Hotel Dorica

The hotel is very centrally located for the majority of sights, main train station and also close to where the tour buses run (Mary st Major). All of the staff at the hotel are amazing and friendly especially Marco, who was always happy to assist with any queries. Room was nice and clean and the window opened out onto the piazza. Although the room wasn’t huge it was adequate for two adults and was cleaned daily. There are plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby. There is also a lift so you do not have to carry your luggage up the stairs. Would definitely recommend.

A nice hotel in a great location- close to the train station and many major sites. Check in was easy and the staff was very friendly. This hotel does not offer breakfast anymore. It does have an elevator. Communication prior to our visit was timely. They were helpful in arranging taxis for us and helping us to print airline boarding passes. We had 4 rooms in the hotel. The walls are very thin and you can hear everything in the hall and adjoining rooms. The beds were harder than I’m used to but we managed just fine. One of our rooms was unusually hot and humid, unlike the others. The staff offered to put the AC on for us but we couldn’t really feel a difference where our rooms were and the other rooms were fine. There is a laundry mat a few doors down from the hotel. My one major criticism is the bathroom floors are tiled with the wrong tiles for a room with water and the showers and tubs need some non- slip pads in them. They are the flat texture with shiny finish, slick marble. I am leaving Rome with an unwanted souvenir- several bruised ribs from falling in the bathroom and a 4-6 week recovery. Two other people in my party slipped in their rooms ( 3 different rooms that had 3 different people slip in them) as well but were able to catch themselves without injury.

This hotel was extremely comfortable to stay in. Marco was an excellent host and extremely helpful and hospitable. The hotel is in a great position for the train station and local restaurants, tourist spots and excellent gelato at Clara’s. I definitely recommend. Thank you Marco!!!

Really enjoyed here and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful (huge thank you to Rebecca). The rooms were good size for the two of us. Room was clean and beds comfortable. Location is pretty good with about a 18 minute walk to the colosseum. I ended up staying here twice on my trip to Italy for the start and one night at the end of my trip. Would stay here again.

Our host was really kind and friendly. The room was in a great location for us (close to train station and about central to all key attractions) but it might not suit everyone (was on 1st floor of a mildly busy road). The only minor problem we had was hot water. It took an age (literally) to come through in the shower but once we realised it was ok. Shame about all the water that had to be pulled through and wasted….

We really enjoyed our stay. The room was large and the bed more comfortable than other room we stayed in Italy. The desk clerks were very helpful. They provided restaurant recommendations and were helpful getting us taxis.

The owner and his staff were a pleasure! They greeted us when we were boiling hot and red in the face! They checked us in effortlessly and fetched complimentary ice cold bottled water to help us cool off! The room was basic but comfortable. High ceilings, newly decorated, air con, fridge, hair drier, shower en suite. Overlooked the Ministero dell'Interno so great location and felt very safe. Location is amazing - 10 min walk from Termini, 5 mins from Santa Maria Maggiore where all the major hop on hop off buses stop and 2 mins from Via Nazionale where all the major bus routes run. Such great value for money, cafes and restaurants are everywhere nearby. Great stay - only negative thing for us, the king size bed was a little too firm for our taste - but we slept like logs regardless.

Marco at the reception desk and his young female colleague were both superb and very helpful.
