I was a little worried when my taxi pulled up to the hotel.....it looks nothing like the picture shown here. But it was a different story inside....lobby is very small, but my room was great! Spotlessy clean and very quiet. The decor was lovely and the bed was comfortable especially after my long train ride to Rome. The neighborhood looks... more

Just returned from a 3 night stay and would have no worries about staying there again.Staff were helpful and very friendly,Hotel and rooms were spotless and the breakfast of rolls,coissants and jams were more than adequate to start the day.Restaurant and bar do not seem to be used but then Rome is a city to be enjoyed at night as... more

Arrived on a Friday night- welcomed by a very friendly gentleman. Once all our details were taken he proceeded to tell us that they had a problem with their water and that we had to stay in a hotel accross the road- Hotel Porta Maggiora. In exchange for us spending the night in a different hotel he said he would... more

Where to begin? Just got back from a 4-nite stay above, read all the reviews & thought I made a smart choice--I was wrong. I'm writing this to assist others who are considering options as I did. Would be OK for a nite or two for single traveler, otherwise I'd stay elsewhere. First, location is at least a 10-15min walk... more

My girlfriend and I spent six nights at this Hotel. We found from the moment we arrived that the man on the desk was delightful and very helpful. He also apologized he could not escort us to our rooms, although this was not necessary anyway as it was located just on the left on the top floor (4th) and we... more

Fantastic staff who were exceedingly helpful. Gave us great suggestions for walking tours of the area and good maps. Hotel is about a 10 minute walk from Termini or near trolley and bus routes. A little far from the Vatican but convenient to the Colosseum. Nice churches to tour nearby. Great little restaurant Tavola Calda in the circle nearby with... more

The Hotel Donatello is in the "lower-priced tourist" area of Rome but we found the staff to be wonderful and very helpful. The first night the hotel was full so we were escorted by the owner over to another hotel. Once we returned to the Donatello the next day we were upgraded for our "trouble" to a beautiful double room.... more

Stayed at the Donatello on a weekend break with my husband. Very easy to find from the Termini Rail Station - Catch the 105 bus and it's 4 stops from there, just across the road. First impressions were 'iffy', like the real thing doesn't match any web photos! Area is a little run down, lots of graffiti but that's true... more

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights as part of a "build your own" vacation from Gate 1. The hotel was "as expected". Not in the city center, but not far from the metro station "Manzoni". It was very easy to get there from termini, we just had a hard time finding the hotel on th street. The location... more
