Hotel better than we thought judging by the very negative reviews on here. Dont expect too much but the bed, toilet and towels were clean. Is a comfortable room as a base. Initially had a room around the corner from the 24 hour reception. Do not accept a room here, really noisy and breakfast prepared from 6am outside the room.... More

Rooms-no sound proof,very noisy. I can even hear the sound of the bed and the lady having sex on the next room.VERY DUSTY underneath the table.Worst of all they gave two single beds put together for me and for my husband. How can we sleep together? Toilets-TERRIBLE SMELL.UNBEARABLE. Staff-can't understand/speak English. Breakfast-all the same everyday, no choices. Internet access-VERY POOR

Nice staff, lovely breakfast ,uncomfortable bed .The nearest underground is Bologna but watch your belongings on the metro somebody cut right through my handbag and stole my ipod.It is only 4 euros for a day pass on the metro you can get off and on as many times as you want no good if you have walking difficulties though.

The place, price, breakfast, attitude and services are great. Makes me love Rome more! If I return to Rome, I will choose this hotel again!

Well placed medim-smoll hotel.Nice and friendly staff at reception and breakfast room(mention for the 2 young girls from Moldavia and sig.Alfredo!)Good raport price/confort.Excelent breakfest buffet.24 hours free access to internet and coffe/thee in the lobby.

It's far from being a 3-star quality; the staff didn't know English, the rooms are hostel-like, the WC was quite a disaster - there was not decent door, neither a place to put the basic... More

Hotel Athena is close to the Bologna Metro Station (5 mnts walk from the hotel)....it is true value for money...the rooms were neat (I booked a quadruple room) for 4 nights and I would say the room was spacious and clean. Our sheets and towels were changed every day..our beds made by the time we returned from sight-seeing...the staff are... More

Don't expect a "High Class Hotel"...We were in Rome to take in the sights and just have a comfortable place to stay and got what we paid for...Staff was EXCELLENT!!...Nice to have a "Fridge" in the room...Everything very accessible...Room with balcony over-looking the Main Street was great and being in The University District was nice...With what you save on the...

Prior to booking this hotel i took a quick llok at the review, and, to be frank, got a little scared, but the price was so much better then all the other options i decided to take my chances-and was not sorry! Folks, this isnot the ritz or george V, and you must not excpect it tt be! This is... More
