Hotel Martini - Rome

A fine family hotel very close to all sights in central Rome. But it would be nice if we could have turned off the heating. It was too hot in the night.

this is not a 3 star hotel. Dingy entrance. elevator decrepid and sometimes not working. on several occassions had to climb 8 flights of stairs. very noisy. tiny breafast area. filthy shower curtain and had to insist on having it replaced. no hot water until after the third complaint and several hours waiting.

The hotel looks a bit old and dark. The AC is not fully working as it is 38--40C outside, they need to be changed for the next heatwave. The staff are helpful and friendly.

They had just installed new windows to make the room more soundproof. That was really nice to know. The only drawback was the inability to control the room temperature, but I think that also was being worked on. Breakfast personnel could have been more friendly. But it is a great location and they gave us a great recommendation for dinner.

We Stayed in Hotel for only 1 night the location of Hotel was very good , as walking distance from main station Termini and Republicca, The only small problem was room was facing the road and it was noisy in night. but i didnt ask for other room as i havent had any problem with that little noise. Staff was very helpfull and friendly. if someone want to stay in center of Rome i would recommend this hotel. Kind regards

We reserved a quad room. When we arrived we were given a room with a double bed and a cot. They told us that that was a quad room when I protested. Next day we were changed to a quad room only after I insisted or said we were leaving. Elevator doesn't work most of the time and the hotel is on the 4th floor. Never again!!

Great location. Friendly and warm staff.

room was clean and roomy, breakfast room very small you need to be there early to get a seat and the breakfast is very basic but nice, i found the female workers not very pleasant but the male workers were very pleasent. Overall the location was great and we had a very enjoyable stay at the martini.

This hotel left much to be desired. The staff asked that we pay in cash, the rooms were cramped and did not seem clean, and the entire hotel reeked of smoke. We will not return to this hotel, nor would we recommend it.

The Hotel can be reached by a 10 minutes walk from roma termini station on the busy street where there are many other hotels, shops, restaurants and a supermarket opposite. It is just a couple of minutes walk from the metro station and all main places of interest in roma are within walking distance from this hotel except Vatican city. The hotel is situated at the fourth floor of an old building next to a bar/restaurant and you need to buzz the bell to get in. A small hotel of 14 rooms but is clean and has all the basic necessities for a good stay. The staff are friendly but the breakfast room is a bit small with 4 tables and the spread is reasonable based on a 3 stars hotel standard. Will recommend this hotel for travellers with a mid range budget.

The hotel is located on a very busy/noisy road & the hotel staff(with one exception)were extremely discourteous.The bed was very uncomfortable,we both had backache after 4 nights,bathroom was tiny & no drawers in room.I was asked to pay my bill the night before leaving & when my credit card did not work the receptionist asked if I had enough money to pay the bill & insinuated sarcastically that we would leave at 05:00 without paying.It turned out it was the hotel's credit card machine that was unserviceable.The staff were incredibly rude througout showing almost contempt to us.The breakfast room was tiny & the recepionist acts as waiter also which seemed to cause them much annoyance.My wife & I would not recommend this hotel at all as there are many better hotels in Rome.Not value for money at all.

Great location, felt safe, easy to get to sites, train station and good food. Staff was very helpful. Will stay again on next visit to Italy.

The staff was very serviceminded, we found there recomended Restaurants very good, we were also very thankful for having been served breakfast 1 hour before normal time at leaving day.

Schönes kleines Hotel, es wird gut und gerne Deutsch gesprochen, sehr familiär geführt und jede Frage wird gerne beantwortet.

The hotel is on the 4th floor accessed by a 2 person lift. The first room that was offered, faced the street and was far too noisy. We then changed to the rear of the hotel for the remainder of our 6 day stay and the room was very good. The breakfast room is very small. the breakfast selection was adequate however if you arrived late the selection was limited.

The hotel was in a great central location, close to the train station and subway, and walking distance to everything. The rooms were small but nice and comfortable. There is a nice common area to relax in, which was nice because we were traveling with friends and the room was a little cramped for all of us to sit in. Breakfast was very good - excellent pastry's, yogurt and bread and meat. The staff was not overly friendly, but they were accomodating and spoke English fairly well. The only complaint I would have about the hotel was that it is on a VERY noisy street, which is the trade off for bsing in a central location. I would recommend asking for a room in the back of the building, not overlooking Via Nazionale as we were - I think it would be a bit quieter. A week earlier we stayed at Hotel Selene which was close by, and I would recommend it over Martini.

Very pleasant indeed. Tastefully decorated & offering good value for money. The Breakfast room is tiny & the breakfast itself a little sparse …. But this is probably the norm for Italian city hotels of this standard rating. Location is relatively central & walking distance from a number of key sites, including Coliseum & Termini railway station. Good bus routes outside the hotel & the main bus / train hub at Termini is 5 minutes walk away. There are just enough bars & restaurants within walking distance to satisfy & a late opening ‘Irish’ Bar next door (if you must!). Bottom Line – certainly stay at the Martina again.

