Hotel King - Rome

I was a little disappointed with the condition of the hotel when I first saw it, but it ended up being a very pleasant stay (5 nights). The room could use a makeover, but the staff was very nice and helpful, the complimentary breakfast was simple but ample (great coffee!). The best part about staying here was its location -- two blocks to Piazza Barberini, […] and about 4 blocks to the top of the Spanish Steps. For the cost, this was a good deal. Read more

Great location, Great price & Friendly staff all make up for the dreary rooms, noisy air-conditioning (heating/cooling unit) & intermittent music/bass/singing noise from the theatre next door. Can't beat the price/location...would be a dream if they improved the room experience.

Great, helpful staff, but everything just passable, oh, location is great, too.

I would stay here again. Great location between Spanish Steps & Trevi Fountain. Really good, reasonably priced family-run restaurants on the same block. Hotel is nothing fancy, just a reasonably priced basic hotel (difficult to find in Rome). Very comfortable large bar area on first floor attended by the very personable Flavio the bartender - great […] place to relax with other hotel residents after a day of sightseeing. People at the desk very helpful. Nice roof-top garden, and there is an outdoor eating area adjacent to the breakfast room. Read more

Not so welcoming front desk personel. The room was not clean. The carpet and furnitures are old and about to fall apart. Bathroom was dirty when I checked in. Noisy guests running and shouting in the hallway.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The location of this hotel was nice but the condition and cleanliness were rather disappointing. The carpet was moldy and stained. They charge for use of the in room safe even though you are required to surrender your room key every time you step out of the hotel. But my biggest problem with the hotel is their treatment of customers. I was treated very […] poorly by the night clerk in particular. There were several other hotels within a block or two that appeared much nicer (even though I can't say for sure if they are) for a similar price based on what I've found. Can't be much worse than this place so I'd shop around and avoid it if possible. Read more

The location of this hotel was perfect -- right between the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain and near a subway stop. The hotel was very clean and the room was much larger than I expect from a European Hotel. The staff offered us a room with a smaller side room due to the amount of luggage we had with us. The staff were helpful in arranging transportation […] to the port of Civitaveccia when the trains were on strike and we had no other means of travel. The hotel also has a pleasant lounge/ bar inside the property as well as a charming solarium where they serve the continental breakfast that is part of your costs. Read more

Great place, Great Staff! Location is the best and any problems the staff takes care of you right away.

Value for money, very central, pleasing staff and decent breakfast

Genuine Expedia guest review

Not as nice as other reviews led me to believe, definitely older in need of many updates and a good cleaning. Breakfast was free but subpar. Location was perfect, but no other reason to stay here.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Everything was pretty nice on the whole; just note that the rooms are very small, and that the layout of the hotel is a bit winding.

Genuine Expedia guest review

My friend and I came to Rome for the first time and we stayed for 8 days in King Hotel. The hotel offered everything one would expect from a three stars hotel facilities wise. The two things that bothered me was that the handle that holds the shower attached to the wall was broken/absent and the water in the bathroom was leaking from somewhere. We didn't […] report these to the management, but I think that the shower handle should have been fixed prior to guests arrival as a part of hotel maintenance. A general note about the breakfast - there are no fruits and vegetables, but there's an orange juice. As to location - the location is perfect: within the walking distance from all the main attractions (Trevi fountain - 5-7 min walk), near a metro station (3 min walk), near a shopping streets, a very safe area to walk around in the evening. There are a lot of restaraunts near by, two InterSpar stores (5-7 min walk), one Upim store (5 min walk). For those who are willing to compromise between the hotel facilities and the location, I would definitely recommend this hotel because it's location simply perfect for the tourists, and after walking around the city I don't think we a saw a hotel with the same star rating in a better location.

Perfectly located, walking distance to Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain. Very easy access to the metro and taxi stands. Room was the basic and the furnishings a bit dated but comfortable and clean. Staff was extremely friendly. I would stay again.

