Hotel Orlanda - Rome

9.2

The best points of this hotel is its location,just afew minute-walk from the railway station of Rome.The price with breakfast was reasonable enough. The hotel stuff was very friendly and helpful.We told him that we would like to skip breakfast on the last morning(in the tree-day-stay)because we would have to take an early-morning-train.About half an hour later,he brought a snack and a pack of juice as a next-day-breakfast to our room.The meal was nothing special,but we received something special and warm from him.

9.9

Everything was wonderful. The young lady in the breakfast room was very warm and welcoming. Thank you for everything.

8.4

The room was a bit noisy, but it was a nice room and very close to the train station. It was easy to get around to all the sites we wanted to see and we found a very nice and very friendly restaurant around the corner. Angelo's is a wonderful place to eat a quick meal. The staff there was great. The staff at the hotel all spoke English so that was very helpful. We would stay again.

9.0

Stayed for 3 nights in Sept 2009. Great location close to Termini. Friendly and informative front-desk staff. Purchased Roma pass through them. Great value on museum and unlimited bus/metro. Front-desk very knowledgeable and helped us make reservations too. Free wireless internet. Breakfast was good. Will definitely recommend it to friends.

9.9

Excelent location few meters from termini station, train, metro, bus, good and cosy street restaurants. No need for taxi. Excelent accomodation/bathroom and staff. Free wireless net. Excelent breakfast (compared to usual breakfast in italian similar hotels). Best price/quality we ever found in Rome. It is a 2 star but superior to much 3 stars we have been before. Don't worry about the poor entrance look of the building and the tiny elevator. Inside the hotel everything is perfect. Rooms facing the street may be noisy if you leave windows open. With windows closed and air conditioning (5€ extra for the remote)it is OK. They have a very convenient self service refrigerator with drinks at fair prices.

Family of four (mom dad 9yr old girl 7 yr old boy). We loved this hotel, the staff was super helpful, the room was new, clean, big and for 15 extra euros we had air conditioning. All amenities of a bigger name hotel. Worth the money, would stay there again. Breakfast was excellent.

9.0

Small, funky, inexpensive pensione in centre of Rome, with helpful staff and reasonable rates. Would recommend for anyone looking for good location on a budget.

9.1

Excellent location both for airport connection (5 minutes walk from the main railway station)and for sightseeing (on foot or by metro and bus). Bring a pair of earplugs, the room was overlooking a busy street.

9.7

thought staying so close to a major termini i thiught the whole area would be very dodgy and maybe dangerous could not have been more wrong the room was very spacious and very clean would have no hesitation at all of staying there again everything you need to get around is at the termini.

8.4

This was the best hotel we stayed at on a budget trip to Europe. This was the most expensive hotel we had for the entire trip and in return turned out to be the best, which just goes to show you get what you pay for. I was especially happy with the staff and breakfast. All staff spoke English, or enough English to get us where we needed to go. The breakfast was ready and available every morning. It is true, breakfast is scheduled each morning, we never had a problem. The food was excellent! Plenty to eat! The street below our room was noisy as people had said, but the noise actually put me to sleep. The air conditioning was turned off after our first day, I assume we would have had to ask how to turn it back on because there weren't any conspicuous buttons. But it was pleasant outside. We just left the window open until bedtime. The neighborhood was safe to walk around at night, but might be disconcerting to some. There is a laundromat/internet-cafe doors down from the hotel, which was very convenient. Great location to several restaraunts and the train station. The grocery store we used was at the train station. We bought snacking food and lunch there daily for very reasonable prices. After a while we became less adventurous for food and just opted to eat the already prepared food from the grocery store because it was cheaper, and delicious. It was very convienient for sight seeing as the bus station is at the termini train station. This hotel was everything I expected and MUCH MORE!

7.4

The room is very tall, but the smells of old buildings and kichtens of restaurants nearby are not enjoyable. However, all the employees are very polite and helpful and the hotel is so close to Termini Rail Station, that we only spent 3-5 minutes to catch the train by walking.

7.4

Un hotel muy bien ubicado, con buena atención de su personal, limpio, con baños un poco pequeños. Veo bastante aceptable la relación precio-valor de este hospedaje.

8.9

Excellent selection

9.9

Excelente, lo mejor de mi viaje a Roma fue el hotel.

8.9

Great place near Termini station. Felt safe and secure, as the staff buzzes you into the corridor of where your room is located. Breakfast was pretty decent - very creamy hot chocolate! There was a bit of an odd smell from the cleaning detergent that they use though.

