Guest Reviews
- Antonio (10/5): da prenotare - ottimo,ben servito dai mezzi pubbllici,pulito
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Really good location. Simple but comfortable accommodation.
- Deiziane (10/5): Um sucesso - Excelente. O hotel é localizado em um prédio que me parece tbm residencial. As donas muito simpáticas nos receberam na chegada e foram muito cordiais. Quarto extremamente limpo, espaçoso e bem decorado. Lá nos sentimos em casa. Tem uma varanda ótima pra secar roupa, dá até pra levar um varal dobrável ou as donas poderiam disponibilizar no futuro. Tivemos um pequeno problema com falta d'água em um dia mas em poucas horas foi resolvido. A localização do hotel é excelente, fica perto de tudo e é muito fácil para chegar até a estação principal de ônibus que é a Termini que faz ligação com o aeroporto Fiumicino e tbm com o metrô. Quando ficarem no Porta Pia almocem ou jantem no restaurante Tribeca que fica na mesma calçada do lado esquerdo pra quem está olhando de frente pra porta. Comida excelente e um dos donos que é um careca cujo nome não me recordo é muito simpático e acolhedor. Estadia top. Voltaria a ficar lá com certeza.
- Andrea (8/5): 9/10 - Todo esta tal cual las imagenes , super limpio , muy amable la persona de recepcion habla español , lo que si es que luego de registrarnos nunca mas la volvimos a ver , hay un señor que creo que es el encargado de la limpieza que lo queda viendo a uno con cara de muy pocos amigos, eso no me gusto para nada ya que sentia que me intimidaba , pero fuera de eso la estancia super bien , agradable , lugar limpio , cerca de varios lugares turisticos que puedes ir caminando como la fontana di trevi queda como 20 min. caminando que ni los sientes porque vas conociendo. No pusieron jabon de baño para bañarse , ninguna de las 2 noches que estuvimos.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Central location, clean room and big bed. But that’s about it. No staff present if you have any questions or issues. A family or group of friends had a huge party all night long in their room. It is the responsibility of the hotel to ensure the rooms do not turn into a private club. Did not want to go argue with drunk neighbours at 2 o clock in the morning in my night gown...
- Verified traveler (8/5): - I loved the size of the rooms, you won’t find anything close to that anywhere in Rome. It was very clean and the check in was a lot easier than I expected. The B&B is relatively close to all the tourists attractions which is nice but getting a taxi is hard. It would have been nice to have some at the B&B to ask questions to, it wasn’t until the day we left after several calls to the Taxi company that we realized there was a Taxi stand right by the B&B. The walls are very thin and you can hear what other guests are saying, we had the misfortune of having two very loud guests on opposite sides of our room. Be prepared to leave 15 minutes earlier than you expect to leave to be able to get a taxi out.
- JUAN (8/5): BUENA - BUENA
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Das Zimmer war modern und groß. Das Personal hilfsbereit und freundlich. Die Lage ist des Hotels ist super.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - L’accueil à l'hôtel était très bien, la propriétaire était très gentille et agréable, cependant la chambre n’était pas prête à notre arrivée malgré que nous ayons prévenue de cette heure.
La chambre était très très belle et propre. Il n’y a par contre aucune insonorisation, nous avons donc entendu les autres personnes aller et venir, parler et ce peu importe l’heure (dérangeant à 2h et 7h du matin pour notre part).
Enfin le petit déjeuner n’offre que du café ou du thé au niveau de l’accueil.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - in realtà non risponde affatto alla valutazione recensita.
- L.B (4/5): - Diese Unterkunft ist kein Bed and Breakfast ,es gab kein Frühstück nur einen keks.
Die Zimmer sind sehr verwohnt. Der badezimmertisch ist billiges holz und quillt schon auf, so doll das der wasserhahn schief ist .
Es gab keine vernünftige decke ,nur ein Laken.
Preis Leistung passt ganz und garnicht .
