Hotel berhampiran Cappella di San Primitivo, Rome

This is actually quite a difficult hotel to rate, simply because it is so very unusual. The first impression is that the entire building has been left stuck in a time warp, somewhere between 1940 and 1960, and that nothing has been done to it for the past 70 years or so. But first impressions can be misleading, and this one, I think, was. It obviously has been a very grand hotel in its day, and still retains many quite grand features. It has also had quite a lot done to it as time passed, since basically its rooms and their amenities are actually well up to modern standards, although they may not look as if they are. That is what the visitor needs to get over. It is difficult to take a place seriously that looks, everywhere, so very, very art deco. But actually, this is a very good hotel. It is quiet, comfortable and central, and has just about everything you would want (unless you’re an anglophone, that is, but more of that later). Using our usual rating system it comes out very highly on almost everything. Location Perfect, if Tivoli Terme is what you’re after. The shops, bars, station, and Spa Treatment centre are all within a few minutes’ walk. Having said that, there really isn’t anything much at Tivoli Terme these days. Its heyday as a spa resort seems to be well over. We settled on this hotel as a centre to visit Tivoli itself, and its gardens and Roman remains etc., but the location for that turned out to be less than perfect. Tivoli is much further away than you think, and you are reliant on buses or trains or expensive taxis to get there. Again, more of that later. Reception Very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Speak perfect English and don’t pretend not to understand my, admittedly, less than perfect Italian. Accommodation Our suite was possibly the largest we have ever stayed in, far bigger than the flat we lived in when we were first married. It was a little daunting at first, in that all the furniture was in the same art deco style and looked a little worse for wear. It had obviously been of the highest quality when new, but was showing signs of its age. In practice, however, it was surprisingly comfortable, the room was extremely quiet, and we had no problems. Not with the furniture, that is. There were two drawbacks, however. First was the TV, which was absolutely enormous, but did not have a single channel in English on it, not even BBC World or CNN. Bring your laptop with a VPN and Iplayer/ITVX if you want to watch any English programmes. The wifi is free and worked perfectly while we were there. More serious was the complete absence of any tea or coffee making facilities in the room, and the refusal of reception to supply any on health and safety grounds. Having said that, they do a very acceptable pot of tea in the bar, at a very reasonable price, but you don’t always want to be bothered, do you? Breakfast Well up to standard, with the usual vast Italian array of cakes, a good choice of cereals (including mue

Abbiamo trovato personale molto gentile con una receptionist molto capace che ha trovato soluzioni smart ed anche un' ampia camera quadrupla comoda e pulita con 2 bagni. L'hotel potrebbe presentarsi meglio solo con una rinfrescata alla hall, agli ingressi ed alle parti esterne che in generale portano male gli anni. Le finestre implorano di essere pulite dall'esterno per tornare trasparenti ed i rubinetti dei bagni invocano il giusto pensionamento. Il breakfast è buono ed è servito col sorriso. L' hotel si trova su una strada trafficata, ma che porta alla metro per il centro di Roma. Credo che l'hotel Tivoli in estate possa usufruire della piscina e del giardino del collegato 4 stelle Duca D'Este. Il parcheggio è gratuito . Nei dintorni ci sono buoni ristoranti , soprattutto il conveniente Big Mat Fish. Siamo stati bene e da qui abbiamo visitato Roma parcheggiando l'auto al parcheggio della Metro di Santa Maria del Soccorso.

A relative of mine pointed out this hotel (not visible from the highway) and this past summer I stayed here on two different occasions where I had to pick up someone at the airport and in Rome. The hotel features modern rooms with high ceilings and all the normal amenities (including free parking) with a comfortable bed. I chose the option that does not include breakfast. The staff is friendly and the price for the stay is reasonable.

Nice pool, good breakfast. But be aware the bedrooms are too hot, with inadequate air conditioning. They admitted they can’t get the temperature below 25 degrees in the summer months and our room was 29 degrees. So if you don’t like sleeping in an oven, try another hotel. The staff were friendly apart from one individual. We thought the hotel would be much better than it was. Nice lake 15min drive away. The town is a 5min drive and is lovely. Too far and up a steep hill to walk, so car essential. It they sort the heat in bedrooms, maybe it will be welcoming but we had a disappointing stay.

I chose this hotel because we needed a place to stay for just one night before an early morning flight out of Fiumicino after our time in Tuscany (It is an easy 35-minute drive to the airport on Sunday morning), but I wish we could have stayed longer! The staff was so friendly on check-in and told us that we were welcome to explore the public areas of the villa, which are covered with beautiful paintings and frescos. They provided us with a write-up on the very interesting history of the Villa. Our rooms (we booked two for our family) were very clean and good-sized, with comfortable beds. Yes, the wifi was spotty, and the rooms could use a little updating in terms of things like outlets), but they really had everything we needed and the charm of the place makes up for those things. One room had a beautiful view of Rome, especially at night! We also ate dinner in the hotel's elegant restaurant and it was a perfect last meal before we left Italy. The service was wonderful, prosecco was flowing freely, and the food was delicious!

Movie Movie Hotel has quite new facilities, not like the dated hotels in city center of Rome. It was only 3 minutes walk from metro A line station. The hotel upgraded me to top floor with a spacious room. Everything worked fine. The only complaint was the tiny shelf (not a table) next to the bed. I found not much space to put things next to bed. Other than that, seriously it was a good discovery for visiting Rome for future trips.

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
