After reading several uncomplimentary reviews on this hotel, I was hesitant to make reservations, but decided to go ahead. I followed up my hostel site reservation which included a deposit with an e-mail directly to the hotel. They responded with my reservation confirmation and answered all my questions. Upon arrival, the receptionist was able to show us two possible rooms.... more

My friends booked a room here for our stay in Rome, and right away we had problems. Their website said that we could pay by credit card, that breakfast was included and that there was free wireless internet. None of these things turned out to be true, which meant a late-night run to the ATM to withdraw hundreds of euros... more

After a couple of weeks they cancelled our booking for no reason at all (they blamed it on my credit card, while my bank confirmed it’s nothing wrong with it). Not until Hostelworld shut them off did they confirm our booking. When we arrived they started quarreling and wanted much more than the agreed price. Not until we threatened to... more

It was our first time overseas, had short time to plan the trip as the main reason was for business in Barcelona. Thought it would be great to see Rome on the way home. On arrival ,even though we had reservations they said they didn’t have our booking. Sheer terror over took us as it was late and we had... more

HOTEL CAPUT MUNDI: bad choice indeed!!! They WILL CANCEL YOUR RESERVATION at the last minute with an excuse, if they will find a longer and gainful reservation. Happened that to us four friends, during the Maratona days in 2007: after 2 months that they had confirmed the reservation and validated it even 2 days before, the morning before the day... more

Never ever stay here!!! After thinking I was ok going through Expedia and getting a hotel reserved online, I traveled to Rome. When I got there I exited the station walked a few blocks to this hotel. It was very late I just wanted to check in. Immediately I knew I was in trouble as the owner of the Hotel... more

The Caput Mundi is Caput It was October, Rome was packed, I had to stay two nights in the city for work and I was forced to stay at the Caput Mundi when nothing else was available. Now I wish I would have slept on a park bench. My twin room was so narrow it had two beds arranged head... more

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT stay in this hotel. It is a small one level place situated in a multi level apartment right next to Termini. The original check in girl was very nice, but when we had issues with the room an older Italian guy was at the desk - completely ripped us off. Very unfriendly. pretended to... more
