it is the first time i go to rome with my family. the location is good, near the the station, and reasonable price. that's why i chosen this hotel. v surprise to get the 'roma pass' if booking for 3 nights... very useful.
it is so good we can online by using the notebook which provided in hotel. :>
while we really don't like the staff in the dining room. blunt affect, poor service indeed....
'our culture= won't talk during breakfast time??' we really wonder

One would think that a one or two star hotel wouldn't be up to standard. I was quite apprehensive upon getting there. The lift was very small and quite ancient, and knowing it was quite cheap, I dreaded getting there.

I was to be proven wrong. The receptionists are really lovely, very helpful lot who do make an effort. Their smile is genuine, and their spirited love for the city would prove useful whenever we needed help with anything.

The linen was very, very clean, and there wasn't a single hygiene defect in the room. The sheets were crisp, the bed done really well, the bathroom facilities, although basic, were very efficient and the breakfast was quite satisfactory as well. The coffee machine didn't make the best coffee in the city, yet they had tea, freshly baked bread and pastries... They certainly don't cook bacon, sausages and poached eggs, yet that didn't bother me at all, since their smell early in the morning upsets me anyway.

I do however understand why there's a negative review. Venturing outside the hotel street, towards the East of the city one comes across dodgy looking people... people from every nationality trying to sell you fake watches and hand bags. I must say that they are quite annoying, but unfortunately you'll come across them in all parts of the city. The street where the hotel is situated however is very safe. There are dozens of hotels and restaurants so it's quite lively at night.

I think I might be back quite soon! Bottom line: delightful personnel, excellent hygiene, decent breakfast and a wonderful city. Highly recommended, but especially to those on a budget who are not looking for a hotel with amenities such as swimming pools, gym and so on.

We had booked a room at the Pensione Orlanda after a recommendation from a family member. Well the reception staff was very pleasant. Our room was very clean, and the linen and towels were intact. The breakfast was ok, toast came from a packet (pane tostato), there were cornetti (which were good) and bread (it was nice), yogurts, cereal, juice and coffee. I have to say the coffee wasn't very good.

We had also asked for a room not overlooking the street. There was no noise as the windows were double glazed (and I'm person who lives in a quiet area, so I'm not used to a lot of noises).

The furniture was good, nothing out of the ordinary. The room was pleasant enough. The checkout was a bit early, at 10 a.m. but at least we left our luggage at the hotel.

The area may not have the charm of other places, but it was ok. There are a lot of hotels and restaurants and I felt quite safe. Also the location was good regards transportation (2 min from Termini), the hub of the metro, trains and buses.

This was my 2nd time in Rome, and the 1st time I stayed at the Orlanda, and I can say that I would stay again. It was a great value for money.

This is a great hotel in the 2 star category. Clean, very friendly and perfect location. It has everything you need for comfortable and cheep stay in Rome. It is close to everything you need to see by foot or bus. The owner of the hotel Marco will go beyond to make your stay perfect.
