“Wouldn't return - Rotten breakfast, Rude Staff.”

LOCATION: Good location, handy for metro. Next to Italian Interior Ministry, so felt very safe at night as lots of police patrolling. Lots of restaurants around. Be careful cashing travellers cheques - very high commission charged (up to 17%). There is an American Express office next to the Spanish Steps which will change them for no commission.

ROOM: Room was pretty clean, but was dusty under beds. Bathroom was clean and recently installed. The decor was pretty tired - wallpaper torn, carpets could've done with a good clean.

STAFF: The night time staff were very friendly and helpful, whereas the day time staff were the opposite. In particular, Salvatore was extremely rude. We complained about the breakfast (see below) but he refused to take us seriously. Treated us very rudely and began to ignore us, refusing to speak to us - not very professional at all!

BREAKFAST- Absolutely dusgusting! On the first morning, we went down to breakfast (just after 10am - it was open until 10.30 on sunday). The staff were beginning to pack away breakfast although we were told it was open for another 30 mins. The food was off. There was a bowl of kiwi fruit which was rotten (it had big black marks in it and was mushy) and literally crawling with flies (about a dozen). I decided to give this a miss but my girlfriend had a bowl of cereal - the milk was sour and very hot - it was obviously milk from during the week which hadn't been refrigerated properly. As mentioned before, complaint not taken seriously. Had to buy breakfast outside the hotel every day.

  • Liked — Good Location. Helpful nighttime staff.
  • Disliked — Room could've been cleaner. Horrible breakfast. rude daytime staff

Why does a hotel company advertise amenities in its hotel when they don't exist.
I booked this hotel particularly because it advertised a Roof Terrace + Bar to relax after days sightseeing.There is niether !!!.
When i asked reception where bar was i was told rather abruptly
there is NO bar + there never has been one.
The terrace is outside breakfast room surrounded by 8 fot high wall (i call it a yard).
This was a 140 euro a night B + B down a back street.
I would not dream of staying here again.

We stayed at the Viminale the first week in October 2007. It was our first time in Rome. The staff were all very helpful with directions and setting up travel arrangements for tours. The breakfast was adequate and the coffee the best we've had in a long time which is quite a compliment since we're from Seattle. The location is excellent. A comfortable walking distance to the Colosseum, Trevi and main bus station. Our room had a balcony with a nice view. The bathroom tub was a little smaller than what we were used to but very deep. The bed was comfortable and the room kept clean. I would definately stay there again.

Good position for visiting "Old Rome".
Bed linen and towels very clean. Staff friendliness and breakfast acceptable.
The room was a good size if a little tired.
Hotel was let down by the bathroom which was very shabby (but clean).

found the hotel clean and well kept, lift worked all the time. staff very friendly and helpful. our room had good comfortable twin beds and full working shower. room was clean. we were lucky our room was adjacent to one of the roof balconeys. on arrival had problem with door locking, reported to the desk and workman attended very quickly and solved problem. we stayed 4 nights, although the breakfast was average, there was a lot of it. next time im in rome will be staying there.
