I enjoyed my stay here. The room was clean and spacious.

The room was awesome and they have free internet in the lobby.

The staff at the front desk were very helpful.

My husband and I stayed at the Abitart for 3 nights and had a very good experience. Front desk staff (3 different people) were all very friendly: highlighted maps for us, detailed bus routes, and recommended a local restaurant.

Room was clean, beds comfortable and enough space for us to relax. We booked through a travel agent who requested a quieter side of the building, so no problem with noise. And, no problem with booking not being honoured. Free internet in the lobby was a nice extra.

The location was fine for us ... #60 bus took us directly to the Coliseum and other tourist attractions. We did not use taxis and were able to walk from the Coliseum to Spanish Steps etc.

Breakfast was simple, but exactly what we like ... good strong coffee, cereal, yogurt and dolce.

The Ostiense train station is the closest when coming from Rome airport. When you exit the train station, head to the left and go down the street (bit of sloping street going down and I don't know the name). At the bottom of the street, turn left and go under the overpass. At the next light you will see the Abitart across the street and a bit to your left. Not hard to find.

Enzo's is a restaurant close by that had very good local cuisine. Doesn't open until around 8pm, but well worth the wait.

We would stay here again and would recommend it to other travellers.

This is a four star hotel suited towards business travellers. The beds were very comfortable, the rooms were large, and it had all the amenities such as chocolates at night, nice shampoo, etc. The shower was really excellent.

Breakfast is a buffet offering a large assortment of cereals, yogurt, fruit, pastries, juices, and scrambled eggs large sun room. It was all very nice.

We found the staff to be reasonably friendly and had a pleasant stay at this hotel. Others in our party found the staff rude and the hotel not up to the standards of a 4 star.

Having to open the windows meant the rooms were noisy at night, and they were on the hot side, but this was the only negative we experienced. It was a short walk to the bus stop, but the subway was further. We found the buses were a very convenient way to travel around the city. Buy your bus pass at the tobacconist around the corner from the hotel. There's a grocery store next door to the hotel - a convenient place to buy wine or bread and cheese for a picnic lunch.

I wouldn't stay here if I had a choice, simply because of the price, but overall it was very adequate.

The interior design was certainly different but appreciations of 'art' vary...

Positives:
Good shower, pretty clean place.
Negatives:
The soulless reception/bar area was matched by the staff who were almost uniformly disinterested and unfriendly. The breakfast was distinctly average (they must have looked hard to find such bad coffee in a place like Italy) and lots of items 'out of stock' for later risers. The location is not where portrayed - it is some way from the main attractions by metro/cab and located on a busy road in a pretty seedy area. Rooms on the small side, overheated and not well sound-insulated from neighbouring rooms. Avoid rooms at the front - very noisy. 50 Euro deposit required to use the room safe.

All in all, I was just glad that my firm was paying not me. Pretty grim and I certainly wouldn't stay there at my own cost/for pleasure.
