We have recently returned from a long weekend in Rome, staying at the Hotel Commodore. I agree with most of the posts on here. It's in a great location, just a short walk from the train station, and a 10-15 min walk into the ancient part of Rome, past lots of gelato bars and restaurants! We felt very safe and happily wandered around the area at night. Our room and ensuite were a good size (also I thought our shower was normal size, not tiny at all) and very clean. The service we received was excellent and very friendly and the staff always said hello and smiled and made us feel welcome. Breakfast was ok, not a huge selection and mostly continental, but certainly sufficient. We had a late evening flight back and the staff looked after our bags for us all day. They also mentioned they have a room available for freshening up in, if we needed to when we picked our bags up, but we didnt take avantage of that (running for the plane...). Overall I would recommend it if you are looking for a well priced hotel in a good location.

I just got back from a long weekend in Rome. Hotel Commodore is in a great location. Abt 5 minutes walk from Termini. In a safe location. Didn't feel unsafe walking back in the last evenings. Alot of places to eat and shop near by on Via Nationale, etc.
The room we got was large, and clean. Toilet very clean. But the shower was tiny! No frills.
Enjoyable stay. Hotel receptionist in the night shift was very friendly. Gave a brief description of the area, went through the Rome map, etc.
Breakfast was average. Continental.
All in all, hotel was good, but it's definitely got a 4*. I would say 3*.

I've just returned from the Hotel Commodore in Rome where we spent the bank holiday weekend and the only way that this hotel got it's four stars is if it was reviewed in the seventies. We booked this hotel on recommendations from this site but I would warn anyone who is looking to stay there that it is most definitely a low three star hotel.

When we arrived on Friday afternoon, the 'receptionist' grunted at us for our passports and then took our reservation. We were then shown to our room which had no working air conditioning and the carpets had visible stains. It also turned out to be very noisy at night-time. We were told what time breakfast was at and that was it.

After we settled in we went downstairs again to ask about getting an iron and a kettle for the room. We were told that there was no iron but an ironing service - at a cost, and there was no kettle in the room due to health and safety and when I enquired about getting some hot water brought to the room for medicinal purposes I was told that they could not provide this as the bar facilties had closed two months ago!

When we were checking out another 'Receptionist' grunted at us 'Minibar??' to which I presumed she meant had we taken anything from it. When I told her what we took she just worked on her pc and gave me the invoice. There was no smile or thank you when we paid and left.

The only saving grace for this hotel is the fact that it is very central to all locations and the train station, and the night porter is one of the most cheeriest and helpful people I have met.

You may think that I am being overly critical but I work in the service industry and this is not the way to run a hotel. I would advise against staying here unless you have no other option.

Having read the other reviews of this hotel we decided to go for it. Location 10min from Termini and good spot to start travelling from. Clean hotel, staff could do with smiling a liitle and could be more helpful. Room small (esp bathroom) but most importantly clean. Would I stay there again, yes if I couldn't afford some of the more pricy but nicer hotels.
