Hotel Picasso - Rome

It's a great place to stay for this price! Highly recommend. Shower is a little small, but it was fine for me.

5.9

...be sure to have a handfull of 10c coins handy - or there will be no elevator for you! ;-) and it is 4th floor, quite a walk!

8.2

We were in Rome for five nights. The location was excellent and the bed and bath fine. The breakfast was the typical European "light" breakfast but tasty and the coffee great. The price was a great value. I was disappointed, however, in not being able to access the internet on my computer, even though I was told wi-fi was available at the nearby partner hotel. Some people were able to access it, but not my mac nor another person's computer -- not sure why. Also the air conditioning was inadequate for Rome - it made a dent but not much more. The staff did speak English and was very helpful. So it was not perfect, but at the price, I was happy. Just make sure you have an internet backup if that's important to you.

8.3

Nice rooms,small breakfastroom,but good food and service. Some noice from traffic.Nice pictures of Picasso.

I can only recommend this lovely hotel. If you are looking for a central clean hotel with a breakfast with a wide choice and friendly proffessional staff, you will be sure satisfied. They provide a free wi-fi access, too. Each evening they offer a free happy hour snack with really good italian wine.

Siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti. non è vero che la colazione è povera, anzi. il personale è molto disponibile e ci ha aiutati molto soprattutto nelle indicazioni stradali e di bus/tram.Spero di poterci tornare presto.

My friends and I went for a short trip to Rome. To stay in this hotel was not a mistake. It’s clean and beautiful. We noted that the furnitures and embedded paints around adopt the taste that we clients look for in a hotel. It has a free wi-fi connections, the staff was polite and courteous. The management offers happy hour aperitives too, a very refreshing way of welcoming clients, and feel at home. We were able to enjoy our stay in Rome going around the city, shopping, dining in different italian restaurants, visiting monuments that informations were provided by the staff. The city itself has made us see the beauty of Rome in the evening... leaving it full of energy as we went back to our home. Many thanks to you, Hotel Picasso!

El hotel me gusto mucho, las habiatciones hermosas, la ubicacion excelente. La gente del hotel fue muy bien predispuesta. Lo malo: la recepcion del hotel solo esta abierta hasta la 1 pm, por lo cual si necesitas algo despues de esa hora, tenias que caminar una cuadra hasta la recepcion del caravaggio lo cual es incomodo. Ademas el telefono del hotel no funcionaba por lo que estabas incomunicado desde tu habitacion.

5.0

Is cheap but very bad bed!

8.0

Having to introduce coins in the elevator I think the most negative of the hotel. The size of the dining room are not adapted to the use of so many users in such a short time

10

From the moment we walked in the door we were treated as very important people. The walk from the Train station wasn't bad and the attractions were not far considering how spread out they are. The room was comfortable and we were surprised with a card congratulating us on our Honeymoon which I mention when making the reservations. The AC worked well. The Breakfast was nice though the room is a tight squeeze of tables. The staff was helpful in making tourist plans though one bit of information was off from what was told. The group tour that picked us up at the hotel did not take us directly to the Vatican which we were told by hotel staff. We were taken to their office first then the tour guides transfered us to a larger bus after a little wait. The hotel staff did arrange for our breakfast to be available earlier than the usual time listed in order to make the tour pickup time. We enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Picasso overall and would stay here again.

8.5

Effectivement les chambres sont petites, et située à côté de la réception ou au dessus de la porte de l'immeuble, votre chambre sera mal insonorisée mais après une journée de visite, vous dormirez comme un bébé dans une chambre propre et mignone. L'hôtel est idéalement situé, l'accueil et le prix sont imbattables! Impeccable pour notre WE prolongé.

9.5

Wunderful nice hotel close to Via Nazionale - not far away from Bus station Termini! Perfect, because the "importaqnt Bus No 64 to go almost everywhere" stops right at the corner Via Venezia (Hotel) and Via Nazionale! We will come back!

7.2

Staff was excellent. Stay was great - the only concern was that the rooms were fairly noisey.

6.6

Rezeption ist aufgeschlossen, hilfsbereit, jederzeit erreichbar; zentrale Lage, Bus- und Metroanbindung, Restaurants in unmittelbarer Nähe, Bahnhof Termini zu Fuß erreichbar; Frühstück samt Raum sehr karg, Zi/Bad sehr klein, ausreichend für 8 Tage Urlaub, Betten bequem, sauber.

