We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights, and I have to say the only thing it has going for it is the location. The hotel itself is shabby, needs a total gutting and rehab. A few things: Shower completely lost power while hair was lathered with soap, finally got it to dribble a bit. It must have been shower rush hour which should not happen. The hair dryer is useless. Room is not very clean, beds are worn to a fray. Pillows are like flat rocks. Paint is chipped and dirty. Wallpaper is torn. I would not go near the extra blanket in the closet. Girl at the front desk was rude, period.

My wife and I stayed here last month. We've traveled a fair bit in Europe and are accustomed to European accommodations. This one is sub-par - black mold in the shower, beds that were worn out and walls so thin you could hear anything and everything going on in the hotel (including the sexual exploits of the couple down the hall).

I'm pretty forgiving and don't expect a lot from the employees of my hotels, but one thing I do not tolerate is rudeness. The person occupying this position until 7pm (19:00) Sunday May 3rd (female, dark skin, late 20's) was one of the worst wretches I've encountered on my visits to Europe. Wasn't occupying her post at the front desk, causing 4 couples to have to wait 20 minutes outside to get in.

She rudely replied to a simple question I had about the hotel and then had the audacity to mock my attempt to communicate with her in French (after her poor English skills couldn't get the job done). Despite being nearly fluent in the language, my choice of words must not have communicated 100% clearly my question - so mocking my attempt is clearly the right thing to do in a client service position?

There's plenty more I could share about this place - but do you really need to hear it?
The hotel Pantheon has a much better location, is roughly the same cost and looks a lot nicer.

Management response from Plinio Chini, owner-manager
(Management representative)
May 25, 2009
Dear Sir
My name is Plinio chini, the owner and manager of this hotel

Sorry i don’t know your name, at least the room number you slept because i have checked all the 23 rooms of my hotel and there was no trace of black mold.

I’m very surprise about the complains you’ve made regarding the employee that was on duty that day ( sunday May 3rd) because most of the clients report her kindness ( as can be read on other Tripadvisor reviews ). I’m sorry she wasn’t able to satisfy you but I have talked to her.
FOR US CUSTOMERS SATISFACTION COMES FIRST

I’m also very disappointed of your suggestion of another hotel because that is not politically correct
Altough you weren’t satisfied with us there was no need to mention another name


I do invite all our guests to express any kind of discomfort during their stay in our hotel to give us a possibility to find a solution

Stayed with my family last week. This is an excellent value for money hotel, near TREVI FOUNTAIN and the VATICAN. The reception staff could not have been more helpfull and really went out of their way to be of assistance, arrangeing taxis, giving advice ect
They even went to the Vatican to collect tickets for our group prior to our arrival as we would get in to late to collect them ourselves.
One of our group has limited mobility and was looked after very well indeed

Even before we left for Italy, we had a good feeling about the Parlamento and our feelings were only confirmed when we arrived. Before our trip we communicated occasionally with the Parlamento staff via e-mail regarding transportation options to the other cities we were visiting, arrangements to see a soccer match, and confirming our room. We also used the Parlamento's airport transportation service for 55 EURO. Not so bad when a cab from the airport would be 50 EURO.

From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were treasured guests in someone's house. While the Parlamento is certainly not the most glamorous hotel that you will ever find, you feel welcome every minute that you are there. Tiziano goes out of his way to help you in any way that he can, from showing you how to walk to a certain destination to offering you a cup of juice when you arrive after a long flight to guiding you to your room to offering expert advice on how to avoid lines at tourist attractions. He was the all-star of the hotel crew. Angelica and Roberto are also friendly, welcoming, and eager to assist.

Location - SPECTACULAR. The only place in all of Rome that we took public transportation to was the Vatican. 5-10 minute walk to Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon. 10-20 minute walk to the Colloseum and the Forum, Piazza Navona, the Jewish Quarter, Piazza del Popolo, and Campo de Fiori. 3 blocks away from Via de Convertite, home of the best shopping in all of Rome.

Rooms - Ample. The only two complaints I'd have was that we could not get the in-room television to work, even with the intervention of Angelica (not the worst thing that can happen on a vacation) and the room suffered from a lack of cabinet space for clothes which we would have liked to unpack a little bit more. Still, a comfortable bed, a quiet room, as requested, and really, it's just a place to take a late afternoon nap and sleep at night.

Other features - Breakfast was more than sufficient... grapefruit and orange juice, espresso, american coffee, or cappucino, a variety of cereals, and a variety of cold breads with different spreads. Trust me, you don't want a huge and heavy hot breakfast before a long day of walking. The rooftop garden was a superb way to take an afternoon off from sightseeing... bask in the warm Italian sun, listen to the sounds of Rome, read a book, and sip from a bottle of Chianti.

Bottom line is this - when my wife and I go back to Rome, we can't wait to visit our friends at the Parlamento again. And we would recommend this hotel to anybody who we ever speak to who plans a visit to Rome.

A cozy, quaint, and quiet bed and breakfast so conveniently located, smack in between all of Rome's attractions. Perfect for families and singles alike. Sip on a bottle of wine at dusk while enjoying the spectacular rooftop as the adjacent campanello (bell tower) softly sings. The knowledgeable and attentive staff is the kindest, most charming and 24 hours. If you are party of two, request room 90.
