Hotel Garda, Rome

Advantages: Friendly staff, clean rooms, good facilities
Disadvantages: A little too far from town if walking, pool covered

.... The room had a large bed, large balcony and there was a safe and fridge in the wardrobe. The bathroom was modern and all was very clean. The staff were extremely friendly, and the people who manned the desk all spoke good English and were able to advise us on local places to go. Locally there were a couple of wonderful restaurants serving fantastic food for reasonable prices, only a five minute walk from the hotel. However, the hotel is situated slightly out of the town of Desenzano. This was not too much of an issue for us as we had a car and were not there in high season so could park easily in the town, but would be a 20 min brisk walk without. On the plus side, Lake Garda was only across the road from the hotel and if you prefer peace and quiet the hotel certainly offers that. In summary I would stay here again if visiting Desenzano...

Advantages: Location, Price and Staff
Disadvantages: Nothing, It is what it is!

...I recently went on a trip to Rome, my first trip in fact to Italy, I love culture and history so this city was a must on my list. Oh and it's the year of the 'I' - the year in which I visit countries beginning with I, so far I've been, Ireland, Iceland and now Italy. Location ********* The Clarin Hotel is a 2 star hotel situated in Via Palermo, a street central to the city centre although on the Eastern side, and approximately a 5 minute walk from Termini Station and a 10-12 minute walk to the Coliseum and many other attractions. I would recommend getting the train from the airport (either of them) to Termini Station as the hotel is 2 roads away from the station, and as long as your case has wheels or bag isn't heavy you'll be fine walking it. How, where and why to book ******************************** I ended up... Read review

Advantages: Central, cheap, clean,
Disadvantages: holiday was too short!!

...Recently, me and my girlfriend visited Rome. As we were only in Rome for 4 nights we wanted somewhere central so we could see all the sights and do all the touristy bits. We eventually decided on Valle hotel and we are glad we did. ::: Why the Valle Hotel? ::: There are a number of reasons why we chose Valle. The first was that it was central, about 5minutes walk from the main train station (Stazione Termini) from there you can catch a bus to anywhere in the city, or get the metro or a train to other local towns or further afield if you wish. ::: The Hotel::: It is a relatively small hotel with only 40 rooms. There is a welcoming foyer, with a reception desk manned 24/7. There is also a little bar. The rooms are fairly modern, comfortable and very pleasant. All rooms are en-suite. The rooms were clean and inviting. All... Read review
