Hotel Romano - Rome

7.1

Great location for walking and taking metro although a bit noisy due to outside traffic and no carpet anywhere in interior. Single room was small but adequate for 1 person. Other rooms looked more spacious. Problem with hot water one night and into next morning that I thought night clerk could have been a bit more attentive to but, otherwise, staff very friendly and helpful. Asked for hair dryer & got one only to discover that it wouldn't work in the bathroom due to no GFI outlet. No mirror in the sleeping area so made using hair dryer difficult. Very poor lighting in room but this seemed to be the case in all the hotels I stayed in this trip. Lastly, this hotel was very hard to find coming from the Colisseum metro stop. Largo Corrado Ricci is basically just a sidewalk that runs parallel to the main road and is separated by various cafe tents. Hotel name is only on door which can't be seen from the main street. Took 3 phone calls to same night clerk mentioned above who was not particularly good at giving directions and much walking up and down the surrounding streets before finding it. Again, it was a great location though so would recommend to folks wanting to take in a lot on their visit.

8.6

The rooms are simple but spotlessly clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful, providing useful recommendations for restaurants and activities. The hotel is a good place if you plan to spend all your time seeing Rome and only sleeping in the room. The location is excellent for easy access to all the sights of Rome as most are within a pleasant 5 - 20 minute walk.

9.2

We had 4 nights in Rome. We had a twin room. Romano was excactly what we were looking for: very central,- close to Forum Romanum, Colloseo etc. Very friendly staff, no extra luxury. Why pay for such extravaganca? We were there to see Rome, not the inside of a hotel. We'll be back!

9.2

The room was very small, but nice and clean. Towels were changed daily, there was always hot water and best of all was the location. Couldn't be better. First of all the hotel was extremaly easy to find(even for me and I'm terrible with directions:) and second of all it was close to everything. at the end of the day I could watch some tv and rest on very comfy bed. Highly recommended PS: I'll be back:)

8.0

The property was clean and very convenient to all the major attractions, which were within walking distance: Colesseo, Forum, Victor Emanuelle Monument, etc. Also, the Metro was close by. Nice area with many shops by Hotel Romano.

8.4

Great small hotel, well priced and excellent location. We walked to every attraction, not used public transport until returned to the airport. We had a triple room, small but adequate, spotlessly clean. Highly recommended.

8.0

Nice small hotel, ideal for short stays, good location near colosseo and many other interesting monuments, as well as many nice restaurants around. Ar conditioning was not working properly.

7.8

Hotel très bien situé. accueil agréable. qualité essentielle en été: la climatisation. Bon rapport qualité-prix. Seul point négatif : pas de chaine de tv francophone (TV5).

9.2

Mi sono trovata molto molto bene

8.6

Wonderful view, just 2 steps from Foro. Nice service. Breakfast in a nice terrace, very quite in spite of being so close to tourist area.

8.9

Very convenient position of the hotel, within walking distance of all of the main attractions of Rome.This was my first time in Rome, and in the Hotel Romano, it was very nice, service was good, staff polite, only the breakfast in the naighbouring caffe was poor.

8.9

Mr. Santo and his crew was very service minded and friendly. We have enjoyed a pleasant stay at this little and cosy Hotel. The breakfast was how ever not quit satisfactory.

8.9

This was really good hotel in a FABULOUS location. The service was very nice, as the front desk helped us find where we need to go. The hotel is located a few block from the Collosseum and the Roman Forum. We were able to walk almost everywhere, except for Vatican City, which we took a bus too. The hotel had a nice size (and extremly comfortable) bed. The bathroom was also a decent size with a great shower. We would recommend the Hotel Romano to anyone going to Rome.

