The Best Western ARS Hotel is a remarkable example of a building designed in the immediate recovery of the early Twentieth Century. The restoration works have involved the use of a villa in the district of Rome called "Montesacro- Garden City", for the realization of a receptive hotel "ARS" The challenging work has allowed us to enhance the original architectural and environmental characteristics. The current building is the result of several layers, which was originally built in the early twenties. The villa has a building complex which is completed with other buildings in the urban area, surrounded by a unique garden. The main building is composed of a ground floor, three upper levels and an attic. In addition, the layout of the volumes is enhanced by small balconies that characterize the different floors. Access to hotel you can either from the main entrance in Via Monte Altissimo that behind the complex in viale Carnaro.

was given free breakfast for being Diamond select, but breakfast didn't start until 7:00 am, so was not able to use 3 of 5 days. Staff was very friendly, helpful and professional. rooms were clean and bedding was very comfortable. Shower was small but had good water pressure and fixtures were modern. rooms were modern, but air conditioning was not adequate to keep room at 68 degrees which I like. Temperature was more like 72.

Small hotel on the outskirts of Rome. We stayed for 4 nights in a cosy basement family room. Cleanliness was good although a slight problem with ants in the bathroom. Breakfast was a basic continental offering which sufficed but could have done with a few more options. Staff were polite, friendly and helpful and were always happy to recommend local restaurants and organise taxis when needed. You could hop on the local bus to get into town which took about 20-25mins. Overall a pleasant stay.

We visited this hotel before Covid. First, it is a lovely hotel there are a few things that staff need to address to.make it better. If you are going to stay there get a room that is on the side that is nearer the lobby. If you have to go down the stairs past the gym I found the room we stayed with my daughter to be cramped basement room. The room was not for 3 people. The bathroom was cramped with a shower no where to put soap in the shower I rested on top of the shower. Never done that before. I also noticed a lot of things did not seem to work in rm 107, a broken chair, you would do yourself great damage sitting on it, we reported this to reception and the sink blocked up, now management were good to.visit to sort this out the blocked sink. Be careful with the chair in rm 107 though. Breakfast is a budget affair, I would grade it at average to below average. As the hotel is not in the centre why not source better quality pastries. The ones on offer can not be found in the shops or cafes nearby. Beware as food is not labelled. Chocolate in a croissant is fine but nutella is not good for anyone with a nut allergy, my husband avoided that as my daughter and test food on offer. Cost cutting is fine but offer better quality. Saucers for grown ups for the cooked breakfast is a bit.mean. The hotel is located quite near to the metro.which is obviously good for getting into the centre for tourist bits. There are lots of good shops, restaurants and places for breakfast outside ARS and the pricing is fair. You can get good food locally which is.why what the hotel offers stands out as poor. The amenities at the hotel, there is a lovely suntrapped terrace.but ARS you will need to hose down the terrace furniture if you don't it leaves a white chalk like residue on clothing. This hotel is not cheap and post pandemic they need to do more. The staff are nice but not going out of their way and for that reason when I visit Rome again, I won't stay here again.

Myself and my partner have just returned from a 5 day stay here. Firstly, the hotel was clean and modern…ish compared to other hotels I have stayed in. We stayed in room 406 directly next to the lift which was extremely loud. Each time it went up or down the whole room vibrated, not the best when you’re trying to get a good nights sleep. The first time our room was cleaned we came back to our room door actually being left unlocked and open for anyone to come inside presumably by the cleaning staff. On our 3rd day the toilet in our room broke and wouldn’t flush. There was water constantly running in it and pairing this with the noise of the elevator we didn’t get the best nights sleep. We let the reception staff know about the toilet and left them with our room key while we went out however we came back to the toilet not being fixed and no mention to us about it when getting our key back. The next day we mentioned it again and this time when we arrived back in the evening it had been fixed… only to break once more after it had been used. The area is not close to the centre of Rome as described, it is a 10 minute walk down lots of steps (this was an utter nightmare to walk up after a long day exploring the city) and then around 6-8 stops on the train depending on where in the city you want to visit.

Absolutely lovely hotel staff couldn't help us enough especially Antonio we were travelling with a wheelchair so had to get taxis everywhere as a little out of town. Breakfast was great was clean and quiet. Rooms really comfortable just a little disappointed that we couldn't get coffee in the evening would liked to have sat in communal area and chatted rather than spend time in room

Great hotel, you won't be disappointed. Very easy to get to rome, although avoid the bus during rush hour!! Antonio was extremely helpful booking taxis for us. There are some nice restaurants nearby and breakfast has a good selection. We'd definitely visit again.

Absolutely brilliant! The minute we were dropped off to when we left the hotel was excellent. The receptionist made the hotel even better giving ideas of where to go etc. the room was clean and spacious with windows overlooking the garden. Breakfast was continental so was ok for a Brit but ate enough. In walking distance to the Metro and with the receptionist guidance was able to get into Rome quickly and with no hassle.

A decent hotel but could do with a little bit of tlc. It is situated a little out of the center of Rome in a quiet suburb which is great if you are after some respite from the hustle and bustle of Roma. The metro is about a 5-minute walk - the shortcut includes going down about 100 steps (and up on the way back) but there is a step-free alternative which is a bit longer. The staff is super friendly and helpful, with maps and metro directions on hand. Once you get to the metro it is about a 30-minute ride max to get to the colosseum or other parts of Rome. The room itself was spacious with a big bathroom that included a bidet. The shower cubicle was very narrow and a little bit dark as there is no light above. The hair dryer is quite dated and not as powerful. The bedroom lacked enough charging sockets, and the pillows were absolutely awful. We had to ask for extras. Also odd, was that we had to leave our keys with reception every time we left the hotel. We stayed for four nights, and our room was 'cleaned' the first day, but only the bed was made. I had to request clean towels. There is a safe, but it is suer tiny, about the size of a passport so wouldn't be able to ft a laptop etc We had a hired car and were charged 10 euros per night to park it on the grounds. There is a nice coffee shop up the road and a supermarket on the corner of the main road but otherwise the area is very quiet and non-busy.

Honestly good hotel, a little off city centre so you get decent value. Take Bus from Roma Termini, not train. The room was sometimes Warner than outside. We went in October 2022. Good breakfast buffet! Would recommend for price and value. Also, just a 3-5 walk away … highest rated Gelato place in Rome.

Lovely clean hotel even though located away from the main attractions but easily reached via the metro 10 mins walk away. However, our stay was made so much better by the excellent and most helpful service especially from Antonio and Claudio who went out their way with all the queries we had. Always helpful and at the same time very polite and courteous. Made us feel at home - most grateful.
