the breakfast is really poor, basically cakes and biscuites. Although, the price qualtity ratio could be better, this hotel can be recommended if one doesn't expect any "luxury".

7.7

Pretty much as I expected, the breakfast was a little better than I feared. Got at least a continental buffet.

8.7

Very poor continental breakfast for 3 star hotel (EUR 80 per night)

8.3

perfect budget hotel... and thats exactly what it is no fuss no frills. very clean perfect location and the showers may be small but they are mighty perfect for our first trip to Rome

5.5

Booked for one night before an early morning flight as it is conveniently located near the train station. Otherwise, not much else to offer. Basic, small rooms (which did have good windows that kept out street noise); sheets with holes; hair stuck to the bathroom wall (!?); no room safe; pleasant enough desk staff. Seemed more expensive than it was worth.

2.8

Location location location. Close to Termini Station, which is the main route to the heart of the city. Easy to find. Room was fairly clean. Very basic room. Apparently a double bed is two single beds pushed together. Very hard mattresses with broken springs. Miniature joke size shower (taps fell off and doors wouldn't shut). Cold bottled water sold at reception - price dependent on who's working at the time. The cleaning lady starts her daily routine at sunrise, so don't expect a lie-in. Way overpriced. Sugared croissants were good however.

5.9

Used this hotel for one night layover. It was very close to train station, but that meant noisier than necessary. If on vacation, I recommend staying elsewhere.

6.2

The location of the hotel is good. It is convenient whether you go out by train, metro or bus. Train station and bus terminal are just nearby, only 10 min. walk. Nevertheless, it is difficult to find the hotel if you've not been to that place before by using the map and instructions from the web page. The information are confusing. They claimed that they provide wirless internet service at the lobby but I could never get my notebook connected to the service. None of the hotel staff, actually there was only one person on duty, could not help me because he had no knowledge on computer.

8.1

id say this hotel is in the heart of rome and if you like walking you can do all the sites from this hotel or take the bus or metro 2minute walk to main termi bus/metro station great location we had great time went for 5days and if i go to rome again id stay in the hotel every one was helpfull in the hotel

6.0

Too expensive for the service provided.

6.9

Location very convenient Bus/Train/Metro links. Ideal for someone who just wants somewhere to stay and is not bothered by frills and extras.

7.6

Our room and bathroom booked thru Venere was fairly large. We returned later for 2 nights at the end of our trip in Italy and the room we had was very small and the bathroom was barely large enough to move around. It was located on the 2nd floor and on the street. It was 5E less tho. The staff was friendly and helpful. Having free internet access was a plus!

8.2

A very clean, friendly hotel with easy access to everywhere via Termini station but not in a particularly good area. Hotel would greatly benefit from offering tea/coffee facilities in the rooms or even at a public point - none at all except at breakfast. Breakfast fine but very limited (lots of biscuits/cake). Would have no hesitation in going back to Igea again.

7.5

This was a reasonably OK hotel, A bit noisy with the window open, no carpeting, and a very small shower. The staff were all great, some were better at english than others, and all helpful when we had questions. It's located within walking distance of the main train terminal and other transportation. We were cautious when walking in the neighborhood after dark. The beds were some of the most comfortable of our entire trip. For the price I would stay there again.

9.4

Nice Hotel, near to the station, everything with venere.com by internet was perfect!

6.3

The hotel is ok if you are looking for a hotel close to the metro and train station. It is just 5 minutes walk. The side of the room was ok and the bathroom were clean.

7.1

A Roma per affari ho trovato comoda la posizione vicino alla stazione Termini. L'hotel è molto spartano e l'apparenza è più bassa delle sue tre stelle, però la stanza era pulita e il personale cordiale. L'ho scelto perchè non ho trovato niente di meglio nel rapporto prezzo/qualità, in zona.

