We recently stayed here 2 nights with a group of high school kids. Unfortunately, there happened to be a group of young soccer players in this hotel. We were disgusted with how the management handled our situation. The young boys were making very inappropriate comments to our girls, calling their rooms in the middle of the night, etc. After we...

In brief - the hotel is some distance from the City centre with all it's attractions. Taxis each way will cost around 40-50Euros. We did not use public transport. The area in which the hotel is situated is very dodgy looking and run-down. An apartment close by had a noisy student party until dawn. Someone else here describes the hotel... More

My stay at the Petra Hotel and residence was a pleasant one indeed. I was a bit skeptical to begin with due to the other reviews but my room just right. Even though I travelled solo I booked a double room and I was not disappointed. The room was spacious and clean, heating was very good and the bathroom clean.... More

Before we arrived at the hotel our taxi driver got completely lost and had to phone for help with directions - so the hotel could be better signposted. When we arrived at the hotel the first face we saw was an incredibly miserable young woman on the desk, but fortunately the manager arrived and he was wonderfully happy and helpful.... More

We booked this hotel in the last possible minute. There were two big events in Rome - U2 concert and Finals of Volleyball world championship and all Roma hotels were blocked. The hotel is far away from the city center. You can reach Rome with bus and metro for about 35-50 minutes depending on the waiting time at the bus... More

Here is our story on Petra Hotel: My wife and I and our 1 year son booked this hotel in June 2010 for 5 night for 16th to 21st September. They replied and confirmed the booking and kindly asked if we need even a baby bed in our room. Also they mentioned that they need no advance payment but they'll... More

Just back from a long weekend in Rome. We booked it as a last minute thing, so had limited options when choosing a hotel. Booked Hotel Petra as 1. It had a room available 2. It looked great on the website 3.It was (just) within our budget. Firstly, yes, it's miles from Rome - to get there from the city... More

Frankly, we stayed in this hotel just to save money, it’s quite good but is very far from the city centre and from the subway, but there is a bus stop next to it or you could leave your car on the hotel’s parking space, as we did. The room we were accommodated first was an apartment with a kitchenette... More

I've stayed at petra several times for work, the hotel part of it isn't so bad, the restaurant is pretty good and the people are very kind, but the residence is another thing, I had roaches in my room, sometimes I din't have hot water, appliances and lights were always having to get fixed. It's not a 4 star hotel... More