6.7

Location is pretty good, but hotel is poor and not as attractive as it looked in the pictures. Breakfast room is very tiny, you can hardly move. There was nothing else served only dry rolls, cookies and cappuccino. The TV didn't work or had bad signal, a fridge in the room didn't work at all, neither did the safe, and one morning all electricity went out... However, staff was nice and accomodating.

9.4

The hotel is well located, close to shops and restaurants. You can walk to the Forum or St Peters if you are reasonably fit. Staff were particularly helpful when my wifes bag went missing at the airport. Giorgia made several calls on our behalf which was greatly appreciated.

6.9

A great location! The room was small but clean with everything we needed. Fridge in room was fantastic and staff were very helpful too!

6.5

It is a very central hotel, a bit expensive if we look to the services it provides, just bed, shower and breakfast, very continental one ( coffe, toast, butter, jam, orange juice, etc. In general I recomend it to young couples who don´t want to go to a hostel and share a room, and at the same time to be in the city centre. Thanks Philip, your information was very helpful.

5.5

Hotel room is conveniently located and all staff are excellent. Main negative is that what was supposed to be a double bed was actually two single beds. Quality of the shower was also poor.

6.2

The hotel was in an excellent location,10 mins from Termini and walkable to the major sites. However our room was just off reception(there are only 8 rooms)and was very noisy as the front doorbell could be heard quite clearly in our room when other guests returned.Also being on the first floor the traffic noise was very evident. Also breakfast was adequate but very limited.

8.8

Staff was wonderful and friendly. Very helpful and kind.

6.3

The room was clean and the size was practical for a typical sightseeing weekend. No english speaking/music channels available on TV. The breakfast was OK compared to other hotels I have stayed in Rome.

4.9

Hotel was hard to find as it was poorly marked. Owners husband accompanied us to our room and reeked of liquor. Air conditioned did not work and the fan provided was old, noisy, and did not work properly. Bathroom was crowded with 4 fixtures and we bumped into one or the other many times. Maid never made up room till nearly 4pm. Breakfast room was very crowded especially on Sunday. Room was noisy. Every time you used the elevator it cost 10 cents Euro. Over priced for location and services rendered.

8.6

Good hotel for the price; good value. One side of the hotel borders an unexpectedly noisy street, so a room on that side with the window open at night means lots of noise. We selected a double room with a king size bed, but ended up with a triple (for no additional charge), so we had a bit more room. The breakfast was included and simple but good: rolls, breads, jams, cheese spreads, cereals and milk, 3 kinds of juice, coffee, cappucino, nice server. Rooms were cleaned well during our stay. The hotel is about a 8-10 min walk from Termini. No large sign you will see from the street; you have to be almost right in front of the hotel to see the name. 24 hr desk that will buzz you in via intercom. The hotel is actually on two split floors, the 1st and 5th above ground level. ALSO, Venere says air conditioning is included and the rooms have A/C units, but on arrival in the room we were told that it was broken and not sure when it would be fixed; and it never worked throughout our stay. We were there in mid-September though, so not unbearable.

4.0

First off do not use the hotel safe. We put quite a it of money in it and 1200.00 Euro mysteriously dissapeared. I'm talking about the safe at the front desk. Our room safe did not work. They refused to call the Carbinari's into investigate and basically told us tough luck. Nice huh. The info on this hotel is VERY misleading. The lift did not work, heck it wasn't even installed. The air-conditioning did not work either. And no internet connection available. Whom ever was cleaning our room each day just LOVED going through our luggage too. By the way as a retired Police Officer I was not at all happy with how this situation was handled at all. Please think twice before staying in this Hotel.

4.8

Roma es sin duda una ciudad muy cara por lo que es dificil encontrar hoteles buenos y baratos, pero por la mismo dinero de Picasso hay mejores hoteles disponibles. En Picasso hay que pagar para subir en ascensor, las habitaciones son muy ruidosas (no por el ruido de la calle, sino que por las puertas internas que se abren y cierran toda la noche), el comedor es realmente pequeno, alguien muy gordo no cabe y el desayuno muy humilde. La atencion del personal es muy buena, pero definitivamente por el mismo dinero hay mejores opciones.

8.0

Nice hotel for the price. Elevator available, however, it required 0.10 euros to operate. Hotel did pay for initial lift when checking in. Air conditioning unit did not work, and when windows were open, it could be very noisy. We did not inquire with them to fix it, since it never got that terribly hot.

6.1

good location. Rooms are clean, but they have the worst breakfast!!

9.1

The staff is very friendly and helpful. Most speak English well.

8.3

we stayed for one night - and it was the perfect place to crash after a long and busy day - great location - so very friendly - the rooms were small and the bathrooms were tiny but the bathroom was recently redone and we did have a tv and ac.