8.2

Clean, hot shower, eanugh breakfast and very kind service. That's all that I want from a budget hotel and that's what Orlanda gave to me. I would repeat.

9.6

The staff was excellent. Very helpful with every question. The hotel is very convenient to both Termini and all locations (on foot) in Rome. Although train station locations can always be a bit risky after dark, we felt very comfortable in this neighborhood. Excellent choice!

7.7

Nice and Beatiful staff, hospitality and helpful. A little bit noisy by the road. Good for transportation. Poor breakfast.

8.5

Really nice and really clean. Room was spacious and clean, nice beds, bathroom had shower and was very clean as well. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was satisfactory with croissants / cereals / coffee / juices. (breakfast was included) I would say that overall it was excellent value for money and I would definitively return / recommend it.

8.9

The staff were friendly and helpful, the location was central and the price was inexpensive. Also, the breakfast was quite reasonable. If I needed a cheap hotel near termini again, I would be quite happy stay here.

8.4

Exactly the right place where to stay if you are in Rome for work or need to catch an early train. Large, well furnished rooms, WI-FI, very friendly and professional staff, I will definitely be back!

9.3

very nice and helpfull staff, lots of restaurants in the neighbourhood, close to Termini station (metro, buses), the street by the hotel noisy (couldn't open the window), very small breakfast room (need to make reservation of the table) but breakfast is ok (Italian style)

8.4

Good location, just near train station and walking distance from the city heart. Neighborhood business are mainly own by foreigner so not really Italian imersion.

8.4

Great hotel for spending a few days in the center of Rome.

8.5

We travelled with 2 older children and found that the quadruple room was spacious and very clean. The hotel is a 2 minute walk from Termini Station which is perfect for getting on the metro (subway). There are many convenience stores close by with fresh fruit, bread and groceries (reasonable prices). If you are physically disabled in any way, avoid this hotel. The small elevator is very narrow (it will not accomodate a wheelchair) and there are no ramps (typical of Rome). The continental breakfast was good and the kitchen employee was friendly who kept the shelves well stocked. I would recommend this hotel to all of my budget conscious friends - we will go back!

9.4

Mi esposo y yo estuvimos cuatro noches en Roma, alojándonos en el Hotel Orlanda. Cuando llegamos, el aspecto exterior no nos pareció muy bueno, la zona en principio tampoco, incluso subir por el ascensor es algo tétrico, pero al llegar al piso, realmente desde un primer momento la atención fue excelente y la calidad el servicio también. Totalmente acorde el precio con el servicio. Muy cómoda la habitación y completo el confort. El desayuno de muy buena calidad y abundante. Totalmente recomendable, a pesar que la zona no es tan linda, su ubicación cercana a los medios de transporte es inmejorable.

6.9

A more detailed map for use when arriving at Stazione Centrale would have been more helpful. Perhaps even written directions would have been easier. Overall a very good experience at Orlanda, staff very friendly and spoke good english with lots of facilities around the hotel in close proximity. Eg self serve laundry, cafes for breakfast/lunch/dinner city sights

8.0

Great location, excellent service and very reasonable price

9.5

Hi! My staying in this hotel was so glad. Thank you!

8.8

Persons very kind, they help us in all problems we have because our bagage was lost at the airport.

9.7

Our stay at Orlanda was very good we had a family room for 4 people on the 5th floor it was a great big spacious room for us. Location was excellent only a bit dodgy be very aware of your bags and wallets. My husband came close to being pickpocketed by a homeless old women on our arrival walking from the station. Breakfast is not great we had better breakfasts at other hotels, but there is a lot little cafes in the area were you can get a good coffee and any thing else you want. The hotel staff a very helpful and pleasant, the breakfast staff tend to be a bit grumpy and a smile wouldn't go astray. But we enjoyed our 3 day stay at Orlando and would stay here again.