9.3

reliable staff, excellent location, solid rooms

10

will definately be returning to the Romano

9.6

A wonderful small hotel right in the centre of ancient Rome.The staff were very friendly, spoke good English and gave us good directions to all the tourist sites and good restaurants. The rooms were kept spotlessly clean and it was enjoyable having breakfast outside at the cafe next door. The main sites were literally only yards away and despite having one of our party in a wheelchair we walked everywhere, including the Vatican. The hotel arranged for us to be picked up from the airport on arrival and taken to the port at Civitavecchia on departure.All went very smoothly and was well worth the expense. I hope to use the hotel again and would recommend it to anyone who wanted a small family run establishment in the heart of Rome as opposed to part of a large impersonal chain.

8.2

This hotel is very small, clean and for the most part quiet. The Staff was wonderful and friendly. (noise was loud guest, not street noise) Great location for walking to the sites. We did not use public transportation as it was such a good location. Although they say there is an elevator, it is not real practical, still must use the stairs.

8.4

Amazingly friendly and always helpful staff. Just in the hearth of the old Rome, walking distance to almost all main sites and breakfast with a view to the Rome Forum... The hotel is not a fancy 5* but it's a good traditional style hotel. A place to recommend... :) If you wanna rent a scooter, there is also a rental shop 1min walk, its very amusing to do Rome by scooter.

9.1

This small bed and breakfast was perfect for our 3 day stay in Rome. We could walk everywhere from there and the Forum and Colosseum was just across the street. Our room was facing the back, which kept it very quiet, but the view wasn't anything special. Breakfast was in the outdoor cafe of the restaurant next door, and was pleasant and convenient. Overall, we felt the location was great and the service and amenities were fine but don't expect the type of facilities an American hotel would have to offer. Hotel Romano is a clean, friendly, basic bed and breakfast accommodation with an excellent starting point location to explore this beautiful city.

9.0

very nice place to stay in rome. would recommend to anyone. close to colossuem,trevi fountain and other areas. clean room, great service and nice value for money.

8.1

A typical Roman hotel. great location within walking distance of coliseum & forum. metro convenient. cleaners a little too enthusiatic putting everything away & starting before we had finished breakfast. first stay in rome for 30 years. breakfast was very simple - croissant, dry toast & coffee but adequate in outside sitting area - nice in summer. Hotel seemed expensive but by Rome standards I guess its the norm. Good local restaurants higher up the street & off side roads but take advantage of glorious settings at novona etc too. Comfortable neighbour hood to walk at night. TV channels very limited & lift very lsmall. arrange car to airport at lower rate than airport taxis. Would definitely stay again.

8.0

The lady cleaners were very nice and helpful. The receptionist was never the same each time we stepped into the hotel (weird). Rooms were very clean and they tidied everything up. Shower tray was slippery (we were 3 and we nearly fell at least once each). Breakfast was typical european style - some ham or sth filling/savoury would have been better. Location was great, however, the instructions given to reach the hotel were a little vague/didn't quite understand the instructions. We didn't know that there were 5 stops in 'Cavour'and got off at the first stop where of course we walked the rest of the way under the hot sun...Air conditioning was a life-saver as it was really hot when we were there. Elevator was pretty slow to close its doors and the button for the second floor didn't light up. I would go back again to Hotel Romano and I am, at the end of the month.

10

I was travelling with my my wife and daughter. We had an excellent and spacious room very confortable. Silence, air conditioning, employees, location, breakfast and every thing we were offered was excellent. It seems that you are living at home or in a 4 star hotel. We will be returning soon and we will highly reccomend this place.

9.0

The staff at Romano Hotel are amazing! You are within 5 mins of the Colosseum and have great food right outside your hotel. STAY HERE!

8.0

We found the site to be convenient to get to and to reach the main sites of ancient Rome. The support of the management was great.

8.3

La relacion calidad precio muy buena, debido a la ubicacion del hotel. Excelente el trato recibido por el conserge del hotel. El desayuno escaso, y no muy buena atenciòn en al bar que nos daban el desayuno que està al lado del hotel.

