Nicely situated to up on public transportan to the Vatican city

Genuine Expedia guest review

Pros: Room is clean; Good breakfast; A very good gym nearby that can be accessed for free. Cons: Cigarette smell in non-smoking room; Double bed is made of two single bed combined together; Not so convenient public transportation (bus after metro); TV is old and tiny (10 inches screen or so..) Another important note: This hotel is NOT 4-Star as advertised […] by Expedia. It's 3-star actually. Read more

Hotel is being remodeled....The staff was great, for the price it was good, but it is about a 30 min bus ride from the Vatican.

Good News- The staff was friendly and spoke english. They helped you get to where you wanted to go and had maps available. -Room Size- The room size was a adequate and big enough for families. Bad News- Location: It is .9 miles away from the nearest metro, which can be a long way if you have small children or carrying luggage. It can really take a […] toll on you if you've been walking in the city all day like we did, or raining. They have 2 bus stops that can take you to and from the metro close to the hotel, but sometimes it took 15 minutes on a good day and an 1hr+ on others. There are some restaurants about 5 minutes away with okay food. -Breakfast: Breakfast was okay, there was no hot food, only pastries, cereals and cold meats and cheese. I suggest buying something or saving money to get a good breakfast elsewhere. - Hotel- The hotel looks nice, but you can tell they did a poor/cheap way of making it look elegant. Wood was not lined up and we had a leak in our ceiling that soaked the bed. We called the front desk at 0730 and left the room at 1100. No one came by to tell us they were fixing it or move us to a new room. We had to ask for new room later that night and the lady was nice to give us a new one. We went to our old room to get our stuff and saw that they only moved the soaked bed and didn't do anything else. Bottom Line: You can find a better hotel for a little more or less closer to the city and save yourself some headaches. Read more

If you like no ac, no water (due to construction), dirt, ants on the floor, rotted out windows, door molding laying on the floor, foot prints on the walls, and no stoppers in the sink and tub then this is the hotel for you. I personally would pass. The only way this gets 3.6 stars is on a scale of 20. The hotel is under construction but by amateurs. […] Don't think the tv will help you forget reality. 15 inch with 4 usable off-air channels. On the plus side the breakfast was better than most American versions. Location near a bus stop was good. I thought prepay was to cover all fees and taxes. But they still managed to ask for a city tax before I could leave. (the Read more

We booked this hotel on Expedia's 'unpublished rates' as a 4-star hotel. While I don't believe it's a 4-star hotel, we were very pleased with it for the price we paid. Initially, after booking it and reading the reviews, I was very worried about the location, noise, and service that others had left negative reviews about and I actually tried to cancel […] it (which I couldn't). However, after arriving at the Hotel, we found it to be very nice and pleasant. It exceeded our expectations. Our room was very clean (306 if I remember right) like new in fact, the bathroom looked like it had never been used before. Our room was very quiet, no street noise (our room was at the back of the Hotel) but the street that it is on is a busy street (as are most streets this close to City Center). The Staff was very nice, they gave us a nice map of the area and showed us how to get around and which buses to take and where to find them. After our first day, we got around town really well without any additional help, and it only takes 10 to 20 minutes depending on where you want to go (it's a big city). The breakfast was great, and they helped us get transportation back to the airport for a good price. No problems, pleasant english speaking staff, good value. I wish they had free wireless, that's my only negative comment, nowadays, I need unlimited Internet wherever I go. Read more

Nice clean and affordable

Genuine Expedia guest review

This place is a dump. Metal keys for the doors, musty smell in the rooms, bathrooms that flush sometimes, doors that creak open, a "rooftop garden" that sports two wilted plants and rusted furniture. It is far away from any attractions, or any metro station. The hotel is downright dishonest in calling itself four star - it is barely 2 star hostel-like […] accommodation. Look elsewhere for your stay in Rome. Read more

Expedia chose this hotel for me as part of the "Expedia Unpublished Rate" with the promise that it was a 4 stars hotel. I would not even give this hotel 2 stars. I asked the hotel staff at the hotel and they mentioned to me that they used to be 4 starts and were downgraded to 3 - Expedia, please update this hotel's stars rating. The first room they […] gave me had a broken bathroom door, the inside of the shower was dirty with mildew on the edges of the wall and the floor and the blinds to block the light in the morning would not close. I requested a new room and they gave me an "upgraded" room that was not any better but at least the bathroom door was working. Don't recommend it. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

I booked on line and hotel should have 4 star rating. In my opinion two stars are more than enough. Very small room with old furnishing and dirty bed headers. Bathroom had old leaking fictures. Room and bathroom had dripping condensate from A/C. As one night emergency stay near airport hotel was OK. Expensive shuttle service to airport. 75 Euros for […] 16 km ride. Read more