7.0

first time in this hotel, we stayed in Rome for three days. Very good placement for the hotel.

6.4

The best thing is that this quiet neat hotel is very near to the city centre and for very reasonable prices. Moreover it is very simple to reach from the airport. So simply - good choice.

7.3

Nice location close to Termini and easily accessible to public transport. In addition, breakfast was wonderful, beyond our expectations. Although smaller than expected, the room was clean with new supplies daily. On the whole, a nice place to stay.

8.8

We loved the hotel. One online map was wrong, one was right. It was convenient to most major sites and the Termini. It was very clean and was one of the few 4 person rooms we could find. It was a pleasant stay for my family.

8.0

Our overall stay I rate positively, but one moment was unpleasant. For confirmation validity of my card it was blocked for 10 euro and released only after one month. It'll be better if the unblocking will make after my appearance at the place.

8.7

Excellent location, not far from Station Termini and main street Via Nationale. Located on quiet side street. Staff very friendly and helpful. Single room was small,but room and en-suite spotlessly clean and cleaned each day and fresh towels provided.

7.4

The hotel was ideal for a short stay. The location halfway between the station and the centre was convenient. Very friendly staff, the woman spoke only a little English, the man spoke English fluently. Breakfast was adequate but no more. Pillows are insufficient, but more were brought when I asked and with a big smile!

8.0

el hotel esta situado en una calle muy centrica, cerca de termini y de via nazionale que esta llena de negocios y de autobuses para ir comodamente por toda roma... me ha gustado mucho repetire y lo recomiendo

7.3

The hotel is well located, near important sights, good shopping, restaurants, and the train station. We were able to walk to the train station when the hotel had a power failure the morning we left and could not call a taxi for us. We enjoyed having a window that opened on the street. The breakfast was on the skimpy side, but sufficient. The entrance photo on the Hotel Picasso web site was wrong. The photo was of another hotel.

6.6

I don't feel like stay here again.

7.8

The rooms were spotlessly clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful, especially the woman in the breakfast room. The hotel is well positioned, half way between Termini station and the city centre. The only difficulty I had was that I couldn't understand how to operate the air conditioning. But overall the hotel was ideal for our purposes.

6.5

excelent located

6.5

Hotel was a good place to stay for the price. If you want nicer, you have to pay more. Bathroom was clean; Room was average-small size for the number of people we had staying there; noise level was good; porter person at night was very helpful in telling us where to go for certain things, directions, etc.

9.0

Very pretty, artistic and comfortable room with too small shower room. Near Via.Nazionale, the location is perfect. We're sure to be back here the next time.

9.0

We only saw that this hotel had been given terrible reviews after we had booked 7 nights there so it was a great relief to discover that the Picasso bore little resemblence to the hotel they described. A handy 10 minutes walk from the train station, the Picasso is also ideally situated closer to the centre than most other budget hotels. It is 10 minutes walk from the Colloseum and Roman Forum, 20 minutes from the Trevi Fountain, and the metro to the Vatican or Testaccio area (great restaurants) is close by. The room was very clean, tastefully decorated although a bit rough around the edges, had good air condidioning, a nice bathroom and the view was ok too. It was also very quiet as it is situated on a small road off Via Nazionale. The breakfast room is very small but even in mid August we always got a table straight away. The reception was just a desk in the corridor which was occasionally unattended, meaning a short wait to be buzzed in or out of the main door to the building. On the whole very good value and we had a nice stay there.

7.2

VERY FINE ROOMS IN A FINE SURROUNDING OF ROME. THE ONLY MINUS IS BREAKFAST; POOR FOR THE PRICE PAID AND THE BEREAKFAST ROOM FAR IS TOO SMALL FOR THE NUMBER OF GUESTS

8.5

The stay in Hotel Picasso was very enjoyable, with clean, air-conditioned rooms at a very reasonable rate. My only quibble was that although 24-hour access was advertised, when I arrived at 3 am (due to a late flight) I could not get into the building because the night porter was asleep. Eventually another occupant in the same building opened the door for me.

