Serviced Apartment Residence Aurelia Antica - Rome

9.2

This room was perfect for our family of four. It is a little outdated, but that did not change our opinion. The folks at the front desk were very polite and helpful. It is a little far from the city center by foot, but the bus stop is right next door and will connect you to where you need to go. Get to know your bus lines...your feet will thank you!! We would definately stay here again. You really can't beat the price!

I liked staying in the hotel. I will definitevely consider to come again.

8.8

Unfortunately, the swimming pool was out of order, so we went to Crown Plaza for this (just near). Cards to access to the swimming pool were quantitatively limited!! Employees were not always very sympatic. And it was difficult to find the hotel. But hotel was very clean, large and quiet. We recommand it.

9.5

Excellent facilities. Because the own swimming pool was not available access to the neighbouring pool was arranged. We read some comment that there are no restaurants around the hotel but first there is the restaurant in the hotel next door and there is the neighbourhood to the left of the hotel which looks a bit scruffy but has a nice restaurant and some pizzerias. One minus is that the appartment has a kitchen but does not have crockery and cutlery. Access to town is ok but busses on Sunday and holidays can be tricky. Taxis are available from the next door hotel because ordering them to come is costly.

8.4

The most important problem I encountered was that on my arrival I asked the reception if I can pay in US dollars and he said its OK; but when I was leavingthey requested Euros and I had to spend an hour finding a place to exchange my money... Also, the breakfast time was from 7-10, which would be much better if it was from around 6 if someone wanted to go out earlier especially in summer. The swimming pool hours were from 10-19:30 which I also missed every day, whcih could be start from 8 or end until 20:30...

8.4

the pool for children was very good

8.1

Six of us stayed in a double room and a quad. The double room was cramped, the quad less so. Two of us returned a week later and stayed in a more spacious room for two nights. Staff were friendly and helpful. We were B & B and breakfast was adequate.

9.9

2 minutes from bus stop. Excellent place to stay.

8.7

Ottima sistemazione; luogo tranquillo, accesso ai mezzi pubblici, parcheggio; disponibilità del personale; vivamente raccomandato.

7.6

A great help to find the hotel would have been in advance by stating our booking to send us per mail the numbers of busses reaching the hotel and the tube station to get off!

7.0

The place is beautiful, employees are polite and give correct information. The only point that we need to take care is cleanliness of rooms. We enjoy a lot.

8.3

Hotel's location is really nice and people who are working there are so helpful. When you have an problem Hotel 's stuff immediately helpful. Rooms are cleaning everyday and breakfast is nice. I 'm really happy to stay in this Hotel in Rome. One of the reason is location : It is easy to go center Rome using metro , bus combination. Another one is price is cheap compare to center Hotels:)))

10

Very pleasant stay. We will recommend it.

7.0

nice place ; some problems with noises and moquette (dust allergy). when you need to eat or drink something it's not easy (restaurants and shops not so close to the residence). Excellent breakfast , very kind reception, ok the swimming pool and tennis courts. Rooms very large and also comfortable.

8.8

very good adress near St pierre cathedral

3.1

My experience at Aurelia Antica was quite unpleasant. When we arrived, we notified the receptionist of the change of our check out date. He specificly said that there was no problem, and made me sign a document for our check in with the new check out date. The following day, the same receptionist was asked to book our transfer to the airport and made no comment about any problem concerning the modification of our reservation. The following day, at the moment of our check out, an extremely bad mannered lady asked us the reason why we were leaving a day earlier (as if it were any of her business)and we told her that we had already told the receptionist that we were going to leave our room before the scheduled date, and that he said there was no problem. Then, the receptionist arrived, and also with extremely bad manners, lied about the whole situation and told us that he had warned us that we would have to pay the extra night. In sum, I would have probably accept the conditions, should I've been warned at the moment of our check in. But I am not willing to accept being lied to my face, and being the object of the lack of consideration, ill manners and disrespect by the reception staff. I do not deserve to be treated as a liar. I would have been satisfied with an apology, but it was probably more than what you could expect from the uneducated staff of Aurelia Antica. This is why I would not recommend anyone to stay at this hotel.

