Hotel Repubblica - Rome

The hotel was a nice value for money as i booked at the last moment when almost all the hotels in rome were booked.......... n the best part is the location... just walking distance from the ROMA TERMINI station and the places of historic interest,,,n close to the bus stop too who want to take the BUS TOURS

This Hotel,the rooms were poor, filthy,bathrooms did not function properly.Reception people were rude,and service non existent.All land mark close by are excellent.

The homeless people are sleaping on the floor covered with blancket in the main entrance of the hotel! it is the hotel in the city center of Rome! I have travled a lot and I haven't sow something like this before.

Great location, extremely small lift hard to access. Poor maintenance, fridge not working, same four years ago, aircon not working properly. good breakfast. This hotel is in a great location the rooms are big, could be great if run properly and maintained.

CHinese Hotel

Not welcoming, and rude. 1. Air-con did not work - it blew out warm air. The next morning I went to receptiona to advise them and they said they knew.....they let me book-in without telling me the air con was on the blink! 38 degrees outside. 2. That next day came home after a day out in the sun sight seeing to no electricity at all. Again, no response from reception, no status given at all. I had to force information out of them. That night I found alternate accomodation and left at 1am. I asked for that night free but again, night operator could not make that call and said to come back tomorrow. A traveller should not have to put up with this. The web page made it look OK. Don't go...it is old and gruby (but not dirty). I personally would have reported them if I wasnt on a holiday #$@.

I was so disappointed by this hotel! I payed 55 euros for one bed and the room was really badly kept. The wallpaper was coming off the walls, the towels were not clean. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Struttura tetra e cadente, TV malfunzionante (visibili 2 0 3 canali al massimo), frigo vuoto, colazione da dimenticare, servizio inesistente, ascensore sempre fermo. Unico lato positivo, prezzo last minute buono, vista l'ottima posizione a breve distanza dalla metro e dalla stazione. Ho avuto difficoltà a trovare la camera, nascosta in un andito fra corridoi tortuosi e interminabili adatti a un film di Dario Argento. Non credo che ci tornerò.

The location of hotel is perpect for walking around in Rome

This is a terrible hotel. All my baggage, including the passport everything, were stolen. But the boss of the hotel told me that they did not bear any responsibility for this. And as a matter of fact, the hotel and the Paris hotel next to it are runnning by the same one boss. I can provide you with the document issued by the police there for being stolen in that hotel.

Small and old-fashioned rooms. Dirty walls inthe rooms, but clean bed. Staff was friendly and helpful. This is Chinese hotel, if it's doesn't bother you than this hotel is not so bad. The place has perfect connection to the city

A budget hotel, good location, rooms small but perfectly adequate. If you're looking for central accomodation with no frills , perfectly acceptable choice.

The worst hotel ever seen. Do not book it. Rooms not clean, bedlines and bath in bad condition. no Remote control for TV. Everything is worst!!!! Attenzione, albergo in pessime condizione per quanto concerne la gestione. Non è assoulutamente un posto dove risiedere nemmeno per una notte. nonostante l'ottima posizione....non vale assolutamente la pena risedere qui. Stanza sporca, bagno non pulito..gestione pessima

I have just stayed one night at this hotel but was enough for not recommending it.Towels in the room were thrown in a table, there was a leak in the bathroom just on top of the toilet. Humidity was all over the bathroom ceiling so the smell was all over the room. Very bad experience.

We stayed 6 nights. Apart from a couple of nights when a group of american students made a lot of noise, we had a pleasant stay. Staff Ok, rooms all right, especially considering the price. Location very practical arriving at an leaving from Termini - Via Nationale - good shopping and quite a few interesting attractions within reasonable walking distance.

Security was appalling. The concierge left our keys on the counter as he slept in the room next door at night.Anyone could have taken the keys and taken something or waited for us in our rooms. This hotel is very dangerous..

I used single room with very low price but it's extremely bad.

Fridge in my room was out of order, and it wasn’t fixed after I told employee about it.

