Hotels near ARS MEDICA in Rome

We stayed at Hotel Torino with a group. I would not recommend this hotel. The bed mattresses were completely worn out, no blankets on bed so we had to use ancient bedspreads. Hot water took 10 min to reach shower but if you tried to add cold to adjust temp, all hot water vanished. The hot shower was a trickle. Bathroom shampoo was powered and unusable. Breakfast was mediocre - fresh fruits were non-existent, coffee was not good, pastries were unappetizing, and boiled eggs severely over cooked. Thank goodness for the the granola which was delicious. Very few breakfast options nearby so we were stuck with the hotel choices. Our 7th floor room did not automatically lock, so room had to be locked from inside with key as well as locked with key whenever we left room. Other rooms in hotel did not have this issue. Keys had hotel name and room number plastered on the keychain which is a security issue if lost. Wifi dropped constantly. The safe did work and the room was made up each day (though our group had varied experience with housekeeping making up the rooms). If we had not been with a group, we would have left and found new accommodations.

Honestly couldn't fault our stay here. From the friendly check in we received when we arrived to extra assistance we needed. All the staff we encountered were very helpful, we only had one issue with one of the early morning receptionist we weren't aware the gates were locked we had to ask twice to have the gate unlocked as we had a early morning excursion planned and needed to leave, the man on reception gave us a rather grumpy and short response when we asked to have the gates opened. But apart from that all the other staff went above and beyond for us. From getting us extra pillows on the first night even after the maid service left. On our last evening the receptionist called up our transfer company for us and confirmed our pick up time for us, as our phones wouldn't allow us to call international numbers. On the day we checked out, they even stored our luggage for us behind the front desk as we had a few hours to kill before we got picked up. When our transfer taxi didn't arrive, the receptionist on duty that day couldn't be more helpful,phoning the company for us to find out what the hold up was, even helping organise a different taxi for us to get us to the airport in time for our flights home. Rooms were airy and cleaned daily and in an excellent location for the local metro line. Perfect to use as a base to get away from the hustle bustle of the city centre. Perhaps a welcome guide in the room would be useful to let people know of the times when the gate is locked etc as we weren't aware of this. Overall enjoyed our stay here with the friendly staff and comfy rooms.

I'm sure that each of us has his own scale of factors to evaluate whether a place is beautiful or ugly but that the added value is the people. In this clean, nice and very comfortable hotel, near the Roma Termini station, it is precisely the people who make a small hotel a point of reference for our trips to Rome. Paola from the reception was, and is, the person who followed us during the booking process and who went out of her way to help us project our photographs on a wall, in a small room set up just for us, a small group of photographers arrived in town for a two day photography course. Thanks Thanks Thanks dear Paola, you are invaluable for the hotel and for the people who stay with you.. an infinite thanks from all of us. Federica

The staff here were absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately that was the only plus point. Our room was in a state of disrepair. Buttons missing off light switches revealing live wires, bath fittings broken or missing, mould on the walls, paint peeling... I could go on but it's safe to say I won't be returning. Breakfast was cake, croissant or ham. Very poor too. 2/5 from me

The Impero hotel in Rome is amazing. Whilst it isn’t the most glamorous or modern, the location is perfect for getting around the city. A short walk from the Metro, and all major sites can be walked to easily within 20-30 mins depending on how fast you walk. The staff are incredibly friendly and very helpful, the rooms were clean and comfortable and the breakfast was a super selection of fruits, breads, cheeses and much more. The roof terrace is very relaxing to chill out and relax in. The hotel has a mini-market across the street, lots of restaurants and other shops nearby as well, the perfect place to base yourself in Rome.

Our stay at the Hotel Archimediocre was strange to say the least. The hallways and common areas were fairly nice, and the breakfast was okay. However the rooms were a rather different story. Our room was shared between three, and two of the beds were pushed up against each other so we had to essentially share a bed. The sheets and towels were unclean and there was hair all over them, suggesting they hadn’t been cleaned properly. My sheets also had holes in them. The shower was inconvenient, as there was no shower curtain and no plug, so we had to take showers sitting down in the bath (which was stained). The privacy was limited. Our window looked out onto a utility area which was very dirty. The utility area also seemed to be used as a smoking spot for the staff. However, since the window was not airtight, the smell of cigarettes filled our room frequently. What’s more, our blinds didn’t close all the way and we saw the staff looking into our room through the window several times. Our friend’s door handle fell off the door too, which made opening and closing the room difficult. The air conditioning was functional, however it made our room smell disgusting. Since our trip was in the spring this was not too much of an issue, but had we travelled a few months earlier this would have been another story. The staff were not unkind but neither were they overly warm. However, the location of the hotel was good, and our stay overall was not too bad.

I only had a short stay here but I enjoyed my time. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. It was a quirky place, easy to navigate round and I found it useful to be able to use the lockers before and after my check in/out. I found the price to be more than reasonable and would definitely recommend.

The hotel is located very near to the Termini Station with easy access to most locations in Rome. The rooms have a bit of old-style charm and are spacious and comfortable, especially when travelling with multiple family members. The buffet breakfast at the top floor offers a wide variety of good-quality items, and is truly a highlight at this hotel. The service staff is friendly and attentive, and will rush to your aid when experiencing any difficulties. The cleaning staff helped us when we were having issues with the key, and the desk staff helped us change to a different room without any questions asked. Truly very friendly.

The location is fantastic, right next to the Venetian Square. The elevator is very compact, the breakfast room is narrow, and the waiters are very kind. We booked a 2-person room with a 7-year-old child, and the front desk agreed to it, but the child added 15 euros a day for breakfast, which is still cheaper than a triple room. Take a taxi to the airport for 50 euros.

In no particular order: - The wallpaper was peeling - The woodwork was chipped and dirty - The decor and furniture seemed to be a time machine to the late seventies/early eighties - You had to keep signing into the wifi, even while just sitting in the room - The fridge was ancient and barely worked (once we had actually plugged it in because it wasn't when we arrived) - The bed was uncomfortable - The bed linen consisted of a sheet, a bobbly synthetic blanket and a bed cover more suitable for Nonna - Unlike *every* other hotel or B&B I've ever stayed in, there was no kettle, tea or coffee - The air conditioning was like being breathed on by a mouse and the vent was dirty - The room was right next two elevators and a stairwell, so we were treated to random clanks and knocks during the night - The room was right above the entrance onto a busy street, so if you opened the window for some air we suffered a wide selection of traffic and other noises as well as pollution - The picture of the Virgin above the bed looking down on us was just downright dusturbing - The switches for the lights above the bed were behind the headboard, so if you moved at all in bed you flicked them on or off - The bathroom was was damp, windowless and dank - The doors to the tiny shower cubicle leaked all over the floor (not helping with the above) - The jets of water from the shower head were so narrow and hard it felt more like a water cutting machine at all but the tiniest nudge of the lever (which I kept bashing as I washed myself, either making the water scalding hot or turning it off altogether) - But most of all, *most of all*, the room stank! Properly smelled. A situation not helped by the air-conditioning, the extractor fan or opening the window. It was like a strong wave hitting you every time we opened the door. Though the ceiling was nice. And it is within reasonable walking distance of a lot of sights. It probably didn't help that - judging by the fire evacuation plan - we appeared to have the smallest room in the hotel. I think the linen cupboard just down the hall may have been more spacious. Certainly it would have smelled better. This is a hotel seriously in need of a refurb, some basic maintenance and a bit of care and attention. As it stands I am surprised they have the gall to charge what they do, or call it a four star. I've stayed in nicer bunkhouses
