Having read some of the reviews all I can say is some people are very hard to please! This little hotel was excellent value for money. I would agree however that anyone with mobility problems may find the climb to the first floor a bit difficult. Bearing in mind that this is a budget hotel in central Rome it was... More

We stayed here for three nights last week and really enjoyed the experience. Hotel was spotless, bedroom and bathroom. plenty of fresh towels (2 big bath, 2 medium 2 hand) lots of hot water. Front desk staff very friendly and helpful. Continental breakfast was good, the room was a long narrow room and tables seated four. Hotel was on 3rd... More

Lets get the bad stuff out of the way. The lift is a serious obstacle to anyone with a lack of mobility or people travelling "heavy" (I wasn't - KLM lost my luggage!). It's an ancient lift and only starts from the first floor meaning that in a best case scenario you'll have to carry luggage up three flights of... More

The breakfast was poor, we fined only bad coffee from a machine and croissants. I booked a double bed and we had two single bed joined... People of the hotel are good and very helpfull. The situation is very good, near the bus !

Arriving at the Hotel Galatea we were impressed by the charm of the hotel which was exactly what we had hoped. The hotel is walking distance to what we thought were the major attractions such as the Colleseum, Foro Romana, the Palatine and the Trevi Fountains. Also within a short walking distance was the Circo Massimo. The staff were very... More

Located on the second floor you acces the hotel by stairs or elevator to find a reception with a profesional staff which is very... More

Very nice rooms and baths (newly refurbished), very friendly and helpful staff, very good location next to main (shopping) street, bus and subway, train station, meters away from national gallery etc. Excellent lunch restaurant in the same building and excellent pizzeria next door. Supermarket on main street. If anything, the - sweet only - breakfast could use some (salty) bread.... More

Rome is like no other city. It has incredible architecture that just needs attention. Unfortunately for people who like their hotels affordable and modern - you're out of luck. Like most hotels Galatea is incased inside an old building that has been converted to a hotel. Location: - 15/20 min walk to Spanish Steps and other big sites. Vatican is... More
