We were a bit worried about some of the bad reviews, but were happy we chose this hotel. The staff was extremely nice and friendly, the rooms were not as small as expected and very quiet and clean. It doesn't offer a buffet breakfast, if anyone was expecting that :) , instead you get some croissants, bread and butter and... More

I read the reviews about how close it was to the train station. In reality it is about a 15 minute walk and you pass 50 other hotels on the way here. Everything that people said about the owners and the charm of the hotel was true. It is a really lovely, typical 3-star Italian hotel. I have stayed at... More

Stayed here for four nights in March. Found the staff excellent, very friendly and welcoming. The room was extremely clean and quite, although on the small side. Breakfast was basic coffee and bread.. But when in Rome! The hotel was situated a little bit away from the main tourist areas but the tram stop is right outside the hotel and... More

Our stay at the Hotel Donatello was more than we expected. It was wonderful! To begin, we are retired, we did not go to Rome for hotel amenities -- we went to see Roma! The hotel is relatively small by Western standards, not the "big box" hotel, and it is not at all short on caring service or subdued elegance.... More

We stayed here for three days and found the location fairly central. The accomodations were nice. The people at the front desk were very helpful. Not a five store hotel but for a trip on a budget it was quite accomodating. The staff was nice, the rooms were clean , and near the train station. It was walking distance to... More

Got this hotel very reasonably along with Alitalia flights. The location is fine, about 10 minutes by tram from Termini. The street doesn't look great, but it's pretty clean and safe. The lobby is good, the front desk, Carlo and Patricia super nice. Breakfast is good coffee and milk, rolls and croissants. Everything fresh. The room was okay, nothing fancy,... More

I think this is perfect hotel if you want to explore Rome for a weekend. The location is very good (within a walking distance to the Terminus, plus tram line in front of the hotel). When searching Rome information on the internet, there is full info about busses and metro but virtually no info about the tram lines that are... More

The room was small, but manageable. The shower was great. The breakfast was just bread (a croissant and a roll), but the coffee was out of this world good. Staff was friendly and helpful. Best of all, the bus was about 1 block away, as was the tram. Subway about 5 blocks. I'd stay here again because of how fast... More

This inexpensive little hotel near the main train station was a in a prime location for us. Since Rome only has two metro lines we needed to be close to a metro stop and this was close enough. The rooms were average size (by European standards) and clean. The bathroom was small but clean. No problems with staff and cleanliness...linens... More