9.9

Hello Friends ! That was my first experience visiting Rome and it was absolutely great. I had comfortable moment staying at the Igea Hotel. I like the aura when entering its lobby. The staffs are very friendly and helpful. I stayed at room 604. Nice hotel for staying in Rome. I would recommend this hotel to all guests of Rome ! and I definitely stay there whenever I come back to Rome. :D

9.6

Third trip to Rome, third different hotel. This hotel was very clean, staff friendly, and the hotel itself is two blocks from the main train and bus station (Rome Termini). Easy walks to all the big tourist sites. Two blocks from a metro stop that will take you to the Vatican. Outside noise was minimal to non-existent. Depart the hotel, turn left, and walk down the street about 500 yards and there is an inexpensive, very good eating establishment with tables inside and outside. I will stay in this hotel any time I return to Rome if it is available.

7.4

Pretty nice hotel, nothing special, conveniently located next to the central train station. Very small room but clean, everything was in order, decent pricing. Will definitely consider returning.

7.5

The shower was VERY small. I would have rated this hotel better if the older thin man at the counter would be less terrible. The lady in the breakfast area wasn't much better. However, Antiono was fantastic, the ladies were OK and the bald older man was nice. REPEAT....THE SHOWERS WERE SMALL.....& they need to remove the thin older man who enjoys being mean. Very nice cleaning staff. The location was great to Termini Train station. My dates of stay were 9-20-07 until 10-02-07...I got to this late...sorry

2.8

braekfast lousy for this price (140,-€), parking place must be inclusive

7.9

The Igea is a very central, clean and nice Hotel. To the station "Termini" you have 2 minutes to go. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and nice, but very clairaudient. The breakfast was a bit meagre! There was no bread, only zwieback and sweet pastries. But when I come back to Rome sometimes, I'm sure, that I'll book this hotel again.

1.4

I would like to draw your attention to the very poor standard of Hotel Igea. It is supposed to be a 3-star hotel, but really, by any standards, it doesn't deserve a single star. The furniture is amazingly poor and old, 2 small beds instead of a double bed (for a double room paid 140 EUR), a shaky cupboard, of course no safe, the bathroom is really apalling: the shower corner is so small that a normal person (60 kg) can hardly enter it and move inside it. It is not bigger than 2m x 2m, including sink and toilet. An incredible experience, we changed hotels after 2 nights (we would have changed earlier if we hadn't an early trip on the 2nd morning). Thank you for the survey. Best regards, EZ

9.1

I have stayed in several hotels around the Termini over the years and the Igea ranks up there in this price range. Very polite and helpful employees, bright and clean breakfast room, spacious and comfortable room...I will stay there again and recommend it to friends.

7.6

Frühstück besser als erwartet. Straßenlärm in der Nacht, aber bei geschlossenem Fenster war es erträglich. Personal freundlich, kompetent und hilfsbereit! Wir als Gruppe haben uns wohlgefühlt!

8.5

Hotel suficiente para alojar. No tiene acceso a internet. Atencion de pasajeros variable de acuerdo a la rotacion del personal. Mucha variabilidad en el trato. Muy bueno en gente joven y malo en persona mayores, especialmenye en la recepcion.

8.4

Good for single traveller for short time. Good location, clean BUT small room & very small shower cabin.

6.5

PAREJAS y familia, el desayuno no varia, el mismo todos los dias, la calidad es baja vs el precio del hotel.

7.1

Practical, safe and clean hotel, on the "better side" of Stazione Termini and closer to centre. Good choice if just overnighting comming/departing from airport/train. Fast and efficient check-in /out. Choice of restaurants, services, internet, etc nearby. A dignified building, rooms are immaculate, but small. Space for improvement in lighting and decoration. Bathrooms are renovated with all the facilities and the smallest shower cabinet ever seen. Air conditioning alla italiana (maximun speed/cool is just a fresh breeze) and works all day, unlike some hotels which disconnect it during the night or add surcharge. Public areas are pleasently furnished and decorated. Lift stops in a mezzanine between floors, so you have a choice of going up or down. Not very convenient with heavy suitcases or for disabled, old people. OK for one or two nights, would not stay here for a whole week. Slightly overpriced.

2.9

First room, cramped, no chairs, battered walls. Only 1 person could fit in the bathroom. Second room slightly better. We stayed one night and cancelled the other 4N. My wife made the mistake of using an extra juice glass at the continental breadfast and heard about it from the waiter. Hotel Contilia just down the street much better and a better price,130E/N

7.0

All important historical sights are in a range of 15-20 min walk. 5 min to metro / bus / train. Would book this hotel again.