7.6

l'arrivée surprend un peu : cour commune qui distribue l'acceuil de plusieurs hotels, un vieil ascenseur (l'acceuil Orlanda est au 3e étage)mais cet hotel nous convenait tout à fait, de plus bien placé pour l'arrivée par Termini et accessible à la visite à pied du centre de Rome. Propre, simple sans superflu, possibilité de restauration presque en face dans la rue avec un menu à 15€ (hotellerie et restauration à Rome sont très cheres). seul bémol, le petit déjeuner (au 5e étage) : très petite salle, choix assez limité, pas de fruits, café en poudre machine ! pourrait améliorer sans trop de frais et un peu d'idée ! nous avions demandé à la réservation une chambre calme et même si Rome vit toujours avec un bruit de fond, nous nous sommes bien reposés après nos longues journées de visites et de marche ! nous nous sommes sentis en confiance pour ce 1er séjour dans une grande ville et je le recommande au hésitant à budget mesuré.

Hotel is in the same building and is sharing the entrance with a bunch of other hotels. It's actually occupying the 3rd floor of the building so you need to pay attention to the signs on the building when looking for it for the 1st time. Our room was spacious, clean, furnished with newer furniture. Looked out on some kind of a service alley which wasn't at all bad. It actually lowered the city noise a bit. Hotel staff spoke good English, was helpful, gave us pointers on what places to visit and how to move around. Speaking of which, the location of the hotel relative to Termini train station simply can't be beat - it's a 5 min walk away. And since Termini doubles up as a Metro station using it is a breeze. It's also a 20 min walk away from the Colosseum. Neighborhood, even at night, did not feel unsafe at any point. Breakfast, although not the most plentiful, was sufficient to start off the day - yogurt, cereal, croissants, fruit jams, variations of coffee, tea. Due to limited # of seats, they ask you to reserve the 30 min window for it the next morning. Make sure to plan your time as you can't just come in and sit down any time you want. Overall, we would definitely stay here again.

8.3

good quality/price relationship. We were three in one room although for one single person it is expensive. The rooms are nice, clean and spacious. Breakfast is fine for a **Hotel. The employees are nice and competent. The hotel is close to the railway station and metro with plenty of restaurants in the same street. We would definetly come back to Orlanda.

9.6

I have stayed at Orlanda numerous times now--it's really my Roman home-away-from-home. Although I originally chose the hotel for budgetary reasons I now consider it an integral part of my visits to Rome. I like the rooms but most of all it's the friendly and welcoming people, like Marco and Paolo and Michele. Orlanda is a great value.

9.1

We had no complaints about our relatively inexpensive room right by the train station and the metro lines. We had to leave before breakfast the last day, so they brought us a portable breakfast the night before. There was no coffee available in the hotel except in the breakfast room--we were told the espresso machine was too noisy to turn on. There were excellent places to eat very close by.

8.4

We spent a few nights here in October 07, during the half term holidays. It was the first time we have stayed close to the station, as we thought it would be noisy, but this was a good price for a family room so we thought we would try it. The hotel is easy to find, a short walk from the station. Some of the side streets looked a bit seedy but no one ever bothered us. We walked everywhere from the hotel, it is about a 10 minute stroll to the Forum. It is worth noting that while the hotel occupies 2 upper floors of an old pallazo, there is CCTV at the main building entrance, at reception and at the door to the 6th floor rooms. Guests identify themselves at the intercom before they are admitted. There is a small lift, with room for 2 plus a case, but you should remember that this is a very old building with little space to add the new mod cons the more luxurious hotels offer. Our room was spacious, with plenty of floor space for suitcases, and a clean, well supplied bathroom. The double glazing kept out most of the traffic noise, but bear in mind the hotel is in a busy area, we heard plenty of sirens and horns. Take earplugs if you are a light sleeper. The breakfast room is too small to accomodate all guests at once, so to combat problems they ask you to book a time slot so you are sure you will get a table. The lady serving breakfast seemed a little grumpy sometimes with 'lingerers', but I imagine it is difficult if you have someone waiting for a table that the previous occupant won't leave. We tried our italian on her and she was much more friendly. Breakfast was a selection of super-fresh pastries from a local baker, bread, couple of types of cereal, juice concentrate, tea and chicory coffee. We stopped for proper coffee at a bar on our way out every morning.

9.0

The Hotel Orlanda was an excellent off-season deal. For fifty euros I got a clean, large room, with free wireless internet, breakfast, a small guidebook, and a map of Rome. I found the staff to be extremely hospitable and friendly and would recommend the Orlanda to anyone else traveling in Rome who is looking to stay near Termini.

9.4

A pleasant hotel in a convemient location. Walk to the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon, and the Colliseum. Helpful staff. Good breakfasts.

9.9

Our general experience at the hotel Orlanda was excellent. The staff were particularly helpful. We did notice some mould in the ceiling of the bathroom, but it did not seem to change while we were there.

