We were very disappointed with the Gabriella Hotel and I honestly feel that a number of the reviews either had a very different room then we had or the hotel has really dropped its standards. We were told that it was a three star hotel and I would barely give it a two. Our Room #20, was just down the hall from the reception area. When we opened the door we just about passed out from the heat. When we couldn't figure out how to turn on the air conditioner my husband went back to the receptionist who told him that the air conditioner didn't work in that room. He asked for a room where it did work and was told not to worry, the air conditioning wasn't turned on until June anyway. We opened the window onto a very noisy street. The room actually had a smell to it and I noticed mold in the bathroom around the shower and also around the window. I actually took pictures of the mold. The hallways have Air Freshener sprays and wicker oil scents to mask odors. The breakfast was included in the price and was mediocre. You are only allowed one tea or coffee but the servers were pleasant. The bed was not very comfortable but I couldn't sleep just because the heat was terrible in the room. The shower was the smallest I have ever been in and my ballet training came in very well when I dropped the soap and had to do a demi-plie to get it. I think the maid did her best to keep it clean but the ventilation caused the mold problems. The elevator is also very small but beats hauling your suitcase up to your room.. The Hotel is close to Rome Termini the main rail and Metro station. The area is a little seedy but adequate. We were very happy to check out and head to the airport where we found our plane was overbooked and we were then given a lovely room at the Hilton. I certainly would not recommend this hotel. Even in my back-packing youth, I wouldn't pay the money they asked for the poor room we received.

I chose the Hotel Gabriella based on price and proximity to Termini Station. It turned out to be a good choice.
The room was excellent with the bed being very comfortable.
The bathroom was clean and well-appointed.
Breakfast was very good with lots of selection.
The area near the hotel has very good restaurants, great little stores, and wonderful people at the Internet Cafes.
On some mornings, there is a delightful market set up just in front.

We stayed at Hotel Gabriella for 3 nights at the end of January!
Booked due to all the good reviews on this site!
We were not disappointed.
The room we had # 18 was spacious and very immaculate,warm in winter season,and the bathroom was updated and with a modern jacuzzi shower(we really loved after a long day of walking tours)fluffy towels changed daily.
The breakfast had more than enough to offer for us(fresh juice,cappuccino,rolls,croissants,cereals,ham,salami,cheese)
and the breakfast room was so lovely facing the nyce market just down the street.
The service was great,Bruna helped us a lot with suggestion of reaustaurants(try Armendo)and good shopping areas,nothing is too much for her,she even reserve a last minute tour of the Vatican for us,we were glad she did as we saw the long line we missed.Definitely a 5 star service at a 3 star price.
Will return as soon as we can!

This was the second Hotel we stayed at in Rome during our Italy holiday. It is in walking distance from the Termini, there are not hundred of stairs to go up. The staff are friendly and helpful, cheap internet use is available. The rooms were very clean and quiet. The breakfast was very good and the breakfast staff really friendly. Very good Hotel for the price and location, no complaints whatsoever.

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Gabriella. It was VERY easy to find using the map provided on the website. The neighborhood was safe and 2 minutes walking distance to Termini. Very good location I must say. We were warmly welcomed by ALL the staff. They were very kind and friendly with a very good English. The room was reasonably sized with a nice view. Toilet was also clean. We stayed for four nights at Hotel Gabriella. Breakfast was included in the price but due to our very early morning plans to see Rome, we only managed to have it in day 4. That's when I figured out how much we MISSED the first three days. It was really good. One thing which also worths mentioning here about this hotel is that they use high security measures I actually haven't seen in the rest of the hotels we stayed at during our trip. Which adds up a plus to Gabriella. I would surely come back again. Good job Hotel Gabriella.
