Hotel Virginia, Rome

Advantages: see the Roman power
Disadvantages: Bad traffic system

...I went to Rome on october 2000, in the sense of Roman city is very good to visit and find out how great the roman power was....I went there by myself and friends. The traffic of the city is very bad in my opinion, they drive very fast and without rules....they usually drive over the light...please don't expect that much to walk immediately when the green light to allow crossing the road.... I had prefered to explore the Rome city by walk because I couldn't stand its transportation system...bus system is very difficult to understand.....taking the underground only when I wanted to go back to the hotel. In the train, please be careful your bag and stuffs especially during the rush hours, the pickpockets work in this time....... Read review

Advantages: Location close to the Train/Buses.
Disadvantages: Distance from the main sites - but hey the walk is great!

...I went to Rome in May and stayed at the Hotel Gioberti, located extremely close to the train station and bus terminus. It was excellent, clean and convenient for transport and sights. It operates on a B&B basis, and is situated in the Via Gioberti. Although the bed was harder than I would have at home, it was comfortable and most important the room and ensuite was clean. Breakfast is a self-service affair on the first floor, offering a selection of cold meats and cheeses, bread, cereals, fresh fruit and the usual tea and coffee. The area around the hotel is one of the cheaper to eat in, with restaurants locally offering a good selection of traditional italian foods. Most of the restaurants we frequented were filled with Italians, as good a recommendation as you'll ever get!... Read review

Advantages: Centrally based on via del corso
Disadvantages: none to speak of

...We stayed at the Hotel Regno for a weekend and were very satisified with everything the hotel offered. Everything was booked directly with the hotel through the internet without any problems. They arranged private transfer to and from airport. The rooms are well appointed and very comfortable. Food is of basic standard but we ate out all the time so that didn't matter. Hotel has a roof terrace with great views. As it is on one of the main roads it can be a bit noisy but nothing off putting. 5 minutes walk to Trevi fountain, 10 minutes to forum and Colosseum. Lots of restaurants close by. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a reasonably priced place to stay in centre of Rome.... Read review