8.5

have stayed at this hotel on many trips to rome over many years. never had a problem with this hotel. staff have always been very good breakfast ok, it is walking distance from termini and not to far from all the things to see in this wonderful city. bit noisy outside at night but what do you expect youre in rome.

7.9

Hôtel dans l'ensemble agréable, hormis le petit déjeuner pitoyable.

7.7

The hotel is nice, staff is really helpful and kind (speaks english well enough to communicate smoothly). Unfortunately the rooms are not quiet enough at the night - good for a few days city-visit, but would not live in such a noise... Good starting point for sightseeing, as metro lines and objects to see are near enough as well as Termini train station. In fact, with no walk problems you can reach all major things on foot in the centre from this hotel.

8.3

Ideally located close to the Termini. Has excellent breakfasts however make sure you arrive at your nominated time as the breakfast room is small. Stayed in both a 5th floor room (excellent) and a 3rd floor room which was noisy because of traffic and foyer noise. Easy walk to many locations or by catching the bus at the Termini. Staff extremely helful and knowledgeable which made our two stays there very enjoyable.

8.2

We spent our last night in Italy at Orlanda, so it was convenient to the train in the morning to get to the airport. Its a bit of a hassle to get to the rooms, as the reception is on 3rd floor, rooms on 5th with a tiny elevator. The window looked over an ugly courtyard. However, the room was clean and the staff accomodating, giving us our breakfast to-go as we had to leave early.

7.1

Location is convenient to the termini. Teh car they called for us to go to the airport was a bit pricey. Location is great for train access and wandering a bit, it is a kind of downtown kind of area, more low-end shops, fairly easy access to other sites by taxi. Hotel was comfortable, no-frill - but a good night's sleep with helpful staff. It is off a busy street, but most noise is blocked out by the windows.

8.0

Functional Hotel. Clean etc. Only gripe was lack of hot water flowing from the shower. To get a warm shower, I had to restrict the flow to a TRICKLE. In fact it took so long to have my shower, I missed breakfast! Maybe I need to lose a few pounds an they did me a favour!

8.5

This was an excellent hotel with a 24-hour, friendly staff who were willing and able to give help and advice to customers, as well as great service. The room was bright and clean, and very spacious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be recommending Orlanda to anybody wanting to stay in Rome. Thank you!

9.6

perfect location, staff very friendly, excellent breakfast, from the railway station only some minutes to walk,

9.5

Nice breakfast, clean room, convenient location; I will definately come back to this hotel. Some noise from the traffic outside, but I wasn't bothere that much.

9.2

Very convenient location, near the Termini Station and lots of restaurents. Very nice breakfast is included, which is excellent. Noise from the traffic outside, but overall, it was quiet. You should ask for new towels if you need since they change them every other day.

3.8

Hotel staff wasnt friendly, some were rude. Shower was clogged and breakfast was lousy. And got to walk a flight of stairs to reach the main reception. It is near the Termini Railway thereby making travelling in Rome very convenient. Many restaurants nearby. Not ideal for long stay as there were many better hotels nearby. Ideal for budget travellers.

10

Hello....a group of students from my college stayed in this hotel in January. There was no problem with the hotel, but when the charges came in there was a 150 Euro charge from an Albergo Georgina in the same building. This charge was NEVER authorized or signed for. What is this for? Before I protest to Visa I want to communicate with you. We have used Venere for many years now with complete satisfaction. This is the first problem we have ever encountered. Thank you, Professor William Berensmann

9.6

We stayed only one night at the Orlanda but would not hesitate to stay there again. Some families may find the rooms a tad small, but we found ours to be sufficiently spacious, especially given the price. We also found the staff to be very friendly and helpful, in a low-key sort of way. All in all, excellent value for the money.

8.9

We stayed at Orlanda for five nights over New Years. The staff was very accommodating and spoke English. Our room was on the 5th floor street side, so it would have been really noisy if the windows had been open. I think this is typical of most rooms in this section of Rome. It was super-convenient to Termini which was the starting point for all our sightseeing. We would definitely stay there again.

7.1

very clean room.

7.0

The location of the hotel was good, only a couple of minutes from the Termini railway station and so handy for all the main tourist sites. A basic hotel, which provides a decent base for exploring Rome. We would consider staying again at Orlando.

