My party of five ranging in age from 11 to 84 were in Rome for a four night break to take in all the sights, and the hotel was in a great location for us to walk comfortably to the Colosseum (about 1 mile I should say), Forum,Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps. The only way to really see Rome is on foot afterall. The Bus Station was a block away and there were regular buses to St Peters and the Vatican City for 1 Euro.

The Hotel Igea was more than adequate for our needs. On first sight the room seemed a little old fashioned and gloomy,but we did not intend to spend a lot of time there. It was clean, the bed linen was crisp, the towels were changed daily and there was hot water whenever we needed it. It was a little noisy at night with people talking in the street as opposed to traffic noise.The breakfast consisted of freshly baked rolls (which I have to say were a little on the hard side) pre wrapped french toast type slices, soft cheeses and preserves. There was orange juice, tea and coffee and plenty of it. The man that ran the Breakfast Room when we were there seemed a bit grumpy but my 84 year old step father who speaks Italian (remnants of his Second World War service) managed to bring him round and he is not as scary as he seems, just really busy!

The Hotel does not have a bar which is a shame as after a long day of sightseeing it would have been nice to have relaxed in the lounge with a cold beer or glass of wine. There are places to eat in the vicinity and our favourite was the "Trattoria Cecio" opposite the Igea. It is family run and was packed every night with locals (always a good sign) as well as tourists.

  • Liked — Convenient location to the historic sights
  • Disliked — Had a lift, but you still had to go up or downstairs to your room as it only stopped between floors

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in April/May 2005. It was friendly, clean and very central. It had everything we wanted and was a few minutes walk from central station. Our room was on the top floor (6th floor) at the back and looked out onto a central (and very interesting) courtyard. It was large, airy, ensuite with double bed and had more than adequate space for our luggage. There was fresh linen every day. It had a lift and breakfast room. Breakfast was great. I have coeliac and it was no problem for staff to provide a gluten free breakfast for me.Whilst in Rome no-one spends much time in their hotel as there is too much to see and do. Rates were very reasonable. Don't pay for expensive hotels in Rome as you won't spend any time in them . Rome is a wonderful city and this hotel was more than adequate.

Stayed in the Hotel Igea in September 2005 and found it to be very nice. Manuela made the stay very pleasant.

Thanks!

I stayed in the hotel for almost 2 weeks las summer. Manuela, the owner's daughter wasvery courteous with my family. Romualdo (the guy who served breakfast) was serious but after 2 day was smiling ( I dont kno if this is his real name. The neighborhood is ok like any other big city. I would dstay again there, Manuela made the difference.

We arrived in Rome with a reservation at another hotel that was so bad, we decided not to stay there, and on top of that it was New Years Eve, so almost everything was booked. We headed to the train station area because there were so many hotels there. The rooms really do look like dorm rooms. The maids entered our room twice without even knocking. The walls are so thin we heard the man in the room next door snoring all night. The good thing about this hotel is that it encourages you to spend as little time as possbile in your room, and another benefit is that there are a lot of prositutes on the street outside. My advice: when in Rome, don't stay near the train station, and if you have to, don't stay at this hotel.