7.4

Chambre et salle de bain très propres, mais chambre (single) assez petite. Room and bathroom very clean , but bedroom (single) quite small excellente localisation proche du Colisée et des forums ( excellent location close to Coliseum and forum) Not always vey quiet -- un peu de bruit Personnel acceuillant : Friendly staff

9.3

My daughter and I arrived in Rome after 10 days of traveling in Greece and the Tuscany area of Italy. The Hotel Romano was easy to find and is in a lovely area of Rome. It is in a very convenient location for walking to the sights and catching the Metro or bus for transportation. We were greeted by Santo (who had also sent me an e-mail greeting prior to our trip). Santo was very friendly, spoke good English, and was happy to meet us and very efficiently sent us to our room. Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated and clean. The hotel had an elevator which we appreciated since we were on the 4th floor and the rooms have high ceilings so it was a lot of stairs! We stayed 3 nights and were very comfortable there. The housecleaning serivce was exceptional--even organizing our clothes and stuff!!! The breakfast was a bit confusing at first--you get a voucher for the snack/bar next door. You can either sit outside at the sidewalk cafe or inside the snack bar. They are very busy in the mornings with the hotel and other customers, but it didn't take too long to get your cappuchino and pastry. It wasn't much, but at least something to start the day. Being American and loving my morning coffee, I wished I could have had a refill or two without additional cost, but the voucher was just for one. The hotel was staffed 24 hours and they were pretty helpful with the questions we had, Santo more than the others. I would recommend this hotel to others and would stay there again if I get back to Rome. Our cost was 100 euros a night, which I think was reasonable considering the location and how expensive Rome is overall.

7.0

Great location and nice staff. Rooms have very thin walls and one can hear everything. Also windows are not sound-proof so it is rather noisy all the night. And air-condition is very poor- I would not recommend hotel for hot summer time

7.9

Nice clean hotel with fantastic position down the road from the colosseum. Staff were welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Breakfast is a little sparse, and not overly close to the main restaurant areas. Would definitely stay again though.

9.5

Las personas que me atendieron fueron muy amables, atentos a cualquier inquietud y dispuestos a entregar ayuda, hicieron agradable mi estadia esos dias en Roma. La ubicacion es excelente, a pasos del coliseo y cerca del metro. La habitacion era muy chica, pero comoda. Todo muy limpio y no se sentia ruido, lo normal. El desayuno, aunque se tomaba afuera en un local al lado del hotel estaba bien, sin reparos. Para lo barato del hotel estaba bien el servicio entregado.

9.9

I was at Albergo Romano middle of November 2008 together with 3 of my friends. We really loved this hotel. Everything was perfect, welcoming, the cleanliness of the rooms, the spaciousness of rooms. The hotel surroundings were the first reason to choose this hotel and also the other clients opinions. It's absolutely perfect for someone who's staying only for few days in Rome, because everything really representative for Rome is at feet distance: Colloseum and Roman Forum, 5 min, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Fontana di Trevi, Piazza di Spagna, 10-15 min. The subway it's 2 min distance... Please enjoy.

7.7

perfect location for a long week-end

6.1

Very central and near two Metros, so ideal for a short (4 day) visit to see some of Rome. Room very small but adequate; the shower had some fungus. Breakfast is an ad hoc affair in an enclosed area on the busy pavement; adequate but you do not linger, and gruff bk/fast staff. Main staff fine and cleaners super - just need supervising a bit more. Some noisy guests. The albergo has no facilities as such, so you really are only paying for a room. No Wi-Fi, which seems silly these days, but a good Internet Cafe near the Cavour Metro on Cavour.

9.9

We are a family of 4 (2 adults a 5 year old and a 1 year old) and this was our first time in Rome and this hotel was an absolute dream! The location could not have been any better since it was literally right around the corner from the Colosseum with not even a 5 minute walk to it. We were centrally located to everything it seemed. The staff were the best. So helpful and friendly and always ready with a smile and a way to help. The breakfast offered was excellent although as a heads up it's at the cafe next door not in the actual hotel but it was not a problem at all. Also the elevator is tiny so if you bring a lot of luggage expect a couple of trips. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone and we will use them when we go back.

