Hotel berhampiran Antica Farmacia Pesci, Rome

Siamo stati qui per il ponte del primo maggio, avevamo dei coupon per tre notti che prevedevano comunque una maggiorazione per questo periodo, e non ci aspettavamo ovviamente il lusso, ma sono rimasta delusa da alcuni aspetti e scrivo questa recensione in modo un po’ combattuto. Sui punti a favore sicuramente la posizione , ottima per i mezzi, si raggiungono facilmente la metro e gli autobus, come come la stazione, e una volta imparate le strade anche il centro o i principali monumenti non sono poi così distanti a piedi (dai 10 minuti ai 20). In hotel sono anche stati cosi gentili da tenerci i bagagli anche dopo il check out, perché avevamo il treno nel tardo pomeriggio, in modo da non girare tutto il giorno con lo zaino in spalla. La camera ok, pulita e grande il giusto, solo il bagno un po’ piccolino e senza bidet, ma per pochi giorni ci si può accontentare. La delusione riguarda i servizi. All’accoglienza abbiamo aspettato fuori dalla porta 20 minuti perché non funzionava il campanello e ho dovuto chiamare al telefono più volte. Il manager non si è mai visto se non al check out e in hotel non trovavamo quasi mai nessuno.. prima delle 9 e dalle 15 non c’è anima viva… non abbiamo ricevuto informazioni o suggerimenti in merito a spostamenti, posti eventualmente da visitare o dove mangiare, o su eventi.. nessuna indicazione pratica… in realtà ci siamo sentiti abbastanza abbandonati a noi stessi…. Unico suggerimento un bar per fare colazione l’ultimo giorno e tra i più cari della città…. La biancheria in camera veniva cambiata solo su richiesta…. Zero convenzioni con bar e ristoranti, ed essendo un bed &breakfast potrebbe essere utile.. inoltre Roma è una città indubbiamente grande e non si può pretendere di raggiungere tutto in pochi minuti a piedi, ma una volta imparate scorciatoie e strade giuste ci si sposta anche abbastanza rapidamente, basterebbe magari prendere una strada a destra piuttosto che a sinistra… peccato che noi lo abbiamo capito solo l’ultimo giorno… avessimo avuto più indicazioni forse ci saremmo evitati tanti km inutili….. e avremmo visto più cose…. Detto questo, rimane una buona soluzione per la posizione ma la cura del cliente è decisamente da rivedere per questo ritengo i prezzi un po’ sopra le righe…

The room itself it's very nice, very spacious and the bed was comfortable. The location was great too, a very decent distance to all the attractions around by walk e.g Trevi Fountain.. alternatively bus stop is very near. Staffs were not that helpful as we have requested slippers few times and none was sent throughout a two day stay. One male staff at the front desk doesn't look at you when you're talking to them, which is very rude in my opinion.

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.

Sono certa che ognuno di noi abbia la propria scala di fattori per valutare se un posto e' bello o brutto ma che siano le persone il valore aggiunto. In questo hotel pulito, carino e molto comodo , vicino alla stazione di Roma Termini sono proprio le persone che fanno di un piccolo hotel, un punto di riferimento per i nostri viaggi a Roma. Paola della reception e' stata, ed è, la persona che ci ha seguito in fase di prenotazione e che si è fatta in quattro per aiutarci a proiettare le nostre fotografie su una parete, di una saletta allestita solamente per noi, un gruppetto di fotografi arrivati in città per un corso di fotografia di due giorni. Grazie Grazie Grazie cara Paola, sei preziosa per l'hotel e per le persone che soggiornano da voi.. un infinito grazie da tutti noi. Federica

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.

Clean, comfortable, spacious room. Many & varied breakfast options. Comfortable air conditioned lounge downstairs off lobby. Proximity to bus, train, restaurants, mini markets and laundry (10 euro W&D) was excellent for 5 days in Rome. Disappointing check-in experience was had and witnessed twice, but fortunately this was the only blight on our stay.

I would have liked to rate the hotel as 4.5* however our room was at the front of the hotel and even with the windows shut it was very noisy from the large road junction outside, plus there was noise from other residents and tvs in other rooms, maybe some soundproofing needs to be carried out. That having been said the location was excellent, an easily walkable distance to main attractions, plus a metro stop is directly outside the hotel. The area felt safe at night and there some very good restaurants to try which are only minutes away. Should you wish to go shopping then there are plenty of non-designer shops to choose from nearby including a very good department store called COIN. Our room was a good size and had a lovely bathroom. The bed was large and extremely comfortable, the linen was super soft. Cleaning through the hotel was of a high standard. Breakfast was excellent, everything you might want and the most delicious scrambled eggs I have ever had in a hotel. There were salads, pastries, cakes, fresh fruit, yoghurts, different cured meats and cheeses, sausages and bacon and vegetarian options. Top marks for the hard working breakfast staff. A great start to the day. Staff generally were friendly and helpful. At reception were snacks and drinks to welcome you which was a nice gesture. The hotel also has a small restaurant, ideal for lunches or if you are too exhausted to leave the hotel at night. We had pizzas and salads there a couple of times for lunch and they were very good. The reception area is good with couches, they will look after your baggage if you have a late flight. A very enjoyable stay.

This is the best option for hostel stay in Roma. I was in a 4-bed dorm room, and all beds had sliding doors for extra privacy. When not being used the beds could also be locked from outside. There was a storage drawer under the bed which was very spacious and could be locked using the same key as the bed. The ensuite bathroom was good, but the door didn't seem to close tightly enough, in my opinion, even though the lock worked fine. This was the only negative of my stay really, but the impact wasn't high as I had considerate room-mates. I used the kitchen quite a bit to heat food, and although I didn't participate in staff organised meals, these were a nice touch. The hostel had a secure entrance as well, which I appreciated. The location was really nice too - about a 15-minute walk away from the Roma Termini station. And in the walking distance there are several fantastic restaurants for every budget. I particularly enjoyed a nice Bangladeshi one that was only a 15 minute walk away from the hostel. There was also a huge supermarket about 5min away that I didn't need to use, but appreciated its proximity anyway. Had a great experience overall, and I would stay here again.

Lots of on site parking. Laundry service recommended across the hotel were amazing and friendly. Room was very small though. Blow dryer didn’t work. Not enough bench space in the bathroom. Overall cleanliness was great. The fridge was nice and cold. Although they don’t have a stocked fridge and you would have to go down to get bottled water. Variety of breakfast choices. Drinks were okay and coffee was from an instant coffee machine which was okay. Staff weren’t around often to ask for fresh coffee. Front concierge were friendly though and very helpful.
