we arrived at 11pm and there was no food available. In the evenings the restaurant was closed and we had to go to a local restaurant, it was fantastic. Rooms very basic and the shower was tiny. The vatican was very hard to reach and we could never have walked to it. Would not recommend this hotel.

Rooms are small and pretty basic, set in blocks at the rear of the hotel, but the breakfasts are excellent and the evening meal good without going overboard. Good location for exploring the sights of Rome.Buy a combined bus and metro ticket for 2,3, or 4 days at the bar, get the bus from out side the hotel to the Cornelia metro station and away you go. It's very easy to navigate around Rome via the metro. Taxis back to the airport are a set rate of 35 euros when it's time to leave.

When we arrived in Rome we didn't hold the greatest expectations of the hotel. We, after all, were students and constrained to a budget. Unfortunately all cheaper hotels were booked up already, but we managed to get two rooms in this hotel relatively cheap (but only because breakfast was inclusive, and good). First impressions were good. The buildings are modern, and the front desk helpful. They weren't ready for us to check in, so our bags were locked in a safe area giving us time to explore. The rooms are small, but we weren't wanting a palace. We didn't come to Rome for the hotel after all. The bathroom was generally nice, clean, but a small shower. There are safe's in the cupboards but instructions on how to use them seem to be in some rooms and not others. One of our rooms was very clear and tidy, however our other room had some marks on the walls, and a bit of blood on the sheet. I know, it sounds horrible already! But, a quick visit to the front desk got the problem sorted. They were very apologetic. So.. Breakfast. What a treat! As much as you can eat within a certain time period, up till 10:30am i think it was. Includes hot drinks and juices. Perfect for students trying to avoid spending money on big lunches. When we wanted a meal out, but didn't fancy another trip on the bus, the hotel restaurant was great. Very well cooked food, and a nice traditional menu. Not overly expensive, but slightly more up market than in town. Location isn't ideal, but the bus service is cheap (if you want to pay) and free if you just hop on. No one really checks your tickets. Otherwise... I really liked the hotel. Good looks, not overly expensive, very helpful front desk, good food. Any problems we had were resolved efficiently. And that can make a huge difference to my holidays. G

Very good staff at reception , rooms poor ,every noise can be heard -person next door might as well be in your room -,carpets dirty, walls marked , we had three rooms three seperate buildings - all the same issue, they just have blocks with rooms in grounds, if its raining you will get wet ! tv -well size must be 11 inch ,30 channels only 4 viewable, breakfast ok, find somewhere else please.

The hotel is horrible! The location is poor! The room is small and old! The only good thing is breakfast! Avoid this hotel!

This hotel forces you to be a Roman, you get to take the subway, walk the streets, and best of all two stops from Cipro.. and 5 stops to spagna! great breakfast, and cozy grounds.. hotel staff was cute and helpful...

This hotel is also known as the Domus Pacis...We followed the directions from the airport: Took the train to Rome, took the Metra then waited at the bus stop, 889, for over an hour before these two nuns walked up and told us, in Italian, that the bus does not run on Sunday.....We had carried our luggage up and down subway stairs, escalators, train station, etc. I was so frustrated by the time we got there that I was pleased to have a nice room. The grounds of the hotel are lovely but you have to walk through them to get to your room...and there is no public space in the buildings which house the rooms, so if you get up at night or want to leave the room for any reason to read or whatever, you have to walk to the main building which is ok in good weather. Our room was pleasant and had a nice bathroom with bidet. The halls are tiled so if you are a light sleeper the wheels of rolling luggage being pulled down the halls in the morning could wake one. The restaurant, which has the included breakfast, is lovely and there is a very good assortment of foods, coffees, etc. The lobby is wonderful as is the terrace which overlooks the grounds and old, old chapel. The personnel are mostly friendly and helpful. Maria in the dining room is always pleasant. We were pickpocketed on the bus to the metra, and I was prepared for them, I thought. I would hide ALL money and credit cards. They were in a group of 4 and rude. The second time on the bus I actually saw this man's hand in my husband's empty pocket...must have been a beginner. When we were leaving we asked them to call a cab for us. After about 20 minutes my husband went to the desk and she told him that the cabs were not coming to the hotel that day and to walk up to the Westin, probably because it was drizzling. We dragged our luggage down the driveway, down the narrow sidewalk, to the Westin. We did get a great cab....it is a good thing we had plenty of time. I would recommend this hotel to people who are traveling with a tour group and have a bus to pick them up and drive them around. The public transportation can be very stressful. I would stay there again, only if the weather were warm and someone was driving us around....

This hotel was great value for money. It was a really nice place to stay. It was a 10 min walk from the metro station and only two stops from the vatican. The staff was very nice and very helpfull. The rooms were clean and the hotel surroundings were fab. The restaurant food was good and breakfast was also excellent (except for the sausages!) I would stay here again.

I was actually dreading staying here after reading other reviews on Venere.com about this hotel but, I was very pleasantly surprised. The hotel is slightly out of the way but you can get 98 or 889 to Cornelia nearby and from there you can get the metro to anywhere in the city. The staff I found were very nice and helpful. The breakfast is good. The hotel grounds are lovely and peaceful. Our room wasn't that large but very clean and very large comfortable beds! You will be awoken early by people traipsing their luggage etc up and down the stairs. You can get bus tickets at the bar in the hotel for the week which cover both Metro/bus for 16 euros each for adults and children are free! I would perhaps next time stay somewhere more central but the bus stop is directly outside the hotel. Overall I found this hotel very good value for money etc.
