Not impressed as we walked in to a fairly nice reception and were taken to some terrible building "behind the nice reception" with a disgusting lift to an bedroom that did not impress us at all.. Breakfast is to run away from.. Stay well clear from this hotel. More

Two nights in January with no need to test the air-condition. Room a bit run down but clean and plenty of space. Not the best english-speakers at the reception, but really no big problem. Breakfast ok. To be in a rough and noisy area, not the worst choise. More

Wow, this was horrible. The hotel's own internet site says that rooms have minibars and TVs. What a joke. Not only did we get a bare room with no TV, no minibar, no phone, no internet, but it also was missing fairly standard things like a means of egress! In fact, our room had no window, no ventilation whatsoever and... More

First of all, if you are planning your holiday in Rome from Serbia, don't ever do it through Kontiki travel agency: they will put you in the hotel you didn't choose, which you are told at the airport (when there is nothing you can do about it :-(. I agree with the most horrible comments I read on this Trip... More

We arrived late and the walk from station dodgy (esp for females). The night watchman does not speak any English and was of no help. He also took our passports off us, which I was very uncomfortable with. The rooms were VERY down at heel, with the lamps being broken, the shower broken and the blanket was simply gross. The... More

Good location for train station. But rooms were really old and the service at breakfast (which stops at 9.30!) was a little bit rude. Also, our door had been forced to be opened (before we arrived), it is not a safe place in the city. More

Hotel California is located near Termini Station, but far enough to be away from some of the "traffic" - about 5 - 10 minutes walk. Their website was helpful BUT I found making the booking a little confusing - I ended up calling to confirm the rate & dates of stay as I could not believe how informal they were... More

4 nights in mid-July with air-con that switches off after 2 mins!!!! Need I say more? We thought the lift hilarious - high point of stay! Rooms - down-at-heel - linen clean, fridge cold - but that's it! Breakfast was POOR - very little on offer and what was, very poor quality. Location a bit rough but we had no... More

This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The sheets were very rough, the pillows were flat, the comforter was old, had cigarette burns and did not smell like it had been washed in quite some time. The refrigerator did not get cold. As for the air conditioning, you have no control over it. It barely comes on... More