Great location in Rome. Close to Termini, Metro and bus lines. You get what you pay for, but it was clean, quiet and convenient. Probably wouldn't stay for an extended stay since the room is quite small. I am middle-aged, thin, 6ft+ tall and had no problems, other folks might have issues. Minor irritation: The elevator is very small and the markings for the various floors are difficult to read. There are two hotels in the same building and on the same floor. Makes it a bit confusing. Overall, a good value and a good location.

Not bad overall, all employees were chinese and it was a bit hard understanding them. Clean whatsoever but needs restoration. Furniture looked as if they were 100 years old, walls need to be painted, and the tiles on the floor were broken. Other than that, it wasn't that bad, but i don't think i would go back there on a future trip to Rome.

The personel in Hotel is from China and don´t talk clearly English or Italian. The breakfast room it is very very very small. It was bad to be waiting for a table early in the morning. Our bathroom was a lake of water from shower, was fixed rapidly , but it was not funny.

There was no cheese in the breakfast. (We stayed there four days.) In the bathroom there was a problem with the plumbing. When we entered the room there was a towel in the floor. Because the floor was wet. We told the employee about it but he pretended that he didn't know about the problem and we had to clean the wet floor every day.

The most bad experience I ever had in my life and I traveled a lot and stayed in hundreds of hotels. I checked out ealier than schedule and reserved in other hotel.

The TV did not work!

HOTEL: The hotel is in good location for walking to all Roma tourist sightsee area. Walking distance from the main train station (Termini) Very small elevator for going upstairs! Old building, with minimal free space for public. ROOM: The rooms are very spacious. NO frigid, the mini bar is cut out / not working. The light in the room is very weak, hard to read at night. Few old furniture in the room. The television is very small, old generation with very low quality and much less channels.

Terrible hotel. it was cheaply priced and sure enough came with cheap rooms where the shower barely worked, the mini fridge was moldy and the bed was vey small.

Günstige Unterkunft mit dem Charme des letzten Jahrhunderts. Alles in allem o.k. (habe in Rom schon schlechter für mehr Geld übernachtet)

The reception staff were offhand and despite reporting a leaking shower tray and having being assured it would be repaired the same day nothing was done during our three day stay. Otherwise, a great location beside the train terminus and metro lines. Clean and basic.

This hotel has improved 90% over my stay 5 years ago. The bathrooms have been renovated and are spacious and beautiful. We booked a triple and the size was amazing. The hotel is located close enough to walk to Termini train station and directly on the bus line. I will not consider staying anywhere else when I visit Rome in the future. It exceeded my expectations.

Only thing which need comment, are rooms. They need some renovating and the furniture is quite old in rooms.

Handy location on the Via Nazionale. The rooms were clean, although some of the furnishings were worn. Breakfast was included in the price and the receptionist made an effort to make sure I knew this (the confirmation e-mail from Venere.com said it wasn't).

The main reason why I selected this hotel is its LOCATION, which is the best selling point of the property. Also in future I will choose this hotel so long as the property will not move to other place. However, the TV set of this hotel (or only of my room?) is too old. The number of channels possible with this TV set is very few. The satelite broadcasting is in these days indispensable, isn't it? Besides, the breakfast should be included in the present room price. 5.00EU is too much.

The furniture isn't that good and the TV is not a good one, the best program was in Chinese

The hotel fullfilled all our expectations. Perhaps not good choice for persons who can't sleep if there is noise in night time.

Rooms in the hotel were wet and mouldy Rome is a great town

It was the first and the last stay in this hotel.

The first two days, the shower was either scalding or ice cold, low pressure and then leaked(flooded)the bathroom floor-it was a regular shower, not a slanted floor. We told them about it, and that fixed the water temperature and pressure problem, but the shower base leaked(flooded) the whole trip. They "misplaced" our room key the 3rd day after having someone "repair" the shower. They finally found a spare later that evening-scary. The window did not secure completely and allowed noise and draft into the room-thank goodness it wasn't summertime! Basically, it is a very old building that required renovations.

Very dated interior in need of repair and upgrade. Location is good. Staff friendly and helpful. Room size good.