Would of liked to have a kettle in the room or somewhere in the hotel to get a drink other than at breakfast. Bar opens at 6.30 and was closed when my sister Nd I came back from our evening meal around 10 ish. That was disappointing.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel is located in a very touristy area of Rome. It is a few steps away from the Tivoli fountain and is about a 30 second walk from the Metro stop Barberini which is also the stop for the Trevi fountain. The area is well lit, and the cafes seem be open 24/7 as there is a constant flow of tourists to keep them going. Buses run through the area […] 24 hours a day and taxis are abundant around the fountain if needed. The restaurants that I tried in the area were a bit pricey but the food was excellent. The staff at the hotel were friendly, and even though the entrance to the hotel is not grand it is a well kept modern hotel. The elevator works, the hallways were clean and the carpeted areas were not worn out. The bar on the first floor had spacious sofas and the barman was happy to allow me to stay in there sending emails on my laptop long after he had closed the bar and left. I didn't eat in the bar as the restaurants of Rome were too tempting. However the breakfast was continental - croissants or toast and excellent coffee. Cereal and juices were available too. The single room I stayed in was clean with a working A/c and heating. The windows had external blinds which were easy to operate. The toilet was cleaned daily, the shower had hot water, and the bed was comfortable. There was a safe in the room and a closet. The free WiFi Internet worked in my room on the fourth floor even though I was told it might not, the connection was good. Would happily stay here again. Read more

The hotel is in a good location and the staff are pleasant and helpful. However, the hotel in in need of redecoration and was not what I expected for the price. The website overstates the attractions of the roof terrace. I stayed in a room in what appeared to be an old extension to the hotel. Getting to the room involved 2 lifts and a moderate walk […] .

No complains about the hotel or the service during my 1 week stay. Decent no frills hotel - had everything I was looking for - bed, breakfast, air conditioning and free wi-fi. Not forgetting a lift for tired feet at the end of a long day's sightseeing. :-) Not the newest hotel but it was clean and tidy with helpful English speaking staff. 24 hour […] reception cover so always someone available if you arrive late or need assistance.

Unfortunately I would not recommend Hotel King as a place to stay in Rome due to one particularly rude clerk at the reception desk named Antonio. I had never been to Rome and asked for the location of a number of streets on a map provided by the hotel. After my third request he told me that he was to busy to assist, that he could not spend all day answering […] my questions and that if I needed any more information I should go to an internet cafe. I'm sure there are many other hotels that are just as nice where the staff would be more than happy to help visitors coming to a new city feel welcome and oriented in their new surroundings. I do not recommend Hotel King as a nice place to stay. Read more

The Hotel staff were very helpful & the hotel is in a great location. However the walls of the room we stayed in (room 515) are very thin & my husband and i were kept awake both nights of our stay by the talking of the people in the next room. Very frustrating & disappointing.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very convenient next to a couple a metros and great restaurants, but rooms couldn't cope with the may heat wave we had so can only dream what summer would be like.....very uncomfortable for us and the baby. Breakfast was typical fare, beverages and toast/croissants nice and fresh. The staff were über helpful, maps and taxis/tours.

During our 4 night stay at Hotel King we found the staff very helpful and friendly. The general tidiness and cleaning of the hotel was quite good but was spoilt wall covering in the bedroom that very tired and looked quite dirty. In the En-suite room the bathroom suit were odd some pink and some white and in need of replacement, the tiles on both walls […] and floor were patched with odd tiles and not well grouted making cleaning for staff difficult. The location of the hotel was brilliant for access to most of the attractions and restaurants. Read more