- Manfred (4/5): - Die Dusche ist mega klein, 1Handtuchhalter und der ist auch noch abgefallen. Man hat nur den Heizkörper für die Handtücher. Leider keinen Kleiderschrank nur eine Garderobenstange. Also lebt man aus dem Koffer. Die Unterkunft war bei unserer Buchung in 07/2018 deklariert als Superior-Zimmer ( King) mit Wlan und Frühstück. Bei unserer Reise vom 06.-10.04.2019 gab es in dieser Unterkunft kein Frühstück mehr. Niemand hielt es für nötig die Reisegäste die vor Ort waren darauf hinzuweisen. Das ist mir bei anderen Reisen und Veranstaltern so noch nie passiert. Schade
- Alessia (10/5): Tre stelle non bastano!! - Camera molto bella e accogliente, materasso molto comodo, bagno abbastanza grande e comodo, il tutto davvero pulito e presentato con cura.. sono rimasta piacevolmente sorpresa!
L’unico piccolo difetto: sul sito c’è scritto che il phon è già compreso nella camera, ma purtroppo è davvero piccolo e non fa aria calda quindi consiglio di portarlo da casa!
Del resto io e la mia amica siamo state davvero contente! Grazie Porta Pia Rooms!!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Einfache ordentliche Zimmer. Gut mit dem Bus zu erreichen am Rande der Altstadt. Gab nichts zu meckern
- Verified traveler (10/5): ΑΠΟΛΑΥΣΤΙΚΗ ΔΙΑΜΟΝΗ - Ταξιδέψαμε πρώτη φορά στο εξωτερικό, είχαμε κάνει την κράτηση μέσω της ιστοσελίδας HOTELS.COM χωρίς καμία προκαταβολή. Τελικά η διαμονή μας ήταν εξαιρετικά οργανωμένη. Αυτό που με εντυπωσίασε ήταν η άμεση ανταπόκριση του προσωπικού, όταν χρειάστηκε να επικοινωνήσω με email ώστε να επιβεβαιώσω ότι είναι όλα έτοιμα με την κράτηση μας, λιγες μέρες πριν το ταξίδι μας. Έλαβα αμέσως απάντηση και μάλιστα η υπάλληλος μου ανέλυσε κάθε απαραίτητη πληροφορία, κάτι που εκτίμησα πολύ!!Στο κατάλυμα Porta Pia rooms μας περίμενε η ιδιοκτήτρια η οποία μας εξήγησε τις λεπτομέρειες της διαμονής μας, μας έδειξε εκτενώς το δωμάτιο , το οποίο ήταν ακριβώς όπως στις φωτογραφίες, και μας προσέφερε πρόσβαση σε πρωινό χωρίς να το χρεωθούμε. Το δωμάτιο ήταν πεντακάθαρο, καθε μέρα υπήρχε υπηρεσία καθαριότητας και το κατάλυμα ήταν κοντά σε στάση ΜΜΜ κάτι που διευκόλυνε πολύ την μετακίνησή μας!
- papounet (6/5): - B and B , ou plutôt chambre dans un appartement au 4ème étage avec ascenseur ,où nous avons séjourner sans jamais rencontrer les propriétaires .Nous avions informé l'hôtel de notre arrivée à 20h30 , une personne était venue pour nous ouvrir la porte de l'immeuble , pour encaisser les taxes de séjour (3€50 / jour / personne ) , les 20 € pour arrivée tardive , et pour la remise des clés . Pas de PDJ sur place mais boisson chaude accompagnée d'une viennoiserie surgelée à prendre dans un bar de la rue les jours d'ouverture . Logement mal insonorisé , il faut se faire discret .A 100 m bus directs pour Termini , le métro le plus proche est à 15mn de marche. Sur place marché couvert ,2 supermarchés de quartier , et de nombreux restaurants ,quartier agréable loin de la foule .
- Verified traveler (6/5): Basic clean and tidy - Staff were friendly and helpful and the room clean and tidy and pleasant. However, building was undergoing renovations and was extremely noisy especially in the morning at 7:30 am.
Breakfast was a croisant and hot drink from a cafe across the road which was nice but no options for vegan or gluten free and not enough of a breakfast for walking miles in the city! Breakfast was supposedly included for 4 days but we only had this for 2 mornings.
Tea & coffee facilities were provided outside the room but not replenished over the 4 days we stayed.
Overall a good stay for the money but needs improvement.
