Hotel Pavia - Rome

Alas, we dubbed this place "Hotel Povo" as it is really very run down and does not reflect good value for money. We have been delighted with every other property we have booked through Venere, but this one was a great disappointment. No elevators, poor room furniture. I would not recommend this.

Pavia is very near to Termini.It's about 5 mins walking to the Termini metro exit of Via Marlasa.Our room is directly face to the Park and had a very nice view.Supermarket CONAD is two blocks away from Pavia and is very easy to be found.Breakfast is a little bit simple but its cappuccino is more than great.A fly in the ointment is the continous noise of the washing machine after 11 o'clock everynight.

This hotel is in a great location. Excellent hotel, internet available in rooms. The place was excellent value for the money. Very helpful and pleasant staff. I really liked it and would defenitely recomend it.

Good location, close to train station, subway and nevertheless very quiet. Very nice breakfast. In the bathroom you have to fight with shower and toilets! Good start point to walk through the city. Only Vatican is worth reaching by subway.

We stayed four nights in Rome with anawful lot of sightseeing, afterwords ist was very nice to leave the noise of the city behind, There is nothing to criticise on Hotel Pavia, only the bathroom door we didnot like a lot.

Not far from the main train station. Although the rooms were quite small, but a very nice hotel

Nice view but rooms very little and a bit not clean....

The receptionists were so warm and supportive (English speaking staffs). The information provided by them was so helpful that there was no need for a tour leader! this hotel is clean and is located in a very very good part of the city. the rooms were better than expected for the price.

Gut in der Nähe des Hauptbahnhofs gelegen, nur etwa 5 Minuten zur U-Bahn. Ideal für Besichtigungstouren. Ich kann das Hotel nur empfehlen, nur scheint mir der Preis für die Klimaanlage von € 19 pro Tag etwas hoch.

The only thing that disappointed me was the room size - very, very small!!! The staff was very helpful and friendly!

Very helpful and pleasant staff. Rooms needed some basic maintenance e.g. cracked sink, toilet seat not fixed shower not very nice. Peaceful location for centre of city. Some people openly using drugs in the street outside, not very good when you have children with you (I know this is not within the control of the hotel)

The only negative point is the breakfast; no choice, frosten bread, chemical orange jus... but the coffee was excellente !

The only good thing about this hotel is its location, which is close to the Termini station. If you dont mind having a shower in a toilet, then be their guest.If you picture a toilet with a shower tap between the toilet and the basin, thats what the shower is. I am not normally a person to complain, but I will not stay here again, Please remove it from your site.Its not worth the price. I would have rather paid more to stay elsewhere.

The hotel was exactly as communicated on the venere site. Clean and friendly. Photos show reality. Location excellent, close to all means of traffic, easy to reach all important places within the city centre. Staff was welcoming and helpful. They were even very flexible with early arrival / late leaving. The buffet breakfast was better than we could expect in Italy. We would WARMLY RECOMMEND Pavia to anyone who searches a decent middle category hotel to stay for 3-5 nights.

We had a single and a triple room. Both rooms were clean, but very cold (we had to sleep in pullovers!), moreover the single room (and especially its bathroom) was very small and noisy because of a nearby toilet. On the other hand we enjoyed the conveniant location (on the backside of the terme Diocletiane and very near to stazione Termini) and the tasty breakfast.

Ottima la posizione perchè molto vicina a Termini ma la stanza era veramente piccola.

Closed to the Rail Station but very quiete rooms Inconvenient: no separate bathroom only one rail; bed not really confortable

For one night is Ok, but more ? the near to the station is top

La zona es un poco "chunga", sobre todo a altas horas de la noche o de la madrugada. Una noche cuando llegue al hotel, había en el pasillo de entrada (que no forma parte del hotel, propiamente dicho) personas "no deseables" bebiendo vino. Otra cosa que me dejo un poco que desear fue la ducha. Era una cortina y se salia el agua. Luego la tuve que coger con una toalla. Por lo demás el hotel esta bien, económico, internet gratis, una buena localización. Recomendable solo si buscas algo barato.

