We recently returned from a wonderful 3 week self drive holiday around Italy. My daughter booked all our hotels through recommendations on trip advisor, except for Hotel Internazionale(which was recommended by a family friend.) It was the worst experience we have ever had.Honestly we cannot understand how people are actually giving this place good reviews. Our pictures speak a thousand words. The rooms are filthy, stained carpets, water damaged walls, around 30 years worth of dust on the furniture and curtains. Paying 220 euro a night you would expect a moderate place, but seriously this place is the pits. The staff are useless. My husband had a fight with the staff as soon as we got there and demanded a room change. Our initial room was no bigger than a closet, and had no hot water(it took 30 minutes for the hot water to come through in a trickle enough for one person to have a very quick shower). They finally changed us to what they describe as their superior room. Judging by the photos i would hardly call it superior.It borders on backpacker budget. The breakfast is horrible. We contemplated changing hotels but it was our last stop before heading home and we were exhausted. However looking back now, we wished we had changed. There was a gorgeus little hotel around the corner called Hotel Homs, where we would have coffe every morning(and even breakfasts after experiencing the Internazionale's breakfast). We were only there 3 days and the waitress would recognise us and know exactly what we wanted at the Hotel Homs. It is miles ahead of the internationale, and we even enquired about the cost of the room and it would have only been 200 euro.
The bed was broken, we couldnt even move around without the thought that we may fall off.The only small positive is its location right at the top of the spanish steps. We have stayed at some fairly average hotels, but honestly this is by far the worst experience we have ever had.They really tarnish a very nice city. Do yourself a favour and stay away.
