3 star Repubblica - Via Nazionale Independent hotels in Rome, Italy

My wife and I spent 5 days in Rome staying at Al Viminale Hill Inn and we have been welcomed by friendly and helpful staff. the overall experience was very positive: the location was perfect for us, 3 min from Termini train station with the tube to go everywhere in Rome, 10 min walking to the Colosseum, in a nice secondary street not busy at night. Our room was a medium size, not huge but big enough to walk comfortably with space for luggages and storage; with 2 big windows, quality furniture and beautiful bathroom. Everything very clean. Anything we needed we could find somebody to help immediately as long as it was within their opening hours which i think is until 8pm, there are phone numbers if you need anything after 8pm but we didn't use them. the only minor downsides are the internet connection, which is included for free for all the devices you want, but in our room was not great and we had to go to the corridor to have decent internet access; the second is breakfast, which is not available but it didn't bother us since there are plenty of coffee shops downstairs where you have cappuccino and croissant at about 2.50 eur. overall great value for money, definitely come back if i travel to Rome and would recommend to anybody who is not travelling for business.

We really enjoyed our stay in the hotel Dorica, it was so centrally located that we only used the metro once and were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. Nice continental breakfast with coffees made to order and fresh pastries between 7 and 9.30. Very friendly staff that were always happy to offer advice or ideas for places to go. Good value for money in a very central location.

I was pleased by where the hotel is situated, which was a very easy five minute walk from the colosseum. The breakfast was great and the children were made to feel comfortable. Good places to eat nearby and easy link to the metro (five minutes walk). My family and I had a smashing time much improved due to location and pleasant reception from the hotel staff.

Enjoyed the variety and selection at breakfast which sets you up for the day. Location is ideal - walking distance from many sightseeing places if fit and well - if not - we took taxis to a pick up points for our tours. Enjoyed relaxing at night with no noise from traffic or tourists, etc - a good night's sleep. Hotel was kept very clean, neat and tidy - change of linen and towels every day which made a difference plus great to have tea / coffee / fridge facilities in each room - unfortunately no milk but could buy some and keep in fridge was very convenient. Tried out the many restaurants near by - good value and excellent food and service. Hotel staff were exceptionally welcome, extremely helpful and friendly. Enjoyed our three nights stay in this hotel and wold recommend to family and friends in future. Would like to visit Rome again in the near future as there is a lot of history and plenty to see and do - a memorable holiday.

The staff were extremely helpful and cheerful, and always willing to help. The rooms are incredibly spacious and comfortable. Everything is within walking distance; some tourist sites (Colloseum, Forum, Venezia), all modes of transport, and restaurants and shops. Very nice area and felt safe the entire time we were there.

Very cozy small hotel with friendly front desk service at all hours; buffet breakfast was quite extensive, and the location was excellent.

This hotel is small (only about 17 rooms I believe) but it was very comfortable for our 5 day stay in Rome. The hotel was recommended to us due to it's central Rome location and the recommendation was spot on - you are in walking distance of all the major sites. We only used the metro line once and that was to get over the river to Vatican City. The rest of the time we walked (Trevi fountain, Pantheon, Colosseum etc etc) The hotel staff were friendly and very helpful - they even loaned us some pliers to help break into our suitcase when we lost the key! :) Breakfast is a simple continental affair but it was nevertheless nice and fresh every morning. A map is provided to all guests and the staff are happy to discuss directions with you regarding where you wish to visit - they also book tables at restaurants or taxis for you. We felt that the hotel was very secure and didn't feel the need to use the provided safe. To get to your room someone would have to go through a solid outer door, through a courtyard, up onto the 3rd floor, past the 24hr reception, through your key entry door and into your room. Overall a very good hotel and we will be staying here again next time we are in Rome.

Stayed 4 days at the Lirico Hotel and from our arrival until departure everything was first class. Staff were friendly and very helpful, great advice on where to eat and nothing was too much trouble for them.. Great location and being so central it is easy to get around either by bus, metro or you can walk to a lot of the attractions. Breakfast is continental and there is a great choice. We would certainly recommend this hotel to family and friends

We stayed here for 4 nights in September 2013, definitely needed more time as there is so much to see. We chose this hotel on reading the reviews and were very happy we picked this one, would definitely stay here again, it was within walking distance of the main station, metro even closer, hop on hop off bus and some of the main attractions.

This is a good hotel very convenient to many Roman sites. It's on a quiet side street, yet very close to the Termini station, the Coloseum and other attractions. Cheap, too. Especially for a family of four traveling together. Our room was very quiet and comfortable, and the AC worked -- most of the time. The staff was very helpful -- a shout out to night manager Francesco who was friendly and invaluable. One caveat. Be careful about their restaurant recommendations. We took the advice one night, and it was not a success.