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit in Rom. Das Hotel war genau wie beschrieben. Einfach, aber gepflegt. Auch das Frühstück war prima - einfach aber ausreichend und mit allem Kaffee, den man sich wünscht aus einer großen Maschine. 5 min. zur Statione Termini, 30 min. zur Altstadt zu Fuß. Super! Busse vom Termini verkehren ständig auch zu S. Pietro! Einige Restaurants in der Nähe. Ich war mit meinen 3 Kindern (12, 14, 16) in einem 4-Bett-Zimmer und das war völlig unkompliziert.

I paid 120Euros per night, and the big selling point was that it had free internet wireless access at no additional charge, and it is less than 3 minutes walk from Termini. Yes, granted there are better hotels for more money, but based on the location and what it offered, the place fit the bill. Yes, there was mold in the bathroom, and the walls were thin, so that if your neigbhors were noisy, it would be hard to go to sleep. Again for what I paid, it was great. Granted, if I had done more homework, I might have found a better place. The hotel people were friendly and helpful, like all service people should be. Again, understand that this is not the Ritz Carlton.

Location was good, very near Termini Metro/Train station, but in a quiet street. Other hotels are nearby and a couple of restaurants/bars. Price Value not Good - for 145 we could have gotten a much better hotel. Overall, we didn't find the room or the facilities very clean, the carpet seemed old and dirty, and the walls were covered with upholstery not very clean either. But at least the bed (sheets) and bathroom were ok. Breakfast is included. Not so good but ok. Very limited quantities, they don't replenish.

Hotel Pavia was quite OK to the price for the room. The staff is friendly and helpful. I red earlier comments before the visit and do not agree with the negative ones. Though, I would recommend the hotel to get rid of the filthy wall-to-wall carpet in the room. The room faced to the right the D... thermes and you could see the backyard to the streethouse in front, with much green, children noising and dogbarking in the early evening. but that is ordinary life. The nights and mornings were very quiet.

The only point of this hotel is the location, near to the station. We had chosen it because it said wifi free but actually we couldn't even download e-mails because the connection was extremely slow ! During the night they even disconnected wifi. There was one small shower room with toilet and shower (so small that you could do both at the same time) and after shower the floor got completely wet. Anyway the water was cold , too cold to take shower. At night it was noisy.

L'Hotel non è assolutamente corrispondente alle foto sul sito: è vecchio e mal tenuto. Piccolissimo, con un bagno improbabile. Nonostante questo è pulito e accogliente. Il personale gentilissimo e disponibile. Ottima la colazione. Si può considerare un buon due stelle.

All'inizio abbiamo avuto una stanza con un bagno invivibile, poi siamo stati trasferiti in una bella stanza...ci ritorneremo!

Location was good relative to Termini and Metropolitain, however large group of street Vendors in adjacent area (direction of Termini)fouled this area. We found it better to approach hotel from opposite direction.

A very pleasant stay in a charming hotel. We enjoyed our stay

Struttura molto comoda rispetto alla stazione Termini ed al centro, ma rispetto al prezzo la pulizia ed il confort delle camere non mi sono parsi soddisfacenti, in particolare il bagno anni settanta...andrebbe rifatto.

This was an awful hotel. There was an extra 10 Euro charge for a/c, and the room was dated, old, and dingy. The owner's dog barked and cried for several hours (starting at 12:30 am), and I was told by Frederico at the front desk that there was nothing that he could do. It's amazing that the owner, Sergio Villarini lives at the other end of Rome, but keeps his dog in the kitchen of the hotel to keep his hotel guests awake. I would NEVER return here.

The Pavia is in a good location - quiet street, 5 mins from Termini. We had a quadruple room (2 adults, 2 children)which was very cramped and the decor dated. It was okay as we were only there 2 days, but not suitable for any longer. The staff were helpful though. There is no lift, if you have a lot of luggage. Fine for a couple who want to spend time out and about, but a family - no.

The breakfast lady was great, always helpful and happy. Great way to start the mornings!

Very quiet but the shower was a disaster.

Very good and central location. Just a few minutes from Termini, and the bus from Ciampino (the airport) stoped just across the street. Very quiet location in a backyard. Walking distance from the central part of Rome. A small room for breakfast, but the breakfast was ok!

