Hotel Altavilla... well the location was fantastic- a short walk down the hill and you are near to everything you could want to see in Rome. Other than that, it was not great.

When I booked the hotel, I was under the impression that it was a 3* hotel and that it had an internet connection.

I booked a twin room for my brother and I, the beds were less than 1 foot apart and the room reeked of cigarette smoke. The bathroom was quite interesting, the door wouldn't lock properly and the shower leaked over the floor. The 3/4 bath was quite amusing!

Breakfast was not a high point, we went for breakfast once. Breakfast was very basic, yet there are lots of places to eat nearby.

Our room looked out onto a courtyard where renovation works were taking place, thankfully we weren't in our room much otherwise the noise could have been quite bad.

I wouldn't stay at Hotel Altavilla again, it's not the worst hotel in Rome- but it was cheap.

I don't understand from the previous reviews if perhaps there are some old rooms that haven't been renovated, but I found none of the problems listed below. It is a city centre 2 star hotel next to Termini so don't expect marble bathrooms or champagne in your room, but you get a good deal for what you pay for here. The accommodation was clean and bright and the rates on offer were excellent. We ended up staying for two nights more that the initial arrival date becuse every other hotel seemed more expensive and all you need a room for in Rome is sleeping and showering. Can't complain at the budget accommodation on offer, and save your money to spend on the myriad of things to do, eat or buy in the city.

Dreadful hotel - nothing like photos on their website. Stayed here for 1 night and it was 1 too many. Room dirty, smelly, noisy. Shower didn't work. Bed was old and uncomfortable. DO NOT stay here. I am not that fussy, honest, but this place is awful.

Dont stay here, worse place ever!!!
Rooms so small, lights went out and we flew out of the window!
View was of a concrete quadrant of the other hotel rooms. Bathroom was the smallest I have ever seen and be warned the hotel website pictures must have been taken from another hotel as there were 6 of us in three seprate rooms and none of them resembled the pictures from the hotel website!!!
Dont bother with breakfast unless you want a jam roll and a cup of tea or coffee.
Worse hotel ever!!!