Four people in party ,middle aged couple and son with girlfriend.description of hotel accurate.staff friendly and very obliging ,arranged airport transfer at reasonable rate .ideal location for sightseeing,all most popular sights within walking distance.near tourist information kiosks and termini so easy for travelling further afield.good selection of bars and restaurants two minutes walk away.hotel recently changed ownership and is in process of being upgraded so some of furniture old but this is a minor detail.our room had a balcony with wonderful views of via nazionale.during our stay we saw some of the hotels we had tried to book and whilst some may have looked a little more inviting they were not in such a good position.we had a fantastic time and would definitely stay there again.jw, uk

There was no heating in the room so was very cold at night. The website made the rooms look light,airy and modern but they were very old fashioned. Overall an ok stay though.

CCmfortable room, kind and helpfull staff.

Man muss dem Hotel zu Gute halten, dass es zentral liegt und alle Sehenswürdigkeiten innerhalb einer halben Stunde zu Fuß zu erreichen sind. Unser Zimmer war sehr laut.(Straßenverkehr- liegt ja auch an einer Hauptstr.)Der Service war mies, das Frühstück eine Zumutung, der Geruch aus dem Bad kam wohl direkt aus der Kanalisation. Ich fahre gerne wieder nach Rom aber nie mehr in dieses Hotel

Muy bien situado, hay que pensarse en renovar el ascensor.

Situated very centrally on the busy main thoroughfare of via Nationale near Termini station. The rooms at the back of the hotel are quiet but there is noise within the hotel at night. Rooms were compact and quite shabby with various degrees of operational equipment such as sockets. A shuttle service to airports/stations is run by the hotel but this costs more than an average taxi.

Very small dark room. Most of the light bulbs did not work which made it very gloomy. I picked up some kind of skin disease (bed bugs?) from the bed. The bathroom also was tiny and old. I would not recomend this or ever contemplate staying there again. Very overpriced.

Hotel was very central and reasonably priced. Close to shopping and restaurants. Needs some renovation work done i.e. wallpaper peeling off the walls in our room.

El hotel no tiene suficiente identificación en el exterior , hay que subir varias escaleras con las maletas a mano , no tienen servicio de maleteros , la habitación no estaba lista a la hora de mi llegada 3 PM , el personal es incomptente ,el hotel es viejo y en mal estado de mantenimiento . NO HAY QUE RECOMENDARLO

E' una struttura gestita da cinesi, poco pulita, rumorosa, e di bassa qualità. Sicuramente l'ubicazione è ideale per visitare la città, ma lo sconsiglierei a chi non ama lo stile "spartano". Evitate la colazione, molto meglio girare l'angolo e andare in un Bar, almeno bevete un vero cappuccino, non quello della macchinetta self service.

Very quiet hotel, friendly people, satisfactory service

The hotel was pretty good, and the location is very good as well. althought eh surrounding area is not great, is close to the main turistic points and close to the station, which meka it easy to move. As for the price/quality, i've beenin quite a few hotels through out italy and the relationship is pretty fair, although it could be cheaper. The breakfast was good enough, although the quality may be wasn't the best. So overall i think it was a good experience

Un hotel non da 3 stelle ma neanke mezza stella. camere diverse dalle foto, personale cinese esgarbato, tappezzeria fatta da un bambino di 3 anni, diversa in certi punti(uguale non la trovavano)porta carta igienica rotto, bagno come quelli ke ci sono nelle strade, x il tanto pagato neanke ci hanno dato la colazione ... dovevamo pagarla! mi sono trovata male a dir poko. non ci mettero piu piede in un hotel cosi. e diverso da quello ke si vede nella foto. grazie x lo spazio x dare una propria opinione.

Un'hotel molto scadente pensate che da quando ci ho messo piede l'ascensore non funzionava ho dovuto portarmi la valigia a piedi quando sono andata via lo stesso la valigia a piedi e mi è caduta per un piano e ho rotto tutti gli shampoo rovinando mettà roba. hotel gestito da cinesi incopetenti e sgarbati. stanze di zero qualità. a me e mia cugina e il mio ragazzo non ci vedranno mai più!!!!!

NAER TO THE CENTRE AND THE TERMINI STATION. NICE STAFF

V reasonable price, esp. for such a fantastic location. Would definitely stay there again and can recommend it!

The worst hotel I have ever stayed in!!!