9.9

I stayed at the Hotel Romano with my mother and my 14 year old son. Our welcome was warm and genuine, and Santo on reception was a true superstar. Our room was spacious, bright and spotlessly clean (everyday in fact!) Breakfast was in a room in the cafe next door. The coffee is to die and the food is basic continental sweet breakfast, consisting of toast, jam and a sweet pastry. The location of the Hotel Romano is perfect. It is 40 - 50 yards from the entrance to the Roman Forum, and little more than 200 yards to the Colosseum. We walked to all the major attractions with the exception of the Vatican, however it can be reached on foot easily, we were just having a lazy morning. The hotel has a lift that can fit 2 people in, 3 at a push. The rooms were quiet when the windows are shut, however I personally liked hearing the sounds of the city at night, so kept the windows open. The staff were fantastic and speak English well. For the price and location, Hotel Romano is the best find in Rome. I will definitely be staying there next time I go to Rome - which I hope is very soon!

9.1

It was a good choice. we paid 70 euro for a double. It was clean and nice. My only complain would be no fridge and no coffemaker in the room. They did have continental breakfast included. Hotel is right next to Collosseum and Roman forum and subway which is very convenient for sight seeing. Staff is extremely nice and helpful and spoke English very well. Room was very clean if a bit noisy from neighbours.

9.9

will definitely stop again next year. highly recommend this hotel for price and location.it could not be better.Thank you for a wonderful stay.

7.1

Very convenient location. The views to the Palatino was not as good as advertised

7.7

Very kind and ready sympathy personal. The position of hotel is right in historical center. Our room was a bit small, but very nice with beautiful view from terrace.

7.4

Absolutely great location for the Roman Forum and the Colosseum.

6.1

Basic, clean accommodation in a location very close to the Colosseum.Somewhat noisy with windows open,but double-pane windows markedly reduced noise level when closed.Elevator is very small. Restaurants and shops in the vicinity and main railway station (Termini)within walking distance - but not with a suitcase.Day staff friendly,but night clerk was somewhat rude.Seems pricey for what you get,but probably in line with Rome prices.

9.5

Great! In the heart of Roma, excellent environment, excelent welcoming & competence of employees. I will recommend it to my friends, absolutely!

9.7

This was a very good stay and exactly what I was looking for. The staff was excellent and the room condition was also excellent. The location was superb....right across from the Forum and just down the street from the Capital and Colosseum. Breakfast was included in the price and it was very good. The room was small by U.S. standards but that was OK, as the price was very reasonable and I was out and about except for the 7 hours I slept there ea. night. I would recommend this hotel to bargain hunters who want a great location, excellent price without the frills.

6.2

The location of this hotel really is excellent for the price but my single room was very small and worst of all smelt badly of smoke. I suspect the double rooms are better. On the good side the staff were helpful and none of my issues spoilt my holiday. Just might not suit everyone.

8.3

We had a very warm and friendly welcome from mr. Santo. We had a very nice time staying Hotel Romano. Very clean rooms!

7.0

Hotel is basic but clean and the room was bigger than expected.Every morning guests have to get a voucher at reception for breakfast in the snack bar next door.Breakfast is sufficient to start the day.Location is good just around the corner to the Colisseum/Forum etc.About 15 mins walk to the Trevi fountain.Staff were excellent in general especially Santo but the night porter could do with a course in customer relations!Would stay there again.

8.0

Good little hotel to stay at,in the heart of the old part of Rome.Main attractions only a short walk away.would stay at again. Remember to take plenty of euro's as Rome isn't cheap.

