“Great Location, average hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 18, 2009

We stayed in this hotel for two nights and chose it based on the excellent reviews regarding it's location. We did not intend spending much time in the rooms and so comfort was not high on the agenda. If this is what you are looking for, the hotel is functional and adequate. The service was ok, room was dated with spotless clean shower room. Ours was a triple room with hard double bed and very soft camp bed. An old functional TV finished off the room. I'm not sure where the air conditioning was but I am sure there was a button somewhere.
The hotel itself is on the 4th floor of an old but well maintained building which is within easy walking distance of Termini station. A very old lift which almost takes two persons and two cases will take you to the fourth floor.
The express train from Fiumicino airport travels to and from Termini every 30 minutes which is very handy. Termini can also be used as a base to explore Rome city by Tour Bus.
Breakfast is a typical continental one, nothing special, juice, coffee and the usual.
Overall the hotel was adequate for our needs. As this was my first visit to Rome I would find it difficult to compare it for value. One thing to note is that there are a couple of other hotels in Rome with Argentina in the title so don't get confused like we did. As for recommending this hotel, it depends what you are looking for. For a short stay, spending minimum time at the hotel, it's ok.

“Preis/LEistung ok”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 12, 2009

If you do not request high quality and you are satisfied without any fresh coffee in the morning and hard rolls - you are right! Clean room, noisy street , centrally located. for that price ok. wish for more comfort --than you are recommended to book elsewhere.
Have a nice stay

“One star Hostel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed February 22, 2009
1
person found this review helpful

I just came back a week ago from Rome, Italy and I've stayed at Argentina Hotel, near Termini Station.The reason I chose this hotel was the location, 300 m away from Termini station and close to Colloseum, and because it looked nice, decent, clean hotel. Big mistake ! This so called hotel (better say hostel) it's located in a building together with 2 other hotels, at the 4th floor. On the building its written :'Hotels' and if you aren't carefull enough you might miss it.The real problem was the room itself, as it was really very small and the bath was awful. You can't sleep as you can hear everything from the reception or other rooms, I even heard my tv sound (and it wasn't loud volume) on my way to the room.The breakfast was simple,nothing to say, but they were putting on the table 2 or 3 times per morning 4 thin slices of ham and cheese while ppl were eating .
I wouldn't have written this review if they had a honest site. In a few words, I wouldn't go there again!

“Great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 8, 2008

First timers to Rome we were very pleased with this quaint hotel on the fourth floor. Upon arrival the front desk gentleman was extremely helpful. Told us the ins and outs of Rome. The room was basic for Europe and it was clean. If you are going to Rome to stay in your room this isnt the place for you. If you need a clean bed and bath then I highly recommend this hotel.

“Nightmare hotel and staff”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2008
7
people found this review helpful

I believe I had an exceptionally bad experience staying at this hotel. As a first time traveller to Rome, I did not know what to expect but this is what I found in Room 110:

1. Faulty cable connecting the tv to aerial (gave me an electrical shock when I tried to connect the cable after it fell out of place)
2. Exposed electrical socket on the headboard (a plastic or metal cover was missing because other sockets had them)
3. black mildew on silicone around shower tray
4. cold room (am just recovering from a 102F fever)
5. cockroach
6. staff threatened me with the following actions
a) I must pay for the entire stay when I tried to leave the same day I checked in after I found the heating to be not working.
b) Quoting a male member of staff "I have put a note with the Police and I have called the Emabassy, it is very dangerous, so becareful"
c) Forcefully charged my credit card for the entire stay because they turned down the option of me paying cash for what I saw was reasonable (one night out of the reserved two nights)

If TripAdvisor Staff is reading this, I plead that you revisit the rating which you have given this hotel - 3.5 stars. I trusted your professional rating however Room 110 did not meet the standards. Perhaps the staff decided to give me the worst room in the hotel because I was a young looking female traveller who also had her teenage sister with her.

There is so much more to tell other readers. If I had to do it all over again, I would keep the camera rolling whilst all this was happening and snapped a picture of that cockroach.

We felt so disgusted and did not want to remember Rome as the nightmare hotel experience, we checked out at 6pm and checked in at a TRUE 4 star hotel way across town (knowing I would never get my money back from Hotel Argentina).