This is a chinese hotel in the center of Rome. If you're expecting lux, don't come here, and search for a 5 star hotel. But if you just want a place to sleep and take a nice bath also, then this is perfect. Very clean rooms, always cleaned daily, very nice and helpfull staff, with great accomodations and facilities. It's really in the center of Rome: you can walk from here to the Termini Station, to the Colosseum, to the Trevi Fountain and to many other places. It's about 50 meters from the Subway station of Repubblica, has a lot of bus that stops in front of the hotel and has a lot of restaurants and coffee shops nearby. I really loved it!

Very poor quality for the big amount of money

The reception is on the first flat on a worst, old and neglectec building. The Hotel is an asian hotel.

The shower was sub-par by any standards, the water went from freezing to scalding hot through out the entire shower and attempting to adjust the water temperature made no difference whatsoever. The room was also very hot and the air conditioning unit did not work. The lights in the bathroom flickered, and the television set did not work, either that or the remote control did not work. As for cleanliness, the room was somewhat clean, the sheets and bedding were clean and changed daily, but there were old beer cans strewn behind the small wardrobe, which I noticed because I dropped something and it rolled underneath the bed. The continental breakfast was also not that good, it included stale-ish croissants, cooked ham, jam, butter, and some kind-of buns with powdered sugar on them, but I wasn't expecting much more than that after I saw the room.

It was a bit of a relief to find a decent hotel at a reasonable price in Rome. After the rip off Cressy. At the Hotel Repubblica I was very pleasantly surprised to find welcoming staff, decent surroundings and a good location. We would return.

DO NOT STAY HERE. This is the 6th different hotel I've stayed at in Rome, all of which were rated three or more stars. This one was so disgusting, I cannot even compare it to the others I've been in. Outside of my window was a rotting bag of McDonald's food. The wall paper was peeling off the walls. The shower literally fell apart when I went to use it - and heaven help you if you're bigger than a size 6, because the door opening was just wide enough to get past and inside the glass box, which made it very difficult to escape when the water flipped constantly between extremely hot and freezing cold, which was good, because at least the burns on my skin were soothed. The bed was a cot with springs poking me all night. The hallway was something out of a Hitchcock film - the lights were barely on and flashing, the hallway was dank and dim, dirty, with piles of dirty laundry in it. The towels were threadbare and the toilet seat didn't fit the toilet! I went to the front desk to tell them the air conditioning wasn't working. She told me to turn it on and wait an hour. After an hour, I went back down, and the woman at the front desk yelled at me. I had to threaten to call the police just to get someone to come up to the room, and when they did, they had to use a ten foot pole to flip a switch at the ceiling to turn on the air conditioner! And I'm the stupid American who can't get the AC on!!! I am so thankful I was only stuck here one night, because I honestly would have had to leave. THIS HOTEL WAS A NIGHTMARE!! DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

The stay was generally good, everything was ok except the shower which had its own system for delivering hot water and could be cold one minute and scalding the next. Otherwise a decent stay. The lift sucks though.

I reserved an air conditioned room. the airconditioning was broken in the room I was given. I complained was was given a new room that was supposed to have a working air conditioner. The room was un air conditioned. The desk insisted that it was airconditioned and told me that I didn't know how to work it. They said that some one would come up, no one did. Everytime I asked at the desk what was going to be done, I was essentialy laughed off. Very bad attitude, sort like we got you here now go to hell and shut up. Horrible atitude!!!!!!

We chose this hotel because of location within walking distance of Termini Railway Station. Although not fancy, the room was adequate and clean and location for sightseeing was very good. Continental breakfast was provided and employees were courteous.

This was my 2nd visit to Rome. I was staying only 2 days this time. I have to consider the convenient location not far from Termini when comparing price/spaciousness of the room. Being by myself, I did not expect a large room. In the immediate vicinity were several 4&5 star hotels. My room was furnished with a comfortable single bed. The chair, bureau, and armoir were 50's everyday furniture and had not been updated in forever. The room seemed to have a dark tone. The staff was competent and polite, but not overly friendly. To get to the reception area, you had to go up several stairs to the elevator, then go up to the 1st floor to reception. This could be a problem for a guest with lots of luggage. The worst thing however, was the shower. It fluctuated from icy cold to actually scalding hot moment by moment. Only in the transition phase was the water temperature comfortable.

