Stay away from here. It's disgusting. I took a party of 14 to Rome for a 4 day cultural tour. We paid the first nights fee in advance by credit card, Fair enough, one would expect that. Upon our arrival they demanded cash in full for the remaining three nights, Tgey stated that they would not accept credit card payments. The rooms were filthy. The showers were broken, the beds were stained and the place was infested with incects. The rooms bore no resemblance to those shown on the website. Further, you get a ticket for breakfast and then you go to a local cafe where you get a breadroll and a cup of coffee. Value 1.5 Euros. You even have to stand up, it's so crowded. At 8.00am after our first night, they were ringing each room up demanding payment for the next 3 nights. This place is a dump. I'm reporting them to the Italian Tourist Board, and we have taken photos of this 'Doss House''. Everything on their website is a false representation as to what you will actually get. Rome is a great city to visit, but a visit here would ruin it. We moved out en-mass. I could see that the receptionist was not suprised. This is obviously a regular event. I could see that she was embarrased. We went to the nearby Hotel Aphrodite. 15 euros a night cheaper, 3 star, clean and modern with a substantial breakfast, taken in an area with access to a roof garden. The hotel RUBINO was truely the worst hotel that I have stayed in, in the whole of Europe. Stay away. You've been warned!

Disgrace!!! Efforts will be made to get this place shut down. It is a health risk, a fire risk and a personal safety risk. Please do not book or even walk into this place, just look in the elevator, it'll convince you not to stay.

For 85 euro less you can stay 100 yards away in a 3 or 4 star hotel. Please don't make the mistake we did and part with your money to this [--] hole.

Booked for several nights but on arrival rooms not ready and place dirty, air conditioning not working, bathrooms dirty, some beds also dirty and shabby and we were asked to pay the remainder in cash later that day. All rooms and bathrooms where the same and we were charged 100 euros per night. Breakfast the next day was a croissant and a coffee at the coffee bar across the road paid for with a 1.50 euro voucher from the hotel but don't expect to sit down to eat or stay long! All our party were contacted to pay the bill in cash straight away. After the first night we all moved to The Aphrodite - just round the corner - 85 Euros a night, clean rooms and bathrooms and a breakfast in the hotel restaurant - go there instead! If you booked & paid you're deposit by credit card then 'phone & cancel your card if you leave early - just in case!

It was not stated when booking that the hotel was on a second floor. the bathroom was tiny and smelt due to poor ventilation. the bathroom walls had old soap marks on them. the double bed was 2 single mattresses pushed together hence my husband and i had to keep pushing the foams together as they kept separating in the middle (and i had my 17months old baby with me.)
Breakfast was extremely poor and outside the hotel- other hotels have a proper buffet and meals are indoors. also we waited a good many mins before the receptionist came to attaned to us even though we had buzzed in and they knew of our arrival. also we came back from a trip on sunday to find out that the room had not been tidied. when someone came, the room was still not swept. Wet towels were dried on the chair instead of been replaced (once). when asked, i was told the AC unit was broken- well then maybe we should bot have been given that room.
Other than for the location, i would not recommend this hotel to anymore.