8.4

Molto buono il rapporto prezzo/qualità (mini appartamento per famiglia con due bambini), arredi vecchiotti e divano letto un po' scomodo, ma stanze pulite e tranquille, bagno grande, colazione ok, autobus appena fuori dal cancello (utili i biglietti alla reception), piscina inutilizzabile per lavori

8.2

This was an ideal location for our family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers the rooms although old fashioned were clean and tidy and we got fresh towels and linen every day. it was good base as we went to the city everyday and only returned in the evening. we dined in the local restaurants and the next door crown plaza. staff were very helpful, and it was exceptional value.

8.0

Good site - personel kind, though they wanted credit card number at start as insurance for payment. Expensive but very large rooms and clean structure.

6.3

the bus into rome is just 2 min away- although sometimes we had to wait for more than 30 min. the distance to vatikano is only 40 min walking, though. the walk along the heavy traffic road without any pedestrian walk way is dangerous. the next superstore is 30 min away, but you need to walk the same dangerous road. the personel at the reception is very helpfull. the personel at the breakfast room is hopeless and not doing their job: one morning we had about 50 backpackers in for breakfast and the rest of the guests couldnt find a clean table, nor cups and the staff was standing around and chatting.

5.3

Hotel was too far from the center of Rome. Expensive to take taxis and buses took too long. Hotel was clean. Personnel was friendly. Prices are too high for being so far from Rome's center. I would not go back.

7.7

Disponibilità e gentilezza dello staff, buona la posizione. A un passo dall'Aurelia, ma lontano dal traffico. Il centro è piuttosto facile da raggiungere con i mezzi pubblici.

7.8

positiv: der Getränkeautomat mit preisgünstigen gekühlten Getränken 24 h zugänglich, ruhige Lage, geräumige Zimmer, gute Busanbindung negativ: beim ersten Mal schwierig zu finden, liegt etwas versteckt, dadurch aber ruhig; vorhandene Vierbettzimmer für Familien nicht buchbar bei venere

8.3

El transporte al centro es rápido, al menos en Agosto. Cuidado frecuencia autobús, en festivo baja bastante. La piscina cuesta dos euros/dia/persona y no tiene zona separada para niños pequeños. El hotel está muy bién y es barato. En el Crowne Plaza (al lado) hay restaurante y cafetería. Por lo demás en los alrededores no hay nada.

9.1

The Hotel is in the style of serviced apartments, however there are no utensils supplied, although I understand these are available to hire. The rooms are spacious and adequately equiped. The room initially suffered from smelly plumbing, but after openning the windows for an hour or two, the problem disappeared and did not reoccur. I suspect the it had been locked up for some time. With a well equiped bathroom and private bedroom it was pleasant. For teenagers the beds could have been more substantial, as they were sofa seats which fold down for a bed, as they slept in the lounge room they got the TV. Given how tired we were after each day our two did'n't complain. The rear facing apartments are very quiet and has a bushy outlook onto greenery, and a couple of spacious balconies were pleasant. The staff could not be more helpful and after a day we mastered the bus system , so the location was no problem, because the bus has it's own express lane. Breakfast was a delight after Paris, with stewed fruit, yogurt, toast, various crossants and reasonable coffee. I would go back.

8.6

We stayed here for 3 nights and we were pleasantly surprised. It was clean, room was nice, bathroom was clean, all lights worked, etc. Breakfast was disappointing, toast or cereal. Swimming pool fantastically refreshing after a long hard day walking around Rome. But bring a blue towel with you from home or you have to pay 2 euros everytime you visit the pool as they insist you use one of their blue towels, you are only allowed blue towels in the pool area. (god knows what that is all about). If you want a drink in the evening the Crown Plaza is next door which is lovely to have a drink in, in the evenings - but pricey! We paid 16 euros for a rum and coke and a glass of wine. Buses to take you into Rome are 881 and 96, you can buy a bus ticket in newsagents for a week for 12 euros which you can use on buses, trams and tubes - bargain!! If you get any mad ideas you want to watch the football, don't buy tickets off a tout as when you get into the ground they ask for your passport. If you haven't brought it they kick you out and if you have brought it, they scan the ticket which will have someone elses name on and see you are not that person and kick you out anyway!! Good way to waste a lot of money. Anyway, rome was brilliant and the hotel fab - we would go again definatley!!

