This place isn't a hotel in the normal sense of the word. The owner has merely leased some rooms on the second floor of a large apartment block, thus there is no lobby/reception area or bar/dining room. 3 of us arrived having booked a double and a single room for 2 nights at 80 euros per room per night. The girl told us that she has 'misread' our reservation and thought that we only required one room. I'm sure she reads dozens of these reservation forms a week, so her inability to read something in plain black and white was not particularly believable. We were then made to wait in a corridor for half an hour without being told what was going on. Finally. a spare bed was put into a double room and we were told we would have to share (our group being a couple and a single man). We were offered 20 euros per night refund. When we pointed out that we were effectively paying 140 euros a night for a triple room and asked what the true price of a triple was, she got on the phone and offered us 40 euros per night refund, thus the room was costing us 120 euros per night. When I got home a few days later, I investigated the cost of a triple room and found it was 105 euros, so we were ripped off on our refund, although not as much as we might have been. Our arrival had been delayed by taking the hotel website map too literally. This consists of a detailed street plan showing the precise location of the hotel... except that there is an office block at the position indicated. The hotel is a few hundred metres away, off the top of the map! In the morning, the breakfast arrived on a tray - a meagre offering of a croissant, a cup of tea and a glass of fruit juice. Don't expect to go for an evening stroll, taking in local bars and restaurants - there aren't any. Your best bet is a stroll under the concrete flyover to take the Metro into town at Tiburtina station. In fact, the proximity to the Metro is about the only thing that this place has in its favour. Find somewhere else.

The personnel was very friendly and helpful,due to some problems with the bathroom they arranged another hotel for me.
They even brought us to that hotel by car.

We had a very clean and simple double room with private bath. The hotel's 2 mins walk from the Tibertina metro, which takes u to Coloseum in 10 mins, or a little longer to Spanish Steps with a change at Termini. To find Vesta, just turn right at the McDonalds exit and walk along the street a few hundred metres past the API gas station. The hotel overlooks a flyover so there's plenty of traffic noise. We were in rome in october so it was ok to close window at night but could be problematic in high summer. The area's grotty but seems safe enough and becomes more residential as u move away from the metro/rail station. When u arrive just buzz on Vesta on the door entrance and when someone answers, give the door a good push! Otherwise, the apartment building is real busy with residents coming and going, so u should get in soon enough. Bring your own towel and soap, weren't provided. All in all, for EUR 44, Vesta is possibly the cheapest deal in Rome. You'll pay twice the price in the centre for similar accomm, so if you're on a budget, don't hesitate to stay there. Just don't expect the Ritz!

Having comfortably booked a double room in Vesta Residence through the internet before leaving on holidays, and being promised a place in the centre of Rome, we were quite surprised that the hotel was located in an uncheerful suburb next to a noisy highway. Having arrived at the indicated housenumber, there was no trace to be seen from a hotel. Thinking we got ripped-off (having been obliged to make an advance payment), a nice neighbour informed us there actually was a hotel and he helped us getting in (without that I don't know if we would have). A non-english speaking and quite rude girl made a fuss over our internetreservations, which appeared to have never got through. The girl disappeared for a considerable time and finally got back and grumpily said it was ok after all. We had to pay the rest of the money right away, and she showed us our room. The room was fine, simply furnished with ikea-stuff. But as one opened the window, one got almost blown away by the noise of the highway underneath the window. Sleeping was therefore difficult; with the Roman summer heat there is no way you sleep with the window shut. The strangest thing was that our key to the frontdoor didn't work. We asked for another one, and were being treated as if we asked for some extraordinarily big favor. In the end we got one.
Our conclusion about the hostel so far was very negative already, through the behaviour of the staff, the malfunctioning key, the noise and the location.
To finish it up we probably lost some of our clothes and a small backpack in here. Though we are not completely certain, we think they might have been stolen here. For as we checked out, we double-checked the room and there was nothing to be found. Then, when only afterwards we discovered the loss, we've send email and made telephone calls to the Vesta Residence. No answer so far...
Certainly a no-go place!!!
