Hotel Ranieri  

It is a lovely old hotel with a courteous and helpful staff. The old and rather small elevator harkens back to earlier times with its wrought iron gate and wooden doors which had to be carefully opened and closed. Lots of marble stairs. The breakfast area was on a lower level with no windows, but the canary yellow decor was bright and cheery. The lounge was business-like and welcoming. The hotel lies beyond the main tourist areas, but a short walk takes you to most of the sights. It was convenient to the train which we took to and from the airport with no problems.

The hotel was easy to find, less than 10 minutes walk from the main train station where the bus and train arrive from the airport. It has recently been refurbished and from the smart marble entrance to the light lounge and breakfast room, everything looked clean and new. The bedroom was a reasonable size with a small but beautifully fitted en-suite with an excellent shower. There were even complimentary extras like toothbrushes and slippers! The breakfast was great with a wide choice, including bacon and eggs, so we never needed to buy lunch. The hotel will do an evening meal on request, but we found a lovely restaurant 1 minute's walk away , 'Dan Giovanni's' which was excellent with the cheapest wine in the city! A bonus in the hotel was the free internet so we could check e-mails and book our seats on the return flight without needing our own laptop. The staff were friendly and could tell you the best way to get to different places. Buses stopped nearly outside the hotel and metro stations were within 5 minutes walk. Excellent value.

The hotel was a little further from the main sights of Rome than other more expensive central hotels, but it only took us 15 minutes to walk to the Trevi Fountains, Spanish Steps, Borghese gardens and 30 minutes to walk to the Colosseum. If you didn't like walking you could easily catch the metro and bus for only 1 euro. This was great value when visiting the catacombs outside the city walls as a ticket lasts for 75 minutes so we went partly by metro and partly by bus all for 1 euro!

Reception staff were very welcoming and helpful - spoke good english. We arrived early and our room was available which was great. Breakfast was excellent, fresh and good mix of food. Location was good for the price within a capital city and walking distance from shops and train station. Bus service available just outside of hotel. Rooms were well serviced and clean.

The beds were a little hard.

Relaxed atmosphere well located in terms of proximity to sights but in quiet setting staff courteous and helpful when required but otherwise left to do your own thing which I enjoyed.breakfast better than expected.fantastic value for money no surprises when paying bill.thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return to this hotel and recommend it to family and friends

Cleanliness.

Helpful friendly staff. Good buffet breakfast. Clean well appointed rooms. Would stay again.

Not as close to Rome's attractions as we thought.

Excellent breakfast for a 3-star hotel. Good location, confortable and clean rooms, very helpful staff.

The people who work there are most helpful and accommodating. The location is excellent for walking everywhere I want to go, including the train station. There are great restaurants in the area. I stayed there last year and again this year and will definitely stay there next trip to Rome.

I mainly chose the hotel Ranieri for the price and location near the Termini train station and a Metro station (Repubblica). We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast food was great tasting and had a good variety. The room and bathroom were clean and neat. Air conditioning worked fine. I noticed you have double pained windows. I good walk to the Trevi fountain and Spanish steps. The city bus stops are along the street to get you to Termini quickly in one or two stops.

The elevator works great but the space was small after you put two pieces of luggage inside.

This hotel was ideal for sightseeing in Rome as it was walkng distance or a short bus ride to all the tourist attractions in the city. It was clean, had a free safety deposit box and a mini bar. The room was small but adequate and the staff spoke good english and were extremely helpful.It had an olde world charm, the dining room even though at basement level was bright and cheerful and was decorated with colourful mediteranean ornaments and coloured glass. The breakfast was excellent giving us bacon and eggs as well as the usual continental option. I would highly reccommend this hotel for a visit to Rome as it was reasonably priced and good value for money.

The staff was great, very helpful with recommendations, were to visit, eat and to get around. Great location....15 - 20 min walk to great sites. Would stay again....

Excellent staff. Good location as its close enough to the busy side of the city without the noise. Rooms with no views are compensated with quietness.

Perhaps have a list or recommended restaurants in the vicinity.

Excellent and very ftiendly staff at reception, very clean and silent room, best location to the railway station (termini), public transport and sightseengs (15 minuts walking to trevi)
