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).

This was my first trip ever to Europe. Thankfully I had read a lot of hotel reviews so nothing surprised me about how small the rooms were in Italy. Hotel Argentina was no exception. The bathroom was actually larger than I had imagined but the shower was dark. Since our room window faced into a narrow courtyard, the room was dark. The beds were comfortable and we had easy access to the air conditioning. The breakfast room was tiny but adequate. The buffet selection was very limited but was fine for our needs. Mohad was our favorite receptionist. Always smiling and cheerful. Thankfully this was the first 4 days of a 14 day trip b/c climbing the 5 flights of stairs to our room was exhausting. Yes there was a "lift" but it was tiny and very slow. We only used it for transporting our luggage. For the price and convenience I would stay here again.

We stayed at the Argentina Hotel in March for 3 days - two rooms for a family of four. My parent's room was updated and remodeled, but the room my sister and I stayed in was not. It was a very simple, no frills room. It was clean, but the towels were terrible - paper thin and one day when I opened my towel, there was a huge whole in the middle.

Our room was on the street and was very noisy. Also, even though there was a door at the end of the hallway before entering the breakfast room, it was extremely noisy early in the morning from the people getting breakfast. Speaking of the breakfast - it was not very good. They did not even serve fresh coffee - it came from a machine.

The staff was friendly. The location was good if you want to take a metro to the center. You can walk to the center also, but you might as well find a hotel in the center if you want to do that. We stayed at this hotel because it was close to the train station and to a metro stop, so it served that purpose for us.

In summary, the hotel was average. It was clean and inexpensive. If you are traveling on a budget, it is not a terrible place to stay, but don't expect much.

  • Liked — The location and the price.
  • Disliked — Noisy and terrible towels.

We satyed in the Hotel Argentina for 3 nights, and had a very nice stay. The hotel is situated right by the Termini Station (2-3 minutes walk, if you come from Fiumiccino you should take the leonardo Express, it's the best way), in a main and busy street but the hotel is quiet.

We only saw receptionists, and they all were very nice. Our room was very comfortable and the shower was renewed so it was very fresh.

As others have said here, when walking on Via Cavour look at all the hotel signs, and you'll find this hotel right by a very nice restaurant, Tudini. Take the (tiny) elevator to the 4th floor and you'll find the reception desk there.

If you're looking for a very central hotel, then you should consider hotels in the Spanish Steps area, but do know that Argentina is only 15 minutes walk from Plaza Espagana and the Spanish Steps. It's also very close the the Historical center and we walked everywhere.

Have Fun!

Hotel is very close to Central Train Station. Finding it may be a little bit tricky as it shares the building with a couple of other hotels. Service is ok. Room is clean. There really isn't much negatives about this hotel, and overall it is a very good choice for travellers on a budget.