9.9

The hotel was very close to the Roman Forum and the rooms were very clean, modern and quiet. Although the hotel does not serve a breakfast, it has an adequate arrangement with the next-door cafe to serve a nice continental breakfast to guests. Overall, good quality for the price.

6.9

A little noisy but that's what you get in central Rome. Excellent value though. Room a bit small but big enough for a single traveller. Staff helpful and friendly. If you have a limited budget this is ideal.

8.9

Muy buen hotel, para el precio que tiene. Habitaciones amplias y limpias. Situado junto al Coliseo, el desayuno se sirve en una terraza del bar de abajo. Recomendable.

6.8

limited space in the overall building. noticed that it was not very wheel chair or disability friendly. the premises is clean and does exactly what it says on the tin for the price.no frills! would recommend the hotel for value for money and convience, just walking distance to city centre.

7.7

le meilleur atout de cet hôtel est sa situation géographique, parfaite pour visiter la ville à pied ou en transports en commun. l'accueil est très chaleureux et le personnel toujours souriant. seul petit bémol : le bruit dans l'hôtel. en tout cas, une adresse à recommander!

8.6

Very nice hotel, very nice manager, close to the Colisseum, comfortable rooms

8.4

Upon arrival, Santo gave me a map and showed me how to get around, very helpful. The room was large, the air conditioning worked well, the bed was clean. My only negagive comment is the mold in the shower. The breakfast came from the cafe next door, it was nice. I would stay there again. The location is next to the coloseum, forum, and the metro, so it is ideal. For a stay in Rome at a modest price, this is a good hotel.

9.6

My husband and I have never been to Rome before and therefore found the location of the hotel Romano an excellent base from which to explore the city. The hotel overlooked the forum; was within 5 minutes walking distance of the colloseum and 3 minutes from the green line tour bus stop (hop on/hop off). Using the bus (€18 pp) meant that we could reach the Vatican within 40 minutes, taking in the major sites/attractions/stops along the way. The hotel itself was exceptionally clean, bright and tastefully furnished. The unobstructed views from our hotel room balcony looked out onto the forum and other historic buildings. The room was air conditioned and made sleeping in the heat of summer comfortable. The continental breakfast was fresh and served with a pleasant manner. The hotel offers a limo service for airport pick up/drop off should you wish to avoid organising transport/logistical issues - just ask. The service at the hotel overall was exceptional and friendly and justified our choice of hotel - we have no hesitation in returning to the hotel Romano in the future, let alone recommending the hotel to others!

8.4

Wonderfull location close to a lot of the historic places, very quiet cool room althoug it was always + 30 °C and quite noisy outside. Simple but ok breakfast in the nice outside terrace at the streetside. Real value for money. Only negative point was the fact it was a smoking room, which you could smell clearly when you entered the room, but it didn't bother us anymore after some minutes.

9.1

Excelente atención y predisposición de la conserjería del hotel. Muy cómoda la habitación. Un punto criticable es el desayuno, servido en el bar vecino, que podría ser más sustancioso.

7.4

Inmejorable ubicación.Delante el foro romano, Coliseo, buses... Ruido de noche pero compensa sobre todo viendo como está el alojamiento en Roma.

9.0

The staff were wonderful friendly and helpful, the hotel is scrupulously clean if a little dated, breakfast at the cafe next door was good, standard continental breakfast, with a full breakfast available for purchase, location just down the road from the Termini and within sight of the Forum is great, air conditioning needs a little more oomph but ceiling fans help. Great value for money.

7.7

Travelled in July 2008. Excellent location - walking distance to all of the major sights. Santos was welcoming and very helpful. Great room - we had a third bed for our infant so it was large, air conditioning worked fine, clean bathroom, and the breakfast was as expected by european standards.

10

the hotel was excellent, the price was fantastic the staff were friendly the rooms were comfortable and spacious and the location of the hotel was amazing; the Colloseum was just around the corner and the trevi fountain and spanish steps were a walking distance away. The metro station was just around the corner which meant we could get to the Vatican city and back very easily. Overall a fantastic hotel and I woudl recommend it to everyone.

