I usually rely on this site for excellent opinions so am a bit hesitant to post the first review for this hotel. The venere web site reviews were all excellent so I gave it go! Maybe my friend and I were unfortunate as there was a disagreement about the price of the room so I will try not to let that influence my review. The room cost 130 Euros which was very overpriced compared to the excellent quality of accomodation I have experienced elsewhere. It was small, musty and cold because the heating had been turned off even though it was still only early march. The bed was a camp bed style on metal frame. Breakfast was not even included (10 euros) so we went to a bar around the corner. The welcoming commitee were very difficult to comprehend (talking to them in Italian as I live here in Italy and they speak no English) and were very off putting as their shouting conversation was very clear through the walls. My friend and I carried our suit cases around Rome for the rest of the day rather than ask to leave them and have to go back. Could not wait to leave the hotel.
