Reading the reviews now for Fawlty Towers I can't believe I stayed at the same hotel. I came to Rome a couple of weeks ago and had a relaxed and overall pleasant experience. I have to say I am a huge fan of the television show Fawlty Towers and the name of this hotel did catch my eye. For a... more

After a delay on the train coming from Arezzo to Rome we were tired and picked the name of Fawlty Towers out of an old 'Rough Guide'. Things have gone downhill since they recommended it. Imagine a place run by Basil without the steadying hand of Sybil - yes, it is even worse than the fictional Torquay model! And not... more

The worst hotel I have ever set foot in!!!! Air conditioner didn't work, fan didn't work[although I didn't think I wanted it to as it was so dirty]. Kitchen was not clean, no hot water for cleaning, no dishes that looked clean enough to eat off. We booked a triple bedded room and we got what looked like 3 army... more

First, if you, after reading this, decide to book this hostel, pls make sure that you are accommodate in the place you are booking. They have 5 different buildings and they send clients wherever they want upon arrival, with no reason and whitout explaining you why. People at the reception are very rude, don't help you and their only answer... more

Don't go there: - bugs in the mastress - rain in the bedroom with NO VIEW - dirty common bathroom - NO breakfast - NO good welcome - too close to the station to be a good place to stay ! It was a very bad experience. BEN more

It was fairly inexpensive but there are other cheap sleeps in that neighborhood of Rome which are nicer. The hotel can't help the street noise but we must have been right over a bar or something...? The bed was cramped and had one pillow for a double. Hmmm. It was clean enough. I personally won't return but it wasn't hideous... more

not so bad

I came to Italy before my friends and stayed here by myself - 2 nights on arrival and 1 night a few weeks later before meeting friends the following day. The room you have makes a difference. At first I had - I think room 6 - which was seriously in need of redecoration (think dark with dirty stains), it... more

Our advice: STAY ANYWHERE ELSE BUT THERE!!!!! The hotel really is very 'fawlty' - much worst than the TV series after which the hotel is obviously named (Fawlty Towers) - a double irony. We booked a double superior with shower. Don't be fooled to thinking that this is a nice private room with a full bathroom. The room was not... more

My friend and I decided on Fawlty Towers for our trip to Rome, as it seemed like good value, and was very close to the Central Station. Upon arriving there, I was overwhelmed with a sense of foreboding. The lift (a wooden box, akin to a coffin on chains), was a bit of a squeeeze for two people and two... more
