This was booked as part of a rail/hotel package so I did not get to choose this hotel. That being said, I did go onto trip advisor prior to our vacation to check out the reviews. The hotel itself is nice. We did not go to Rome to spend much time in the hotel. They have a rooftop garden which... More

Stayed for five nights on a trip to Rome. The staff at the hotel were exceptionally helpful from start to finish, the bar man exceptionally so. This included the reception at check in through to the bar staff. The bar in the hotel provided an excellent place to have a drink on an evening after returning from Rome. The location... More

It is good that the tram way stop in front of the hotel and comfortable bed, possibly the most comfortable bed we had during our trip. Besides, the only thing hot during breakfast was coffee and tea, weak wifi signal, you need to take your device to the salon in front of ground floor bar in order to get wifi,... More

It is an ok budget hotel, but we still expected more. I didn't like that you had to smuggle your food and drinks to the hotel because they were quite upset if they caught you. The wifi area wasnt worth mentioning, often it didnt work at all.. I would also recommend to live closer to the center of Rome.

This hotel is huge and welcomes a lot of school groups. The location is not bad, since it is not very far from Termini. You have a lot of buses and trams in front of the hotel, which is very convenient. The staff at reception is very efficient. They speak English and French fluently and are most helpful. To Italian...

Visited in January, 2013. PROS: Extremely courteous and helpful staff, very clean and well maintained, good nearby restaurants, picturesque location CONS: Location on the SE fringe of most Rome guidebook maps, hotel restaurant is mediocre (but it's your own fault if you choose to eat in hotel restaurants in Italy) As a nice touch, the kitchen prepared a complimentary take...

We have spent three nights in Porta Maggiore hotel in dec 2012. The hotel is close to Termini, near Manzoni and San Giovanni metro stations (5 min walk), close to one of the beautiful basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano (5 minutes walk) and Colloseum, San Clemente church (10min walk). In front of the hotel there are a bus stop... More

Small rooms, very small tv set in room, poor breakfast, friendly staff, wifi only in a small room near reception. Air condition = open window, so none! Walkiing distance to Colosseum and Roma Termini Railway station. Taxi quarters in the square.

After spending 3 nights in Hotel Portamaggiore, i think that it was time to leave. the view from the room was very nice, a beautiful view of Rome. The beds were not too comfortable but i guess i was able to manage. i was not very interested in the food being served at dinner, but some people in my school... More
