Hotels near Fontana della Minerva in Rome

I'm sure that each of us has his own scale of factors to evaluate whether a place is beautiful or ugly but that the added value is the people. In this clean, nice and very comfortable hotel, near the Roma Termini station, it is precisely the people who make a small hotel a point of reference for our trips to Rome. Paola from the reception was, and is, the person who followed us during the booking process and who went out of her way to help us project our photographs on a wall, in a small room set up just for us, a small group of photographers arrived in town for a two day photography course. Thanks Thanks Thanks dear Paola, you are invaluable for the hotel and for the people who stay with you.. an infinite thanks from all of us. Federica

The first hotel to stay after arriving in Italy, 7-8 minutes walk from the subway station. There is a bus at the door to the Plaza de Espana. Because the surrounding areas are residential areas, it feels that prices are much cheaper than scenic spots. The bed at Best Western is still very comfortable, but the Italian double bed is composed of two beds. If there are children sleeping, it is better to make a large bed.

We stayed here initially as part of a group tour and added a couple of days onto the end. We were concerned it might not be central, but it’s a fantastic location. Walk to station is ok but also only a cheap taxi ride. The area has loads of great local restaurants and bars . They were safe and friendly plus the food was really well priced and local delicious delights. The hotel has everything you need, clean, great showers, good breakfast. Plus if you arrive early or late there’s fridges etc that dispense bottles of wine 6 euros or water plus snacks. The staff are friendly and efficient Wifi great Couldn’t recommend more

Hotel di media fascia che gode di una particolarità difficile da trovare in questo periodo: la cordialità, la semplicità, la cortesia e la grande preparazione professionale dello staff che opera nella reception e nella sala colazione. Ineccepibili. Assolutamente ineccepibili!

Pleasant Hotel, at a great location, the staff are friendly and helpful with their guidance, able to leave bags for storage, very useful. Good size room clean and tidy, could of have some teabags or coffee to accompany the kettle, breakfast is nice but would like a little more variety, the only other moan is would have preferred the 3rd floor as opposed the 6th, being a little older the stairs to floor 6 can be gruelling after a day trekking around Rome, was slightly concerned about the antiquated lift, though having said that, it did work well and was a lovely feature.

We stayed at Hotel Torino with a group. I would not recommend this hotel. The bed mattresses were completely worn out, no blankets on bed so we had to use ancient bedspreads. Hot water took 10 min to reach shower but if you tried to add cold to adjust temp, all hot water vanished. The hot shower was a trickle. Bathroom shampoo was powered and unusable. Breakfast was mediocre - fresh fruits were non-existent, coffee was not good, pastries were unappetizing, and boiled eggs severely over cooked. Thank goodness for the the granola which was delicious. Very few breakfast options nearby so we were stuck with the hotel choices. Our 7th floor room did not automatically lock, so room had to be locked from inside with key as well as locked with key whenever we left room. Other rooms in hotel did not have this issue. Keys had hotel name and room number plastered on the keychain which is a security issue if lost. Wifi dropped constantly. The safe did work and the room was made up each day (though our group had varied experience with housekeeping making up the rooms). If we had not been with a group, we would have left and found new accommodations.

The hotel is lovely and clean, and air conditioning included. Breakfast is good. Good location to Termini, where you can get a train directly to the airport. There are a couple of lovely Italian restaurants just around the corner. Close to the metro also, but be very careful, full of pick pockets. We walked to colleuseum from hotel. The Trevi fountain, Spanish steps are walking distance too, but you might want to take a coffee break half way. The host is lovely and very friendly. Room was cleaned every day. Very happy with our stay at the hotel.

Just got back from a city break in Rome, we loved the city and everything we did there. Then we come to the hotel so I will start with the very few good points. The young lady on reception when we arrived was very nice and friendly. Our room was cleaned daily and bed made and fresh towels left and we slept ok. Now the bad : firstly when we walked into the room i notuced there was no information about anything which i have never come across before, lots of scuff marks on walls, no TV remote (when i asked about it was told you have to use buttons on tv), no tea/coffee making facilities including no cups or glasses, , no hairdryer, broken headboard on bed, bathroom was very dated (certainly didn't look like the photos on the website), the shower head had more water coming out of one side than the other and wouldn't adjust,old mismatched furniture ( wobbly tv table). We booked bed and breakfast which wasnt on the premises, you had to get a card from reception each morning, walk up the road to a small bar where you had a coffee and a pastry, that was breakfast. I definitely wouldn't say the 3-star rating is justified more like a 2 star. If you just want somewhere to sleep, then I'm sure it would be fine for you, but it certainly isn't somewhere to go back to and relax. As a suggestion, I think they could easily provide a kettle, cups, hairdryer, and charge a deposit which you would get back when you left. I missed waking up and having a hot drink whilst getting ready to go out.

Hotel location is slightly off, but close to the subway station, about 8 minutes walk. The hotel belongs to the kind of sparrow that is small and complete. Facilities and services are still ok, the right price. The hotel is 5 minutes away from the right hand side and there is a cheap Chinese restaurant. There is a big supermarket in the next 5 minutes. It is very convenient. Breakfast is not bad.

The hotel is located very near to the Termini Station with easy access to most locations in Rome. The rooms have a bit of old-style charm and are spacious and comfortable, especially when travelling with multiple family members. The buffet breakfast at the top floor offers a wide variety of good-quality items, and is truly a highlight at this hotel. The service staff is friendly and attentive, and will rush to your aid when experiencing any difficulties. The cleaning staff helped us when we were having issues with the key, and the desk staff helped us change to a different room without any questions asked. Truly very friendly.
