We recently had a lovely weekend in Rome to celebrate my wife's 50th birthday. Just before leaving for the airport to return home we had a quick lunch at a restaurant near the Termini. When we arrived at the airport we discovered we had left our camera with the precious pictures of our stay at the restaurant. With no time to return to get it and without any idea of the name of the restaurant we flew home resigned to having lost the camera and, more importantly, the photos of a memorable stay.

In desperation I sent emails to the hotels I could identify in the area, with a brief description of the restaurant. I even sent one to the main tourist information centre in Rome.

Incredibly Raymond at Hotel Luciani recognised the description, contacted the restaurant owner for us to confirm they still had the camera and emailed back. He got the camera and stored it safely at the hotel for us. None of the other hotels even bothered to email us back to say that they couldn't help.

It nice to think that these days someone would take the time and effort to help a complete stranger and we will always be grateful.

When we book the room with email, they mentioned there will be air-con service(but didn't mention that it needs extra $).

After we arrived, they said that air con is an extra service which need extra payment for Euro 5 for each person per day! It' s not really a lot of money but it's DISHONEST! It's too hot in August and finally we paid for it even we don't want to.

All other services are OK!

We regret to oppose this review for accusing the hotel of dishonesty. During the low season of summer, we normally give special promotion prices in the agencies we work with, and specially in our own website from 10 - 20 percent discount in the room rate but we specify that the air condition is not included and costs 10 Euro extra per day and not 5 Euro per person as stated. It can only apply if you stayed in a double room for 2 person, but if you are in a triple or quadruple room, the 5 Euro per person will never apply because it will be either 15 or 20 Euro per day. We only charge 10 Euro a day regardless of the room type.
However, we appreciate the comment stated on the last line that all other services are satisfactory.

My Husband and i had a really bad time during our stay at this hotel, Firstly on arrival to check in, the reception staff was looking at guns on the computer, not a nice welcoming,
Our room was clean and very basic, the bed was extemelly hard, and the tv control didnt work, The washroom was a nightmare, the shower if you could call it a shower didnt have warm running water, and when flushing the toilet the pipes would make a horrific noise that lasted so long, everyone would have heard it in the building,
We stayed for 2 nights and didnt get much sleep due to very noisy neighbours, and street life banging throughout the night and noise noise noise....
even throughout the daytime going back to the hotel room for a rest was impossible due to construction work next door it sounded like our wall was going to cave in,
Overall a bad experience and i wouldnt recommend this hotel whatsoever,

Our deepest apology for the bad experience of our guests stated in this review. However, it happens to be that the "guns" seen on the computer at the reception is one of the popular games in Playstation 3 called "Call of Duty" which is a war simulation played online and during that period, there was an international competition held in Rome, called "The Gameland" and the hotel accommodated many players in the said event. So for those who didn't recognize this state-of-the-art games, we regret and apologize for the confusion. Fortunately, one of the positive sides of the hotel was mentioned - cleanliness - and one of the most important.
Noisy neighborhood is not anymore the hotel's responsibility and street life noise is normal in any popular city all over the world. During the day time, when all clients normally are outside the hotel to explore the beauty of the City of Rome, that's the only time for the hotels to do the cleanings and renovation in other hotels. And in our case, it happens that the other hotel above us are having renovations during that time so the noise during the day can't be avoided. At any rate, the expenses of the hotel for renovation is for the guests in the near future for a better stay and not to annoy the present guests. However, working hours for carpenters and operators finishes at 6:00 p.m. Most of the bad experiences mentioned are not caused by the hotel to say that we are not recommendable.

This was an awful experience. When my wife and I arrived,we had to climb up some steep stairs to the reception, upon when we were escorted out and down the road to an annex , to another buliding.
This turned out to be where we were staying, couldnt see any fire exits or instructions in this dodgy building.
Air conditioning was only available with a remote control which had an extra cost.
Room had just enough space to swing a cat.
Had to make a worthless journey for breakfast in the morning for some bread and coffee.

Our deepest apology if it has been an awful experience for your stay at our hotel. At the main entrance on the street-side, we have 6 door bells each with the name of the hotel for our guests to use in case they need help for their luggage. We have personnel in-charge for this service. When the clients complained about the absence of elevator in our building, we offered the room in our dependance hotel just at the building in front of us where we have an elevator. The building is old since it was built more than a century ago, but not dodgy. Only the exterior looks old to preserve antiqueness of Rome, but the interior is newly renovated. As stated from their letter that they were escorted out and down the road to our annex, our personnel carried their luggage until they reach the elevator on the next building and up to the room. In our dependance hotel, the exit to the stairs from the farthest room is only 5 steps away in only 1 corridor so indication is not necessary. From our website and from the information e-mail we send for each client, air-conditioning is upon request with an extra charge specially when you avail the special promotional rates. The size of our double rooms is standard except from the superior rooms which are more spacious.
At the reception before we escort guests to our dependance hotel, we inform our guests that breakfast is on the main building since there’s no breakfast hall in our annex. Bread and coffee are the main ingredients of a continental breakfast but they forgot to mention the fruit juices, hot tea, hot and cold milk, cereals, fruit jams, biscuits and butter. Climbing 26 steps to arrive at the reception area is not worth complaining if you’re coming to Rome to climb the 138 steps of the famous Spanish Steps, or the 305 steps to the lantern at the very tip of St. Peter’s dome. In the center of Rome, you can only find old buildings and most of them are without elevators. If the problem is carrying of luggage, our personnel is always ready to help.

We (2 adults, 2 teens) stayed at the hotel for 3 nights in a quadruple room. We elected not to get air conditioning for an extra 10 Euro. It was hot but comfortable, however our room looked into the courtyard and things got a little noisy one night due to a party in an adjoining apartment. Not the hotel's fault, but we should have taken the air conditioning and closed the window. Breakfast was very basic, but there are so many places to get food all day long immediately around the hotel and in the train station that it doesn't matter. The room was basic, not new but very clean. The staff was very helpful and the restaurant recommendation (Regina's a few blocks away) was great. This was the cheapest hotel by about 40% in all of Italy (we also stayed in Florence and Venice). The other hotels were a little better (newer rooms and better breakfast), but much more expensive and we didn't come to Italy to spend all of our time in the hotel. I wouldn't hesitate to save a few bucks and stay here again. We didn't find the neighborhood bad at all even though our guidebook said the train station neighborhood was sketchy.