8.1

some road noise, but spacious rooms and overall a good base with free parking from which to explore rome. cheap bus service runs past hotel, pizza places / local shops etc within 10 minute walk, staff very helpful though "free use of pool" isnt - there is a charge of 2 euro for towel hire. minor gripe though - overall to be recommended

7.9

l'hotel avrebbe bisogno di una ristrutturazione generale, anche se il rapporto qualità-prezzo è buono. La colazione manca di cibi salati e anche quelli dolci non sono il massimo. La nota più negativa rimane la scortesia della presenza femminile alla reception, assieme all'uomo della piscina.

9.0

Great rooms, adequate prices, exclusive equipment. Swimming pool excellent, especially on very hot summer days. The location is good for car-drivers (great parking area). The disadvantage of the hotel is the very complicated bus transfer to the city of Rome and the surrounbdings which are not comfortable to pedestrians.

9.7

Ideal hotel for a stay for family with children. The historical center easy accasable via public bus - 15 minut from Vatican. The bus station is 200 m from the hotel. The hotel is located in a silence location - 150 m out of the main street. Parking place near hotel free of charge.

8.6

The residences was as we expected.The price/quality provide was really good. However the "promises" got in the reservation was not totally as the reality.Ohh, this "famous blue towel" for the swimming-pool!!!!In the reservation was mentioned : "Access to the swimming-pool INCLUDE". You forgot to mention that only the access is included, but not the swim. It was possible only having a blue towel(from the swimming-pool guy, at 2 euro/person/day).Not nice at all. Otherwise everything was fine.If we will in the future visit again Rome, we will go again to this address(with the blue towel in the lugagge,hoping that they didn't change the colour!!) :O)

7.1

Place was a little inconvenient to the main tourist/restaurant areas, but accessible to public transportation. Continental breakfast "service" was included, but you still had to pay 5 euros per person for the food. The breakfast was okay, not great.

8.0

Highly raccomended. Very good price/quality

9.1

This hotel give you a wonderful place to stay in Rome. It is a pleasant surprise and I am very happy to recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a pleasant quiet place tostay in Rome.

8.9

We stayed in a one bedroom style apartment. We had breakfast most days of our stay. We had most of our dinners at a restaurant next door or at the local pizzeria about 5-7 minutes walk from Residence Aurelia.

9.4

This property was by far the nicest place we stayed during our 2 weeks in France and Italy. It was a great value for the price. If you are arriving by train or plane I would suggest you take a taxi to the hotel since it was not easy to find. It was convenient to bus service once we got our bearings.

9.0

We stayed two nights. Very comfortable, balcony, suite, breakfast was very good. Although it is far away from downtown and the sights, there is an easy bus to Saint Peters, and connections from there. Large, impersonal hotel feel with budget prices.

8.0

Negativ ist, dass das Hotel absolut abseits liegt, daher wohl auch der günstige Preis. Ohne längere Fußmärsche ist es noch nicht einmal möglich, sich mit Lebensmitteln zu versorgen. Die Gemütlichkeit einer Hotelbar fehlt völlig. Die Heizung des Pool's scheint defekt zu sein, da die Wassertemperaturen stark zu wünschen übrig ließen. Mit dem Taxi kann man alle Sehenswürdigkeiten bzw. U-Bahnstationen gut erreichen. Ab 4 Personen rentiert sich hier, den Bus sausen zu lassen. Für Kurztrip's von Sehenswürdigkeitenjägern ist das Hotel, wenn man das hohe Preisniveau in Rom bedenkt, ok.

7.6

Good value convenient locaton with free parking adjacent to Crown Plaza St Peters. Front desk very helpful and competent. Hallways had poor lighting, dingy worn carpets and stained walls. Room was small, furniture old and battered, and AC worked sporadically during August heat. Website shows large apartment-sized rooms; nothing like the small room received. Free breakfast in basement was acceptable but nothing special. Price is reasonable compared to similar elsewhere in Rome.

6.6

Coses bones: bon preu, habitacions espaioses i agradables. Coses dolentes: La piscina val 1 euro i et lloguen una toballola. No la porteu de casa. Alguns recepcionistes son poc amables. Si hi aneu amb nens potser tinguen problemes. Volen molt silenci, son poc tolerants amb aixó

6.9

Hotel mit Gratisparkplatz und Bushaltestelle vor dem Hotel. Liegt neben dem Crowne Plaza Hotel, schon etwas abgewohnt, aber Preis-Leistungsverhältnis für Rom ok. Hinweis auf Crownw Plaza würde das Auffinden erleichtern! Außerdem zentrale Lage!

