I read the reviews prior to going and must admit I was more than skeptical but I wanted to be as central as possible and the price was very afforadable for the location so I though I'd take the plunge but I didn't expect anything above average. When I checked into my room, I was really amazed at how clean it was and how comfortable and cosy the room was. The beds especially.

Breakfast was very average...just your usual continental. The only thing I'd have to say was reception staff weren't all that friendly.

Location was excellent! So close to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and Via Condotti.

I'm very picky with my accomodation but I have to say, it was great and I'd stay there again and recommend to friends.

This was the worst hotel that we stayed in. The lobby attendant was unfriendly, rooms were old and dirty. We were 11 in the group and all have the same complaints. Luckily we were able to get an apartment hotel nearby- Resedencia de ripetta. It costs the same as hotel king but definitely better in terms of room space, cleanliness and hospitality of staff. I dont recommend hotel king even if you're in a budget.

I stayed in this hotel for a wedding. I wasn't sure what it was going to be like after reading some of the reviews.
The location was very good, very close to the Spanish steps and once I got my bearings, it was very easy to walk around all the sites. I got a single room which was ok, twin beds ensuite. The ensuite was old and the shower was tiny. The room was ok, not great but fine for a 3 night stay. My parents had a much nicer room with a veranda with table and chairs and a sun lounger and mini bar. My room had none of this. The lay out of the hotel isn't great either, hard with bags.
But the staff were very nice and helpful and I enjoyed myself.
If you're looking for a place to sleep in Rome that's affordable this is fine but it's not luxurious by any stretch of the imagination.

Was a bit apprehensive about the hotel after reading some reviews, but it was much better than expected.
The rooms were spacious and clean. Comfortable beds and adequate breakfast.
The receptionist, breakfast staff and cleaning staff were all very pleasant and helpful.
Although the rooftop terrace did not seem to be used much it was furnished with shades, tables and chairs and as the Hotel is so well placed for all the attractions of Rome it was assumed the people staying there were all out enjoying Rome.
There is not a bar as such but one may order a drinks at reasonable prices and it will be brought to you in the upstairs lounge. There is also a lovely clean bar and eating place a couple of doors away.

It is a couple of hundred metres to Barberini Piazza and the Metro and although we did not use the bus there is a stop a 100 metres away.

It is in easy walking distance of both the Trevi fountain and the Spanish Steps and overall is an ideal place to stay for a few days in Rome and we would certainly use this Hotel again.
