Stayed here two nights. Very central, 5 or 10 minutes walk from Powell st BART station. We caught the train from the airport to here. Rooms are large, very clean and offer free wifi. Bathroom is well equipped and also large. There is a coffee maker and a fridge. They offer free newspapers and shoe shine. If you stay here... More

It was clean and the staff was ok. The receptionist was very helpful and provided a map and directions for the main objectives in Rome. Breakfast was pretty simple, not much diversity and the same during our stay. The best thing for this hotel is that it's really close to the city centre -15 min walk to the Colosseum. They... More

Donatello was definitely a find in the heart of Rome. I was a little nervous after reading some of the reviews posted here, but I could not have been more satisfied with the stay my son and I had during his first trip to Europe. We did get a little lost on our walk from Termini Train station, but the... More

During a citybreak I enjoyed the help and friendship of the staff (speaking English). Stayed on the first floor, in a confortable and clean room, a little bit noisy from the street. Breakfast just Italian (croissant, tea or coffee, bread&butter, biscuits). Good connections to Termini Central Station (1 minute), not far from Manzoni Metro Station-A line (7-10 minutes).

We try to travel quite a bit, and I pride myself in not wanting to be considered an "ugly American." I blew it in Italy. I have been yelled at in Florence and now in Rome by hotel staff. Can you blame them? When checking out at the Donatello early a.m., I clunked my roller suitcase down several marble steps... More

Nice hotel with clean rooms and bathrooms, friendly staff and good breakfast too..not to close from the main attractions but will stay again if I have to. Very good for your pocket if you are in budget.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable, quiet and superficially very clean. The carpet could have done with a bit of a clean. The breakfast was nothing exciting, but was adequate. Good value for money in an expensive city. Fairly close to the metro for the city centre.

My husband and I recently took a trip to Rome Italy with Gate 1 travel. We stayed at the Hotel Donatello and I must say we were pleasantly surprised. I read several of the reviews and was a bit concerned. However, all of my worries were put to rest upon arrival. The hotel is located in a residential area. So... More

My boyfriend and I went to Rome for a city break last month. We wanted a good priced hotel, because you need a lot of spending money for Rome! We were almost put off by the bad reviews, but once we got to Rome we found that Hotel Donatello was good value and not too far from the metro (which... More
