Hotel Portamaggiore - Rome, Italy 

I was concerned after reading some of the reviews here, but my concerns proved to be unfounded. we had a double and a single. Both were exceptionally clean, the double had a bath tub which was gerat for soaking feet after a long day of walking around. The hotel is super close to the major bus routes and are easy to navigate. The front desk staff was brusque, extremely brusque in one case, I finally made my companion ask him the questions. The woman who worked the front desk was much friendlier but both answered questions when asked and the woman was willing to make a call for us to change a tour. The continental breakfast did leave a lot to be desired, but it was protein and carbs and sugar in the drinks so it certainly is all you'll need ot start your day sightseeing. If you enjoy a lingering breakfast with great food and atmospshere make sure to eat somewhere else. In all I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to my closest friends.

My boyfriend and I travelled to Rome for a romantic weekend and can only say that the Hotel Portamaggiore was huge let down on what should have been a fantastic weekend. The location on the hotels website is totally inaccurate with the city centre only reachable by an irregular bus service from outside the hotel or bu metro with the closest station a 15 min walk away. The staff were extremely unfriendly upon check in and got even worse as the trip went on. To say the rooms are basic is being more than kind. Our double room consisted of two below average size single matresses on a spring base, these were so ufncomfortable we had to try and sleep with the matresses on the ground! The noise of cleaning staff was deafening each morning not to mention the traffic outside! A truly disappointing hotel.