Staff friendly and helpful; double bed very uncomfortable first night, but the owners gladly replaced the mattress for us. Breakfast room small but adequate; breakfast unexciting. Venere price was a little less than the hotel's published B&B rates. We drove into Rome and it took some time to work out where to park while we unloaded. Ended up parking illegally like the rest of the Italian drivers! Some advice on this detail on the web would be useful to anyone else crazy enough to drive into Rome.

Very good choice. The hotel is centrally located, easy to find, and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

good hotel for Rome, relatively easy to find and good location - took about 20 mins to walk from station with all our luggage. Our room was a bit small and shower was a bit hot/cold/hot, but aircon kept us cool and didn't have too much traffic noise with the windows shut. Breakfast room was too small though and the couple we were with had to wait for a free table. Hotel staff were helpful and let me store some gifts in the fridge. Also booked a taxi for us which was the highlight of the holiday - Gianni Locarino gave us a highly entertaining and informative guided tour of Rome and only charged 45 euros to get to Ciampino

Good, central location. Lobby on fourth floor. A bit constrained, but very helpful staff.

Great Hotel in very convenient section of the city. The breakfast area was small and lacking a little on the "food" but was adequate. I liked the location and would recommend the hotel to anyone who wants to stay in a 3 star hotel and get the feel of Italy. Rooms were clean. The staff arranged to have a driver to the airport upon departure and the man who took us was prompt and courteous. When we travel from the USA again, I would definitly consider this Hotel if we stay in Rome.

The staff was very gracious, friendly and helpful. The location very loud, also at night, as Via Nazionale is a key traffic artery. However, the location is a little over 10 minute walking distance from Termini Station, thus very central. Though the view was as in the picture, it's actually more cramped; not worth taking the room because of the view. Location and service great; but all the rest - loud.

The Martini Hotel is very central situated and is in a beautiful and central street in the historical center, with a lot of shopping facilities. The firts impression of the hotel itself was not very inthusiastic because it is in the 4th. floor and the elevator is really very very old. The breakfast and the quietness of the room are poor. For a weekend stay is not bad.

Excellent loction! Ten minutes walk from the train station, and less than 5 minutes walk to the Metro. Located on a busy street, but room was fairly quiet. Close to many restaurants and shopping. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff was very friendly.

Hotel Martini offered a great balance between price and quality. The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean and spacious, and the location was excellent -- right on the Via Nazionale. I definately would stay at Hotel Martini again

Hotel was very good quality for the price. One significant shortcoming was a very very strong cigarette smell in one of the two rooms we booked.

Really quite noisy from the occupants upstairs.The hotel is a boutique hotel on the 4th floor of an apartment building. Very convenient for sight seeing and a decent area with good restaurants.

My stay at Martini was great. It was centrally located,and in an area of Rome that had fabulous shopping and wonderful restaurants. The staff was so courteous and friendly ... they made you feel like you were visiting them in their home. They, also, were very helpful in arranging airport transportation. The breakfast room was small, but well worth any wait for a seat to get a cup of their delicious cappucino ... limited breakfast selections, though. The rooms were very clean ... the staff even straightened and organized our room as they on a cruise ship. The elevator (lift) had room for one person and their luggage ... so patience is necessary. The stairway came in handy for exercise ... to walk off the pasta and wine, so I rarely wanted to use the elevator anyway. They turn off the air conditioning in late September, so to cool your room you need to leave the windows (doors) open ... at night noises could sometimes wake you. All in all ... great stay!

Very good, very small and intimate family-type hotel on main arterial street but ideal location for those wanting to be near station, shops, transport and walking distance to usual tourist areas and all facilities. Located on 4th floor, entered from large, wooden, security door in street and lift. Ideal for the single lady travelling alone, but probably not for energetic children! The staff spoke English and went out of their way to be helpful when my luggage was delayed at airport, and when coat left in taxi. The "landlady" was a friendly soul, and helpful with directions. The breakfast room was tiny, and continental breakfast nothing flash, but adequate and clean. Some inexpensive and clean eateries nearby. The reception and breakfast room were the only public areas. Overall, I had a happy introduction to Rome via this hotel.

The hotel is in a very convenient location (close to train station and Metro). The room was clean. Our room was on the back of the building, however the place was very noisy: you could hear people walking and talking in the other rooms and upstairs. If you want a very quite place probably this is not your favorite hotel. However, the hotel is good overall. One annoying thing was the owner and her mother smoking at the desk all day. Also the owner initially told us that there was a mistake in the electronic reservation system since the price of the room was 30 euros more for the new year's eve. Initially she tried to bargain, but then she quit, so we paid the price that we got on Venere, but she told us she did us a favor, which I found a little impolite.

A good and not expensive hotel only for sleeping (but, generally, it's what everyone should look for in a town as Rome both for tourists and for business)

Very good

This was our first stay in Rome, and we wanted to see everything in a short period of time. Therefore the location was perfect: right by the Piazza di Spagna with the Train Station (5 min.), the Colloseum (10 min.) and the Trevi fountain (5 min.) in walking distance. The room was very spacious and clean, the employees were very friendly (even when we arrived late at night), and we could pay with credit card.

