I was going to Rome for a cruise with my wife and mom and needed a reasonable place to stay for a night. The location was nice, by the opera house amd some restaurants nearby to eat at. The room was clean, fresh and quite functional. It is what I call a business room, no real local flavor, but clean and functional and all I need when traveling abroad. I have been to some real bad hotels and this was perfect for me, no problems. The included breakfast was very nice and this served all my purposes for the stay. If you need a clean hotel that is modern and fuctional for your stay this is it.

The Star Hotel Metropole was the first Hotel we stayed at on our 10-day tour of Italy. This was our first overseas trip.
Staff at the desk were helpful - we were the last of our group to arrive & the brief for our tour had already started. Check in was quick and desk staff directed us to meeting room after we checked into our room. The foyer was tastefully decorated with marble floors and staircases, timber cabinetary, well lit and some large comfortable leather couches in foyer. Door man at front welcoming guests and the entry was very clean and welcoming.
We had decided that before we left on our trip to be open minded about the quality of the hotel rooms on this tour as we were pre-warned that the star quality rating is different in Europe to Australia.. We were more than happy with our room, for us it was elegant, without being overly ornate or plush and way above our expectations.The room was spacious with a tasteful decor. Marble bathroom complete with shower and bath - small LCD tv in bathroom was a bonus. Lots of good lighting over sink. Air conditioning, bar fridge, good cupboard space and room safe.
Beautiful clean crisp bed linen along with large bath towels were changed daily. We were very impressed to be able to request a specific pillow as my husband requires good support after having surgery for neck problems and had not been able to bring his along for the trip.
No iron in room but laundering service available.
Breakfast was served in large dining room and was traditional American contintental including lots of fresh fruit, juices, a variety of cooked items plus the wonderful assortment of Italian cakes, crossaints and biscotti. Dining room staff were very friendly and always quick to serve guests with their preference of tea or coffee.
Location was good.Close proximity to Termini and train stations. We took the train to "Spanish Steps" and Trevi Fountain on our free day - easy to get around. The other sights of the Coloseeum and Vatican were with the group.
We ate out at a little restaurant a block away from the hotel both nights which served a tasty pizza and a glass of red . Lots of places close by to choose from.
Internet Cafe across the street.

An excellent spot in the heart of Rome. Walking distance to many famous Rome sites. The hotel is nice and clean. I stayed during the earthquake that recently hit Italy, so I could feel the hotel shaking. Scary! But otherwise, this is an excellent hotel with great service.

This is a small hotel located in a quiet street opposite the Roma termini. The staff were extremely good, making us feel very welcome while also providing extensive local knowledge to make the most of our visit. The room was very quiet and well presented creating a great place to relax after busy days on tour. The location is perfect both for access to Rome attractions and also to arrive and depart from this busy city. We could not have had a better trip to Rome! Bravo StarHotel Metropole.