9.3

The location was perfect and the people very helpful!! Good breakfasts!

9.4

I travelled with my 15 year old son, the location couldn't have been better for what we wanted to see in Rome. The room was cool, clean and welcoming to a very good standard. There are no lounge facilities or restaurant, but this was not an issue for us. The proprieter and his staff were very helpful and friendly and there was someone available 24/7. The continental breakfast served in the cafe next door was what we expected and the staff were welcoming and helpful. We felt safe and really enjoyed our stay. If you are doing Rome on a budget this should pass your expectations, everything was so close we didn't hop on a bus or metro at all.

9.0

The maids here were obsessive about leaving anything on the floors. We would slide our suitcases and shoes under the bed and come back later to find they had been moved! Not a problem, just funny! Location was on a main street right in the heart of everything, very near the Colliseum. Noisy, but when we closed our windows, everything was blocked out; not a problem. Good air conditioning. Breakfast was OK. Elevator stopped between floors, so you still needed to climb some stairs.

7.6

Nice staff, nice place!

7.2

The Romano is located right next to the Colloseum, which is great, but there's a long walk to the shopping area. Te breakfast was VERY disappointing. The only gave us one Toast with jam and hot drink, while in oter hotels we styed in Italy there was a very impressive breakfast. When we complained we were told that this is it for 2 stars hotel. Room was very big. Pay attention that heating works only from November (We were tere on October and froze).

8.7

We stayed 6 nights at this hotel. Excellent location! The Colosseum and Forum are literally right across the street! Metro within a few blocks, two stops from the central train station. (Although, I would recommend a taxi to the hotel if you're traveling with luggage, only 9 Euro and worth every penny!) The hotel staff was excellent - very friendly, very accommodating, most spoke English well enough to answer questions and give directions. Our triple room was very spacious by European standards, though the bathroom was quite small. We also had a ceiling fan, which was nice on the few days when the weather got warm in the afternoon. (The A/C did emit cool air but the fan on the unit barely moved it through the room.) The lift was small, but worked quite well. Our second-floor room faced the intersection of two main streets in historic Rome, so the traffic at night was a bit noisy, even with the shutters and double windows closed. Our only complaint was the breakfast area. It was outside, under a canopy, in front of the hotel. We had a couple of rainy mornings, so this was not very enjoyable. Food came from the "snack bar" next door - juice, pre-packaged toast, cappuccino, and brioche - typical continental breakfast, but no variety. It did get boring after a few days. Overall, we would probably stay here again.

6.7

fantastic location, little noisy and small rooms, poor court.

9.7

The staff was very welcoming and helpful. They were able to understand us and spoke English. It was the first trip to Rome with our daughter and a very memorable one. We loved having breakfast in the outside garden the hotel provided each morning.

9.1

Brilliant location, friendly staff, spacious room

9.4

Stay in Romano Hotel in May 2008 for a week; perfect location near everything, hotel staff very helpful; excellent price-quality relationship. Would return any time.

8.8

We - 3 guys - loved our stay at the Romano hotel very much! Such nice people. The rooms are fine and it's opposite of the Forum Romanum. Beautiful!

9.2

very good food in trattoria adjacent to Albergo Romano

9.2

This hotel is in a fantastic location, right opposite the forum, which could be seen fromour room, a very spacious double. The staff spoke excellent English, and were very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again

8.4

Very nice hotel with a good relationship between price and quality. The staff was very nice and the location is great!

9.1

We were very happy with the hotel and staff who were very friendly. The location was wow! Around the corner from the colossium. Room was very clean, but didn't have any tea/coffee facilities. The breakfast was served next door by a rather rude man who made us feel uncomfortable. This was in contrast to the staff at the hotel, who were very welcoming. However, there were numerous cafes and restaurants to eat at in the vicinity of the hotel. I would recomend the hotel to my friends for it's quiet location, within walking distance from the station and "all" tourist attractions.

