We stayed in the Porta Maggiore for 3 nights in March 2009. While it was comfortable and satisfactory, certainly a good value for the money, we had some issues. First, the good: it is right across the street from the Porta Maggiore, an ancient Roman ruin - and that was what we saw out our window - how wonderful! Also,... more

I stayed in this hotel on a recent trip to rome with a few mates. It is clean, the breakfasts are good and the staff are very helpful. the barman, Ricardo, is particularly friendly and humourous. the location is good and in a safe area in which to walk in day or at night. The area is quiet at night.... more

We stayed in the hotel for 4 nights at the end of May 2006. It was okish for this short trip. The hotel is about a 20 minute walk to the main Termini station. The front rooms of the hotel can be very noisy if one wants a good nights sleep after the long day of walking around Rome. There... more

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights in May, 2006. The accomodations were fine - the rooms clean. The service was OK at the front desk. The bar terrace was gorgeous. The flowers were lovely. The location was OK, tho the closest metro station was closed for a month while we were there, but it wasn't a bad... more

We stayed in Hotel Porta Maggiore in May 2006. I have to agree with the earlier review in relation to the bathrooms, if you spend more than 5 minutes in the shower the entire floor floods and the slope on the floor is not efficient to drain it. Also there are no windows in the bathroom so in the hot... more

We stayed in Porta Maggiore in January 2006 for 2 nights. It is located close to Termini station. We didn't use any transport- we walked everywhere, even to Vatican. Porta Maggiore is a decent hotel. Great for people who need a comfortable room to sleep and spend the day sightseeing. Rooms were very clean and good size. Breakfast- poor continental.... more

We stayed at the Porta Maggiore in April 2007 and while it's not the worst hotel I've stayed in, it certainly had the worst breakfast I've ever tasted. The orange juice was so sweet as to be undrinkable and the ham and cheese slices which were the only protein available, were of the poorest possible quality. The location was out... more

Stayed at the porta maggiore in december 05. helpful and friendly staff, comfortable rooms & a welcoming bar selling drinks at reasonable prices. A little bit out of the way, however you are right next to the tram and bus terminus which enables you to travel to any part of rome quite easily. I would recommend the Porta Maggiore to... more

The staff were really friendly and helpful. The hotel is clean and has a good restaurant right next door, so perfect if you arrive late. Breakfast was ok, nothing special - cold meats, cheese, cereal, bread, yoghurt and drinks. Hotel is about a 20 minute walk or 10 min bus ride/taxi ride from Termini station so you're away from all... more

This hotel was fab! We went on a girls city break having never been to rome before. The hotel was such good value for money, we were not expecting anything like the standard we got. Lovely decorated, large with tv lounge, bar, shop, good continental breakfast. VERY friendly and helpful staff (who were very understanding about our loud girly giggles/squeals... more