I can't understand how this is a 3 star hotel. You have to get up 8-9 large steps to reach the lift which can carry you and 1 suitcase, we had a buggy which need to be folded prior to getting in, if somebody has kept the lift doors open at upstairs it doesn't come down, so you have to be lucky every time. The reception and staff was quite rude and non welcoming, we asked for a couple of plates from the kitchen and they don't oblige for silly reasons. The room had lousy decorations with torn wall papers and stains on it. Overall this type of hotel should not be listed into any star catagory.

Single rooms are too small for such an amount of money!

Help was coll but efficient, Facility old but OK, not especially clean.

A great place to stay for tourists on a budget. Good buffet breakfast, friendly staff, very good english. Will stay again. Earlier strongly negative comments from others seem unfounded.

Breakfast is either a croissant or roll, the rooms are dirty noisy and in bad condition. My bathroom had holes in all the walls, the linen and towels seemed like rags. Great location but not a good hotel I would not recommend it or ever stay again

A room very tight and with old furniture !!!

The mobile are very old, poor and damaged. The bathroom was without heating. The lift is incredible : small, very, very old and only for three persons. Yes, I had been in Rome many times and never saw a hotel like this one.

This was our first visit to the amazing city of Rome. We walked to most sights but went by bus to Vatican City. Being crammed into a No 64 Bus with a huge number of Italian commuters was like nothing I have ever experienced before: the journey was great fun.

The hotel lobby is one floor up from the street. There are several steps, very difficult. There is no help with bags either coming in or going to your room. You have to use a small lift so it may take several trips. The toilet didn't work properly and ran. Noise from the street was awful. I wouldn't stay there again.

Oké for the relationship price/quality. Small elevator. No mails. I make a telephonecall to ask the reservation.

Rooms are out of fix, it needs repairing ASAP. My room was not clean enough. The furniture is 20 years old. Location of the hotel is very good, which is the only advantage of hotel Republica.

The services in the single rooms are very, very poor. The cleaning of the rooms and their relative bathroom are very, very inadequate. The position is truely good but for the rest of the hotel, I'm disappointed!

There were children in other rooms running, playing in the hallway's making a lot of noise. Knocking on the door then running to hide.

L'acqua della doccia varia : freddo-bollente. Le camere sono piuttosto spartane. La gestione Cinese lascia il tempo che trova. Se non avete particolari pretese può andare.

Hotelstandard as I expected - clean and simpel. Breakfast was not tasty at all, but warm and welcomming staff. Good location near the old citysenter. A bit noicy from the backstreets early in the morning, but I suppose it's natural in a city. I wonder how I could have escaped from 4th floor in case of fire. I saw no firestairs or ropes to go out other than by the main entrance..

There was not a bar as specified on web page! the breakfast was poor!

We felt that the hotel was very poor value for money compared with similar locations in capital cities. The lift was appalling-quite often the door was left open and so rendered the whole lift out of action. The decor in the corridors and public areas was faded and well overdue for refurbishment. We were very disappointed.

Is not a hotel 3 stars. it should be no more than 2 stars. the staff was kind.

We stayed in double rooms and found them clean and tidy, a fantastic location for seeing all of the city. Staff were friendly and helpful and I would not hesitate to stay at the hotel again.

Hi, considering the fact that we've payed EUR 120,- a night, we rate the rooms of Hotel Repubblica below our expectations. Most disappointing were the bathroom facilities. The shower cabine was of very low diy qualility and broke. The water tap of the shower was broke, causing it to produce burning hot and freezing cold water uncontrollably. Very annoying and dangerous. No real efforts were undertaken to fix this despite our repetitive complaints. The same applies to the refrigerator and television that didn't work. At some point the problem proved to be that only one power outlet in our room was in working order. Another issue we had was with the 2 separate beds that would move apart on every slight move. We ended up tying the legs together using parts of the drapes. Breakfast is very basic, not many variations to choose from and very simple (no fresh coffee and tea and no fresh juices but all from machines, only one kind of bread etc.). Also the room was really noisy with traffic rushing by at considerable speeds. But that probably comes with staying in the center of a city like Rome... The fact that the hotel is situated in the city center is actually its best feature anyway. All interesting locations, shops and restaurants etc. are at walking distance, a metro stop and Termini train station are very nearby. So it's safe to say that despite our issues with hotel Republicca we had a great romantic stay in Rome. I would recommend it to anyone, but finding a nice and affordable hotel is probably a challenge.

