If you look for an unfriendly 4 star hotel on a noisy area and love to have breakfast drinking orange juice (actually water with some powder) in a plastic glass, this hotel is the place to be. The most striking thing was how cold and unfriendly the staff was, the hotel restaurant average and extremely overpriced. The location too far... more

I am afraid that the only points I scored by booking this site seeing trip for my wife and her sister were for the site seeing. The report that follows is on their behalf and a result of what they told me about the trip. If it had been me I would have walked to another hotel I am sure.... more

We have just returned from a very hot (35-39 degrees), yet enjoyable weekend in Rome, staying at the Donna Laura. Having read previous reviews, we were aware of some people's comments/complaints, but wanted to reassure future readers that our stay was trouble free and a relaxing break away. We found the service impeccable, from bar staff, wait staff through to... more

Donna Laura Palace Roma The place is located right next to the river Tiber. The rooms are clean and nicely furnished. Vaticano and Piazza del Popolo are within walkable distance (20 – 30min). Metro Station Lepanto is a 10 Minutes walk. Anyhow in June 06 I had a weekend there with my girlfriend and I was very disappointed. The main... more

We stayed here for 3 nights at (thurs to Sun) just before the bank holiday. The hotel arranged for a taxi to pick us up from the airport (called Angelo), he was brilliant. Everyone in Rome drives fast and he was no exception!! If you mail the hotel direct, they will give you a fixed price. Angelo drove out of... more

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in April 2005. It is located on a busy road but set back a little so the noise was not excessive. It is close enough to the Vatican but not much else (sightseeing wise) We found the staff very unfriendly. We returned one evening from a long day of sightseeing only to... more

I read all the reviews and they're all pretty accurate. With one exception. Well two, but one is waaaaay more important! The less important one is regarding staff at the reception: not very friendly or helpful and at times acting as if they've never spoken english before. The other one is regarding the SAFE in the room!!! Don't trust it!... more

We stayed at the Donna Lauren Palace during the first part of OCtober 2005. Initially we wanted a reasonably priced hotel which was in the area of Rome reasonably close to the Vatican. The hotel was just under $200 a night. The hotel is located on a busy street used by commuters. It is set back from the street and... more

My family and I stayed 4 nights at the Donna Laura Palace. The staff was nice but neither person at the front desk spoke a lot of English but they tried. We had one of the suites (room 411) and the room was very nice for a family. It slept four but I would definitly recommend it for two because... more
