Hotel Massimo D'Azeglio - Rome

This hotel is one of 4 in the area; I have stayed more often at the Mediterran across the street. All are just a few minutes walk to the train station which is hands down the fastest, easiest way to get to the airport, so I have been a guest frequently. BUT NOT AT THIS TIME OF YEAR! For whatever reason, when the temperatures drop, the hotel cranks the […] hotel and all its rooms up to about 25' C. which I am quessing is about 75' F., and there is no way to turn it off or down--just open the windows (it's too cold for mosquitoes, so never mind the lack of screens). I speak Italian and confirmed this not only with the hotel staff but also with the manager at the Mediterraneo (and they have the same protocol). Other than the heat issue, we had problems with the headboard disconnecting from the wall (it was held up by only two little hooks) and the towel rack disconnecting from the wall. The maid left the towel rack on the floor throughout our stay, apparently not attempting to fix it or to have housekeeping do so (it required just a screwdriver which we did not have). Very odd behavior from a hotel that is overall very nice. Read more

I have stayed at the hotel twice: 8-2012 and 12-2012; both stays were great. The staff is professional and are always willing to assist you. The room while small was very clean as was the bathroom. The breakfast buffet was wonderful and included in the price of the room. That really helped as Italy's food is pretty expensive. The location is great as […] well, right by theGrand Terminal. I'll stay there again on my next trip. Read more

Location was good, near to Termini Station, but surroundings still felt nice and safe. Hotel was clean and tidy, but room was quite small. Bathroom was newly renovated, but tiny. Reception staff was busy, sometimes even unpolite. They did they job but didn`t put much effort on it or offered any extra help even when help was asked. Breakfast was standard […] level, but nothing more. All in all, I expected more of this hotel, considering it is a four star hotel. Hotel was quite pricey in the light of it`s general level and I think it was not worth of that money. Read more

The quality of the breakfast was not up to expectations. The coffee machine produced only lukewarm coffee and hot water. Also the breakfast staff and main desk personnel did not agree on the breakfast times. Desk personnel advised breakfast until 11am, while the room staff began dismantling the trays at 10:30. Disappointing.

Staff was very helpful. Good variety for breakfast. Located 1/2 block to the metro stop and train station. Within walking distance of most must see sights Excellent museum just around the corner. Bed was not as soft as I was used to. Great bathtub for soaking

Super close to termini train station. Tons of great restaurants in the surrounding areas.

This is a wonderful hotel. We had stayed here three years ago and liked it, so we went back this year. It is an older, very well kept, elegant hotel. The staff were very nice and the room was very clean and nice. I would definitely stay there again.

Excellent overall

Bed was hard, otherwise the hotel met expectations

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was a top notch experience for us. The hotel's proximity to Termini made it so simple to traverse the town. And the hotel was beautiful.

This was a great location for getting around Rome. The staff wasn't all that knowledgeable about some common things, such as how to take a bus, where to buy a ticket, whether exact change was needed. Other than that, would stay there again.

Nice hotel in an excellent location by the train station. There is easy access to transportation anywhere in Rome. I would definitely recommend this hotel

the room was very small even by rome standard and was not particularly clean. front desk staff was helpful and friendly. breakfast was very average.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I loved the hotel, the location was great and close to train. Overall a great hotel

Genuine Expedia guest review

We had an excellent stay while in Rome. The staff was very helpful and the hotel worked out fine. All sorts of public tranportation is available right out the front door so the hotel made an excellent base to go out and explore Rome. I would definitely recommend it! Ciao!

We originally were booked at another hotel a few weeks earlier, but when we had to cancel those plans due to a death in the family, we rescheduled here. It was the perfect location for us because we used the metro as our primary transportation while in Rome. It was a 2 minute walk to Termini, and the metro got us all over Rome for 16 Euro each with […] a weekly pass. The hotel staff was helpful and friendly. It was clean and the rooms were comfortable. There was a problem with our bathroom leaking to the floor below, and they moved us to a bigger, nicer room for the inconvenience of having to move all of our stuff. Breakfast was included, and it was a very nice variety of food (although very different than what we are used to). Each morning they got my husband "American" coffee at his request. I felt safe and comfortable in this hotel, and would stay there again without hesitation. Read more

Fantastic service from staff at the front desk, bell hop and breakfast room! Would definitely stay at this property again. Only caveat was there were not many electric plugs in my room, as I travel tech heavy and need to recharge many items. Bathroom was very nice as well.

