We stopped over in Rome at the Cristoforo for one night. The hotel was desolate, far from the city center, and the room was filthy. The carpet had a variety of old spills, smudges, and LARGE stains. We were afraid to take off our shoes. We stayed in Italy for 2 weeks at a variety of other hotels and made... more

The hotel is a 20 min walk up a busy street to the Metro Stop EUR Palasport. This particular metro stop is on the same side of the street as the hotel, so you don't have to cross the lanes, though there are crosswalks with lights. This was a nice walk because there are lakes, villas and a different more... more

The hotel is very nice. The rooms are comfortable and the staff were helpful and friendly. The problem with the hotel is its location to the centre of Rome. Getting buses and trains is difficult and time consuming and although within walking distance the road is extremely busy to cross and noisy. If you are staying here and taking advantage... more

Hotel is clean but location is BAD! Stayed here as last nite of Trafalgar tour. Room was small for 3 people. Bathroom clean - marble with heated towels. But there is NOTHING to do. Difficult to walk around at it is right on main thorough fare (6 lanes) with no sidewalks. No shops - only a supermarket. You need to... more

Was the hotel used by Trafalgar for the last night of Simple Italy tour. A week later we booked another 3 days there ourselves thru the internet (65 Euros a night, a good price we think) Tour groups are in the main building, low cost rooms in building 1. Clean, comfortable, and warm rooms staff helpful. No internet. Breakfast up... more

Found the hotel clean and comfortable, but not 4 star. The food was average. Further away from the city centre than expected and along way from the airport. Had to use bus, metro and taxi to get from the airport to the hotel. Taxi expensive to travel from hotel to metro station. Metro service excellent- cheap but not very clean.... more

First, let me say, this hotel is good for the price. We just want to share our experience so you'll know just what to expect for your money. Upon arrival, the place looks cheap, but don't be discouraged right away. Once you get into the lobby, it is nice and clean. The staff was nice, and helpful when asked, but... more

The Colombo is the kind of hotel you would only stay in if you didn't know better. I stayed in the annex, which had the feeling of staying in a motel. The most shocking thing was the breakfast: orange juice made from concentrate in a plastic beaker, and an automatic coffee machine churning out brown gunk with a noise like... more

while our stay wasn't unpleasant, it wasn't everything we were expecting. we got there and were given a ground floor room - so no balcony, no outside space, and no privacy unless you kept the ugly metal blinds drawn, letting in no light. the rooms were small but mainly clean, although we had problem with ants - take insect repellant!... more
