We did not even end up staying in the Planet 29 accommodation but in Della B&B across the road, even though I had booked this back in July with Planet 29. We asked where breakfast was served and was told repetitively that it was downstairs but we were unable to locate it so never got any breakfast during our stay. Also the staff were unhelpful and unfriendly and on two separate days we had no water at all in our rooms. We also had money stole from our room (over 100 euros) and then after that the room was not cleaned (we suspect that it was the cleaners that took it as they never came back after the money was taken). Therefore we had to use the same towels for 4 days as no new ones were delivered to the room. The cleaners also (before the money was taken) were constantly outside our rooms from 6 am in the morning until about midday and created so much noise that it was impossible to sleep when they were outside in the corridor cleaning the other two rooms that were in our corridor. We reported the theft of the money to Planet 29 and to be perfectly honest they did not seem surprised that money had gone missing but asked us if 'we were sure that it had been taken'!. They then tried to overcharge us by 15 euros and also another couple who were with us. In short I would never recommend this accommodation to anyone.

We stayed here for one night, and thankfully that's all it was. We booked it last minute so we didn't have a lot of choices, so lesson learned. The location is good - very close to Termini but the place was terrible. First, you have to walk up 4 flights of stairs (if it had been nice this wouldn't have been such a big deal), and second, the place was not the cleanest. The beds seemed clean but the shared bathroom smelled like urine and the shower looked as though it had never been cleaned. The breakfast was terrible - weird packages of tiny melba-type toasts with butter and watered down coffee. If you have other options available - take them!!

Based on the reviews held on this website I booked Planet 29 in Feb of this year for a holiday in May. I don't know what happened to the place between then and now but I would not recommend this place to anyone. After the first night we were asked to move rooms , and we obliged.... big mistake. the room we are in is about 8 ft x 8 ft. no decoration on the walls . These are scuff marked and have plaster gouged out of them. The bathroom has mould on the walls and if you shower the basin overflows. The showerhead does not work and sprays out at one point only. The rooms are kept clean by the staff and the bed made for you. For 60 quid per night I have had better and althoughy Rome is supposed to be pricey ( its not really compared to any other city ) I think the extra cost for a decent Hotel could be worth it. Walking around the city we have come across some well presented hotels which are reasonabley priced.

Quite simple conditions, but if you only need perfect cleanliness, a comfortable bed and helpful personnel (and really nothing more), you will be satisfied.
The rate was relatively fair by local standards, however it is less the decentness of the rate, but rather the excessiveness of the local average price that makes this rate appear fair.