The Pavia is a decent location since it is close to Termini, which is convienent if you are planning on using the buses or Metro to get around the city. However, the hotel is not close walking distance to any of Rome's major attractions. The room was really small and the bathroom was even smaller. The shower was literally a small square glass capsule and had very very poor water pressure. There is also not a lift (elevator), so if you have heavy suitcases, be prepared to drag them up the stairs. The best part of the hotel was that there was free internet service available in the lobby. one more comment is that the pictures online do not represent the actual hotel or it's surroundings itself. the pictures make it seem like their is a courtyard area?? I would not stay here if I was to revisit Rome.

This is a very nice hotel. We really enjoyed staying there. They even have internet access for free. Breakfast is very good, but the room where it is served is too small, so you must wait a long time for a table to sit. They do not accept visa travelers cheques in euro. Can you believe that? But I would definitely stay there again!!!

Quand nous sommes arrivés à l'hotel réservé, il n'y avait plus de place malgré la réservation datant de plus de 1 mois. L'hotel nous a trouvé un hotel de remplacement de niveau supérieur mais au même prix à 500 m du pavia ou nous avons été tres bien accueillis

Nous n'avons pas pu loger dans cet hôtel car problème de chauffage. On nous a déplacé à l'hôtel voisin le Windrose situé à 50 mètres. Mais le service de la réception était excellente.

Hotel was being spruced up consequently workmen around and smell of paint was a slight problem. But booked well in advance for two double rooms for single use for myself and friend. Was asked to move to a single - refused - following day was told friend would be moved to a different albeit close hotel as he was only there for one night! Refused and room was found for him! How very italian! Breakfast good and generally standard of rooms etc good. Good to have a safe and a mini bar in the room. area a little rougher than expected but not bad. On my first night asked reception about local restaurants and was directed to good local tratt and they also provided map. generally very likeable place and people.

We had an overall pleasant stay apart from packing our case on the morning,going for breakfast in the hotel, going back to the room to collect our case and heading straight to the airport. After arriving home and unpacking we found our camcorder missing, our camera and numerous other items, we cannot prove that it was staff from the hotel or its happened at the airport, either way very upset and highly disappointed.

I am very happy in this hotel

Hotel good, although room was very small. Do not visit the Music bar next door to the hotel. it is a rip off

The hotel sucks. We booked 3 nights. Stayed only first night cause it was compulsory, then moved into another hotel which was: much better, better located, same price. There are a lot of hotels in the area —and closer to city center— which cost exactly the same money and are better. I don't think I'll book hotels through this web anymore, since it seemed to me it was a waste of money for such a poor service.

Very pleased with our stay. Though the room and bathroom were both very small. Beds were comfortable, room was clean, lots of hot water, clean sheets and towels, very quiet, great location, good breakfast, free internet, english speaking and helpful staff. I would stay there again.

PLEASE DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOTEL, THREE FEMALES ARRIVING LATE AT NIGHT IN AN AREA WE DID NOT KNOW. WE STILL WOULDN'T STAY IN THIS HOTEL. THE LOCATION WAS GOOD BUT THAT WAS THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT THIS HOTEL. STAFF WERE EXPECTING US THE ROOM WAS READY, WE WERE NOT READY FOR THE ROOM. I THOUGHT I HAD JUST WALKED INTO A 70'S FILM SET. WE COULD HAVE LAY IN THE DOUBLE BED AND TOUCHED THE W.C. THE CARPET WAS THREAD BARE THE ROOM WAS DARK AND DINGY AND THE ANTS PARADING ALL OVER THE FRIDGE WAS THE FINAL STRAW. CONSIDERING WE VISITED IN JANUARY THIS WAS NOT WHAT WE EXPECTED. WE DID EXPLAIN TO THE RECEPTION THE REASON WHY WE WERE NOT STAYING, THE FACT THAT IT WOULD STRUGGLE TO MEET A 2 STAR NEVER MIND 3 STAR. OF COURSE HE WASN'T VERY HAPPY AND INSISTED WE PAY FOR THE ROOM. IN THE END WE PUT THE KEYS ON THE DESK AND LEFT, THE ISSUE OF PAYMENT IS STILL OUTSTANDING. THEY HAVE MY CREDIT CARD DETAILS BUT NO SIGNATURE AND THE CARD COMPANY HAVE BEEN INFORMED.

