Room was small but clean,quiet. Close to train station and 25 min walk to the Colisseum. Great shower but small with lots of hot water. Continental breakfast was excellent with lots to eat, clean and well kept. A couple nice restaurants within a couple blocks. We would return. Well worth the money.

Having read the reviews for the Hotel Parker, i was relatively sure that the hotel would be sufficient for a 3 star hotel.

To say the least, i was disappointed. First of all, the hotel is located approx 20 minutes walk from Termini station, not 10 minutes. There was no point in calling a taxi to pick us up from the hotel to the train station. To us, being close to public transport was important. The area in general was quite appalling, there was graffiti and a lot of rubbish around near the hotel. I actually felt scared walking to the hotel from the shops at times.

House keeping wasn't completed by 1pm. We went out for the morning to come back to our beds still un made. To my understanding there was only one girl who did all of the rooms. This hotel has 4 levels and about 5 rooms per level. When they were cleaned, it was ok.

The staff arent that helpful, there was one in particular. I'm sure it was the communication barrier but her overall attitude was not helpful or pleasent. She could not even help me when my wallet was stolen. She couldnt even tell me if there are any decent shops around the area. Couldnt even begin to help me with my phone card or telling me where i could have access to internet. Having been my first trip to Rome, i felt disorientated even having stayed at a hotel in the city - lucky i organised some tours.

If you are comfortable with walking a long distance to Termini station, having to travel out of your way to see things, then this should be ok as this "hotel" is not close to anything in particular in terms of monuments or attractions. I dont want people to think this is a 'hotel' because it definately didnt feel like it.

3 star hotel, ten minutes walk from the Termini, basic hotel but it was perfectly clean, the beds were a little hard altough i would have slept on a log after all the walking. It was very reasonably priced and we slept, showered and had breakfast there and were gone from morning to night so it was perfect for this. I would reccommend it for its cleanliness, the beds were made every day and we got new towels. The breakfast was the usual rolls, croissants, salamis and cheese and toast and you could have as much as you wanted. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. The area was very poor, being near the station there was a few homeless people late at night but we never had any trouble. It was handy to be near the station to get the metro, bus to airport etc. If i went again I would stay near the Trevi fountain/Spanish steps.

stayed at the hotel parker for 2 nights in nov 2008. the hotel is approx 10 mins walk from termini station which is very handy for the coach drop off/pick up from the airport. the hotel was clean and rooms were reasonably spacious. the tram line was directly outside our room and was quite noisy although this stopped at around eleven. breakfast in the hotel was average. the main drawback of the hotel is it's about 10 min walk from nearest metro station and there's very little nightlife in the direct vicinity. there was a restaurant 2 mins round the corner which reception recommended and this was very good and very reasonably priced. overall hotel was reasonable for what we paid, but we would probably try and stay somewhere more central in future.