- bobtail84 (8/5): ANNEXE D UN HOTEL SANS REFERENT - Je n'ai pas apprécié de devoir payer 20 euros car arrivé à 18h30....le rendez vous devrait se faire à l'hotel avec du personnel qui nous accompagne à notre iimmeuble...pas de petit déjeuner le dimanche au café d'en face...sinon chambre propre...OK.
- Karin (8/5): Tolle Frühstückspension, aber.... - Tolle Pension, super freundliche und kompetente Besitzer und Raumpfleger. Für das Frühstück erhält man einen Gutschein für eine Trattoria in der Via Messina, wo man leckere Croissants und 1 Kaffee bekommt.
Auch eine Pizzeria/ Vinothek ist in der Straße die ein mediterranes Wahnsinnsbuffett zu einem unglaublichen Preis von €11,- inkl 1 Getränk anbietet. Man kann da aber auch al la Cart essen.
Die Markthalle der Römer ist ebenfalls in der Via Messina.
Aber leider:
*sehr weit weg vom Zentrum ca. 15min Metro und dann noch 20min zu Fuß. Nach Sightseeing und Shopping unglaublich anstrengend, bze kommt man morgens schon müde am Ziel an....
*vom Flughafen mit Taxi zur Pension fällt man aus dem städtlichen Taxi Fixpreis, weil die Pension so weit vom Zentrum entfernt ist. Das heißt für eine Fahrt vom Flughafen Fiumicino muss man bis zu €60,- rechnen plus €1,- pro Gepäck
- Verified traveler (10/5): Hotel muy acogedor - Muy lindo lugar cerca de todo lo que uno quisiera conocer
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Rapporto qualità prezzo assolutamente insufficiente
- Elodie (8/5): Bon rapport qualité prix - Chambre agréable et spacieuse, literie confortable, salle de bain fonctionnelle.
Le petit déjeuner (boisson chaude et viennoiserie) se prend dans un petit café très agréable en face.
On a aimé l'emplacement un peu excentré des lieux touristique. Bien desservit par les transports en communs. Beaucoup de restaurants aux alentours de qualité et prix convenable.
On ne regrette pas notre choix, on recommande.
- Karen (10/5): - Ótima opção, com boa localização e alguns mimos à parte como chá e café à vontade na recepção. O bulezinho de chá dentro do quarto é um charme!
- ETTORE ENRICO (10/5): Buon soggiorno in area vicina al centro storico. - Stanze molto comode ed accessoriate. Posizione centrale in zona molto ben servita da mezzi e commerci. Pochi minuti ai luoghi d'interesse. Ottima ospitalità e disponibilità del personale.
- Jasmin (10/5): - Excellent room everything you need the only downside is that it was a little too far to walk but we did and there are plenty of buses to take you around.
- Sanne (8/5): Leuk hotel in het midden van rome - Dichtbij termini: goed alles te bereiken met OV. Slechte communicatie van expedia met het hotel, ze wisten niet dat we kwamen. Hotel heeft het wel goedgemaakt. Eten was oké, we aten voornamelijk wat in de stad.
- ron (8/5): betaalbaar alternatief voor een verblijf in Rome - Porte Pia Rooms ligt net iets buiten het centrum. De bus halte is om de hoek bij het Porte PIA Plein. De bussen brengen je zo naar alle bezienswaardigheden of naar Het centraal station Termini. Ook ligt de metrohalte Castro Pretorio op 15 minuten lopen. Dat is best te doen. Wij hadden de familie kamer geboekt.
Deze kamer is groot genoeg voor een gezin met 2 kinderen tot 14 jaar. Het is geen hotel maar een bed en breakfast.
De mensen zijn vriendelijk. Je kan koffie en thee zetten bij het barretje.
een ding wat je moet weten is het ontbijt. Dit is in een klein koffiebarretje Materiaprima aan de overzijde van de straat. Leuk koffie tentje, echter verwacht niet te veel van het ontbijt. Dit is op zijn Italiaans . Koffie met een croissant of een cakeje. Maar niet minder leuk.
