I have just come back from a stay at the Hotel Gambrinus and would stress 'this is not a 4 star hotel' as it claims. There is a certificate above the reception given to them by expedia dated 2005 but they either stayed in an exclusive part of the hotel or it has gone down hill rapidly in the last 4 years. The hotel is definitely not in a highly privileged position in the historic center of Rome as claimed on their website It is approximately 40 mins walk from anything of interest, so expect to pay alot of money on taxis, metro or be prepared to walk, walk, walk. The overall look of the hotel when you enter is bright, clean and spacious but when we went to our room it was small, dull and badly lit. I would have opened the curtains to brighten the room but there was someone laying on their bed in a room opposite because all the rooms faced each other in a court yard fashion. When entering the bathroom it was so small you had to close the door which would hit the toilet to get into the shower. The shower doors were actually hanging off and when my partner tried to pull it closed it came off in her hand. When successfully in the shower you had to run around to actually get wet because the water pressure was so poor. The bed was ok but we had two pillows between us which were the thickness of pitta bread so a very uncomfortable nights sleep. There was a bottle of complementary wine which I thought was a really nice gesture but it tasted of vinegar. Breakfast was the usually european buffet but this was very limited. There was a choice of soggy scrambled egg, greasy bacon or tinned fruit. There was not fresh produce at all. The only real benefit I would say about staying in this hotel is the Italian restaurant opposite which is excellent and I had the best pizza of my life in there. I only stayed two nights and payed 150 Euros which I don’t think is very expensive, but all I will say is "this is not a 4 Star hotel, 3 Star maximum".