9.5

Very good value for money - 100 euro/night for a quadrouple (2 big rooms)incl. breakfast and with a nice pool area - in Rome in July!. The service was excelent. We got a lot of help from 2 very nice men in the reception(the lady however could go a charm course). There was a bus every 15 minutes outside the hotel. 2 stations to the Metro and then with the same ticket with the Metro to city. Very easy. There where also 2 nice local restaurants very close to the hotel. We could highly recommed the hotel, especially in summertime.

8.6

A really good place to stay in Rome. Close to bus stop, bus to city or the train. A bit confusing as differnet bus routes on weekends. Breakfast good, staff helpful. Airconditioning struggled a bit in the heat. Pool guy very unfriendly. Hotel a little duplicitous about paying to use the pool. Overall very good. Had a great time in rome, helped by the hotel. Great value.

7.5

Picture on Web pages were much better then reality, Generally OK,but vending machines serving cold and hot drinks were not operating and stealing our money!!!

10

only problem we had was that we could not book a room at the hotel for our return to Rome (3 weeks later).. the price was more than 100 EU more than the price through Venere and we did not have access to the venere site in English to attempt to make this booking... so book in advance and then cancel if you do not like the accommodation but to be honest... this accommodation was the best deal we had during our entire vacation in Italy... great value and convenient to bus service into the sights. Pool guy was a bit unfriendly.

8.6

Ottimo Hotel ben collegato al centro di ROMA ( la fermata dei mezzi pubblici è a due passi ). Ottimi gli appartamenti ( unico neo è la rubinetteria e la vasca da bagno arrugginite ) Colazione ottima e abbondante.

8.3

La rue (très longue) et le bâtiment ne sont pas facile à trouver. La literie est un peu molle mais la climatisation est appréciée, ainsi que le buffet petit déjeuner. Appartements spacieux. Nous avons également apprécié la piscine après une journée de visite, dommage qu'il faille payer 1 Euro pour y accéder. La possibilité de laisser la voiture sur le parcking est également intéressante, car les transports communs fonctionnent bien.

9.5

Très bel endroit, calme pour profiter du charme de Rome tout en préservant des moments de détente autour de la piscine (en été, et serviette payante obligatoire). Les chambres sont des appartements. Pas de service de restauration sur place mais un excellent petit déjeuner qui est compris dans le prix (ce qui était une - bonne - surprise).

8.6

Excellent base for visiting Rome with very comfortable rooms although the air-conditioning automatically switches off at 1.00am. Bus 916 does not pass the property - you need nos. 881 or 98.

5.7

For a four stars residence we expected more: room was not clean, old furnitures, there was not air conditioning with remote control (in fact, air conditioning worked just from 11am to 12 pm, so like our room was in the last floor it was hot to sleep)Breakfast good. Swimming pool subject to a charge (1€/towell)

8.7

It was what we expected. 2 Rooms with kitchen and bathroom. Only italien TV. Breakfast was ok, samll buffet, coffee was surpising good. The overall prices in Rom are to high. I mean a espesso is about 4 Euro = to high. We enjoyed the city and our stay in Aurelia Antika Appartments.

8.3

Bon rapport qualité/prix. Bien desservi en bus pour atteindre le centre ville. Un seul défaut = l'isolation phonique entre les chambres.

8.6

Ottimo Hotel, un po' distante dal centro di Roma ma ben collegato da mezzi pubblici(per chi arriva da Termini occorre prendere la Metro e poi un bus). Ottime le camere e gli appartamenti (spaziose e pulite). Ottima la colazione (abbondante e tutto sommato buona). Personale sempre all'altezza, competente e disponibile. Unico neo: gli asciugamani non sono cambiati tutti i giorni; nei nostri tre giorni di permanenza non sono mai stati cambiati.

6.9

Un po' fuoriporta, per fortuna e' ben connesso con gli autobus. Camere grandi (fin troppo), pulizia appena sufficiente, bagno scarso. Gentilissimo il personale anche a capodanno.

9.4

Probably the only negative thing was the breakfast--for a four-star residence we expected more. The cappuccino was terrible. But overall we were very pleased with the location, the room(s) and the price.

8.0

Rubinetteria arruginita. Vasca da bagno e piastrelle rotte. Ho fatto sostituire il televisore perchè il gas del tubo catodico era esaurito
