The Hotel Donatello is in the "lower-priced tourist" area of Rome but we found the staff to be wonderful and very helpful. The first night the hotel was full so we were escorted by the owner over to another hotel. Once we returned to the Donatello the next day we were upgraded for our "trouble" to a beautiful double room.... more

Stayed at the Donatello on a weekend break with my husband. Very easy to find from the Termini Rail Station - Catch the 105 bus and it's 4 stops from there, just across the road. First impressions were 'iffy', like the real thing doesn't match any web photos! Area is a little run down, lots of graffiti but that's true... more

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights as part of a "build your own" vacation from Gate 1. The hotel was "as expected". Not in the city center, but not far from the metro station "Manzoni". It was very easy to get there from termini, we just had a hard time finding the hotel on th street. The location... more

Traveling on a budget, this hotel met our needs for price and reviews. The staff is absolutely fantastic and the rooms are cozy and clean (note the shower is very, very small). I loved the hotel but the location left much to be desired. It's about a 20 minute walk from Termini station but not the the nicest of areas.... more

This is my second time to stay at this hotel. Although the hotel changed a bit since my last stay in 10 years, the entire experience was wonderful. The rooms are small overall, but clean and worked well for our purposes. Breakfast on the outside patio was a great experience. Worth the money compared to many other places we could... more

The staff is amazing here, though the location is sub par. My room was not ready when I arrived, so they arranged for me to stay at a 3 star hotel across the street for the first night. The manager even helped me carry my luggage and walked me over there. Rooms are very clean. It even has a mini... more

My husband and I had a positive experience at this hotel. The staff was very friendly and spoke english well. As soon as we arrived the man working at the front desk offered us his suggestions of what to do while in Rome (since it was our first trip) and he laid out a walking tour for us on the... more

This hotel was a nice surprise as we had booked a trip to Rome and Paris on a budget through Gate 1 Travel (Travelzoo). We did not upgrade from the basic package. The hotel is conveniently located near bus and metro stations with a internet and international call center within a block. A large grocery store is within a 5-... more

My wife and I stayed 3 nights at this hotel in June/2007. We managed to find it quite easily thanks to one of the reviews on this website. Arriving in Rome Ciampino, take the Bus outside the airport to Termini Station, and then catch Bus 105 and count 4 stops. Very easy. The staff was very nice and spoke good... more

I'm not sure why most are saying this hotel is good. My friend and I had a horrible experience at Donatello hotel. We did not feel safe at this hotel. Neighborhood looks shady and does not appear to be safe. Location is out of no where and away from all the attraction sites. Upon arriving, the receptionist gave us the... more
