Rome, one of the most popular and busiest cities in the world!!! Everyone heard of Rome and most of us have been there too, some at least once and some do visit this so-called “open air museum” a number of times.
Finding the right accommodation is not easy especially when you’re visiting a city like Rome. The majority look at staying in the city centre and at a reasonably priced hotel but how easy is that? Well, almost impossible! It’s very hard to find an ideal bargain hotel in Rome centre. After numerous trips to Rome I think I managed to find one
…… the Hotel Quattro Fontane!
Situated in “via Quattro Fontane”, it is ideally located within few minutes walk from Piazza Barberini, Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, Pizza del Popolo, Piazza Venezia and Termini Station …… and for those shopping lovers, among others, the famous via del Corso, via Condotti and via Nazionale!
This 30-40 room hotel is in a building of the 700s and has been renovated and furnished in a way to be both classical and modern at the same time. Rooms, compared to other hotels of the same price and standard, are quite spacious. Don’t expect something huge but they’re adequate for the number of persons occupying them. B’fast was good too, with a good choice of bread, croissants, pain chocolat, cereal, eggs, etc …… Something that I feel I must point out was that the hotel also offered Wifi service but at a charge.
Staff was really helpful, even though I felt that they weren’t really informed about what’s going on for the New Year’s Eve celebrations. Don’t know if I expected much but I felt that if one had to ask a question about activities being organised on such an important day, they would be informed without having to check. I can’t not mention Gianfranco, the receptionist. He was there ready to help in the best way he could for every our demand. The only time I was a bit disappointed by his answer was when I pointed out that the room was too cold. I’m not someone that usually feels cold but the room, on the 1st night was extremely cold. When I told him this his answer was that the other 34 rooms pointed out that the heating was too high
Ok, than maybe I was sick that day ….. the day after I think I was fine as the room felt good than
Ah, when I pointed out that the room was cold we were told that we will be given some extra blankets, as much as we want to. We asked for at least 1 extra but it never came. I perfectly understand that the cleaning lady could have mistakenly forgot about it and believe that if we asked again we would have had it, but, as I pointed before, the room was then warm so we didn’t really needed it.
Stayed there for 2nts and had to get back for another 2nts after a week. It was then perfect, a bigger room and with a small terrace …. really appreciated it!
Thanks again for everyone at the hotel that made this stay really nice! Thanks guys!
