The location next to the hospital. And the staff, the staff was super nice and friendly. Prepared for any request.
The furniture in the rooms is really run down, plus the door is really old and does not give the feeling of safety. First impression were not good, but felt safe later as it was old, but clean and staff made you feel safe and at home.
Every day cleaning service ?….Bed is so comfortable and it’s quite place to stay
To small choices for breakfast…
Nice hotel with its own parking, which was very important to us. We were allowed to leave the car at the hotel before check-in and then check in later after a pleasant walk in Rome. Thank you very much indeed.The room was nice with a large bed with comfortable mattresses. Delicious Italian breakfast which also included salty sandwiches. Very close to the railway station with the possibility of easy connection to the metro and very easy and quick access to the center of Rome. There are nice restaurants nearby.
The only thing we didn't like were the big and hard pillows on what we are not used to sleeping. But other guests may be comfortable.
comfortable bed, hot water, WiFi, delicious breakfast
noise, too small shower cabine, weak light in the room
Good transport connection through train station nearby. Comfortable rooms, nice staff!
Unfortunately our original hotel was cancelled so we had to book this at the last minute, the staff & rooms all good, pastries at breakfast were amazing, although I wanted a milk coffee but ended up with strongest americano - my fault for not speaking Italian! Anyway location wise it’s not ideal for main attractions in Rome - Gemelli station is literally across the street but navigating the travel system in a weekend isn’t easy (unless you speak Italian) although it’s great location for the big hospital! There are cafes etc if you walk right out of the hotel and keep walking. But there’s a tabacci next door and a mini market just by that along with a Burger King if you need it. The good thing is there’s a taxi rank just opposite too so you can get to where you need!
Nothing bad in hotel just would have preferred it a little more central. The hotel etc can’t be faulted!
Location is great to study in the university
Very poor wifi connectionOnly one of the staff can speak EnglishBreakfast is very limited in options
Confy bedsAir conParkingVery close to the train stationClean
The hotel is right accross the Gemelli hospital and provides a parking - something of great value. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. There is a train station 100 m down the road, which makes any location in Rome within reach. The staff was very helpful. There was a mini fridge, which was very helpful to me.
My room was at the end of the corridor and did not have internet - the staff tried to solve the issue, but it was not possible. The rooms have not changed furniture since the hotel was established in the 1990s. The shower enclosure is 70x70 cm, which made taking a shower quite an experience :-)
most of the staff were kind people. especially the man who worked at night
Dirty room. strict rules. hidden fees (for example had a weird charge as we were leaving per person, per night on top of what we already payed.
Perfect location for Gemelli hospital, right opposite the main entrance
It needs some updating