7.0

The hotel is at a convenient location where it is close to the train station. There are good restaurants around, as well as internet cafes, cash machines etc. The shower in my room is not that good, and the mattress is too old, and I could feel the bumpiness. One hotel staff was not very friendly when serving breakfast.

7.5

Nice hotel, good breakfast. Not in the best area but handy to the tain station

8.4

Nice hotel, convienent for the station, realtively central. Lots of good basic resturants close by.

6.9

Within easy walking distance to rail station. Quiet and safe surrounding. Clean but basic room -price could be lower for facility provided. Staff was courteous and helpful to our inquiries.

3.5

140 Euro a notte per un albergo del genere è un FURTO!!!!!! Mai più 140 Euro for this hotel is a fraud! Never more with Venere.com

5.9

The main problem is noise.

8.5

The location of this hotel was quite convenient to the train station. There were three very good and reasonably priced restaurants in the neighborhood. The room we had was very quiet and quite comfortable. The price was reasonable. We spent eight nights at this hotel. The staff was consistently courteous and helpful, providing us with useful information about public transportation and making reservations for us at the Borghese Villa. We found this to be on the better hotels we stayed at while spending a month in Italy.

6.6

They could not find my reservation in the first place! but luckily had other available rooms. The staff are very friendly and the location is so handy. Overall, highly recommended if you aim to discover Rome and only spend minimal time indoors.

6.3

Hotel location is quite good. all public transportation is available within 5 minutes walk. It provides the basic facilities and service you need.

5.5

The shower stall was uncomfortably small, and there was a leak in the bathroom. The hotel staff was unfriendly.

9.0

We would recommend this hotel to friends. It is convenient to the train station and in walking distance to Coloseum, Roman Forum, Panthenon, Spanish Steps etc. Staff was friendly, gave us a map with sites marked. Didn't speak much English, but we managed. The breakfast area was nice. Food was ok, cereal, packaged pastries, juice and good coffee.

5.9

This was my first time to Rome and the hotel was very clean and basic but it was too far from the centre of things. Its in an excellent location for the train station but coupled with this there are a lot of vagrants hanging around. The hotel has a ringing noise at the front door everytime you enter and this gets very annoying at night when trying to sleep.

3.9

Ugly room and hotel. Plus: close to Termini, so convenient if just stopping over. This is not a very nice neighborhood so for longer stays - avoid.

8.9

Hotel sympa, pas trop cher et qui vous permet d'avoir accés rapidement aux 2 (et uniques)lignes de métros de rome, aux terminus de nombreux bus et de la gare de Termini à moins de 5 minutes à pied. Le rapport qulité prix est très bon avec un personnel, qui même si il ne pratique pas la langue de Molière, est fort sympathique et compétent. De plus la chambre est disponible à partir de 11h00, ce qui permet de prendre rapidement une douche après une nuit dans le train couchette !

5.8

The hotel is easy to find, according to map from Venere.com. The nightclerk was all other than serviceminded, the rest of the staff friendly enough. The room was small but clean. The bathroom was microscopic, the shower in particular. The breakfastlounge was the best we have experienced in Rome (4th time), and the waiter was very friendly. The hotel is situated somewhat far from the major attractions in Rome, and the neighbourhood is not too pretty. The restaurant across the street serves good authentic Roman food; recommended.

6.3

A very impersonal staff, a very limited choice of breakfast food. I don't reccomend this hotel if you're looking for a comfortable stay. On the other hand if you're looking for a small, clean hotel with a good relationship price/quality you'll like this hotel that is located in the centre of Rome, near the train station.

9.1

Location is very ideal for tourists, very near to public transport system. Hotel was clean, breakfast very good. Only two remarks, the toilet is really tiny,had no hand shower and second, no service to keep luggage once the room is checked out. I had to keep it in the lobby without any responsibility from hotel management. It is better to charge a small fee for this service and keep in the lobby under the responsibility of the reception. For tourists, it will be a great relief. Overall I enjoyed the stay very much and is recommending to others. Good value for money.