3.8

When we arriverd we were put into a different hotel as they were "full" this was a very different hotel to that desrcibed on the net. Also our shower was not working on day 1 until we phoned the manager who told us that the boiler was not turned on! We will not use this hotel again

2.9

The worst price-quality ratio I have ever had! No correspondence to the description in the web. I even had to go and pick the toiletpaper in the morning, waiting 2 minutes and then carrying it back to my through the staircase. Breakfast-room so small that we prefered to go for an espresso and cornetto outside. I would never go there again. And it made my stay in Rome not so nice as I expected. Next time I will take 4* which are not so much more expensive in some cases. kind regards, Monika Kail

2.5

This hotel was absolutely appauling and i would not recommend anyone to stay there. The air conditioning did not work in any of the rooms and the electricity kept cutting out. The management (not staff) did not care at all about how comfortable we were and the reception always had a different member of staff on so that you could not blame any one person. The breakfast was of low quality and the noise from outside was unbearable. We are making a complaint to the tourist board about this hotel and are demanding some form of refund.

7.0

It's just an ok hotel. First we had a big room, but the promised air conditioning wasn't working. After complaining about that, we were moved to another - smaller - room the next day. The location is quite ok, a lot of busses available just 50 meters away. The rooms were nice and clean.

4.9

Very small rooms, especially the bath rooms and for that, too high prices.

7.9

parking is a little far away and it costs cca 25 euro per night. small peaceful hotel and exellent central location

7.7

Tiny Rooms,pretty poor breakfast, But great location, good staff and really very good value

4.4

Easy to find the hotel from the main train station as good location in the centre. When we arrived there was no hot water, this continued all night and into the morning despite us being told it was fixed. Not good for a shower after a long journey to Rome. The room itself was very noisy from traffic and smelt strongly of cigarette smoke, so much so that we had to open the window despite it being very cold (it was in February) and noisy already. We also asked for a double room but got a twin with 2 uncomfortable single beds next to each other. Not too bad except for the beds having castors and the floor was hard tiles so the beds just moved apart from each other when you tried to move in bed. The in-room heater was wholly inadequate for the job too so we were cold and couldn't comfortably snuggle to warm each other up. Not a good stay, we'd booked for 3 nights and left after the first. The hotel moved us to another of their hotels (Carravagio) which was much improved although it cost more and we had a mild ant infestation (this was our fault, apparently as we'd left a pear on the bedside cabinet). Not a good impression of this company's hotels. Perhaps they'd improve if a little money was spent on them.

7.8

An excellent stay in Roma. The hotel was very good altough a little nosie at time from the street.

7.3

Breakfirst to poor. no effect at an information the first day on a light broken. Some electric thread in bathroom ... but good situation, and the close restaurant, door to door, is very good and cheaper

9.1

Room was very good & reasonably spacious. Both the room & bathroom were clean and were cleaned everyday (fresh towels). Breakfast was adequate & since we stayed in off season (5 nights in late Nov 2002) the breakfast room was not crowded. The staff was pleasant & helpful. There was some repairs going on to the elevator & for 3 days we'd to climb stairs (that's about the only complaint we have). Try and get room in upper floors (4 & above) since the rooms facing road could have road noise in the night. We'd noise problem on saturday but not sunday onwards. Rooms also have a minibar (fridge) which can be used to keep cold drinks/yoghurt etc. Is about 5-10 mins walking from Termini station and the closest subway is 5 mins away. Via Nazionale is just a block away and has good shopping. 15 mins walk to colloseum (lot of restaurants on the way). Overall we are very satisfied with our stay there and since didn;t pay a lot ($75/night) it was a good deal as well.

8.4

Great location just off Via Nazionale. Easy walking distance to main historical centre (Coloseum, Foro Romano, Trevi Fountain etc) and to the Metro Line for access to further destinations (ie Vatican City). Also, great little trattoria situated right next door which was remarkably cheap. Ate there on two nights and for a three course meal, with litre and half of wine for two people (+ bottle of Pinot Grigio to take out) came to only 60 Euros. Not only cheap but food was very good.

9.8

We really enjoyed our stay at the Picasso. The elevator is wonderful and the rooms were very nice. The absolute only drawback is the flight arrived at 9am and we couldn't check in until 12pm, and we were very tired.

5.6

The main problem was the pictures didn't correspond because they put us in their sister hotel, Hotel Caravaggio instead of Hotel Picasso where we had made our reservation.

7.6

The room were great but the breafast room and the breakfast itself was poor. Overall the stay was good.

5.3

The Picasso is not a "hotel" as such more a converted apartment block without full apartment facilities. There are no hotel facilities and breakfast is a complete joke. The room itself was fine if basic but during our stay, which was only two full days, we suffered over half a dozen power cuts. No-one explained what was happening or ever apologised for any inconvenience.

8.5

Room clean and tidy and nicely decorated. The breakfast room only accommodated 10 at a time which was a bit of a squeeze and we had to wait for a seat. Staff courteous and helpful. Overall good value for money.