8.9

I went to Rome many times and I found Orlanda one of the cozy hotels I was lodged

8.2

We chose this hotel due to other comments on the website, which were very accurate. It is very close to the Terminal Station, and we walked from the station to the hotel and back the next morning. During the day, the location was OK, but the area got loud and rough at night. We went to dinner next door so that we didn't have to do a lot of walking at night. Front desk staff was very helpful, with recommendations for the best pizza in town. The hotel starts on the 3rd floor, so the lift was necessary for our guests; one of the reasons we chose this location. We would stay again, although we would love to see the price drop!

6.5

Convenient 2 blocks from the Termini train station and walking distance from major attractions. 3rd floor check-in desk and a lot of street noise if window was open. Room larger than most European rooms we encountered. Very friendly helpful staff. Won't make room reservation with credit card over the phone which was very inconvenient for a later stay on the way back home.

6.8

It was fine for the price, but ask for a room over the courtyard (rather than the street) and if you are in one of the rooms that open directly off reception, don't expect to get much sleep. The breakfast was ordinary - avoid the chemically re-constituted orange juice at all costs. But this was better than expected, given the price - much better. Clean and hospitable, english speaking, and kept our bags for us after checkout (stacked in a corner of reception!) We'd stay there again (but would probably take ear plugs)

9.2

The hotel Orlanda is on the third floor, which isn't a problem because there is a small lift. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They gave us a guide to Rome and asked if we wanted any information. Our room and ensuite was large and clean. The breakfast room was on the next level. The Hotel Orlanda is very close to the Termini. We were able to walk to and from the station. There are many good restaurants in the area. But the best would be the staff. They were all so friendly and obliging. We would definitely stay there again. For a 2 star hotel, it was better than some of the 3 star hotels we stayed at.

9.4

My husband and I needed a place to stay close to Termini station. The Hotel Orlando was a great choice for that. Even though, it was not quiet outside (you get so tired from walking and scienery that you do not mind the noise) and the hotel was located only on the 3rd floor of the building, it was comfortable, it had an elevator, the bath room was inside of the room and the staff could speak English. The staf was very friendly and helpful with directions. I recommend this hotel to young people, who are not too pickie. It is a great hotel to stay in Rome if you are planning to be there for a few nights. When we will return to Rome we will definetelly are going to stay in Orlando.

2.3

This hotel is nothing like it adverties. The lift is horribly small, the reservation desk in on the 3rd floor (we had to take the lift in two trips since they were working on repairing all the stairs) then you get your room and have to talk the lift (again in two trips with luggage) to the 5th floor. EXTREMELY noisy in the mornings...terrible location..would NEVER recommend this hotel to anyone since there were others much much better which were even at a lower cost. DO NOT STAY here or you will regret going to ROME.

8.7

The Hotel is very close to the main train station in Rome. It is located in an old building, you have to take an old elevator to the floor of the hotel. Overall we were pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness of the room, our shared bathrooms (2) were located just outside our door across the hall. The breakfast room was very nice and the selection of items more than adequate. Overall the hotel provided exactly the services advertised and a rate that was affordable. We would stay here again.

9.7

We had a great stay. The best thing about Orlanda was the helpful staffs. They gave us maps, guide books, recommondations, search for train schedules, etc. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Great value for the price.

8.1

Very nice place to stay but no lounge, bar or anywhere to socialise or sit other than your room. Breakfast is on another floor but this was not a problem. Staff very friendly and all spoke good English which was very helpful!

9.6

Neat and clean rooms, spacious, good breakfast

9.4

If you get what you pay for, then the Orlanda is very good value. It was very much as outlined in the the Venere.com web page. The welcome and service from reception staff was excellent, the directions, maps and guidebook were helpful. The change of bedding and towels every day was welcome. If there was one concern it was the small size of the shower cubicle, for those of us with a wider girth! The hotel is central, very close to Termini, with shops and cafe's around. We can recommend Trattoria Angelo around the corner which like the Hotel Orlanda offers an excellent service at a reasonable cost. We will use both WHEN we return to the Eternal City. Arriederci Roma Jim and Lesley Howison

9.2

Is a very good option if you need someting cheap, clean and close to the train station, you could walk to take the subway. Is very clean and the breakfast is good.

7.9

Termini area is not great, especially at night when you start seeing beggers and peolpe living in front of shop entrances. The prostituates tend to hang around certain shops too. A two star hotel in Rome is quite an experience. You first come into a bare entrance area where a small lift takes you to the 3rd floor where you find the reception of you hotel mixed with room belonging to another hotel. It was a bit confusingly disappointed at the beginning, but once you were inside the actual hotel area everythig brightens up. The rooms were spacious and clean. The service was friendly and welcoming. Orlanda was a nice expericene and would definitely consider staying there again.

