Hotel Savoy - Rome, Italy 

me and my boyfriend stayed at the savoy hotel inrome in June for my 18th birthday and we both had the most fantastic time. the hotel staff looked after you the moment you wlked in and caried your cases to your room and made sure everything was ok before leaving you to your own devices. breakfast was really good and we had our last evening meal there in the roof top terrace and it was gorgeous - the best meal i have had for ages - no word of a lie. the rooms were kept immaculate and the beds were really comfy - NO BED BUGS AT ALL - the rooms were a decent size - not too big not too small and the air conditioning was heaven. the hotel was very handy for seeing all the sights and getting to the metroand checking out the restaurants and bars . could not fault one thing with this hotel and would recommend it one hundred percent to anybody stopping in rome.

No frills here, and the staff was fairly ambivalent. It felt like an imposition every time we asked for assistance! There was one helpful front desk attendant - Titziana, but the rest were not. This was a very basic place to hang your hat and sleep at night. The beds were quite hard. The rooms, small. Bathroom, also small. It's not something you would like if you are accustomed to travel in the US. If you are considering going to Rome in the summer, think again. It was uncomfortably hot and the natives are rude. The line to get into mass with the Pope was a horrific nightmare.
