Hotel Genio  

Excellent location, lovely roof terrace.

Small and not very clean shower, problems with hot water, the room window faced a wall, so there was absolutely no daylight in the room.

Fantastic athmosphere, outstanding rooftop, in the midle of everything worth seeing in Rome, at the same time bussy and tranquil, all in all we would like to give hotel Genio our most heartfelt recomandations!

A bit pity that it was not possible to sit at the beautiful rooftop in the late evening, as the city closes early..

When I finally was given the correct room, it was a decent size. and it was kept very clean. There was a useful blanket and I did need it in April. There was sufficient space to spread out my belongings. It is possible to look across the rooftops from the restaurant and terrace and to see St Peter's.

I had booked more than three months in advance but arrived to be told you cannot stay here tonight and you have to go across town (we will pay for the taxi!) to our hotel in Piazza Venezia. The explanation given was we have problems with water. I have no way of knowing whether this was true or whether the hotel still follows a policy of overbooking. Receptionist Gian Luca was pleasant and polite and tried to be helpful. Then a young lady happened to appear, collect her key and head off to her room. so I said 'Oh you are open! How is it she has a room here and you have nothing for me?! He responded to this plea by offering me a room on the fifth floor for my first night and warning me that it was very small. I looked at it and accepted the offer. Later a different receptionist gave me no help in using the buses outside the hotel. He told me to ask people in the bus queue! There was no hot shower if you got up too early. The room was noisy in the evening with the clattering of dishes from the kitchen. It had no view whatever.

Hotel Genio was very conveniently located to many important tourist spots, good restaurants, and stylish shops. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast, served on the top floor with a magnificent view of the city, was tasty and ample. The rooftop terrace outside the breakfast room too gave a great view of the surroundings and had lots of tables and chairs for sitting in the warmer weather. A generous supply of colorful flowers adorned the terrace. The rooms were kept very clean each day.

A room on the front of the hotel could be noisy with traffic and late- night revelers. Friends who stayed towards the back said it was very quiet there.

The location is excellent, very close to Piazza Navona and hence the Pantheon. Cost is reasonable when compared to other nearby hotels, but Rome is expensive. Good choice for breakfast, available over a long period. Room was a very good size. Good views available at breakfast (top floor).

On a busy street - but this is Rome, and that is true for nearly all hotels. Only one small lift. Breakfast served on the top floor - not a problem apart from the lift.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was lovely. I liked the selection of food each morning for breakfast and the view from the roof terrace is amazing. Although my room was small, it was adequate for myself as I was travelling alone and everything was clean. The location of the hotel is perfect for exploring as most of the main sites are very close by. I really enjoyed my stay and would not hesitate to stay again.

The hairdryer was temperamental. It only worked some of the time but it did not affect my stay at all! The door to my room was difficult to close sometimes and I think it needs replacing or re-fitting. However, none of these things affected my stay and my trip to Rome was wonderful.

location

rooms are very dark

The locatioan was perfect. Close to "everything". The breakfast was good enough and there was a possibility to eat on the terrace with a nice view over the city.

There was I big aircondition "generator" inside the building hade a terribble noice al night. It had a low frenquens sound. Very anoing. But, if you get a room towards the strees it was ok. I changed room.Small and slow elevator

The room had large double doors which opened onto a balcony (fifth floor room) and it was just around the corner from Piazza Navone, just beside the River and a blocks walk from the Vatican! Perfectly central to all the sights. The breakfast was lovely, and eating on the roof looking out over Rome was an amazing start to the day. Whenever we needed a taxi or tickets the people behind the desk sorted it out no problems. It made Rome a wonderful experience, we'll stay there again.

Great location, walking distance to most sightseing sites, wonderful breakfast terrase on the top, with beautiful views on the city, easy to reach, friendly hotel personnel

The room (double) was really tiny. The breakfast assortment was quite modest but sufficient.

room's comfort

The staff were very helpful, we stayed at the hotel in the middle of the first snow "storm" in over 20 years in Rome and they really tried to help us out with practical issues, and also - without us even asking for it - didn't charge us for one of the rooms when one person in the group got stuck at the airport and couldn't get there on the first night.

location is great since it is in the hearth of the city. All places of cultural importance are within easy reach.

No bar or caffee in the hotel. The breakfast room at the top of the hotel is small and very crowded in the morning with not many food variations for breakfast . Noise from the street is enormeous. Furniture in rooms is outdated.
