Hotels near La Scaletta degli Artisti 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

Just got back from a city break in Rome, we loved the city and everything we did there. Then we come to the hotel so I will start with the very few good points. The young lady on reception when we arrived was very nice and friendly. Our room was cleaned daily and bed made and fresh towels left and we slept ok. Now the bad : firstly when we walked into the room i notuced there was no information about anything which i have never come across before, lots of scuff marks on walls, no TV remote (when i asked about it was told you have to use buttons on tv), no tea/coffee making facilities including no cups or glasses, , no hairdryer, broken headboard on bed, bathroom was very dated (certainly didn't look like the photos on the website), the shower head had more water coming out of one side than the other and wouldn't adjust,old mismatched furniture ( wobbly tv table). We booked bed and breakfast which wasnt on the premises, you had to get a card from reception each morning, walk up the road to a small bar where you had a coffee and a pastry, that was breakfast. I definitely wouldn't say the 3-star rating is justified more like a 2 star. If you just want somewhere to sleep, then I'm sure it would be fine for you, but it certainly isn't somewhere to go back to and relax. As a suggestion, I think they could easily provide a kettle, cups, hairdryer, and charge a deposit which you would get back when you left. I missed waking up and having a hot drink whilst getting ready to go out.

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.

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.

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

Really convenient location with only 3-min distance to Roma Termini giving you quick and easy transfer to the airport and elsewhere in Italy by train. Rooms have been renovated too. However, front desk staff was really rude. When I dropped my room keys in the transparent plastic box placed on the front desk for an express check-out and turned around leaving the hotel, staff shouted at me asking me to wait in line. The staff said I haven’t cleared my payment and tried to charge me full room rate plus city tax even though I have prepaid the room rate to Agoda in full. True that I haven’t paid city tax but they have swiped my credit card upon check-in or they could have asked me to pay upon check-in either. I suggested the hotel should have hided their express check out box if there is no such option available. The staff bluntly replied it is for guests who have cleared all the payment. It is really ironic who can enjoy express check out, if the hotel doesn’t charge city tax upfront nor charge it to credit card. Meanwhile, the room cleaning is so-so and forgot to refill shampoo/shower gel/fresh tower quite a few times during our stay. Also, the windows isn’t good at isolating street noise. Same review posted on Agoda.

Fantastic village, beautiful surroundings and very peaceful. Train station is around a 30 minute walk from the village where you can get cheap trains to Rome and the airport. Great place to get a good night’s rest and good value too. I stayed there between flights so it was convenient as it is only 1 hour 15 minutes by train to the airport. There are restaurants, plenty of toilets and even a shuttle bus. I didn’t use any of these services because I just needed to sleep but there are lots of amenities. I stayed in a basic room which had 2 beds, table, light and power socket. That’s all you need. There is a heater and blankets for when it gets cold. A generous amount of toilet paper is also provided which can be used in the shared toilets. Staff are friendly. All in all a great place to stay!

Where to begin, the B&B Hotel Rome, placed the booking through a 3rd party firm, not something I'd usually choose but seemed okay. Now the hotels actually nice overall. Walls are abit thin so you can hear upstairs on a night like they was in the bathroom next to you, beds comfy, rooms clean and shower room was nice. Pressure and heat all good along with the decent working aircon system. Wasn't in room much to be fair but yea the room we had was okay. Breakfast area looks like some school canteen from 2010 but essentially does the job. Nice coffee and savouries. Not really needed though when outside there is loads of local cafes far cheaper. Bit pointless. Breakfast outside is maybe 5 euros for coffee and pastries. Where this review takes a sudden turn was the end. Started really with the receptionist (staff member). A young man with glasses (polite and well mannered).  Helpful enough at the beginning but was very insistent on getting us to book a taxi back to the airport days in advance, Infact when we arrived it's all he was talking about before giving us the lock code to the room. Now we'd usually do Uber but was told it was early and traffic to that airport can be a nightmare. Ubers may decline jobs etc, The gent was kind enough upto this point to help us with restaurant options and travel plans via busses. So why not use the hotel to book us a cab back to campino airport. So the gentleman said 50 euros. Private taxi. Now 50 euros is alot as ubers about 42 euros in traffic but its booked and private hire with proper taxi driver, Still this was alot but its private and booked so we'll pay 50 euros ... what a bad idea this was!. So After waking up far too early for this highly staged and planned airport run. We arrived to the reception to see a very smiley young cab driver. ”To the airport yes, booked yes, Airporto, Room number ***”. From this we got in the taxi and we was underway. The Jounrey was crazily fast, no need at all to be up so early. No traffic. First daft decision I realised and the overwhelming thought then started setting in. On arriving at the airport the taxi driver turned to us and requested 60 euros for what is at best a 38 euro trip normally, Plus we'd been told 50 remember at reception by the eager staff member booking everyones taxis and telling us everytime he saw us that he had ”booked our taxi” with a cheesy smile. Then also turned out he didn't take card as was mentioned by the hotel worker ... This ended up an awful experience. Alot of shouting and waving hands. Taxi driver very aggressive, Not the best end. And all because we never booked an uber but instead took a staged taxi run from what obviously was the staff members ”Friend” in a taxi. Maybe a deal they have on going. If its not I do apologise but very much seems this way. So now to the owners of the hotel !. You may care or not, but this is going on in the hotel. And it really ruined the end of our holiday. We'll never stay there again. Which is
