We recently stayed at the Hotel Parker for a week and found it catered for all of our needs. The rooms were cleaned everyday and unlike other travellers reviews we had full control of the air conditioning in our room. The hotel is in a good location with many places to eat in the surrounding area, although some may find the walk to some of the main tourist attractions a little long.
The only fault we could find is that some members of the staff can come across as being rude, possibly due to the limited understanding of English.
Overall, we feel this hotel is ideal for those on a smaller budget and although small, offered everything we needed for a great week in Rome.

arrived midday to find no help from staff. building work all around hotel including outside our room.half of stair cases had carpet removed making stairs dangerous.no air conditioning or facilites in room..was supposed to be triple share but was a small double with extra bed in ..no room to move .robe was unstable and unusable .shower area was dangerous and ill equiped shower head hanging off.floors slippery and dangerous.we being the older generation would expected more.no phone available..graffetee everyware streets outside filthy and rubbish and muck everywere lift in hotel was intermitant with use.
discusting never again will i think of rome as a pleasant city.

got back from rome last sunday, we stayed at the parker hotel, took us about 20 mins to walk from the termini train station, theres grafitti everywhere u go in this part of rome. staff are friendly, rooms cleaned everyday, nice but basic, sky tv but only 1 channel CNN. Rome is amazing, and this is a good location because termini is the main station and you can go everywhere without having to get off and change trains or tram.

When we made a booking, main thing was that the hotel has AIR CONDITIONING and Hotel Parker was supposed to have it (I assume that air conditioning means that it is available 24/7). Well, first night was quite okay, but after that air conditioning was working few hours at the time. Complaining didn´t help at all...I don´t know if they wanted to save some money, but it was staffs decision every time to turn off the air conditioning. For me it is the same thing as breaking our deal, I am expecting to have what is promised.
At least hotel should state on their web site that customer will have AC only once and a while. Also minibar was totally missing from the rooms.

For me as a frequent traveller this was the worst hotel I have ever stayed.
