Stayed at the Luxor Nov 18-25 2006. Paid 90 Euro/Night for a double room. The room and bathroom were pretty small but we didn’t spend much time in it. It seemed clean and was made up daily. The noise level was a bit of a problem a few nights, some lady was yapping and laughing on the phone all night and it seemed the walls did not block much sound. The staff was not over friendly but OK. The included breakfast consisted of Bread, Croissants, Jelly, Nutella, Cereal, Cheese, Cold Cuts (Bologna), Milk, OJ suff, water, and coffe/tea made to order. The best point of the hotel was the location. It was a 10-15 minute walk to the Termini Train/Metro Station and a 5 minute walk to the Republica metro station. Many famous and not so famous attractions were within walking distance. Given the price and location I would say that the Luxor was worth the stay.

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Luxor the first week of October 2006 and again for one night before our flight home mid month, so we got to stay in two different rooms. Both were decorated in antiques and one had a beautiful mosaic floor . Both had remodeled, tiled, good sized, private bathrooms with plenty of hot water in the nice shower/tub combos. There are stairs but they are wide and easy to climb. There is a private safe in each room. There were flowers in the window boxes on the balconies. The breakfast was large with a good variety set up in a pretty dining room and the kitchen ladies made you what ever kind of coffee you wanted to drink. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. They helped us with tour problems even though it wasnt a tour company that they usually worked with. The restaurant recommendation we got from them was so great we ate there 3 times! They arranged for an affordable taxi to the airport in the early morning hours. The lobby is gorgeous, though small with no bar area. My ONLY complaint is that the pillows were hard and thin and the mattresses could probably be replaced, too. We definately would stay there again as the location is unbeatable for convenient walking around Rome.

We booked last minute at hotel Luxor, reviews seemed OK & it was within the price range we were looking for. Location was perfect, it was the best thing about the hotel. Other than that the hotel was basic. The bathroom was TINY even by European standards & the bed springs were loose, a big problem if you have a bad back. We never tried breakfast because the hotel didnt seem too enticing & we preferred the cafe next door. Dont be fooled by the TV, even though the guy at the reception insisted there were 2 English channels, the only English we heard was on MTV songs. Other than that all Italian & German channels. The hotel staff was OK, though hardly friendly by Italian standards, we expected a warmer attitude. All in all we wont stay there again, we can do much better at these price ranges if we planned well, but if you're stuck on time & absolutely need to go to Rome, this hotel does it.

We just spent 3 nights in sunny Rome in early October.

Hotel Luxor is well located, just off via Nazionale. Only 5 min walk from Termini and about 15 min walk to Trevi Fountain.

The hotel room that we were given was very clean. The bathroom was spotless with lovely large soft white towels which were replaced every day. However, it was TINY. If you are a large person, do not stay in this hotel or you will be unable to use the toilet / shower facilities.

The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. However, we found it a little strange that the hotel could not provide an iron for use in the room.

The breakfast was awful......we only went the first morning. It wasn't worth returning to on the subsequent mornings.
Stale bread rolls, orange/pink coloured water instead of proper orange juice, tiny little ramekin bowls instead of proper breakfast cereal bowls, luke warm milk instead of cold milk for cereal. I can't comment on the coffee but the tea wasn't great....but that's a general problem in Rome rather than in this hotel.

There's a "despar" grocery shop across the road on Via Nazionale....buy your breakfast supplies there :-)

I found our room to be noisy. I could clearly hear activities in the adjacent room and the traffic on via Nazionale. There were a lot of channels on the TV but none in English....not even CNN!!

Would I recommend this hotel? Well, that depends. It's location suited us perfectly and it was clean. It's expensive enough for what you get.....I wouldn't have considered it a 3* hotel. But, we found Rome to be very expensive in all aspects, so the hotel price was probably in keeping with all other prices in Rome.
