This hotel is certainly for those at the budget end, i.e. those who come on holiday wanting a hotel to be a base rather than to spend the holiday in the hotel itself. We paid 120 Euros for the room, which is pretty good for a central location of a major European capital city. The hotel is bizarrely on alternate... more

This hotel has pictures of the rooms on its website however i'm not sure what hotel these pictures are taken from as out room was nothing like the photos. 3 nights stay in December, the room was just about ok but not to the 2/3 * i would have expected and its not at a value that i would expect... more

I was suprised by how the small the room was (two people could not walk side by side in the room). The staff was pleasant, but i did request a wake up call and never received it. It is a decent location from the train station. I booked this hotel at the last minute on the last night of my... more

By 2 star Italian standards this is ok. The rooms we had were smaller and darker and shabbier than the ones on the website, but they would have been a bargain. The pictures were probably of their best rooms when newly refurbished and professionally lit! Altavilla is quite near Terminale railway station but is in a street with lots of... more

Our room looked nothing like the pictures on the website: it was tiny, taller than it was wide, with barely enough room to fit a double bed and desk. The walls were painted a tacky powder blue, nothing like the light, airy room we were expecting from their pictures, and the television was bolted high up in the corner like... more

Myself and 3 friends stayed here for three nights for approx £80 each for all three nights, so quite cheap to book through the web site in advance. Good Points - Decent location, pleasant breakfast, very quiet and some staff friendly and helpful. Bad Points - My room was a little dirty and dingy. The shower leaked more water onto... more

Ladies and Gentlemen, Stay away from this hotel. We stayed here and the entire setup seems to be out of The Godfather movie ! Rude staff, strange rooms ( either too big or too small ). We were 4 adults and one child. My parents room was so small with a a small toilet and mine was too big with... more

My girlfriend and I stayed in the Alta Villa for 8 nights and found it adequate for our needs. We are well used to budget travelling and only booked a hotel because the hostels in Rome were the almost the same price and it was impossible to get a private room even months in advance. We booked on the web,... more