Qietness of rooms is excellent only in one side of the hotel

Take a room on the courtside, than you will feel well. Breakfest is italian, but enough for some days.

Rooms are small, ok for the 1 night stay. The painting above the bed of Remus & Romulus was a bit unusual. Close to station, a bit hard to find.

I enjoyed my stay in this hotel. Overall, if you are looking for a good location (near to Termini) in Rome and not too picky on the hotel service and quality, this one is the one you may go with.

We had a nice room Other family members had no shower head were told they would get one never happened Our t.v. remote didn't wrok were told we get a new one never happened, A couple of ther problems were not addressed at all Would go back they just need to get with the problems

The Martini is in a great location. It is close, but not too close to the Termini. The neighborhood is full of clothing stores and restaurants. It also is relatively close to the Roman ruins and Metro. Our room was large for the money and very clean. The bed was very firm. We felt that the staff was professional but a bit aloof. They may have been thrown by having two men ask for one bed, but overall they treated us well. I would recommend the Martini to freinds.

I was stay single room . almost not bat . But Shower Booth is very small (50cmx50cm) I can`t wash my foot and leg without open door. Breakfast is very simple. Venere com's map is show another location so Iwas look for near here.

The hotel was a significant element in making our stay in Rome an excellent holiday, my two young children thourght it great.

room was very clean, spacious & in excellent location. Coffee room was tiny, and 2nd cup was charged $1ero!. Same menu every day, after day 4 was boring. No help with bags, tiny elevator, hotel on 4th fl-difficlt to maneuver.staff ok,no info unless asked.still good spot, you can walk everywhere.rome was just dirty, filled with graffiti. sights magnificent.

clean and friendly but a loud street

My only complain was its small breakfast room. Limited number of tables, put close to each other. Otherwise, I liked it very much. They gave me nice recommendations on restaurants nearby.

Nothing but wonderfull things to say. We would stay at Martini again!

The room overall was good, and suited our purpose (general tourism). The bathroom however was restricted for space, with the loo tucked into a tiny corner. Ditto the shower cubicle. Fortunately there was an additional loo next door. The breakfast room really should have been better planned, as there were too few tables and we had to wait for a table to become free. Otherwise, the hotel was very pleasant with efficient staff and good decor. Location is good and very central, with most sites within fairly easy walking distance.

The location is great just walking distance from Termini station. We arrived early for the check-in time, but they keep our luggege and gave towels to us using bathroom. Staff are always friendly. Only drawback is noise from outside because the hotel is along Via Nazionale where many cars and motorbikes drive. On the whole, we had a pleasant stay there.

I nice small hotel in the Termini district. It is not the top place of ROME, but it is not so hard to walk (The center of Rome is not so Big) or Event take the bus. (Take a tiket in the tabaco Shop). The phone system was deceiving: I did not manage to call with a calling card from the hotel. I had to go out side in the street :-) Breackfast ofered is OK.

Excellent, friendly, english speaking staff. Clean, rooms are done on time. Pretty good location. I do believe the price is pretty much meets the quality. The only thing I did not like ( it is irrelevant to me but just want to say to those who count on it ) is breakfast: coffee and tea are good but the rest is very limited (that understood) boring stuff. Bottom line is go for it, and you will like it.

We enjoyed an excellent vacation at the Martini. The hotel is on the 4th floor of an XIX century building and the elevator they have is probably a relic from the Roman era, but this is just part of the fun. They offered us a great deal when we made the reservation and sticked to it. There was a small mistake with the room type upon our arrival (which was after midnight), but it was swiftly corrected in the morning and we had an enormous room with a nice view for the next 4 nights. The staff is nice, and competent, especially the night guard/breakfast guy. The hotel is strategically located within 20 minutes walking distance to all tourist attractions except the Vatican and the subway station is around the corner. You cannot want more in Rome.If you call this hotel beforehand they can even send a guy to pick you from the airport at a better rate than taxis do. Finally I would like to mention that VENERE.COM does an excellent job and thanks to it we had a marvellous vacation in Italy. Contrary to a widely spread opinion in the USA everything seems to work pretty well in this "bellissima" country. Trains are coming and leaving on time. Subway and buses are much cleaner than what we have in New York. Car rentals provide good service, highways and even country roads are in perfect condition and fellow drivers are not that crazy as you might think.

Pretty good hotel and price was competetive. No elevator but a bellboy was available to assist. We only had a problem upon leaving when the bellboy was not on time and then demanded a tip that was double what we were told by the hotel staff. This caused us to miss our train to Florence.

It's a huge appartment they use as a hotel. Splendid views, very nice people. Spacious. Car park just outside. Easy access to main roads. Not the best area (near Railsway station). A bit of a walk to sights. Don't count on breakfast. Great value for money when compared to everywhere else I've been in Italy.
