Pisana Palace more like Pisana Hostel

Advantages: Nice resturant
Disadvantages: Far out, dated, horrid

...in April and booked this Hotel through Expedia as it was stated at 4*. Upon arrival to the Hotel, it was all old fashioned and quite dingey. Inside the carpets had stain's on and the Hotel lobby was very basic, few chairs dotted around. The staff were not exactly friendly and didnt like to be put out of their way to help you. There were 3 telephone booths in the lobby, one for cards and 2 for cash. The lifts could fit a few people in at anytime ...
...no good view. The Hotel is situated quite far out from the town and is a 15 minute bus journey to the Vatican. The Hotel does supply a shuttle bus 6 times a day 3 in the morning and 3 in the late afternoon/evening for 9 euro per person to the Airport. The hotel does have a resturant which was the nicest part of the hotel and the meals are reasonably priced. The hotel is supposed to have a bar but there was NO sight of any bar when we went there ...

A Great Hotel

Advantages: Close to just about everything you'll ever want to see in Rome
Disadvantages: It's a hotel, not home.

We've stayed at the Napoleon twice now and it just gets better and better! Any review is only ever as good as the impression it gives to the reader and how much information can be taken away from it. So let me give you a few facts about this gem of Roman hospitality. Firstly mention simply must be made of the staff because, bless 'em, they are probably what gives the Napoleon it's great, beating heart. English is more and more the lingua franca ...
...Napoleon will find that all the desk staff are pretty fluent. Not only do they speak the language, they do it with a smile and a "can do" attitude which is simply breathtaking. Rooms are kept spotless. Breakfast is inclusive and buffet style, you'll be attended by staff who are alert yet unobtrusive. Metro Line B is just outside the door and if you'd rather walk you're only 15 - 20 minutes away from the historic centre of Rome and only about half ...

Very Pleasant Hotel for Short Break

Advantages: Location, Price, Breakfast, TV, Walking Distance to Train Station
Disadvantages: Comfort of Beds, Cold Floors, Security

...break, and came across this hotel on the Internet and booked it because it was cheap and it was available last minute. The hotel was 10 minutes walk from the main train station were I was dropped off from Rome-Ciampino airport. The receptionist spoke excellent English. The Rome was very pleasant and was far better than what I was expecting for a 2* hotel. It had a clean and functioning bathroom, double bed, good lighting and satelltie TV. As I was ...
...problem I had with the hotel was that the matresses were slighly lumpy and when I got up in the middle of the night the floors were absolutely freezing. A worry I had was that the main door had no lock and anybody could walk in and the only thing stopping people from getting into the room was a fairly flimsy lock. In terms of location, the hotel was in a excellent place. It was not in the centre of Rome with all the noise it was about 15 minutes ...

Roman gem

Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: None

Stopped in this hotel last August and was very satisfied with the overall experience.The hotel is within walking distance from the main railway termini which is ideal for the half hourly service to da vinci airport,although a taxi from the termini is recommended if arriving at night.Check in was easy,the lobby is very small so felt a little cramped when there was a few people around.The staff were very friendly and helpful when asked for directions ...
...the main ancient roman sites are within walking distance ie coloseum,trevi fountain,pantheon,spanish steps,forum.The room was in need of a refurb but was a good size and very clean and tidy,the shower was over the bath but worked brilliant,the bed was big and very comfy.The air con worked great which is needed if you visit in summer like we did.There are many wonderful restaurants close by all serving lovely food which you would expect in Italy,most ...

Want to Roam around Rome? - Stay Here!

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

...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 ...
...I ended up booking the Clarin Hotel via the intermediary Lastminute.com and I don't know how much they charge in commission but I still found it reasonably priced. I have been on city breaks before where we have skimped on spending loads on a hotel in the centre and ended up suffering and having to wait for buses/trams/taxi's to take us in and out. Which ends up costing a bomb. So I decided this trip we would pay the money and stay in the centre ...
