NH Villa Carpegna - Nice Hotel!

Now officially an NH property, the Villa Carpegna was a Nice Hotel in an okay location. The rooms were clean and neat, although a bit dated-looking - not like the newer / contemporary NH's I've stayed in.. The staff were very friendly - the bar staff were great. Food? Well, there was plenty of breakfast and a good varierty, catering for most European tastes but I wouldn't pay the prices for the evening meal. Way too expensive and who wants to eat in the hotel, when you have all of Roma!?!

Anyway, I enjoyed my stay and would probably go back. The pool looked fabulous but we never got the chance to go in as it didn't open until 10:00 and was off-limits by the time we returned from sight-seeing in the evening (basically after 19:00 - but maybe the timeframe is seasonal?). Hey-ho, just something you might want to consider if a pool is a must-have - this was one of my reasons for booking the NH; the thought of an invigorating swim in the morning or a cool dip post tourist-day.

So, getting there / out & about. Loads of buses into town unless of course it's belting down like it did on our first day and you have to get a taxi to Piazza San Pietro ... and get ripped off ... lol. Because we got into Ciampino late-on, we jumped on the Terravision bus to Stazione Termini then got a taxi to the hotel - get the bus tickets from the vendor outside of the airport, they're cheaper and a return is best. You won't miss the "touts" waiting for you.

Alternatively, if your cost-cutting get the Metropolitana - either from Anagnina (nearest Metro to the airport) or Termini to Cornelia, then jump on buses: 916, 791, 190, 98, 46/ or C6 a few stops down to Via Gregorio VIII and get off at McDonalds!

Similarly, going into town there's a host of buses near to the McDonald's stop but you may want to download a map or buy one for EUR2.50, it helps. You can walk to Piazza San Pietro - weather permitting - we used this as our starting point and walked most places from there. The Metro is easy to use though but get a pass - 3 days was EUR11 I think and can be used on the buses too. I tried 3 tobacconist's but they'd ran out of the 3 day one's so I just got ours from the machines in the stations. Where was I? Oh yes, McDonald's. I didn't have a detailed map at first so if you are on Via Gregorio VIII with McDonald's to your right, head up to the corner towards another main road - keeping to the left (I think there's a Renault-Nissan showroom on the left) then take this left. Continue a little further on, past the petrol station on your right and do another left. You should see the hotel entrance / drive on the right over the road. I found the public transport great to use but could have done with a heads up before I went.

Booked up this hotel on a website under the 'top secret hotel' guise. Have to say I was worried having read all the reviews. Happy to say I was very happily surprised. Whilst yes it is a little way out (20 min walk to the Vatican), it is a great spacious hotel of very good standard.
The breakfast is excellent, a great selection for all, the staff very friendly and helpful.
If you want a central hotel where you don't have to travel then this isn't for you, however if you want somewhere away from all the hussle and bussle this is ideal. I would recommend this hotel and would stay again.

The room level was standard. Although it was clean, it was incredibly small and claustrophobic. The weather was nice, but you could not leave your window open because of the loud traffic noise. Amazingly enough, it had nowhere to store your clothes - not a dresser drawer to be found, only a very small, hard to access closed with a limited number of hangers. The hotel did not have an iron for guests to use, forcing me to use their laundry service to have two skirts and a blouse pressed at at cost of 16.50 euro. The staff were in general cold at best, rude at worst. The food was extremely marginal. Breakfast every single day was snotty eggs and extremely undercooked bacon. Dinner every night was a pasta, and most times, a mystery meat served lukewarm at best. From night to night they could not agree on whether or not coffe was at an extra charge or not. Members of our party were the victim of a bait and switch when they ordered two bottles of Chianti which were listed on the menu at 12 euro. When they received the bill, they were charged 20 euro. The kitchen manager said they were out of the wine which was ordered so they substituted without approval from the patron. They refused to adjust the bill. We sincerely feel that because so many tour groups stay there, they really have no incentive to make you happy - what the heck, another group is coming right behind you. I would not recommend this hotel to my friends.

a little away from centre of city but the buses are nearby and are cheap and plentiful. Breakfasts are excellent,lots of choices. Dinner menu ok if you want to stay in, but there are a couple of very good restaurants within walking distance of the hotel(10 minutes). Rooms fine but only complaint no tea/coffee making facility. The staff were friendly and helpful,overall I enjoyed my stay there

This hotel is great – especially if you visit Rome during the hot summer months.

The hotel itself and the room are average without much charm. Great breakfast buffet.

But what really makes a different is the pool area. That is absolute great. We spend a week in Rome in July and enjoyed to combine the historical sight of Rome with some relaxing afternoons at the pool.

The location is a bit far out the city centre but if you don’t mind walking it’s only about 30 minutes walk from the centre. There is also good connection with the bus.
If you only visit Rome for a very few days I will prefer a hotel closer to the city. But in our situation it was great