The location is superb, staff friendly and room clean. Hotel old and therefore a bit dated and tired but its central location makes up for that. I would recommend it for value for money.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel King is well placed to see around Roma. It is within walking distance to see all attractions. We bought hop on/hop off bus ticket on the first day and on the 2nd, we walked around. Vatican to Trevi is just short 20min. Hotel is 3min away from the Spanish Steps and 5min to Trevi Fountain. What I disliked was the quality of the hotel. There were […] mould in the shower cubicle and and the patio door was also a bit mouldy. The room had a nice balcony but you wouldn't dare sit on the chair outside as it is a bit rusty. We were on the 3rd floor and it strongly smells of cigarrett although it is meant to be a non-smoking floor. B'fast is continental, meaning lots of bread, cereal, ham and cheese. For what it's worth, I s'pose you get what you pay for. We only needed the rooms to sleep in anyways so the state of it didn't matter too much. Also probably because we only stayed for 2nights. Anything longer than that, I would probably choose a nicer hotel. Will I come back to hotel? Yes, especially if on a budget. Read more

Superb quiet position just 2 minutes walk to top of Spanish Steps, 10 minutes to Trevi Fountain. Good restaurants, cafes and bars in the same street.Metro Barberini is one minute walk..4 Euros for a day pass includes all buses. Hotel staff very helpful, very good breakfast till 1030. Room a bit shabby and in need of decoration but perfectly acceptable. […] Bed a little hard. Very efficient air conditioning. Would recommend for the position and price alone...and convenient flights from London City Airport via Zurich on Swissair. Read more

The hotel was in a very good location, near all the sights. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were a fair size, with a nice shower, aircon, lovely big windows, hairdryer and Sky TV. The hotel could do with a little TLC, but for the price, it was excellent. There was also a lovely terrace to eat breakfast on. I've put my money in the […] Trevi Fountain to make sure I return!

Trevligt hotell i bra läge. Något slitet men på det hela klart godkänt. Inget superromantiskt utan mer funktionellt. Bemannad reception dygnet om med engelskspråkig personal ett klart plus. Usel frukost vilken med fördel kan avstås.

Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist sehr gut, wir wurden sehr nett empfangen und der Receptionist wusste von da an unsere Zimmernummer auswendig! Das Zimmer war zweckdienlich und sauber, mehr kann man für den Preis nicht erwarten. Das Zimmer in dem verwinkelten Gebäude zu finden war anfangs allerdings eine Herausforderung!

Ett hotell som passade vårt aktiva turistande med behov av mellanlandning. Inget hotell att spendera tid på. Frukosten 100% fiberfri.

Rommet var slitent og skittent ved ankomst. Renholdet tok seg imidlertid litt opp. Frokosten var sparsommelig(loff og ost). Sørvisen til personalet var også varierende, men de fleste var hyggelig og hjelpsom. Karakter 2/5

Vi var meget fornøyd oppholdet i Roma. Savnet grovt brød til frokost, men fikk nok av søte kaker. Vi var på tur for å se de historiske stedene og trengte 5 dager. Vi brukte all tid på å " historievandring". For å få maksimalt utbytte må hjemmeleksen gjøres, det er mye som må leses om og planlegges. God tur.

Jos tarvitset hotellia vain yöpymiseen, lyhyen metro- tai kävelymatkan päässä kuuluisista nähtävyyksistä, tämä on sopiva majapaikka.

Ekstremt lydt hotel. Vækkes flere gange om natten af andre gæster, som bare taler normalt(papirstynde vægge). Brusekabinen under al kritik, så lille at normal-vægtige ikke kan tage et bad. Kunne ikke lukkes ordentligt, så der var vand over hele badeværelses-gulvet. Morgenmadsbuffeen under al kritik. Meget tyndt og trist udvalg af tørt brød og kedelig […] pålæg. PÅ dag 2 betalte vi for mad et andet sted. Tv-kanaler var ikke som lovet. Personalet var meget hjælpsomme og rare. Og hotellet lå meget centralt. Read more

Hotellet er sentralt plassert med kort vei til sentrale deler av Roma. Standarden på hotellet er svært enkel. Et standard rom er lite og trangt, men var rent og pent. Det er lytt mellom rommene. Frokosten var enkel og grei. Summa summarum: Slett ikke et luksus hotell, men fungerer greitt som overnattingsplass.