All excellent (near to the railway station, bus and centre of the city,courtesy, good room with beautiful sight,clean,good breakfast,near to an best restaurant,internet).

Room very small, breafast room small,breakfast poor choice. Had ants in wardrope problem was delt with, although no apology from management.

This hotel was awful. When we arrived it looked ok, we went out for the day and came back to our room to find Ants crawling all over the room, our thing and the bed. The staff were not helpful and the breakfast was very poor. I do not think anyone should stay in this hotel on a trip to Rome.

The Pavia is excellent. The location could not be better and Rome is superb. Graham Taylor

La ubicación estuvo muy buena,las conexiones con autobus y metro estupendas, el mesero que nos atendio el primer día, ni los buenos dias nos dio, la mesera del segundo día, nos atendio super bien, Desgraciadamente la habitación apestaba a cigarro y ni se diga las toallas, olian espantosas y en la recepción se molestaban si les preguntabamos por algo (hasta caras hacian de enfado), las fotos de la habitación que vi por internet no se parecen a la realidad, ni se diga las camas en que estado se encontraban, se ve que hace años que no cambian los colchones ya hasta un hoyo en medio tienen, así que se podrán imaginar lo mal que dormimos y descansamos.

Bon séjour à Rome. Hotel calme, plutôt central et correct. Pas de mauvaises surprises à attendre pour un séjour en hiver en tous les cas.

We stayed in a quadruple room and we were very pleased for our accomodation. First of all the staff of the hotel was reallly friendly and helpful througout the stay. Arriving in Rome, we found the hotel without any problem, and we found the conditions really good, suplemented by tasty food and confortable location. The hotel itself is lovely, with additional charm of the green passway and views on the Terme.

Terrible treatment after they had overbooked the hotel, blamed it on the computer, did not bother to contact me before and did not offer any compensation. Manager never showed up, nor contacted us by phone to talk about situation and let his staff deal with it.

The hotel was in a perfect location. It was a 5 minute walk from the train station and was easy to find. It was only a 5 minute metro ride from the train station to most of the city attractions. The room was clean and spacious enough for 2 people. The front desk people were friendly and they provided us with a map of the city and other sites to visit. Overall, I would recommend Hotel Pavia to anyone. The price is perfect for this hotel.

Terrible bathroom - size of a wardrobe with a shower head sticking out of the wall between the toilet and the sink. Water was cool even when turned full on.

The bathroom was inundated after the first showering which was not such good because the second person who entered the bathroom had to stand on the wet cold floor (perhaps this is good in summer).

This hotel doesn't have elevator and that's terrible because with the suit-case and a baby we don't like.

We couldn't get a room with a bit of view.The window in the first room was opening to a plant. We couldn't really open it. The second room was smaller but at least we could get a bit of light. If your neighbours are noisy, you could hear it in your room. The shower in the room was very small. Actually it was just a shower and a curtain in the toilet but then again, you get what you pay for. The price was cheap and it was really close to the main train station and the pick up point for Ryan Air bus to airport. Very handy as we had to get the shuttle bus at 4.30 AM.

Definitely not your typical idea of a 3-star hotel. More like a two star. For a one night stay just to have a place to sleep, good. But for people who want to stay more than a night in Rome, go somewhere else. Staff was friendly.

When I checked in, I was told I needed to pay an extra 13 euros for air conditioning. This was not mentioned on the Venere website. When I agreed to pay the extra amount, since it was really hot and humid, they told me they didn't have any more rooms with a/c.

Our rooms were adequate.However, we had 3 rooms & it would have been nice if the 3 rooms were on the same floor. Our breakfasts were quite good & coffee was excellent. A nice plus was having internet service provided for the guests. The hotel being so close to the train station made traveling quite easy. We were able to walk everywhere, except to the Vatican, because it was further away.

Buono il rapporto qualità/prezzo. Penalizzante la zona rispetto alla qualità dell'albergo.