6.9

Easy to find from the train station, and good location to tour Rome. The check-in process was quite lenghtly and the area provided for check-in was small and only allowed two people. Some members of our party of four had to wait outside, and were unable to speak to the staff or ask questions. Staff was very indifferent to our stay and failed to explain a lot of important information, such as how to activate the power source in the rooms, and check out time. Had to pre-schedule breakfast time because breakfast room only seated 10-12 guests. Would only stay at this hotel again if spending one night in Rome

9.7

sehr netter Empfang, sauberes Hotel, gutes Preis/leistung Verhältnis. Wir würden Orlanda sofort wieder wählen

7.6

Room is very clean.Not far away from train station and metro station.So it is very convenience to visit most Roma's attraction.One defect is quite difficult to find it because it locates in a building with many hotels in there.Overall it is very good to stay.

9.5

There are lots of dives around Termini - this isn't one of them. This might be the best bargain in Italy.

9.6

A hotel sharing a building with other properties presents an unusual entry to the hotel lobby, but all other aspects of the Orlanda were excellent. I was surprised with the spaciousness of our room. The security of the building entrance and hallways was very good. The location was great. This would be my choice for another visit to Rome.

8.4

We really enjoyed our stay in Orlanda. Although the hotel is basic it was clean and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We would definately recommend this to anyone looking for cheap accommodation in Rome.

8.6

We had a great time in Rome, and our hotel was clean, spaceous, located near the centre and the service was good. We will recommend it to other travellers.

8.1

Good location and friendly helpful staff. Disappointed in having to pay additional 5euros per day for airconditioner.

6.4

the hotel is just a couple of blocks from the termini train station which makes it a good home base if you are planning trips outside of rome via train.the hotel location is close to a variety of restaurants and walking distance to tourist sites in rome.the rooms are clean and spacious.there is a free breakfast every morning which is enough to get you going in the morning before you start your sightseeing.

8.7

Une adresse a recommandé pour l'efficacité de son personnel, le rapport qualité/prix de la prestation. Une localisation trés pratique car proche de la principale gare d'autobus de la ville. Des chambres récemment rénovées et bien tenues. Aucune désagréable surprise entre les attentes et la réalité de la prestation.

8.7

it's a perfect place to stay when you are on a short visit to Rome. Close to 'Termini' -the major rail station and a lot of restaurants around.

9.5

We had a very nice stay at the Orlanda. The location of the hotel and proximity to the train station and main attractions was outstanding. We liked the breakfast. Since our group included two boys (ages 8 and 10) we were particularly happy to have a laundromat downstairs, although the "colorful" street life outside the laundromat made for some interesting discussions about cross dressing male prostitutes. The room was large and clean, as was the bathroom. We could not have asked for more. I would definitely stay there again.

9.7

Wirklich zu empfehlen: freundlicher Service, sehr saubere Zimmer, zentral gelegen. Wäre der Kaffee beim Frühstück frisch gebrüht (statt aus dem Automaten) gäb's noch einen 3. Stern dazu. Wer das nicht mag, trinkt einfach Tee. Wir würden wieder hinfahren, bei den Preisen darf man wahrlich nicht meckern!

8.8

Despite its otward apperance, this is a very nice hotel. one of the few in italy which actually had air conditioning, although they charge you extra for it (why they don't just include it in the cost of the room during summer months I don't know). It is very near the train station (3 minute walk) and not far from the colloseum and other central cites. since it is close to the train station this also means it is close to a metro station which means everything is easily reachable. the neighborhood is not the greatest, but the hotel is very secure (have to buzz in every time to get to the hotel). overall a great value compared to other hotels. (we had a double and a triple room... traveling with the in-laws). oh, but breakfast was nothing to write home about, but in italy I recomend trying the local pastry shops anyway.

8.0

At Hotel Orlanda I enjoyed a pleasant stay, the staff were very friendly and welcoming and all spoke english. The room itself was spacious, clean and had everything described on the website. The location of the hotel was good, it was very close to the termini station and sights. I definatly recommend this hotel to those who wish to stay in a budget hotel but not comprimise on quality, the only downfall is the hotel is on quite a busy road so it is still noisy at night sometimes.

