Pros: The service was very, very good. They helped us a lot, especially when it came to items we needed. We forgot a toothbrush and they provided us with some, and same thing with packing tape. They are very kind and welcoming. The dining was pretty good, and the prices were very affordable. The restaurant is quite helpful if you just came back from a long trip, and you don't want to look for food. Breakfast is complete, filling, and has great variety, with many Italian and even some American foods. It is far from traffic areas, making it quiet. The shuttle makes the location factor less of a big deal. The rooms were very clean, and the maids do a great job cleaning it up. Free wi-fi, but slow.

Cons: It's location is far from the City Center, and many attractions, however, every morning you can book a free shuttle (7:30, 8:30, 9:30, 10:30) that takes you to the Metro station or the Vatican (Piazza Risogimento which is close to the museum and St. Peter's Basilica). No swimming pool, but it's Rome, and you probably won't go to swim anyways. The food takes a long time to make. TV is small. Those, however, are minor problems.

I was very satisfied with the hotel, and for the money, I think it's one of the best hotels you could get for that price, considering the fact that many of the better hotels are priced at $250. Great hotel, great people, great food, great value.
By the way, when you book, book on their website, because you don't have to pay the tax.
Also, I heard their getting a swimming pool and possibly tennis courts and mini-soccer fields. I really want this hotel again the next time I go.

Our family recently stayed at this Hotel for 3 nights. The staff were friendly and very accomodating. The rooms were very clean and cozy. We had the quad room, our kids loved watching Scooby Doo in Italian. The food at this Hotel was incredible! We dined every night at the hotel resteraunt and the service was impecable. The prices were reasonable too. After a tiring day of touring, it was nice to just walk downstairs to dinner. Most of the local resteraunts were closed for the season or didn't open until after 8:00 in the evening. (not feasible with kids) The buffet breakfast and service was just as good too . The service and food was so good, why would we go anywhere else? The location was just outside the city center. They do provide a shuttle to the Vatican Center which was nice. It's about a 20-25 minute ride by shuttle. A taxi was a 10-15 minute ride, but you have to hang on for dear life! We will certainly come back to this hotel.

Great hotel, reasonably priced. 30 - 40 minutes from center city Rome by bus. Daily runs to Vatican and other spots free via hotel van. Tremendous breakfast buffet - included in price of room. Excellent staff - Gennario runs the best breakfast in Rome. Highly recommended!

I stayed at Hotel Massimi for over a month in the summer of 2008 and it was amazing. We were able to have classes in the hotel and house about 50 students for a study abroad program. Everyone on the staff was so friendly and helpful at all hours of the day and night. The breakfast was always amazing and the wait staff went above and beyond. The rooms were impecable and the whole grounds are beautiful and enjoyable to walk. I hope to return to Rome and stay at Hotel Massimi in the future and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a first class stay in Rome!!