i liked this hotel a lot. i came in with low expectations, but because i was arriving by train at midnight, i chose this hotel for its close proximity to stazione Termini, the main train station. it's a short block and a half away from the train, a very very short walk, even at midnight in january. i got a clean, quiet room, the staff was very helpful […] and friendly, and breakfast was included in my rate (a buffet style, more than just a muffin---plenty to eat; and that's a good thing in italy, where breakfast for americans can be a challenge---it's hard to find good, cheap things to eat or breakfast in italy, generally the locals have coffee and a bread and that's it.). the hotel neighborhood isn't all that exciting at night, but it's close to the subway and close to the colosseum and trevi fountain and piazza venezia, and i walked almost everywhere, taking the subway only at night when it was cold. this hotel exceeded my expectations.

Bettoja Massimo D Azeglio was in the perfect location. It was approximately 1 block away from Roma Termini (trains and buses). Restaurants, souvenier shopping, and tourist sights were within walking distance. The hotel staff were courteous and friendly. We had a early morning tour and they packed us a breakfast bag :). I thought that was sweet and […] considerate. Their continental breakfast was a full course meal and delicious. I would stay there again and highly recommend the hotel. Read more

This Hotel is in a great location, only a few blocks from the main attractions. It is super easy to take the train from the airport to this Hotel. The rooms are bigger than most European Hotel rooms, Breakfeast was good aswell. I will be comming back to this Hotel again.

This is a great place to stay--good breakfast included and large room with nice shower. Just around the corner from the hotel is a street with the best small local restaurants--inexpensive and great food. Only half a block from the Termini station and metro, plus, easy walking distance to the Coliseum. We went across the street to the sister hotel, […] Bettoja Meditteraneo and had drinks on the rooftop. Nice bar with fabulous views. Read more

Very conveniently located by the termini station but if you are looking for a night life, this hotel is in the wrong part of Rome for that. Hotel was clean and the staff was very friendly & accommodating.

Very convenient to Roma Termini station. We were coming from the train station carrying our luggage and it was only a few blocks away Great access to trains, buses, and the metro.

They were doing work on the hotel so it was very noisy, and to get to our room we had to take the service elevator. The beds were really hard, and the room was could have used some updating. When we went to breakfast, every table was dirty. The coffe was cold and they did not have much variety.

The Hotel is close to the train station. When we got there reception at the front desk was very poor. The front desk was rude during check in, would not answer any questions. very arrogant. Would not recommend this place.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The staff in the lobby were very helpful. The staff in the dining room, not so much. For breakfast, they have a European buffet, set up in two rooms. One buffet is beautifully expansive & a wide array of choices, it is nearly the length of the room. The other room has very small table, with most of the same choices, but a very limited scale. In the […] big room, you have have a big basket of fruit with many choices. The small room has 1 apple, 1 pear, etc. We attempted to sit in the big room, but the staff directed us to the small one, but I had seen the big buffet. So, I wanted to select the food from the large room & take it to our table in the small room. The staff was out-raged that I insisted upon this & even cussed at me under their breath every time they passed. (My husband speaks fluent Italian). They argued with me that I "must" stay in the room they directed me to, I am not big on following senseless orders. Free wi-fi Read more

The front desk help were not friendly or helpfull at all. The noise level was very high from trains. Have been in Rome 17 times and stayed at many hotels. The Hotel is beautiful inside and out!! Restaurant was very nice and the quilty of food was great. The servers and restaurant help top notch. The rates charge are very good, just looked at the front […] dest help for problems. Air conditioning not good either, called and no help came to fix it. Read more

Very close to the train station, which is convenient if you're flying out of Rome.. The only downside was a strong smell of sulfur that started coming from the bathroom at night.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I will return again to this hotel when in Rome. The staff was excellent.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed at this hotel inadvertently because our travel plans had changed while in Italy. We stayed in 4 3 different hotels in Rome, and this one was by far the best! It is very conveniently located near the bustling Termini, main train station in Rome. However, this was pleasantly the quietest hotel we ever stayed in (not just in Rome)! We could not […] hear our above guests moving around, and we could not hear people leaving in the morning and their doors closing. It not was only clean and quiet with adequate room, it had the best spread for breakfast. It had a self-service coffee/ cappuccino/ tea machine at your disposal. They also had some traditional hot American breakfast options (scrabbled eggs and bacon). I wish we could have stayed longer! Will definitely be our #1 choice if we return to Italy! Read more

The Bettoja Massimo D Azeglio Hotel is loocated a block from the main train station and the metro. Hop on and Hop off busses are also a block away. The hotel provides a very good breakfast and the rooms were clean and well maintained. Air conditioning was very good, a rare thing in Rome. I recommend you spring for the superior room (very nice).

