I travelled with my 11 year old son, and a 24 year old family friend. We had booked the Mallia through Venere.com as it looked comfortable but not expensive, and had free access to an outdoor pool. This pool was pictured on the Venere Website. We were looking forward to the end of our trip and a few relaxing days... More

OK location as just next to station, but not great if you want to stay out late in Rome centre as last train is about 11:30pm. From the outside the hotel looks grubby and we couldn't use our patio because it was really dirty and not welcoming at all (see pic). The reception area is very grand and nice and... More

This hotel makes a false propaganda. They tell the hotel was 4 stars, but for me is none star. I book this hotel in February, pay in advanced for 4 nights, but when we arrive in june, they give us a room totaly diferent from the pictures on the site (in the folder are the pictures). We ask to change... More

I stayed at the Residence Mallia for a week, in two different rooms, in July 2009. The hotel is advertised as four-star but it is absolutely not four-star. It's a decent, good value, three-star hotel. The building is old but the rooms and interior spaces have been renovated and have perfectly decent, new, updated decorations and fittings. The hotel is... More

Cracking hotel for those who want to visit Rome with a family. It had secure parking for the car and is only two stops from the Vatican on the rail link (the rail station is only a 2 minute walk from the hotel reception!). The rooms are small apartments with bathroom, double bedroom and lounge with 2 sofa beds and... More

Just got back from Mallia Residence, stayed 3 night during long weekend in Rome. The hotel is on the ouskirt of the city, but very good to reach by public transport. Just next to train station Baldiuna (you are in 1 minute from train in your room). Room was clean, big enough and clean, confortable, much more than what we... More

Just returned from a 4 night stay here - 2 of us -50+ ladies and we can only praise this hotel. Accommodation was even better than expected - so clean and comfortable and what a bonus the pool was! Paying 3 euros for a bed is ok. As it was August many shopkeepers go on their own holidays and combined... More

The room was quite big and clean with efficient air conditioned, nice also the swimming pool (free entrance asking the ticket at the reception, but 3€ needed for hiring the one of the beds by the pool). The only problem is the distance from the city center. Trains in the near-by station (20m) are not so frequent (about every 40... More
