Good value in a great location

The hotel is located in a great part of rome (easy walking distance to most main sights). As with most 3 star places in Italy, it is a relatively basic room, but has the important stuff. Can be a bit loud at times, but overall a good stay.

Perfect for seeing all the sights of Rome which were mainly walkable from the hotel. Excellent value but not the best 5 star hotel but it did everything and more it promised for 3 star with very helpful and friendly staff and very much better than similar hotels stayed in previously. It is off the main road, quiet but is in an interesting neighbourhood with local cafes etc. We reccommend that visitors buy the Omnia Pass ahead of visit for cost and to eliminate queueing and disappointment to see the top attractions. Bus Shuttle from airport very good and near to the hotel. Tea making in the room would have been nice but coffee and the breakfast (very well served and sufficient continental variety) room were not far away. Free drinks and snacks every evening were well appreciated before setting off for the evening at a restaurant!

Clean, convenient, walking distance to everything!

We were mostly pleased with our hotel stay at the Caravaggio Hotel in Rome. From Termini, the hotel is only a few short blocks away, definitely walking distance if your bags have wheels. The hotel staff were professional and pleasant. We had a room overlooking the street and the size while on the small side was not cramped for the two of us. I have stayed in 5-star hotels that had smaller rooms. The WiFi was free which I was to learn was a rarity in Italy, so appreciate even more now! The rooms were very clean. The continental breakfast, including homemade cappuccino was included, which was nice to start the day off with juice and coffee and bread, cheese, ham, cereals, etc... We did start training in advance of our trip, but will say that for us, in our mid-50s, everything in Rome was within walking distance. The hotel is also very close to the Metro stop just two short blocks away, the metro is very safe and easy to use and will get you easily to most of Rome's major attractions. The only disappointments with the hotel were the inadequacy of the air conditioning in our room for the heat of the season, it was in the 90-100 degree range each day we were there. The staff did try to accommodate us to clean the A/C filter, and brought us a fan that made it very comfortable. They offered to move us to another room, but we were very satisfied with the room otherwise. The shower that others complain of, was more than adequate with good water pressure and adequate supply of hot water. No tubs. Elevator, quaint, but functional, and often we chose to use the stairs, but only out of personal preference. I would most likely stay at Caravggio again, because of convenience and price!

Money-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

There is a great mini-market one and 1/2 blocks down on Via Milano, in between Palermo and Nazionale, run by a very sweet, English speaking gentleman from Bangladesh. Here you can purchase fresh fruit and juices as well as water, wine, prosecco, etc...and various soaps, etc... At a fraction of the price of what they sell for from the street vendors. We frequented this market for our traveling water supplies and saved considerable money. It was usually on the way anywhere we wanted to o and they were open late in the evening (11:00 or later) if we wanted to pick up supplies for the following day.

Loved This Hotel

The hotel is located only a few blocks from the colosseum. We split the city into quadrants and walked a different one each day. The breadkfast and the girls doing the serving and cleanup there were very good and a pleasure to talk to. The front desk was always helpful with information on how to get around the cityand what sites to see. The Happy Hour each night with free wine was a good way to unwind and gatter good tips from fellow travelers. The apples at the front desk were also a welcome delite during the afternoon walks in the hot Rome summer heat. It would have been nice to have a Television channel in English and the bed was a little on the hard side. I reccomend the ower installing a cheap foam pad to the top to make them softer.. Thjat would have made my stay a 5 star.

Tolerably decent

Being within blocks of the train station and the coliseum was a benefit for us. Otherwise it is a fairly unremarkable hotel. It was the cleanest hotel we stayed in while in Italy but if this is what passes for 3 stars in Italy I would hate to see what a one star hotel looks like.

Great location and great value

The hotel was centrally located for numerous walking tours planned out with the map provided by the front desk. It was only 3 blocks from the Metro for the ride out to the Vatican. All staff were very professional and the front desk personnel were very helpful with directions and general info. The breakfast was very good and the two Filapina girls worked very hard to take care of all the customers particularly Gina. There were always apples available at the front desk for the hot walks around town, but there seemed to be free cold running water every few blocks too. There was a Happy Hour from 6 - 8 PM in the lobby with free drinks and snacks and was a good opportunity to meet and talk with other travelers to get good information on the next days excursions. The only downside was the lack of English channels on the TV but old A-Team reruns filled in the little time we spent in the room. The bed was a little on the hard side for an old man with a bad back but I had no problem sleeping and only minor aches when I awoke, like my old bed at home used to give me. The only time we had a hard time sleeping was when a drunk decided to sing Volare outside our window at 01:00. I was getting ready to dump some cold water on him, but he moved on before I had the chance. LOL My wife and I would definitely recommend this hotel and hope to return someday.

Good home base for exploring Rome

The room was attractive and large by European standards, but the queen size bed was hard and uncomfortable. Our room didn't receive daily cleaning service (only there 2 days and didn't report it to the front desk until checkout because we got in late). Helpful staff, happy hour snacks, good breakfast, and excellent location still make for a good place to stay.

Sightseeing tip: Short walk from hotel

At the Roman Coloseum, men dressed as gladiators wanted to take our picture with them (with our camera) for a "tip". After taking it, they tried to charge us 10 Euros. We gave them 2. Beware!

Decent lodging on a budget

Pros: -Short walk to most major sites. -Supermarket located within a 5 min stroll Cons: -Really old building. The elevator attests to that.

Great location and value!!

Clean room. Well maintained. Boutique style. Everything you need is in 5 min walking distance. The staff is professional, but can be taken as unfriendly. This is the culture. You gotta love the 18th century elevator....lol! It works great, but looks like it should be part of a museum.

There is a supermarket really close...across from Via Nationale. Get your snacks, water and stuff there. It's much cheaper, as tour operators don't provide any drinks with lunch. You save at least 1 Euro by bringing your own beverages.
