The worst hotel I have ever stayed at in my whole life is called Cinecitta in Rome. This hotel ruined my trip, b/c I basically went without sleep for 5 days. Of course, a place like Rome gives new meeting to a city that does not sleep, but after 12-hour days in the city, scouring museums, churches and other tourist destinations, the last thing you want to find is a shower that is so small that you can't bend over ( I showed alone) and the obnoxious hotel management does not even turn on AC until the month of July. I was there in May of 2005, and it was increadibly HOT. The coffee tastes like @$$, the beds are too old, the mattresses were also from hell. If you have back problems, stay away from here. Heck, if you have an ounce of common sense, stay away.

Stay well clear of this dreadful hole!

We had three rooms there for the family and it is truly awful - filthy dirty, marks all over the walls and 'ladies of the night' hanging around after dark and obviously using the hotel for business transactions!

The area is nowhere near central Rome and is located in a poor neighbourhood in the suburbs.

I am a very frequent traveller and have put up with poor hotels but this one is a real dump.

One of the worst hotels we have ever been to. The rooms are very small and the standards very low. Not to mention the poor location. About a 10 minute walk to the metro in what appeared to be a very unsavory area. We didn't feel safe standing outside, let alone walking to the metro!
