Me and my good friend spent two days at Hotel Donatello and had a wonderful experience! The hotel is close to the bus stop and metro and was comfortable and safe. What really set the experience apart was the wonderful and helpful staff! They went above and beyond their normal job duties. Thank you so much Mauro and Bernardo for taking the time to help us out with everything!

My wife and I, who are around 60, wanted a low price comfortable hotel near the centre of Rome. The Donatello more than provided this: the room was not large but was well appointed with safe, fridge, plenty of clothes storage, and very comfy firm bed. The bathroom was small but had excellent shower, bidet, and hair dryer, as well as normal fittings. The location is not noisy, and it is very convenient for buses. There are plenty of cheap eating places within a short walk. the breakfast area in the garden is delightful and the breakfast is standard continental, but very adequate. All of the staff are friendly, speak good English, and are very helpful. We would definitely use the hotel again when we return to Rome.

when I arrived to the hotel ,they told us they don't have any room for us, and took us to another hotel named "hotel bled", that hotel's room was small and wet.
So I'm not satisfied about Hotel Donatello, maybe I paid so cheap (63 euro per day),so they don't want us to live in? even we already paid before our arriving.

Stayed one night. Immediately impressed with welcome, owners very helpful and polite. Full of info about what to see and where to go and eat. Located 15 mins from both Termini and Colosseum, very safe area, unlike what was suggested by other traveller below who must have spent their time walking in the immediate locality of the train station. Anyway, all staff great, good breakfast in quality and quantity in beautiful courtyard. Great view from window (4th floor back of hotel). Secure safe etc. 24 hour porter. Good tram, bus, and metro service (5 mins walk to manzoni, on red line). Only negative is that shower is a bit small, but bathroom itself is fine. Very well priced. Defo recommend.

I was a little worried when my taxi pulled up to the hotel.....it looks nothing like the picture shown here. But it was a different story inside....lobby is very small, but my room was great! Spotlessy clean and very quiet. The decor was lovely and the bed was comfortable especially after my long train ride to Rome. The neighborhood looks run down but was really very safe.
The man at the desk recommended the Crazy Sheep restaurant to me too- and it was one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten in!! Large portions and very delicious!! A very sweet waitress was a joy to talk to!! I even went back the next night!
Everyone at the hotel and in the restaurant spoke English, so it was easy to ask questions and get answers. I walked to the Coloseum in 15 minutes, and passed several metro stations nearby. I would stay there again!
