Score from 117 reviews
When in Rome it is important to have good access to public transportation and a central location that lets you reach the main attractions by foot; Hotel Galatea is ideal. Set on the corner of Via Nazionale you are right in the heart of one of the most popular shopping districts in Rome, a 10 minute walk from Termini Train Station. Each guest room boasts a modern design and comes with air conditioning. A continental breakfast is included in the room rate. Ask at reception about guided tours around Rome and airport shuttle service. The Galatea Hotel is close to the popular neighborhood of Monti where you can find plenty of typical wine bars and restaurants. The Roman Forum and Coliseum are around a 10 minute walk away. In addition, you are just a few hundred yards from metro stops on both city lines; perfect for traveling further afield.

Hotel is central and we used public transport to get around. Staff very, helpful. Don't be put off by the communal stair access or the lift only working from the first floor. Lift was interesting and only worked from the first floor.

We looked for a good price near the train station (Termini) with good reviews. While this hotel was in a great location, however it was equally far from a few metro stations (e.g. Republica, Cavour etc.) We walked from here to Trevi, Colosseum. Except for one guy, staff wasn't very friendly. This guy however showed us on the map what to visit. There are supermarkets nearby. Est Est Est nearby is a great place. Internet connection was unreliable. Breakfast was boring, no meat (ham, bacon, sausage etc.) served. Croissant was dry and too sweet. Coffee wasn't great. The hotel is located on the 3rd floor of an old house where the lift is prone to "break". You need to close all three doors so that it will work. If anyone forgets to do so, you can stand forever waiting for the lift. TV only had Italian channels.

Centrally located but was hard to find initially. Clean room. Breakfast consists of cold croissant and cold cake. There was no ham/cheese/fresh fruits. In short, it was not worth to include breakfast during the hotel stay. Hotel is located at level 3 of a private apartment and its lift was old and rusty. You have an alternative to walk 3 flights of stairs up to your room though, so this is not a big issue for young folks. But more mature travelers may want to take this into consideration. Hot water system was spoilt on one night. Hence all guests have to shower in freezing water. My wife and I stayed in hotel Galatea in December (winter). It was freezing and hence this was a terrible letdown.

The location is great.You can walk to all the sights and there are lots of restaurants and pubs nearby.Don't let the entrance put you off.We were pleasantly surprised after 3 flights of stairs at the appearance of the hotel.It was very clean and quiet.I Like a thin pillow so slept well- others might have a problem with the pillow.We aren't big breakfast eaters so had no problem with the food but the espresso was undrinkable.All over a very pleasant stay(Rome is wonderful)and if we come back we would stay at the Galatea again

Very good location in the city. Possibility to visit the most important places of Rome by foot. Spacious and clean rooms and good breakfast. My room was a little dark (not enough light during the day) and we were close to the reception of the hotel and we heard sometimes the noise from there.

The location of the hotel was excellent - very central to everything in Rome We received some incorrect advise from the hotel attendant when we asked about the best way from Termini to the Leonardo Da Vinci airport. We were told that there was a shuttle bus from the train station to the airport, which we tried to find when we got there...needless to say the signs at the train station were less than helpful. We wasted a lot of time trying to find out about the shuttle bus. In the end, we gave up and took a taxi to the airport. The hotel attendant advised that taxis take around 30 minutes to get there. Our ride took the best part of an hour! Consequently we missed out flight and had to pay for two full tickets to another airport in the uk, where we had to catch a train to our original destination, where our car was waiting in long stay carpark. So, a whole day wasted travelling...we were sorely disappointed. An awful way to end an otherwise superb holiday!

The location of Hotel Galatea was great - right in the city center and an easy walk to all of Rome's main attractions - as well as the metro and main train station! I booked this hotel based on location, price and past reviews and I was not disappointed. The staff were all very friendly, our room and bathroom was nice and spacious and very comfortable. The only things I didn't particularly enjoy was the breakfast - not a whole lot of selection and almost all of the choices were very sweet and sugary. The only other downside were all of the marble stairs - the hotel is located on the 3rd floor (which is actually the fourth floor). There is a lift for the entire building but unfortunately most of the people who use the lift didn't close the doors back all the way when they exited on an upper level and the lift does not operate when the doors are not closed completely. So after a long, hot day of trudging around Rome, it was depressing to get there and press the lift button to find that it was stuck on an upper floor so we had to take the stairs.

The hotel is walking distance from the Termini, on the 3rd floor of a block of flats italian style. There's a restaurant, gelateria and mini market on the same road. It is clean and comfortable There were no coffee making facilities in the room nor was there a small fridge. These would have been useful as the hotel does not have a bar.

Central location, recently renovated, helpful staff. Perfect for short visits. Breakfast was basic, but quite satisfactory. Elevator door has to be pushed/pulled really hard to open. Entrance to the building is not promissing, but the hotel premises are ok.

The staff were very friendly and polite, it makes a holiday much better when staff are approachable. Very tidy housekeeping and very handy to have air-con! Would reccomend this hotel to a friend. Very well located for a city break. We didn't need a taxi once as there are maps of the city available complimentary at reception so we walked everywhere!

Fremragende ferie, fremragende beliggenhed og rigtig godt hotel. Mange har skrevet at morgenmaden ikke er god, men italiensk morgenmad taget I betragtning var den ok, de kunne godt købe frisk brød istedet for noget indpakket. Alt ialt har vi intet at sætte på dette sted, og tro mig vi vender tilbage, Rom bliver man afhænig af.

Nada El hotel está ubicado en una cuarta planta y no funcionaba el ascensor hasta la planta baja. Era necesario subir hasta la primera ( un piso y medio ) para poder coger el ascensor. El acceso al hotel, a través de un pato interior es cochambroso. No llegué a pernoctar en el hotel a pesar de que lo había reservado, tenía el pié mal y no podía andar subiendo y bajando escaleras.
