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 ...

Review of Hotel Pisana Palace, Roma

Haven of peace in Rome

Advantages: Very peaceful, friendly staff
Disadvantages: 20 minute bus ride from centre

I stayed in this hotel with my partner as part of a package deal bought on Last Minute. You have to take a bus to get there, it is about 20 minutes from the Termini station (bus 90) and another 10 to get to Plaza Venezia (bus 60). We didn't find this difficult as we live in London and are used to travelling. I also found central Rome very hectic and noisy and so liked returning to a quieter suburb. Plus you get to see the 'real' Rome, where people ...
...have to get off at the Sempione stop, cross the square and go up the hill, taking the first left on the corner with Blockbuster. It is a nice area, with shops, cafes and pizzerias, all much cheaper than central Rome. The buses run all night. The hotel itself is gorgeous. It is four star, in a converted villa. It has very modern decoration, with modern art and black and white photos of Rome decorating white walls. Our Rome had a wardrobe, trouser ...

Review of ARS Hotel, Rome

View of St Peter's from your bedroom!

Advantages: Location, staff, room size, breakfast
Disadvantages: none

I stayed in the Hotel Michelangelo while on a work trip to Rome in December 2007 and i can't fault the hotel. We were holding a conference in their meeting rooms and they were nothing short of amazing in terms of helping us plan the event. As a place to stay, the hotel was perfect. The bedrooms were really large. I had a twin room to myself and it was massive. i'm not sure how much we paid for the rooms, but as a charity, i know it wouldn't have ...
...value for money and helped make our conference such a success. The breakfasts were brilliant and plentiful and the buffet lunch we had was great. The hotel is in the perfect spot for sightseeing in Rome. We arrived late at night, but headed straight out to explore the city - easy to do with such a perfect location right next to St Peter's - i could see the dome from my bedroom!! I can't fault the hotel at all - i'd definitely recommend it for either ...

Review of Starhotels Michelangelo, Rome

Location, Location, Location!!

Advantages: Clean and tidy
Disadvantages: Poor location, poor staff, poor amenities

...chose to stay at the Cristoforo Colombo Hotel for a weekend away simply because it was fairly cheap and was one of the few hotels in Rome that had a swimming pool. Looking back, this was a foolish decision to make. As the hotel was a long distance from the centre of Rome, i spent much of the weekend on buses and underground trams trying to reach the main attractions, and did not even get to use the pool (which it should be noted, looks triple the ...
...Location and Transport Problems: The location of the hotel was not a problem that we couldn't overcome, as Rome has an extremely good public transport system, however the staff at the hotel were not very helpful and it took a while for us to figure out how to reach the public transport, and how to use it. The nearest bus stop is only a ten minute walk from the hotel (the bus takes you to the underground), but you have to cross a main crossroad with ...

Review of Cristoforo Colombo Hotel, Rome

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 ...
