Guest Reviews
Location
The central location is highlighted as ideal for visitors who plan to use public transport or prefer to explore the city on foot. The hotel offers good value for money, combining affordability with an optimal position. Guests also mention the welcoming staff, emphasizing the combination of excellent service and a superb location.
Despite some noise issues, the hotel's strategic location near transportation hubs and key sites makes it a favored choice for travelers. With everything from historical landmarks to dining options within easy reach, Hotel Altavilla Dieci provides a highly convenient and practical base for anyone looking to experience the wonders of Rome.
Breakfast
Compliments were directed towards the warm and helpful service from the breakfast staff, which made the experience more pleasant for many guests, despite the limited variety and repetitive nature of the breakfast. However, several reviews suggested a need for improvement, citing issues such as lack of fresh products, monotonous selections and subpar coffee.
On the downside, descriptions like meager, poor and of low quality also surfaced with some guests feeling that the breakfast area was noisy and uncomfortable. Despite these shortcomings, the overall experience reflected a combination of budget-friendly value with a strong focus on accommodating service.
Rooms
While the rooms are described as cozy and equipped with essential amenities, such as proper towels and small refrigerators, they are often noted to be quite small—especially for larger groups or families with children. Noise can be a problem for rooms facing the street, though those facing the courtyard tend to be quieter.
However, there are areas that need improvement. Rooms often come across as old-fashioned with worn-out furniture and dirty or impractical fixtures like the extractor fans and headboards. Some guests found the beds uncomfortable, especially when single mattresses slid apart and the heating system can leave rooms cold at night. The hotel's bathrooms seem to be a recurring issue due to their cramped space and poor maintenance, sometimes emitting unpleasant odors.
Despite these drawbacks, many guests find the rooms functional and adequately meeting their needs, especially given the hotel's convenient location near Termini Station and public transport options. Overall, while the hotel rooms might lack modern charm, they provide a clean and practical base for exploring the city.
Beds
However, there were several concerns regarding the beds. A recurring theme was the hardness of the mattresses, which many guests found to be uncomfortable. Thin, hard pillows and single mattresses that tend to slide apart contributed to the discomfort. Some beds were deemed too small for multiple guests and a few visitors mentioned issues with springs sticking into their backs or mattresses and bed frames making unsettling noises.
In general, while the hotel's cleanliness and room setup are commendable, the comfort levels of the beds seem to vary significantly with many guests suggesting an update to the mattresses and pillows to ensure a more consistently comfortable experience.
Cleanliness
The hotel's convenient location and courteous service add another layer of satisfaction to the cleanliness aspect, making it a good choice for budget-conscious travelers. Guests also appreciated the warm and kind staff, as well as the ease of access to public transport.
However, there are notable concerns about the condition of the building and some of its facilities. Several reviews indicate that the bathrooms and certain areas require significant improvements with reports of mold, dirty floors and even instances of pests like cockroaches and ants. Some found the overall structure dilapidated and the bathrooms particularly dated.
Despite these issues, for those looking mainly for a place to sleep, the hotel’s cleanliness and comfort in the rooms meet basic expectations, making it a viable option for budget travelers.
