Il Papavero Hotel Rome

This hotel gets top marks for location. It's very close to the train stations (subway and long distance) and to the bus stops. The 'must-visit' sites are therefore within easy reach. The rooms are adequately furnished, neat and well maintained - sheets, towels are provided. These are changed once in 3 days or so (if you stay that long or longer). The staff are helpful with information, and friendly. On the downside - The breakfast provided is more in name than in spread - one croissant and a cup of beverage, at a neighbouring bistro. Not enough for the average sight-seer! There is no free wifi. Access (round the clock) to the internet is available only at a room next to reception, and a charge is collected(1 euro an hour on their computer, or 1 euro for 24 hrs on own laptop). I would give it 7 on a scale of 10.

My boyfriend and I spent 2 nights here this past summer. The hotel is in a great location, only a few blocks from the train and metro station. It's also located in an area with many great little Italian restaurants. The hotel itself is spread out almost more like apartments and the building entrances add some rustic charm to remind you you're in Italy! The rooms were spacious and clean, basic but had everything you needed. What we appreciated most about our stay though was the extremely helpful Staff. We spoke no Italian and shortly before arriving by boyfriend came down with food poisoning. One of the staff members directed me to a pharmacy and supermarket and later translated the medication instructions for us. Thanks for the hospitality, Il Papavero!

The pricing of this hotel is very good and you can reach the center of Rome easily. But one should be prepared to be moved by car to an annexe (by a friendly receptionist) without reception and a very erratic shower cold warm cold cold warm)

This hotel is incredible for the price. The layout of this hotel is a little unusual, but for Rome I think you won't find better. Unbelievably this hotel was rated two stars at the time. One of the best budget hotels I stayed in, in all of Europe.

the room located on 2nd floor with the elevator that not arrive when you call. the room did not equipped air-condition. there was no bed sheet change.

My stay at this hotel was HORRIBLE. I was put in a room in a separate building. The room had NO Air Conditioner, no phone, and no Wifi. There was Wifi in the lobby but it broke down by the 2nd day I was there. The "Breakfast Included" offer is a scam, just one croissant and one hot drink. There was an AC unit in my room so I asked the front desk to turn it on but I was told they do not run it till end of June and that it needed to be serviced. I suspect that they were just being cheap. I went to check out early because of there being no AC and the guy at the desk told me it was an extra 5 Euros but then when I showed him that it was supposed to be included he was going to give me the remote but I was already fed up with them and wanted to leave. They would not offer any refund for the inconvenience. Very rude staff. Also, the key to the room was an old style colonial key so it would have opened up another room in my hallway. You are only given one key so I had to leave the key with my wife so she could lock the door when I left the room, but I was locked out because of it. There is no phone or alarm clock in the room so there is no way to schedule a wake up time. Bathroom is very small too! DO NOT STAY HERE! [...]

Top 7 Reasons NOT to stay in this hotel: 1. Very rude, unhelpful staff 2. Run-down room 3. Smallish-bathroom 4. No amenities whatsoever (soap was given only on the first day of a five-day stay!) 5. Air-conditioning cost extra 5 Euro per night! 6. Location not as close to Termini station as described 7. So-called "included breakfast" consisted of ONE stale croissant and tasteless coffee (also in a small cafe attended by rude staff!)

JUST DON'T DO IT!!! DONT GO THERE!!!!!!

Clean, quiet hotel. We were able to leave bags all day before checking in. Staff gave us a map with alternate ways to get to the sites since the Metro was on strike! Strongly recommend.

Room crowded with furniture but very clean. We had a balcony overlooking a courtyard where we enjoyed a little wine at the end of the day. Staff are friendly, helpful. Most comfortable mattress ever. Located a couple of blocks from the Diocletian Baths,National Museum, subway, bus, & train station (Termini). Colosseum is 1 hour walk or 20 minutes on subway. All other major sites easily reached by bus or metro. Breakfast is coffee & croissant but at least it gets you started.
