A Palace for the budget-minded traveller

Advantages: Cheap, lovely roof terrace, helpful staff, good facilities
Disadvantages: Not so close to Rome's attractions

I stayed at this hotel in February 2007 having had to hastily rebook somewhere after BA cancelled flights at the end of January. I had read a few things about the hotel on the tripadvisor website (excellent source for hotel information) and having weighed up the positive and negative comments I decided to go with it. We ended up paying about 45 Euros between us a night for a standard double - very reasonable in Rome. Lets start with the location. ...
...by all accounts. This hotel is about 5 minutes walk from the Terminii but in fairness we did not come across any problems at all and in the end it was a blessing to be so close as our coach transfer was to and from the terminii. From the outside it looks like your standard continental city hotel - nothing special. The reception (open 24 hours) was relatively clean with a nice marble finish and we were seen quicky and the check in was very easy. ...

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 ...

strategically positioned

Advantages: one minute away from piazza di spagna
Disadvantages: not a dream hotel in a dream place

Amazing position. Its only a few meters away from piazza di Spagna - perhaps Italy's most famous piazza. Girls will love visiting the numerous boutiques of via Condotti. Its strategic position makes it the perfect accommodation if in Rome for the first time. If not, am sure you can find a better deal for your money in a less central area. The personnel is rather kind and helpful- although they charged me in the end a couple of things from the fridge ...

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 ...

Sharing my experience of the Sheraton Roma

Advantages: Comfortable hotel - handy for the metro
Disadvantages: Characterless - can be expensive

...booking the Sheraton. The Sheraton isn't in central Rome, it's in the EUR district. This presented no significant problem however. It's a breeze to find - take junction 26 on the ring road and head for central Rome. Go through the EUR district almost to the very end and turn left at the sign that says 'Sheraton Hotel' (you can see it from the road anyway). It's a big, modern(ish) hotel with absolutely no redeeming features architecturally but all ...
...what you'd expect in a Sheraton - glitzy and shiny with lots of leather sofas dotted around for those little tete-a-tetes, a large area to go online (or as they say ' the Link@Sheraton experienced with Microsoft'), and a large piano bar just off to the side. There's also a small shopping mall with four or five outlets offering gifts, jewellery and tobacco etc. Having sorted that all out, I went to park the car. The hotel does have (unguarded) free ...
