Hotel San Valentino

The staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed one night and booked last minute. They held our luggage in the morning while we explored the area and went for breakfast. The bed was comfortable, spacious and clean and the room is spacious with high ceilings. There is a bar and restaurant a minutes walk away that is reasonably priced. We got a bottle of Prosecco for €20. There is also 2 very popular bakery’s a 5 minute walk away. Great for breakfast, we spent around €5 per person. It cost €14 to get a taxi to centre and 15 mins during Saturday morning traffic (10am}. If you’ve traveled around Asia the rooms will seem very poor. I get the aesthetic is partly to keep with “Old Rome” but there were basics that didn’t look maintained such as pipe from toilet fixture leaking and the shower basin not draining. There is also only 2 plug sockets in the room, 1 by the bed the other by the radiator. The walls are very thin so bring ear plugs as you’ll hear peoples alarms go off and bin collection in the morning. If you’re traveling on a budget I think it’s a nice stay you’ll just have to factor in travel costs to and from the centre or rent a scooter.

Location was good. Although the room wasn’t like the introduced photos, we satisfied our stay there.

The location of hotel is perfect and you can get anything there, snacks food and amenities. It's a perfect location for someone who wants to explore Rome by foot.

Hotel with reasonable and good service

Great location. 2 blocks from the Metro Station, and seven blocks (12 min) to the Vatican entrance. Fifteen minutes from the colosseum and the most pieces of ancient Roma

Ideally located property with only a short walk over the river to get to the major tourist attractions. Plenty of restaurants nearby serving excellent food. However, a few things met the property down. On arrival the receptionist was helpful although a bit of difficulty as he never spoke great English, despite speaking to me in English whenever I saw him any time afterward. The safe in my room would not work, I didn’t see the point in reporting this as at that point, I couldn’t communicate with the receptionist. There was also a large damp patch on the wall/ceiling of my room. I was on the first floor and was woken a few times by loud conversations at reception. I could also hear what was going on in the room above me each night!! I can’t speak for all the beds, but each morning I woke with more bites on me, leaving me scratching for days. I would hope this was in my room only and not every bed in the hotel. Still, the hotel served its purpose and didn’t stop the enjoyment of a great few days in Rome
