Holiday Inn Express, Rome

Claimed

It was lovely, hotel workers were friendly and helpful and it's a good place to stay if you are a vegetarian as the variety of vegetarian and vegan meals at lunchtime is really good and very very tasty. Vegetarian breakfast could be more but you won't starve, there will definitely be something there for you to eat. Dinner is not included which is a boomer, but overall it was a really great and nice experience. I would definitely go there again.

My feelings about this place are very mixed, and it's kind of hard to rate and review. It's sort of a once-nice hotel that's well past its prime but still has respectable areas. The restaurant, for example, is consistently very good...that's breakfast and supper, we did both. Nice buffet with impressive variety. Service is mostly excellent, sometimes just good. But then you get into the rooms! Very outdated, like 80s or something -- except the bathrooms, which are nicely renovated. Rooms are quite, quite small, floor had a large stain underneath one of the tables, and first night there was hair in bed, though the rest of the nights cleanliness was good. Like I said, mixed feelings...the place is a perpetual contradiction. I'm gonna go ahead and give it four star but just be aware before you book that it isn't Holiday Inn's star location.

The service we received here was the best in our entire European trip. We were able to check in early, our rooms were clean and exactly what we needed. The rooms are a bit smaller but it was not a deal breaker. We used the subway and bus to commute to the tourist areas and back to the hotel. Which was great but when needed the front desk was able to get us a taxi with no worries, 6 minute wait or less for a taxi. A heads up if you do take the bus 246 will drop you off before the supermarket and you will have to walk about 15 minutes or less. The side walk does run out and there is incoming traffic. We just made sure to put our phone flash light and we were just fine. There is a gas station and Mc Donald's right before going up to the hotel. The bar here was great, wine excellent and the bartender was amazing. Thanks to Max for always making us laugh and making our stay unforgettable. Water pressure amazing in the shower!