Double room with only one double bed whereas it had been request 2 small beds. Room air-conditioned in Option with 15 euros per night. Too expensive hotel vis-a-vis the service

Staff helpful and friendly but room expensive for what was provided. Free internet use a bonus but charging 13 Euros per night to use the air conditioning (essential in Rome!)and a similar amount to park one's car adjacent to hotel was excessive and unexpected.

Une vue superbe sur les Thermes, juste ä coté de la station de train. Méme si la climatisation est ä 13€ par jour et par chambre le rapport qualité-prix est excellent.

Very little room and bathroom. At breakfast they only service coffee and nobody asked you if you wanted anything than coffee.

The location just by the station and close to Via Nazionale is perfect. The kids loved the free Internet connection and went online to chat with their friends immidiately. The breakfast was fine and for you who have seen Fawlty Towers on TV they actually have their own Manuel :-) to meet your needs. Private parking and always a pleasant greeting when you enter the hotel makes this a true hit on our journey.

The overview of hotel in venere is deceptive. It is not of the hotel at all. We did not realize that we had reserved non airconditioned room and had to upgrade, less than 10 Euros. We prefer to stay near the train stations and this location was perfect for that and busses and metro.

The staff was friendly and nice. Room & bathroom were small, but hey it's Europe, it's expected. Our room faced a back alley which kept the noise level very quiet. Breakfast not so great. Overall experience was good for our family-- we're never in our room anyways. Good location for using buses and metro.

I'm sorry to say our stay at the Pavia Hotel was disappointing. The quad room was extremely small, the beds uncomfortable, the bathroom tiny and extremely noisy. No elevator to the third floor with luggage a hassle. A two star hotel at best.

The hotel is not right in the middle of the action but it's right beside the terminal, easy to get metro but walking to places is not that far either. The breakfast of the hotel is excelent...order the capuccino!

I have already recommended Pavia to a friend planning a trip to Rome. The location so near the buses & trains could not have been more perfect. The breakfast was great and the morning staff very pleasant and quick to meet your needs. We were always pleasantly greeted upon our return & our request for wake-up calls was handled perfectly.

Location near train station is terrific. Staff was friendly and helpful. The room has seen better days. The carpet was filthy and the shower so small you could not turn around in it. This is really a two-star hotel.

My room was small but more than adequate with a very small bath. I did have a wonderful view across the Roman Museum! The staff were very helpful.

Tranquille, calme et bien dans l'ensemble; belle vue depuis l'escalier sur le jardin du musée. Petit souci de changement de chambre sans préavis. Conseil : ne pas laisser la voiture dans la rue si vous y tenez.

Filthy walls, hairs covering the sheets, leaky faucet and a big welcome from the hairball floating in the toilet like a cockroach's liferaft. This place made me almost cry. Thank god it was our last in Italy

The location of the hotel is very good in the aspect that it is close to the train station but in the evening it is not very plesant. We paid the highest price for this hotel comapred to our entire stay in Italy but it was the least plesant place. Of course hotels in big cities are always less quality for more price but i think the price should be a little lower for what you get. The service though was very good and the atmosphere was nice

This is not a 3 star hotel as far as I am concerned. It's a standard 2 star. There was electrical wiring hanging out from the walls which I thought was dangerous. There is no secure luggage storage if you want to pick up your bags later in the day. The facilities are very basic and not stylish or elegant as the website suggests. There is nothing stylish or elegant AT ALL.

I never saw that view from the picture they have on the web page!! They put 3 beds in a room for 1 bed. Parking is 13 euro, not like they advertise. Is really hard to find since only the door of the place is exposed to the outside. It is a laberinth to find. Next time I will look for something better. this is not a 3 star place!

KEEP OUT!!!

The Pavia is a short walking distance from the Station and the drop off point for the Ryanair Coach. It is a quiet oasis in a busy part of the city. The on-line details were accurate so there were no surprises when my wife and I arrived. The beds were firm and comfortable. The size of the room was reasonable, and the en-suite bathroom was small but adequate. The staff were welcoming and helpful. We would be happy to pay a further visit to the Pavia.

The hotel staff were all courteous and eager to help us. We felt the accomadations were in line with what was advertized on the venere.com website. We would recomment Hotel Pavia to friends.
