Hotel Marcus was absolutely disgusting. After looking at the website and through the pictures I got the impression that it was much nicer and more accomodating than it was. The website made the double room look MUCH bigger than it really was. The manager was extremely rude, our room was unbearably cold, the room had a vile smell, there was... more

My girlfriend and I stayed here from 15th-17th June 06, for a city break in beautiful Rome. Upon checking in to the hotel Marcus, I know that we had made a wrong decision as all of the public areas looked very tired and the assistant did'nt speek a word of English (I know i'm in their country) and so the... more

If you're looking for luxury, don't stay here. If you want to watch TV on your vacation and spend the evenings in your hotel, don't book a room in Hotel Marcus. If you want a nice bar and first-class room service, don't stay here. However, if you want a relatively cheap place close to everything, where you can get a... more

This was booked through a well known last momen web site, and has taught me to avoid them (the last moment people) at all costs. We booked an extra night in Rome via our travel guide book, for the same price as our time at the Marcus, and the hotel we booked was a palace in comparison to the Marcus,... more

The room was tiny, but most rooms throughout Europe are. So that was somewhat expected. However, the bathroom was horible, and small. The toilet was not connected to anything! Not connected to the floor, or the wall behind it, nor was the toilet seat connected to the toilet. Using the bathroom was difficult, and a balancing act. Still, worst of... more

Overall, the hotel is in a good location, but myself and 5 other friends who stayed here also agreed the staff were quite unfriendly. This made our stay unpleasant. Even though we tried to converse in the little Italian we knew, to make an effort it did not seem to make any difference to the reactions we received when asking... more

We'd give this place 1.5 stars. We stayed here on May 24, 2006, and found many of the same problems already listed here. On their own, the problems are all minor, but it was disappointing to find so many of them in a hotel with such a high price (165 euros a night). The hotel is very well located however,... more

The location is certainly perfect. The street life was quiet, mercifully. The beds were comfortable, and at least we had our own bathroom. Breakfasts were adequate (if a little sweet) we were able to stash sweet rolls in our pockets for later inthe day. However, the rooms were tiny; the shower flooded easily, the carpets got wet and smelled (but... more

Good points - the location is unbeatable, all major places of interest are within easy walking distance and we were spoilt for choice for places to eat. The night concierge was very helpful. Bad points - the taxi driver had not heard of this hotel! Rooms over looking Via Clementino are very noisy - traffic and people. We had two... more
