The people who work at Ducale are very nice. Other than that my stay had a lot of problems. I got room 107, possibly the smallest hotel room I have ever been in which only fit a single bed a closet and a table. Not even enough room for a chair. The window was blocked by the cabinet and it was very claustrophobic. I was unhappy at the thought of staying in that room for the four nights I had booked.

At night the area is not so great. Street lighting is not good and there are many men out drinking on doorsteps. To get to the (only) closest restaurant is a five minute walk and the subway is beyond that. Otherwise there is no other street activity. I was followed home by a an Italian man who was a little too friendly.

Since I was unhappy I checked out early. This was not much of a problem and I was treated with respect, but unfortunatley when I got home I found that they had charged my card over 800 eu (by mistake ?!) in addition to the room charge. I am still clearing this up with my credit card company.

I wish I could have given this place a better review since the people who worked there were very nice and accomodating, but it just didn't work out and I would not recommend it to any single person for fear they would get room 107 and definitely not for single women. The neighborhood is just too desolate. Finally how can you make an 800 euro mistake?

clean and excellent value for money. breakfast was a bit monotonous with toast and a sweet croissant on offer every day.
Area around was covered in graffitti and it was a little disconcerting stepping over drunks in the street. however it was only a 15 minute walk to the colloseum and about 45 minute walk to the vatican. Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful which was a relief compared to the often surly and unhelpful attitude in the more tourist orientated areas.
There was an excellent restaurant nearby Taverna St Anna. The food was fantastic and very good value for money. three course meal for two and all the wine you could drink for 67 euros. All in all it was an excellent base to explore Rome from.

  • Liked — clean and comfortable
  • Disliked — the noise from outside and the grafitti and dirt

The owner was very rude. A forigner receptionist wanted to make me pay for my room twice, giving me hard time. The room is terrible: 2 mX 1 m...just unbelievable. I hated to go back to my room every night. The breakfast was so funny .... not enough for a 5-years-old child.

We - 3 Persons - have been 3 nights sept. 30. to oct. 3. at hote ducale, rome - statione termini -. This is the 2nd house of hotel ducale.
This hotel is only on a 5th floor direkly opposite from statione termine and it can be reached from airport by shuttle to statione termini very easily.
It has only a few rooms and a small reception together with the breakfast area, but o.k.
Staff is friendly an speak well english. Roms are o.k., big enough and clean. Breakfast o.k. If you pay cash anstead credit card then you receive 5 % discount on prices which agreed. So far a good hotel for a short stay.