8.2

The Hotel Orlanda is two streets from Termini, ostensibly in an area guide books describe as unsafe at night. The authors should stay at home! The area was great offering pavement cafes across the street from the hotel with very welcoming staff and reasonably priced cuisine. The hotel staff were all helpful and the accommodation comfortable and clean.

9.4

We had a very nice stay at Orlanda Hotel in May 2005. No complaints - we were very happy with the rooms, service, breakfast, basically everything, so we strongly recomend this hotel for your Rome holiday !

9.1

The hotel was as excpected. Everything was good. Some trafic-noice of cource. Breakfast-time had to be booked the day before because of a very small breakfast-room. But the breakfast was very good (enough food) and very well organised.

9.2

Preis- Leistungsverhältnis exzellent !

7.3

Breakfast was very poor

8.2

We were with 5 people for 4 days in Hotel Orlanda and we enjoyed our stay enormously. It's very close to Termini station and you can reach all highlights whitin walking distance, as by metro, bus train a.s.o. Many rather cheap restaurants in the surroundings. Traffic though is rather noisy, but if you close the window it's no problem at all.If you want to visit Rome and not spend too much money on your room ( you're only there at night )this hotel is very recommandable.

7.3

Great location and very secure. Suited needs for accomodations near public transportation. Noise level was rather high from street traffic. Bathroom was a disappointment with low water pressure for the shower (at times water just dripped out of shower head and water went from hot to cold often) and the toilet was not secured to the floor. During our stay, the fire alarm went off at 1:30am and we could not evacuate due to the lobby doors being locked. The front desk person was to busy on the phone trying to figure out how to shut the alarm off rather than finding out if there was a fire and helping the guests to leave. It was a false fire alarm, but finding out that the only escape route was locked was a eye opening experience none the less. The management also seemed to put the all mighty dollar ahead of the guest's enjoyment of their vacation. But just thinking about if there was a fire during our stay and our experience, I wouldn't stay there again.

Avoid a room at the main road side. Very noisy. Everything else was very ok.

Hotel Orlanda was exactly what I was looking for. I booked the trip to Rome as a present for my boyfriend, so obviously I wanted everything to be perfect. Walking up the stairs to the hotel I admit I wasn't sure what I'd gotten us into (the stairway is a bit dilapidated), but I was pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious (mostly because there wasn't really anything in it besides the bed), newly renovated, and most importantly clean! The bathroom is small, and there really isn't much else in the room except for the bed, but we didn't come to Rome to stay in a room, so it was perfect. It is in a good location (very close to the train station) and we walked to everything we wanted to see. Breakfast is simple, consisting of bread, jam, cheese, and pastries, but it was all good. Our room was quite noisy, but after all the walking we did it didn't really disturb us! Most importantly, our room looked new, fresh, and clean. Great value for money. I would definitely stay there again.

For a short break stay, Orlanda was ideal, although being relatively basic in facilities, it was clean, secure (entry from street, reception area and including security safe in the room) with helpful, friendly staff. Before arriving I contacted the hotel by e-mail to enquire about transfer arrangements from the airport and received an almost immediate response, directing us to the shuttle bus service (Terravision). Being located near the main rail station, the hotel was relatively straightforward to find - using location information from the web (be aware that it is located in a building which has a number of hotels on separate floors, so it does not stand out). What was a real bonus was that this was at a very good price, resulting in excellent value for money. I have already recommended this hotel to friends and work colleagues planning to visit Rome in the future and would use it again if returning.

Das Hotel liegt nur zwei Strassen vom Bahnhof Termini entfernt und damit für Bahn- u. Flugreisende leicht zu erreichen. Alle Metro`s und Busse fahren von diesem ab. Perfecte location für einen Rom Besuch. Nur zu empfehlen - wir kommen sicher wieder!!! April 2005

Very nice stay. Lovely room, friendly and helpful staff. Weird setup as the reception is slightly separate from the rooms and mixed with many other hotels, but no problems.

I really only stay here for one night and left early before breakfast. The hotel and the room were both very clean and ideal for catching an early flight. Since it is veryu close to the train station, there is noise in the area. My single room over looked the street. I think a room overlooking the courtyard would be a little more quiet. All that being said, I would have no hesitation about staying here again.

Overall a very good choice - we would definetly stay there again. Only the breakfast was mediocre to say the least, but then again: Compared to Italian standards it was more than ok.
