Hotel Anfiteatro Flavio  

The rooms were very dirty and old.The bathroom and shower had mould all over it. We weren't given clean towels and the cleaning of the room was not up to standard. For what they claim as a 3 star hotel we did not have a good experience!

We did not have one good thing to say about this hotel, apart from the location.

I simply love its location - so near to most places of interests. Yet it's safe. We very much appreciate Martel's (hope I got name spelt correctly) help in giving us some directions and very useful pointers when we first arrived at the hotel. He's much better than the Tourist Information. Mattel, thank you for you patience despite your not feeling well then. Our stay is very comfortable and it's definitely value for money.

Brilliant location for exploring Rome, good-sized room with air-con, and great restaurants nearby. Excellent value for the money.

Tiny elevator!

A location is brilliant for city trips - you can get everywhere by feet and meet not only with landmarks, but with real Rome.

The hotel is pretty poor, but now it have a new owner and may be more contemporary with service.

The Hotel proximity to the centre of Rome, the friendliness of the Hotel staff and the cleanilness of the room.

The bathroom was small and shower door was not working which was annoying. I was also charged for breakfast at the time of check out and would appreciate a refund to my credit card of 40 euro.

The staff who cleaned the rooms and served breakfast were very pleasant.

The room we were taken to was perfectly acceptable for the price I was paying. The problem was that there was extensive construction work taking place which I should have been made aware of. As I lay down to sleep at midday after being awake all night travelling a pneumatic drill started and loud sound of rubble. I went down to reception and was informed that this would be going on from about 10 - 4. This was really unacceptable and guests should be informed of this before accepting the reservation. I was moved to a room over the road so that I would not be disturbed by the noise. This room was inferior to the first. The walls were unpleasantly marked and scuffed. You could not look out of the window. It felt confined, very basic and due to lack of decent window, unpleasant to be in. I should have been offered a reduction in cost due to the work that was taking place on the building and the unpleasant room that we ended up staying in.

Extremely nice and friendly staff that is was very Helpful to me and my Fiancee who weren't familiar with the city or Italy alone. It was much better than I expected and the location was absolutely fabulous!

Paid £60 a night so got what you would expect for that price in a city like Rome. Brilliant location for colluseum, main shopping streets and trevi fountain etc are in walking distance but it takes a good 20 mins. Double bed was 2 singles pushed together which was a little annoying and the beds were very firm! Shower sprayed out in all directions but water pressure and temp control was good. Staff not particularly friendly to English tourists but this could have been mainly to do with the language barrier. Breakfast was ok but choice limited. Free access to Internet, close to metro which was very cheap! If your going to Rome for a city break you can see all main sights and not be rushed if you go for 5 days.

Close to the Colosseum. Below average price.

Front door was locked at all times and we had to be let in by buzzer. Our room was a fourth floor walk-up (no elevator) and was in an apartment building next door to the hotel.

The proximity to the city center, helpful staff, nice continental breakfast, good price.

We had a rental car break down during the day we were to check into the hotel. We did not get there until almost 1:30 in the morning. I called the hotel at about 10:30 to let them know what happened and the desk clerk was so nice and told me not to worry about it. He stayed up to wait for us and was a pleasant as could be. The room and bathroom, despite the smell and size was as clean as could be. There is a computer for public use right there in the hotel if you want to quickly check your email or surf the web for a little while. The free breakfast was good if you like European yogurt. It's different from us. There were rolls and cheese and butter and the coffee is more like espresso with a little milk. As small as it was for the 4 of us, it was wonderful to come back to the room at the end of a long day in Rome.

The hotel room for 4 people was very small. The bathroom smelled of sewage when we first got there but the smell was gone after a few flushes. They advertise wi-fi in the room but when we got there they told us that it only works in the lobby and parts of the first floor. We were on the 4th so we had to come and sit in the small lobby to go online.

I liked that the hotel was very easy to get to from the Termini. Easy access to all sights. To be able to view the colosium from the street of the hotel was wonderful. Great places to eat close by. Great gelato across the street and the pizzaria excellent value. Wonderful family run place. Even an internet access point close by. Can't beat it!

Cute, nothing elaborate. Friendly staff and decent breakfast. Could even request a capacino! Did have access to free internet at the hotel reception area.

Ideal location for city sightseeing.

Very small room
