The hotel was very scruffy light bulbs in rooms without shades. No curtains at windows. Wallpaper in the rooms were falling off. In the bathrooms the shelf was not straight couldn't put anything on it. The shower had to be held as nothing to fix it to. We asked for glasses for the room but they never appeared. We asked... more

Esquilino was the first hotel we ever booked online, finally taking that plunge after years of depending on travel agents. Well, it nearly turned us off e-booking! The hotel is a super location, I grant you, and every building in Rome tends to be old and dilapidated (part of the charm for sure) but there's no excuse for hotel rooms... more

Arrived by taxi and couldn't see the place, you have to clamber through a little door in a gate. The place was old, but this is Rome...however the accomodation wasn't up to even 1* standard. Noisy rooms as window shutters rattled, uncomfortable bed and the toilets were cubicle style, imagine having a type of portaloo in your hotel room! The... more

I had read lots of bad reviews about this hotel , but being totally honest it was grand. The only thing that wasnt perfect was most of the staff didnt speak english, only one girl. But we managed !! The rooms were very clean and the beds comfortable. And the shower was great! The room didnt have a tv.......but what... more

The only good facts: Has a great ubication, near by the Santa Maria Maggiore church and the bathrooms were new. The rest: one of the worst nights of my life ever! Rome by summer is an oven, and they gave us a small fan that barely blowed the hot air of the room. The small tv has no remote control,... more

I was very skeptical of the place after reading all the previous reviews but turns out this was actually a really good hotel for us to stay at. THE BAD: It is true what people say about the towels though, they are just thin strips of cloth that feel like cardboard and yes the beds could've been better but they... more

This hotel was recomended through Busabout. On arrival the reception staff seemed ok.. provided us with a room key and map. He had an American Accent but spoke Italian also.. When we entered our room i had a look in the bathroom.. a sewerage stench was present.. My travel buddy used the toilet for it to then start coming through... more

This hotel does exactly what it says on the tin but i'ts scraping for 3 stars really. It is very basic. You go in through a big gate in the wall which isn't very clearly marked and walk through a scruffy courtyard to get to the Hotel, which is on the 1st floor of this big building. Our room and... more