Anything but a recommendable place! Horrible breakfast!!! Fairly unfriendly and incompetent staff! Insider tips: Nice bar at Piazza della Repubblica Be careful when you're out in the area at night!!

In buona posizione pero' scarso per quanto riguarda la silensiosita' delle camere e del rapporto qualita/prezzo ,non sembra di essere in un hotel 3 stelle

Very cold welcoming. not honest (they earned EUR 20 on the cab from hotel to airport. They told me that if I want a cab, these are the conditions if I don't agree I can try to manage myself...)

There was something wrong with the bathroom plumbing as our bathroom was always flooded with water.

I think this hotel does not deserve 3 stars, but only 2.

Possibly the very worst hotel/hostel I have ever stayed in. My wife cried her eyes out on arrival (and shes a tough cookie). It cost me a 400 euro coat to appease her. DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL/HOSTEL you have been warned!

The rooms were too loud (even when windows were closed), the breakfast hadn't continental standard. The reception service was unbelievebal bad.

AWFULL!!!!!!!! I am your permanent customer and never had such a big problems before. You need to have at least small check of the hotel you offer. The hotel was like a scrap-heap with cockroaches in the bathroom, with wash-hand stand where water is not going away at all, with chiped caps in the breakfast and coffee that doesn;t look like coffee but looks like coloured water etc. absolutely unwelcome reception in the afternoon.

I would never stay here this was the most over priced place we stayed and literally everything broke in the hotel, the bathroom doors fell off, the towel rack, fell off there was mold everywhere in the bathroom, the windows didnt shut or lock, they had breakfast at 7.30 in the morning. and wouldnt open it a minute before. I mean how many people have a flight in the morning or have business meetings at 8am. If you cant get your cup of coffee until 7.40 what good is this. The people at the front were not very friendly. Walking in through the fron where the sign isnt even all working it looks like the place is in shambles... there is no obvious sign down stairs we finally figured it out just by climbing the stairs we stayed in hostels that were nicer than this. the window was right next to a very popular bar below. The bed was super hard. definitely the cheapest mattress around. No compurters or internet to log on. OK the good is that the room was a decent size, there was a toilet and bedei(sp?), and once you actually got out of the hallway and into the "hotel" part of the building it looked pretty ok. still nothing like most 3 star hotels but nicer than a hostel there was a sofa to sit on in the hall.

Location was a little futher from center than expected. Curtains in both the room and bath were yellow stained which made you wonder immediately about cleanliness. Another coat of paint would also help. 2nd night, a small roach was seen in tub. Bathroom continually smelled like perm solution each time fan was on. A hairdryer must be hot and have pressure to actually dry hair. Noise was deafening (had to sleep with earplugs). There was no notice instructing elevator usage so elevator was usually not available. 13" does not a T.V. make and "satellite" service consisted of 6 channels that were barely visible. Bedsheets were not changed last evening of stay. By Eouropean criteria alone, this should be rated as a 2 star at most.

Lo que nos dieron la habitancion recien a las 14 Hs

Triple room

I stayed at the hotel for 2 nights and I`m not impressed. The sink in the bathroom was smashed, the doors in the shower that was supposed to slide did`nt. The walls in the bedroom had different colours because of waterdamage and the wallpaper was just about to fall of. I know it was a cheap hotel, but it should have been even cheaper with this standard.

Unfriendly staff,no hospitality at all,cockroachs in the room - i would never recommend this place even to my enemies

We only stayed one night, we should have stay longer, we were stuck in a worser hotel, Hotel Texas around the corner, which made this hotel very nice and clean, staff here is very helpful, room is spacious and nice, we didnot have time to have breakfast because we have to leave early in the morning, they could have offer something for the road but they didn't, otherwise they would have score 9 and 10 out of 10