- Lindy (4/5): Worst experience ever - In 2016 we were in Rome and we stayed at a beautiful hotel with a lot of good variety on breakfast which is why we chose Rome again. When we saw the reception, that's when we started panicking, then we hoped that the room and other things will be up to standard. THIS Porta Pia Rooms is MISREPRESENTED. It spoiled everything, my 9 year old daughter started crying, begging me to look for another place. Then when we thought the worst was over it kept getting worst, the breakfast, the air conditioning, the fridge, had also internet problems. When i asked her to adjust the temperature on the fridge, she didn't like it, it was like I was bothering her. Why will you do this to people??seriously.., I had to control my anger because my kids. Why do people pay for breakfast?? I feel like I have to be compensated some how.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Estancia acogedora - No tenemos ningún pero a nuestra estancia, habitación acogedora y el personal muy agradable, muy atentos con cualquier cosa que necesites.
- claude (8/5): Séjour très agréable - Nous avons été très bien accueilli par Francesca. La chambre était tout confort. L'hôtel est bien situé est assez proche de la Villa borghese, et également bien équipé(boissons froides et chaudes, séche cheveux, gel douche...). Le seul bémol était le petit déjeuner un peu léger mais la commerçante était gentille. Je recommande cet hôtel.
- A. P. (8/5): Nähe zur Bushaltestelle, schöner Stadtteil - Porta Pia als Stadtteil sehr zentral. BUSHALTESTELLE Nr 62, 60 und weitere inder Nähe. Restaurants und Cafés direkt in der Umgebung. Francesca (Vermieterin) hat uns ohne zu zögern geholfen, da uns so das Portemonnaie incl. allem gestohlen wurde. Sehr, sehr gerne wieder!!!
- Rebeca (10/5): Centrally located - I had an awesome stay here at porta pia rooms. Rooms are very clean and spacious. Very close to Metro station about .06 miles. Thank you !
- marina (8/5): Clean, confortable and nice stuff. - Be aware that stuff is there 10am-5 pm
Breakfast is at MateriaPrima Bar (Carlo is exelente)
Very close to porta Pia and 20 minutes walk from Termini Rail Station.
Restaurant at the corner in the same street of Materia prima is very good and w good price!! Remember: coca-cola, sprite etc is very expensive in Rome.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Gutes Appatrment für City Trip - Sind mit dem bei expedia gebuchten Shuttel service vor dem Haus entlassen worden. Rezeption war besetzt ,freundlich gutes englisch sprechend.
Haben direkt die Tourismus Steuer bezahlt ging auch mit bank Karte.
Anschließend direkte Zimmer übergabe.
Zimmer war Sauber und Modern eingerichtet.
Man sieht ein paar Gebrauchs Spuren und kleine schwarze Silikonfugen aber das sind nunmal Gebrauchs Spuren.
Aber für den preis muss man halt dir Kirche im. Dorf lassen und sagen das es Gut war!
Täglich wurde aufgeräumt betten ordentlich gemacht und neue Handtücher gehängt.
Das Bett ist ziemlich Weich.
Metro war knapp 8 minuten entfernt
Bushalte direkt in der Nähe
Gute Anbindung also.
Einzige kleine Mankos waren ;
Zimmer waren ziemlich Hellhörig wenn jemand durch den Flur trampelt hört man es sehr.
Das Frühstück besteht nur aus einem Kaffee und einem Croissant im Kaffee gegenüber aber dafür beides sehr lecker und der wirt spricht auch gut englisch haben es immer to go mitgenommen und sind gleich zur metro.
Zusammen gefasst waren eine Woche da und für City Trip echt okay wenn man nicht viel Anforderungen hat und es modern und sauber mag.
- adriano (10/5): - Un weekend a Roma arrivando in treno, il B&B è a 10 minuti a piedi dalla stazione Termini, quindi perfetto.
si trova in una via laterale, qundi non si sente il rumore del traffico, semmai l'unico "neo" è il rumore proveniente dal corridoio e quindi da altre stanze, ma in complesso direi ottimo!
La colazione (solo un caffè e una brioche) è servita da un bar li vicino; se non fosse abbastanza, un latte macchiato ed una pasta in più costano 2.20 euro!