8.0

The room was adequate, clean, and in the back of the building (no street noise!). It was air conditioned, however the in-cieling unit was VERY noisy and I had to use earplugs on the second and third nights to sleep in comfort. The hotel is only three blocks from Termini station, and when we couldn't walk to our destination within the city (which was rare), we hopped on the train easily and quickly.

7.4

The hotel does not have internet connection in any of his rooms, whereas in the venere website they claim to have the internet facility. The welcome in the breakfast room in the morning is not excellent due to the rough attitude of the waiter.

7.9

Stayed there in their single room on 18 June 06. Location very close to Rome Termini Station. Had no problems locating it. Room was clean, bathroom is ensuite. Surroundings felt safe even at night.

7.5

The Hotel was exactly what we needed we had a double bedroom the shower was a little bit small but over all the room was off good size and the all of the amenities we needed we didn't go to breakfast so I cant comment on that but all in all the hotel was really good for us 5 mins form the main station a 15-20 mins walk to trevi fountain and the staff were always very helpful especially if we were asking for directions and a few nice cheaper little restaurants very near by and the surrounding area waa fine we didnt have any problems walking back late at night. would definatly stay there again.

7.8

The hotel was what we expected at the price. It was very convenient to the train station and we had no problems walking around the area. It was a little noisy at night.

8.8

Very nice Hotel we had a good staying.

9.1

We got what we paid for. There were no surprises. The location was excellent, if noisy. Our room faced the street. The room was large and spacious.

9.2

Very helpful and friendly staff. I was unaware that breakfast was not included.

8.6

A good hotel in central Rome with all needed facilities. Our only objection is the quality of the bread. How can Italians serve old or factory produced bread in plastic for breakfast?

4.5

d'être demandé de finir le petit déjeuner à 10.05 (horaires 8.00/10.00)est pour moi pas très commercial. Acceuil assez "sec"

7.2

Especially in the morning it was very noisy because the charwomen worked very noisy in the other rooms. The room itself was very quiet since the window was to the courtyard. I can not recommend the breakfast in the hotel.

6.1

The room was a decent price and clean, the location was ok (by the train station), it was just a plain, standard room, no frills. Laundromat across the street, which is a plus.

6.2

Ok place for the price - we wonder how it compares to bed and breakfasts though.

9.8

The staff at the Igea were extremely nice and welcoming. They were more than happy to assist you. The rooms were nice as well. The only issue was noise. The building is older and the sound proofing not the best. However, the wonderful staff as well as the rest of the accomodations more than compensated for this minor item.

7.4

very god breakfast (for Italian standards), employees very friendly except for owner (who appears rather lofty to the customers)

7.1

Hotel Igea is situated at five minutes walk from Stazione di Termini, an ideal place to start your tour in Rome. The rooms al good and clean, the breakfast is typical Italian, so don't expect too much of it. Overall we had a nice stay their

9.8

This hotel was exactly as it was represented on Venere's website. This hotel was a great place to stay. It was very close to the Termini train station and there are many restaurants in the area.The one thing that seem to disappoint was the noise of the hallway coming into the room, late at night. The staff is exceptionally welcoming and helpful. We will stay there again.

7.9

We were very happy with our 3 nights here. It is a very short walk from the Termini, there are cheaps restaurants close by aswell as internet cafes if you need them. The staff were very helpful and most of them spoke quite good english. A lot of the major sites are within Walking distance aswell. Well worth a look.

9.4

Very happy with staff. Extremely helpful.

6.7

Overall the room was comfortable. It had everything that the website said it would have. But there was a lot of internal noise - we could hear just about every footstep the guy above us made - bring your earplugs!! Locality was good!

8.8

Recently we (a group of four adults) stayed there. The rooms were nice - locations also not too bad although surroundings are not too impressive. But that applies to any hotel near Termini. Altogether we will stay there again in future.

6.5

La zona non è bellissima (non ci si può fare una passeggiata nei dintorni, soprattutto la sera) ma è molto comoda (vicinissima alla stazione). L'albergo è pulito e c'è un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Colazione sufficiente (abbondante ma tutto preconfezionato). Ideale per brevi permanenze in cui la vicinanza alla stazione è importante.