You'll see lots of reviews about how wonderful the staff is, and they are all true. If a nice staff is all that you need, this is the place for you. If you want comfort and reliability, I'd look elsewhere. I hope this review better informs you as to what you're getting yourself into before coming here. Our room was nothing close to what the photos […] look like. The bar and breakfast area was nice, the room definitely was not. Here's why: * the bathroom door did not close all the way shut * NONE of the four power outlets in the room worked (and the one in the bathroom sparked and turned off all of the power) * the toilet did not flush entirely (even when they cleaned the room there was still, um,stuff in the toilet when we came back later that day * the phone did not work * the wireless internet was expensive and unreliable * the air conditioning did not work * construction in the hall outside our door started at 8am * when these problems were reported they refused to change our room or do anything at all about it * this hotel is NOT close to anything as stated. public transport from Termini takes 1.5 hours! The staff was friendly and a pleasure to deal with but they didn't seem to have any options for doing anything to help other than being very courteous. I will certainly never stay here again.

The location is a little tough (about 1.5 miles from closest metro station) But the price is great, the neighborhood isn't bad, the hotel has nice amenities and the hotel staff are exceptional. I really appreciate how they treated my brother and I particularly when we had questions for the front desk. If I find my way back to Rome I would love to stay […] there again! Read more

noisy, dirty, small, cold rooms.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Expedia itself is a great tool, I got a relatively cheap flight and hotel through them but was displeased with the service received at the hotel. Very nice room but i was over charged, I tried to explain that I was being overcharged but my complaints were lost in the translation. They seem to be trying to nickle and dime tourists for every penny which […] wasn't appreciated. I ended up switching hotels halfway through my stay. Read more

Spacious and well appointed modern furnishings. And, the Jacuzzi tub/shower a really nice plus. The bathroom overall was huge by European standards, and even large by American standards. The free included breakfast was the standard fare, with the coffee and juice machines, cereal, yogurt, variety of breads, a toaster, jams, meat and cheese. Nothing […] to write home about, but then, here I am writing you about it, so what’s that about? It’s about me realizing how much I appreciate detailed customer reviews myself, and thought someone would appreciate knowing what’s meant by the standard “free breakfast” offering. In this case, the staff was good at keeping it stocked and refreshed. Not a bad location if you have a car. Within 15-30 minutes of many of Rome’s top sites. And, they have a parking lot, though the second night we got home late and the lot was full. Yet, parking on the street just outside the lot was not a problem. Attentive and professional staff. Nice roof-top terrace deck, but nothing to see from there but more roof-top terrace decks. Read more

the outside looked liked bad, inside was okay most of the stuff didnt work. i will never go back to the hotle. the hotle is next to a car delaer ship. lots of cars and bike move in and out.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Good, reception staff. Gave us a map and explained the sites on check in. 3 stops on a bus to metro from just up the road from the hotel. Breakfast not quite as good as a lot of places i have stayed in but o.k.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I went not expecting much so I can't say I was fully disappointed. I'm sure that once all the rooms are renovated it'll be fine. For now I'll say that Rome gets cold in the winter so ask for extra blankets because the air con was pretty lame and the radiators weren't turned on. The bathroom was two thirds finished, the rest of the room still needed […] work. I was on the 6th floor and the WiFi reception was poor (if you're on three just get the euro pass and use you're phone as a hotspot). The staff were friendly in general but they did forget to give me back my passport on checking out. To be honest the huge taxi bill that was the result of this was in pay my fault (I should have remembered to ask for it). I'm sure that by the summer of 2013 it'll be a nice hotel. Read more

The hotel isn't bad for the price. It is very far away from the Termini(Main train station). That would not have been an issue but the problem is in order to get to the closest Metro station we have to take a bus 246 which is horrible and takes forever to arrive. Secondly it doesn't stop on all stops, it only stops if you ping. And you being new to […] Rome won't know when to ping for the correct bus stop (unless u been here at least once). I would not recommend staying here simply because of the stupid bus 246. As for the room they aren't bad for the price... there is noise from the street and the sun will be shinning in your room, no helping that...If you want to sleep in don't stay here. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