Ottima la disponibilità delle titolari del B&B, anche per eventualmente lasciare i bagagli tutto il giorno in reception dopo aver fatto il checkout se ad esempio si parte la sera (nostro caso)...
- Verified traveler (6/5): Affittacamere economico ma attenzione al check-in - La mia esperienza è stata piuttosto positiva. La struttura è curata e la stanza è piuttosto spaziosa, con arredamento essenziale e di gusto. Anche lo spazio in bagno e del box doccia è sufficiente. Letto comodo. Buona connessione wi-fi. All'ingresso ci sono cialde del caffè e tè a disposizione dei clienti. La colazione è servita in un bar situato di fronte alla struttura, molto buono e carino, unica pecca per chi lascia presto la struttura è che apre alle 8.
Unica nota negativa è per i costi del check-in extra orario, troppo elevati, da 10 a 20 euro, fate attenzione. Inoltre, nel mio caso, prenotando su Hotels.com, non erano indicati ed è stata una brutta sorpresa. Nonostante questo, mi sono stati ugualmente addebitati. Normalmente le carenze di comunicazione non dovrebbero andare a discapito del cliente.
Per il resto tutto ok.
- Brenda (8/5): Prima kamer - Leuke locatie met veel activiteit (markt, winkeltjes en restaurantjes). Goed ontvangst bij aankomst. Prima verzorging tijdens ons verblijf .
- Jacques (6/5): Hôtel chic et pas cher, mais prestations inégales - Déco sympa, prestations sympas, confort global très agréable.
Propreté impeccable, voire un peu trop (j'apprécie, écologiquement, de ne pas changer mes serviettes toutes les 24h).
A savoir : Il s'agit d'un ancien très grand appartement qui a été tout rénové et morcelé en chambres d'hôtel, d'où l'excellent rapport qualité-prix.
Les inconvénients sont : les prestations de l'accueil qui sont quasi inexistantes (même pour l'arrivée à l'hôtel...), et l'isolation phonique qui est bien légère.
Souci pour moi : le lit (très agréable 3 jours) qui s'est révélé trop affaissé, puis rapidement insupportable. J'ai dû dormir les 3 jours restant par terre dans la couette !.. Le seul moyen pour moi d'épargner ma colonne vertébrale en retrouvant une certaine horizontalité.
Je souligne un détail très embêtant, (mais qui devrait être un dysfonctionnement technique passager) : A deux reprises en pleine douche, je n'ai progressivement plus eu d'eau (pression trop basse), ce qui fait que ces deux fois là, je n'ai jamais pu me rincer et me suis servi de la serviette pour enlever le savon. Pas très top...
- Priya (6/5): - Spacious room very basic near a taxi stand and 15 minute walk from the metro. The front desk has limited hours so be sure to ask any questions ahead of time.
- Massimiliano (10/5): Soggiorno perfetto a Roma - È andato tutto meravigliosamente bene. Siamo arrivati prima cheache stanza fosse pronta e la signora è stata così gentile da omaggiarci una colazione in più presso il bar convenzionato. Il fatto di scendere giù per fare colazione può essere una pecca ma per noi assolutamente non lo è stata perché anche il personale del bar è stato gentilissimo. La stanza era bellissima, grandissima e pulitissima , impeccabile in sintesi. Inoltre a qualche metro vi sono le fermate per il bus e una per la metro, quest'ultima a 5 minuti a piedi. Zona bella e tranquilla. Tutto perfetto!
- J S (6/5): Guter Service, abgewohnte Ausstattung! - Wir hatten Zimmer Nummer zwei. Die Türrahmen vom Bad waren kaputt, Matratzen scheinen schon durch gelegen zu sein, und vor allen Ding die Dusche hatt einen sehr rutschigen Boden. Man rutscht hier sehr leicht aus beim duschen.
- M (8/5): - A lovely, cosy hotel and a great location with buses and the metro just around the corner. The only downside was the breakfast cafe was closed so 'breakfast' was a croissant in a packet. Also the people who live upstairs in the apartment block where very noisy. Otherwise a really lovely room, comfortable, clean and nice staff!!
