We arrived at 1 15 am, nearly six hours late due to problems with flights from the UK, but the gentleman at reception was very helpful and we were in our room very quickly. The room was small, but the facilities were clean and comfortable. No view to speak of, only the windows of the building opposite, but we didn't spend too much time in the room anyway. Because of the difficulties with flights, etc, in the UK, we hadn't had an opportunity to confirm a Vatican tour starting at 7 00 am the next morning but, again, with the assistance of the hotel reception staff, we were picked up from the hotel. The hotel is only a 5-10 minute walk (depends if you have luggage to weigh you down) to the Termini, and the Santa Maria Maggiore is opposite the street where the hotel is. The breakfast was good, and the staff very attentive. We would certainly recommend this hotel as good, budget priced accommodation.

Never, have we been so disappointed in a hotel, and its services. The rooms smelled bad, were dirty, noisy and way too small for the price. Staff cold and unfriendly. The only good point were the breakfast and the proximity of Stazione Termini. You could do everything walking from the hotel, except Vatican City. Not recommendable for the price.

My husband and I booked a one night stay at Hotel Commodore for December 27th. We booked through Romeby.com and I received two confirmation emails. We booked back in July!

On December 21st (while in Rome at another hotel), I called Hotel Commodore directly to confirm our reservation for the night of the 27th.

The man I spoke to on December 21st said he had no record of our hotel reservation for that night under my name. He also left it as that without offering to help me find the reservation even after asking if he could look it up another way.

When I logged into my Romeby account after speaking to the gentleman, the Hotel Commodore reservation was still listed. So, I cancelled it. Luckily, the Rome hotel we were staying at for the first leg of our trip had a room available for us and were very helpful.

I regret to inform you that Hotel Commodore never answered my emails when I booked months ago. I received no communication, only a form email reservation confirmation, which apparently wasn't legit. I will not be recommending this hotel to anyone. Since we did not get to see or stay in the hotel, so I can't give it a "real" review.

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.
