We went to Rome for Wales' match in the Six Nations, so we wanted a cheap base. This hotel is a sweetie, based in an old palazzo, just off the Via Nazionale, but once through the door it is modern and pristine. Some reviewers criticise Italian streets, but if you go to an ancient city, ancient streets are part of... more

I do not mind that this hotel does not have spacious lobby, i do not mind that this hotel does not have spacious breakfast room, moreover i don't mind that this hotel is not 5 star hotel! But i highly appreciate the fact that this hotel is so clean ...like home, staff is friendly like we are friends and the... more

This was a good low cost option in Rome. It is close to Termini, metro stops and easily walkable to most landmarks in the city. The hotel is on the 3rd floor of a building so could be a little tricky for some people to find. You can get a lot of exercise on the stairs as the lift is... more

We arrived at the Hotel after dismissing our Taxi and dragging our luggage up to the 3rd Floor only to be told that they had a plumbing problem? and could not accommodate us, but had booked us in his brothers hotel on other side of Rome.

We found this hotel to be in a great location as it was fairly close to the metro and we could walk to all sorts of attractions. The... more

I stayed at this great hotel with two friends for a girls-trip to Rome this month. We booked a triple room which was great value for money. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, spoke English and was happy to recommend good restaurants (you should really try Alfredo's in Via della Scrofa if you get the chance!). The hotel's location... more

Yes, all the recent posts are true. This hotel was exactly as recent posters have written. The entrance is through the huge doors on Via Genova, yes the lift is tiny, but who cares. The hotel is comfy, the rooms were spotless, the staff very very helpful. The location is excellent as its a 2 minute walk to Via Nazionale... more

My husband and I stayed five nights last September in hotel Galatea. We chose this hotel based on the reviews because of its location and we weren't disappointed. Walking distance to Colosseum, to the Termini station (for train and metro), two blocks from the bus stop, close to good restaurants. The room was very clean and modern and the shower... more

My wife and I stayed in Hotel Galatea over a weekend in September. We had a great experience. The staff were warm, friendly and informative. The location was great...quiet area, with a local feel, but still close to all the tourist spots. There were some great restaurants nearby too. The rooms were fairly sized, very clean and modern. The building... more