- Tim (6/5): Good, clean hotel in nice location - Hotel is in a nice location for food and travelling into the city and it was kept very clean. Staff are only there between 10-2 and we almost didn't get let into the room upon arrival. Can be an issue if you need information as you aren't generally there when staff are. The walls are too thin which means every sound is heard and can make sleeping a big difficulty.
- Armend (6/5): What you pay is what you get! - Porta Pia rooms is a big apartment, fairly central to centre of Rome's tourist attractions (you can walk to all main attractions, almost, which great), inside residential building, cleverly converted into little/medium rooms, divided through fairly thin wall conversions as you can hear others if they're slightly loud. So, it's NOT hotel or hostel. There's little corridor what the owners call reception with desk and computer, fax, wifi device, a little coffee machine for guests with a selection of coffee pods and various teas. There's occasion croissant in vacum-pressed plastic bag and a crisp or two. All this for staying guests. You will be greeted by fairly welcoming ladies, who I assume are related to this place. You'll be asked to pay additional Rome tax in euros, you'll be shown your room, and then once that is over with, providing you've checked in before 2pm, you'll probably never see anyone at the "reception" again, which can be tricky if you've got problems in your room, bathroom, with wifi or God forbid if there was emergency, as you wouldn't know who to contact??? I didn't notice any number for emergencies. Rooms are fairly newly decorated and ok. You'll find the room clean with fresh linen, towels etc. But if you expect your room to be cleaned, you better think again, as all that the maid will do, is to only tide up your room during your stay, no cleaning, changing of sheets.
- Tony (10/5): Great choice accommodation - For someone who wants to be close to the city centre (30 mins walk) with shops, bars, restaurants outside your doorstep this place is a good choice and also very good value for money
The room was clean, bedding changed every day and plenty of room to move around
Would thoroughly recommend!
Will be booking this accommodation again
- Larry (4/5): No good, stay away!! - First of all this is not a hotel. There is no front desk just someone who will be there when you need to check in and that's it! If you happen to need to check in later in the day when it is not normal operating hours they will charge you an additional fee. The "room" is in a residential building so you will need to be buzzed in when arriving. The room was clean but the AC did not work. We visited Rome in late August and therefore the temperature reaches 90+ degrees everyday therefore a non working AC was not pleasant. When i tried to reach out to the contact who confirmed the reservation they tried to blame the non working AC on the fact that the room was in the part of the building that faces the sun the most and therefore the hottest. I can tell you that the problem was the AC because even when the AC was left running the entire day and we returned the room was still scorching hot! I would not recommend this place to stay for anyone. The rooms were not good, the AC did not work and the personnel was not helpful!
- despo (8/5): Nice place to stay for few days - It was not a hotel but a nice studio/room. For two day stay it was ok.
Air aircondition was just fine but it could be better.
Very nice and helping lady in the reception. Free Nespresso coffee and snacks.
Poor sound Isolation of the rooms.
Minor problem with the key of the main entrance.
Be careful there is no reception desk office during the weekends so if you are arriving on Satturday or Sunday you have to inform them in advance.
- Homairah E (8/5): Lovely - The rooms were beautiful and just 1 minute away from the bus stop (Bus 62 stops at most of the popular tourist sites). I really enjoyed my stay here. The only thing is: dont expect breakfast; a couple of croissants and [good quality] coffee is provided but that is all; not quite breakfast. But other than the breakfast, this guesthouse is excellent.
- Mich (8/5): Clean and functional, could do with personalising - Liked the pics on Expedia site and booked on seeing them. Area is a little way out of Rome but on frequent bus routes, so not an issue, alhough a little far for going back into the centre for an evening. We only did that once, and spent most evenings in one of the local restuaruants, which was fine.
Didn't see other residents, as it isn't a hotel, so it felt a bit insular.
Getting into the Porta Pia rooms reception is a little difficult if you have trouble with steps as there is a huge step (5-6 inch) just inside the door - had I known, it would have made me have second thoughts as I have issues with steps. My husband had to help me up each time. Perhaps should mention this on details.
- Alexandros (10/5): Very close to the city center by bus or tube. - We liked a lot the place. It was very convenient, clean, very spacious and very kind and helpful people.
We have already reccomended the place to a couple of friends they will visit Rome.