9.0

Everything was great except maybe the quietness of the room: it's located next to a crossroad and the window wasn't very isolated. But I think it's a little discomfort because you're next to Coliseum, Imperials forums and Capitole: hard to be better located. I recommend this excellent hotel for the relationship between price and quality.

9.2

Great Location! Walking distance to so many great things. The hotel staff was very helpful and pleasant. Being that the hotel is on a busy street, some road street noise is expected. It is a good value.

9.8

We loved our stays in this hotel! We stayed at 2 different times, on the front & back end of a cruise, & it was smooth process both times. We were allowed to check in early & they stored excess luggage for us until rooms were ready. The staff was very helpful with all of our needs. All rooms were adequate sizes, a few were actually very large. The breakfast provided for free by the bar next door was well managed. You cannot beat this location- looking out on the Roman Forum was amazing!

8.5

Definitely a budget choice but a good one if that's what you're looking for. The staff couldn't be more helpful. The location is great. The rooms are small but clean and they now have an elevator! It's within walking distance from Termini with good weather and the Metropolitina stops around the corner at the Coliseum.

7.9

Front desk staff was awesome. His name is Santo and just the friendliest man we've met, made us feel welcome and spoke perfect English. The location of this hotel is awesome, one block away from the colosseum and the forum ruins. Breakfast is next door but very plain.

8.6

Excellent location just accross the street from Forum and 2 long blocks from the Coliseum. Within walking distance to other sites. Several good restaurants in same block. Two rooms facing front of hotel on the 4th floor have a terrace that overlooks Forum area. Our group had 2 triples and 4 doubles, we were in a double but found most rooms have 3 beds and are spacious. Notice there were some single rooms on each floor. Hotel has about 26 rooms on 4 floors. Small, but adequate elevator helps get luggage up to rooms. Breakfast was next door; get a coupon from hotel desk and step next door. Order your choice of coffee at counter, sit down and staff will bring you a croisant type roll, juice and packaged toast with jam. Rooms facing front have street noise that becomes noticable around 6:30 am but that was not a problem for our group.

9.2

The place was really nice and clean, the staff friendly.

8.8

We were two friends traveling together (a Scotsman and an American), staying in separate rooms. Hotel Romano was wonderful for me, as I had a quiet room on the top floor. My traveling companion was not so lucky, with his room on a floor with a group of noisy college students. (In all fairness, he did not speak to them or the manager, which might have solved the problem.) But the walls and doors are not so soundproof. The staff could not have been more wonderful, especially a gentleman named Santo who was warm, funny, and helpful, and made me feel like we were staying with Italian friends. The hotel is perfectly located between two Metro stops, and we could walk to most destinations also. Would definitely stay there again. Breakfast was fine, but became somewhat monotonous after 8 days! We should have just purchased something different in the cafe where we ate it. But again, the staff there were friendly and kind, and even gracious when the swarm of students overran the small shop. Good value for money.

8.4

This was our first trip to Rome and was looking forward to our stay. The Hotel Romano was brilliantly located and was about a twenty minute walk from/to the Libreria Termini. It is just around the corner from the Colosseum and across the street from the Forum. It is walking distance from most of the sites. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. Our Italian is basic to say the least, but the staff spoke excellent English which was very helpfull. It made for a relaxed stay. The down side was the TV channels were all in Italian, but no one goes to Rome to watch television. The breakfast was very basic, but we did not mind. We will be using this hotel when we visit Rome again in 2008.

9.2

The rooms in the front of the hotel are a bit noisy due to the street noise and the rooms are small. But, if you want a central hotel for a good price I would recommend this hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful.

7.4

Perfect location to all attractions. Friendly staff but spoke little English. I would recommend this hotel as a very convenient place to stay. Don't expect luxury but a good value. You won't be in your room for long anyway. TV only has Italian shows...no satellite.

