Very good hotel: clean and comfortably room, good location, excellent price/quality relationship. Unfortunately, check-in stage takes a lot of time, as well as check out and any service that requires interaction with reception desk.

Get A MINI Suite you will not be SORRY

Hi We stayed twice at the Hotel Carpegna. The 1st. time we were on the 4th floor with a sky light for a window. Right after Easter it was hot and a Really BAD small room. But it was for only one night so we did not complain. The second time we spent an extra $20.00 through Expedia and got a mini suite on the 3rd floor which was great two beautiful rooms with a pull out sofa bed if you need more sleeping room. Marble floors and what we thought was a very nice view of McDonalds LOL No really the bathroom was big and beautiful and the suite was a real suite! So if you plan on staying in this Hotel spend the extra money and enjoy it also if you book through Expedia Breakfast is FREE while you stay. Its not cooked eggs to order but as you know or maybe not know? It is very expensive to eat in Europe. So a FREE breakfast is GREAT! The Hotel has a great Bar and the Grounds are wonderful it is off the road a ways so it is quite but it is hard to find there is only one sign in the front on the street So you might miss it if your not careful. Oh if you need a car to the airport it is only $45 and the hotel takes care of everything.

Far from Rome, but near the Metro

The hotel is far from the city center but it's quite near the metro, expect to spend half an hour to get to the main attactions except the Vatican which is only 4 metro stops far. The breakfast is Ok, the room was clean and the reception was in the average. The garden is amazing and the room was very silent. Its is a hotel where many groups stay, so it may get a bit noisy sometimes. We heard a lot about thieves in hotels in Rome so do use the safe and keep your luggage locked. There are many restaurants and convenience stores nearby.