Our group had 6 rooms, all were good size, clean,modern, staff was friendly and helpful, location was convenient for touring old Rome, lobby was comfortable, price reasonable, internet was free(signal was down occasionally. Overall group was very satisfied with stay. Note- beds were firm but comfortable.

Very convenient to train station and Forum (which was what we needed). Not so convenient to the rest of Rome. The hotel and room were great, but the breakfast was awful (the worst by far that we had in five hotels in Italy) and had a delay for people who weren't there at the crack of dawn. There were shells in the eggs, we couldn't get hot water for […] tea, coffee from a Nescafe machine. But other than the breakfast it was a very nice hotel. Read more

location is great if you want to be near the terminus train station with direct link to airport. room was nice for old Europe but small and small TV. good value for the rate i paid. front desk staff was great.

The location of this hotel works for many reasons. It's close to the train station if you are coming in from the airport & it's also close to many sights, short walks away. The management are really on top of things and are very friendly & helpful, especially the front desk. The room was incredible with a large bedroom, coffee/tea area, fruit basket, […] huge bathroom with many ammenities. We couldn't have been happier staying here & reccomend it highly. Read more

Very easy to find from train station. I thought the location was good because most tours and bus and metros stop at train station making it easy to go back and forth. The breakfast was OK. What you would expect for Italian breakfast. Rooms were nice and bathtub very large for European standards

Upon arrival, I was asked if I was ___. Never had that happen before. The hotel could not have been in a better location. Wonderful breakfast. Could stand some updating of decor. But, rooms are a nice size and quite comfortable.

This hotel was perfect. We had a corner room (I recommend requesting one) and the room was very large and clean. The furniture was a little dated and the bed was a bit hard for my taste, but after 3 days of walking, I didn't mind all that much. Breakfast was nice and they have great coffee! You are right across from Trimini station (which will get […] you everywhere you want to go). No matter how much luggage you have, DO NOT let a cab driver tell you it's far to avoid lugging it yourself (like we did). It is literally 2.5 blocks. Not worth the 25 Euro - trust me. The train ride from the airport to Trimini is ~14 Euro and there were 3 of us. The hotel will schedule a car service for 48 Euro, which is much cheaper than the cab drivers outside!!! If you pack like we do, that is the way to go! If you are there for a short time, like we were, I highly recommend taking one of the double decker tours (sold by the annoying people on every corner by the train station). You will see a lot in a short time and you can get off and on all day. Metro is cheaper (although the bus wasn't much at all), but it's underground and you miss all the little neighborhoods.

We only spent 1 night in Rome and we arrived by train from Naples.The hotel was a 5 minute walk from the train station. The room was larger than expected and the bathroom was clean, and even had a full tub. You are within walking distance to the Spanish Steps, and Trevi Fountain and it took us about 45 mins to walk it. Upon check in, ask for a room […] not facing the street.Because it was noisy at night. Our beds were VARY firm. I was not used to such a firm mattress and it did prevent me from getting a good night sleep.The price includes breakfast but we left too early the next morning for the airport to experirnce it. The hotel worked fine for a brief stay, but if we returned to stay longer, I would choose another hotel for a better quality mattress. Read more

Overall. pleased with this "standard" hotel. A few negatives: hard beds, some subway noise even on the higher floors, some rooms in midst of renovation, mini-fridge that did not "fridge" , no ice machine. Positives: very pleasant staff, from the management to the front desk to even the housekeeping personnel. Good elevators. No communication problems […] in English [actually in all of Rome despite what we had been told]. Ice obtainable at the bar. Wonderful location with great access to the subway, bus and train lines. This made distant parts of the city accessible, for sight-seeing or a late nite dinner. Read more

This hotel was just yards away from the train station, so it was very easy to walk to and major bus and metro lines run from the same location so getting around was very easy. The hotel is dated but well kept and the staff if courteous. The rooms are quiet despite the trafficky area. Major sights such as the Colosseum are within walking distance.

4 star hotel but the cheap rooms were strictly 2 star (3 would be very generous). Great location right by the train station and walking distance to most of the main attractions in Rome.

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The Air conditioning in my room was fine but in my parents room was not quite as good but acceptable. Rooms were clean. Not as spacious as US rooms but ok. Restaurant was good for dinner as well.

Great place to be located for sightseeing around Rome. Excellent breakfast included. We did not find it to be too noicy and we were facing the main street.