7.3

El servicio en general fue bueno,el desayuno se sirve en el restaurant anexo el cual tiene excelente atencion,de 10,podiamos comprar comida y llevarla a la terraza de la habitacion con vista al monumento victor manuel y al foro romano.La primera noche hacia mucho frio y pedi en la recepcion que prendieran la calefaccion y me indicaron que por orden del ministerio de energia estaba prohibido y me dieron una cobija extra???pero un choro de esos para un mexicano? al otro dia le traje una carta de otro hotel donde decia que eso era mentira,las dos noches mas no tuvimos problema ya que la prenden desde el panel central de la recepcion,fuera de eso la pasamos bien .Las vistas del foro romano,coliseo a una calle y la iglesia de san pedro en cadenas todo muy cerca aunque fue el hotel mas caro de nuestro itinerario,para otra ocasion buscaria algo cerca de la plaza españa o la fuente de trevi que es donde está el ambiente.

6.6

a basic, very clean, well run hotel with personable staff in a very good location.

2.6

I've been to Rome many times and this was the only really bad hotel experience I've had there. The walls were filthy, the furnishings like a college dorm, there was a hole in the ceiling and black mold growing in the shower and the tv was broken so no backround noise except via the window. Breakfast is served outside under an awning next to the gas station and the food comes from the coffee shop next door. Would never recommend this place to anyone!

The hotel has a small reception, no breakfast room and no place to sit down and relax. The room har no chairs, The breakfast is served in a restaurant on the street, and the breakfast was of poor quality. Plastic knife and paper plates. All in all - the hotel was a big disappointment.

Fantastic hotel. They gave us one of the top-floor suites with a view of the Forum, which could not be beat. Staff were fantastic and the location is central to almost everything of interest in Rome. The only downside is the lame breakfast from the restaurant next door. Quality local food can be a 10 minute walk away.

The Hotel Romano was an excellent choice for us during our stay in Rome. My wife and I fly for an airline and have stayed in many hotels in Europe, and for the price (in Rome, at least) the Hotel Romano provides a clean, quiet and spacious hotel literally across the street from the Roman Forum and a couple blocks from the Colosseum and the Colosseo Metro station. This makes it a breeze to get to from Fiumicino airport by taking the train (11 Euros) to Termini station and then two Metro stops ("free" Metro with purchase of the Roma Pass at the airport train station) to Colosseo and a 2 block walk to the Romano. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful, even if their English was a bit spotty. The breakfast was the weak spot of the stay with only a sweet roll, packaged toast and jam, a small juice and a coffee/tea, but it was at least something. Great gelato right next door and good paninis at the store on the corner. There is also a photo store across the street for digital downloading and printing as well as buying digital media , batteries etc. All in all we highly recommend the Hotel Romano for your base for seeing Rome.

Fabulous location near Roman Forum and Colisseum. Small hotel, steep steps no lift, noisy on the street at a main road crossing. Breakfast very average.

The single room at the Romano was clean and neat. As usual in Rome, it was small. But the dark bare floor and high window made it feel like a cell, since there were almost no decorations. It is placed well, next to the Imperiali only two blocks from the Colosseum, surrounded by little restaurants. For a single person on a one-night stay it worked just fine.

Of the four cities we visited and the hotels we stayed in Hotel Romano offered the smallest room. We had a triple and there was not much room to move about. The bathroom was very small also. But the location made up for the size of the room. We were close to the Colosseum and the Metro. The staff was very helpful. And they have Illy coffee at breakfast.

We needed a room in a pinch and the Romano was the cheapest decent room not right outside the train station. We found it clean enough but the air conditioning didn't really work and when we called to complain nothing was ever done. Overall it is fine, the view from our balcony was pretty incredible but the location is very touristy and not super nice. Not trying to be overly critical, it was fine but not much more.
