Terrible
First of all, I read the reviews on *********** and Ctrip before booking. After checking in, I was shocked that few people mentioned the soundproofing problem of the hotel. It was just a cardboard room. My whole family wore earmuffs and earplugs for four days and didn't sleep well for a single day. The first noise came from the foreigners in other rooms dancing and screaming late at night, as excited as if they were on *****. The second noise came from the front desk. It was the first time in my life that I saw a room so close to the front desk. Although one was on the first floor and the other on the ground floor, they were really close to each other. It was inevitable that I was disturbed by all kinds of noises from the front desk. The third one came from the buzzing mosquitoes at night. The fourth one came from the window of the room facing the open-air bar directly. The fifth one came from the cleaning staff. They started cleaning early in the morning every day, using vacuum cleaners, dragging beds and tables, and their hands and feet were not ordinary heavy. The soundproofing of the room was terrible, so they just didn't let you sleep at night, let alone during the day.
Second, it is very far from all scenic spots, delicious and popular restaurants, and the airport. A normal four-star hotel in the city is several hundred RMB more expensive than this La Ville Hotel. I booked this hotel just to take advantage of this small bargain. Staying in cheap hotels in remote suburbs does work in some other European cities, but Rome's public transportation system is quite backward. Most scenic spots and food can't be reached by subway from the hotel. You can get there by bus, but it is much more complicated to sit in the right direction, buy bus tickets, and successfully punch the tickets on the bus than in a normal city. Therefore, Rome's public transportation system is basically unfriendly and does not want tourists to ride it. Moreover, you have to change buses several times to go to all places. People who lack travel experience, lack leg strength, come to Rome for the first time, or are reluctant to take a taxi should never save a few hundred dollars. It's better to stay in a normal hotel in the city. I think even the hotel behind the train station is better than this one.
Thirdly, I seriously suspect that the hotel was converted from a private house (villa), so each guest room is basically the same as the previous rooms. It is conceivable that there can be no good sound insulation between the rooms in your own home. The privacy is certainly not good at all, and you can even hear the people next door taking a shower or taking a ****. Anyway, it's basically a B&B, and it has almost all the shortcomings of a B&B. Personally, I really dislike this type of hotel converted from private houses, but many foreigners have a special liking for this type. I have unfortunately booked this type of hotel many times. Their booking ratings are generally higher than the actual level, so if you don’t like B&Bs, don’t be fooled by the 9.5 points on booking.
Fourth, the facilities are very old, especially the air-conditioning control panel, which has deep and small buttons. Every time I put my fingernails in, I break them and still cannot press them.
Fifth, the breakfast buffet closes too early, and it closes on time at 10 o'clock and kicks people out. Other hotels have a deadline for not taking food, but they don't let people eat inside.
