Had booked Hotel Romanico Palace (next door) then on arrival and without explaination dragged up the street and dumped into Hotel Veneto. And what a dump this place turned out to be.

My wife is pregnant and at week 26 this is supposed to be the last holiday we can fly on so wanted to go to Rome for something special. But the hotel room was dirty as well as pokey. Both hotels failed to explain why we were being relocated from the Four Star Romanico. The PHOTOS WE SAW were of an elegant contemporary room. Crisp linen. What we ended up in was a flea pit. I am busy contacting our tour operator Last Minute DC to try to get the refund for the £700 trip which was done via Easyjet and for 3 nights.
Value for money? No. No. No. PS: The trip was booked 2 months ago ! so not "last minute"

We stayed for 2 nights and upgraded to a room with the jacuzzi bath. The room was spotless (along with the rest of the hotel) and plenty big enough. The only fault we could find with the hotel was that they charge for orange juice with the breakfast (4 Euro).
Rome as a whole is extremely expensive and unfriendly. I paid 21 Euro for a beer and a water, and 81 Euro for a 2 course meal with wine.
The best tip I could give is buy a ticket for the Red double decker sightseeing bus (20 Euro for 48 Hours) and use it as a taxi.

When we arrived - we called the hotel upfront, to inform that we are arriving late. At that time the personnel just wished us welcome, so we took a taxi to the hotel when we arrived in the evening, but:
At the reception they told us that there had been a challenge with their it-system and they had no rooms available - the receptionist informed we had a room for 2 of the 4 nights we were supposed to stay at the hotel, and we had to go to another hotel two blocks away for the first two nights.
The hotel we were guided to was hotel Londra - actually a good hotel, we would have preferred to stay there for the whole visit.
When we two days later checked in to this hotel, the room we got (which was supposed to be an upgraded room), the room was a big disappointment:
The colors and the design of the room and the furnitures was awful, the walls were dark blue / grey and the furniture were painted with a color of gold. There were no place to get electricity to the laptop or mobile phone if you didn't choose to unplug a lamp or the television.
The cupboard in the bathroom, was damaged by the water from the shower.
There is a nice bar on the roof of the hotel, but it was open only for a couple of hours in the late afternoon / evening, and the price of a glass of wine was 7€, this I consider very expensive.

I found the website pictures to be very misleading! The rooms are TINY, TINY, TINY!! We booked this hotel for a 7 day stay and could not even unpack our suitcases because there was no dresser, no drawers, and only 3 hangers. And the minibar (which gave off tremendous heat) is in the armoire which also included the safe, thus there is no room to hang anything. The only nice thing I can say about the room was the rain shower, but the shower itself was also tiny.
The breakfast staff was pleasant, however the front desk staff was very unfriendly and cold, unwelcoming.
Also, the hotel is not located as closely to the Spanish Steps (and other sites) as the website would have you believe.
We also got ripped off by the taxi driver taking us from the train station to the hotel, charged us 20 euro, should only be 10-15.
We did not spend a lot of time in the room, however I expected much more and did not look forward to going to the hotel each night.
All in all I would not recommend this hotel.