We spent 3 nights at the Raganelli Hotel. This was a pretty nice hotel. The beds were somewhat hard, and thankfully we were so tired by the time we got back at 9-10 pm that we didn't care. The other thing we need with a teenager is wireless, and it was only available in the hallway and bar area, not in the rooms. The breakfast was above expectations, […] they had many items to choose from and did not skimp on the hours or items served. Many different types of croissants, rolls with salami, ham and cheese, fruit, expresso/coffee machine, juice machine, toast and cereals...much better then many of the hotels I have stayed at in Europe. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Getting to Rome was pretty easy...go out front of hotel and turn left--walk 15 min to main intersection and go left, about a block and get on metro. A day pass for unlimited rides is 6 Euro and it takes you right to most attractions in Rome...really just one train so easy to navigate..we tried the bus and got confused so got off at first stop..the metro was clean and easy, would suggest the metro. Overall a good hotel and stay was quite nice...no complaints except the internet...A/C worked well and we were cool at night with it on...I would definately stay here again, was good hotel for the money. Parking is free and though we got there at 11:30 pm, we found a spot up front, otherwise its street parking...easy to find on GPS...hope this helps!! Read more

It was a fair hike from the station, definitely take the bus. But the staff were some of the best I have ever encountered at a hotel and the hotel itself looks a bit dingy but was actually really nice inside

Genuine Expedia guest review

clean hotel. breakfast fine - cereals, pastries and toast - bread, cheese, meat and variety of drinks. hotel room cold. shower lovely. Hotel just one bus ride too far out of centre. If not for this would recommend to everyone

Genuine Expedia guest review

you must be very careful since the quality of the rooms is not standard, if you are lucky you can have a shower with massage, but if not you could end up in a room with an old bulbe TV, no air conditioned and very dirty....

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

On arriving at the hotel (25 minutes from the Fiumicino Airport) the hotel looked a little unusual from the outside. Inside the welcoming reception area was a pleasant surprise. We checked in and was given our key. I had booked a triple room as I was travelling with on my own with my 2 teenage children. Our room was large and consisted of a king size […] bed and a single bed, with plenty of room for the suitcases. The room was slightly boring and could do with updating. Our bathroom looked like it had been transported from a 4* hotel it was fabulous, brand new and ultra modern. The room was very quiet seeing that the hotel was on a main road. The breakfast was housed in the basement and too had been updated, it was your typical continental breakfast but there was plenty of it and lots of fresh Italian coffee. The hotel is in the Aurelia area of Rome south west of the Vatican and not in walking distance to any of the places of interest. The hotel staff are very helpful and let you know how to get around Rome safely, there is a bus stop outside the hotel which takes you to the Vatican and another with will get you in the heart of Rome with in 25 minutes. The taxis are very expensive between 15-40 euros depending on where you want to go, so take the bus or Metro. There are restaurants on the street serving pasta and pizza's and also a Pharmacy and a few small shops. All in all it was a 3* hotel and not a 4* with good links in to Rome and very helpful staff.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was/is being refurbished and we were given upgraded rooms which were beautiful but not quite finished! For example the air conditioning and safe were not working in one of our 2 rooms. The hotel is not central, but dont let that put you off staying there as the public transport into the city was excellent, […] easy and cheap. Overall a very nice hotel. Read more

The reception staff, room service staff and the breakfast staff were fantastic. Very helpful and friendly. Rooms need updating. No tea, coffee making facilities in rooms, toilets/bathroom in desperate need of repair and upgrade. Shower falling apart, taps leaking, tiles filthy, bath stained, drains blocked, shower curtain filthy, shower rail broken […] and carpet in room dirty. sold as 4 star? (never in a million years). I have been a hotelier myself and worked as FOH Manager, and Deputy Manager, but never seen such bad quality of bathrooms. However, the staff should get 5*. Receptionists were very helpful providing information and assisting us with every request we made. They were very fluent in English too. Read more

For the price this hotel was a really good find. Other reviewers have slated it which makes me annoyed as we enjoyed our stay 100%. The staff can't do enough for you, the breakfast is amazing with a wide choice of fresh food and drink each morning. The reception, bar and breakfast room all look as if they've been renovated recently whereas our room […] was a bit dated. When you're visiting Rome all you need is a comfy, clean room with air con and a decent shower, which is what you get here and it's cleaned daily. A 15 minute walk (or 5 min bus) to the metro and about 5 stops to centre. Don't be put off by other reviews, this is a Gem! :) Read more

No telephone in the room it was broken since two months....Outside communication was very difficult... poor messaging system. The room was very small room, but the bathroom was very nice. The hotel is far form the metro station, with bad bus service,,, It's like all in Roma.

the hotel is very old 1960's and is in need of updating. they are in the process of renovating but still have a long way to go. when we booked this was rated as a 4 star, not even close. they are on a good bus route that connects to the metro and getting to termini train and bus station was only about 25 minutes away. breakfast was good and their service […] was great the staff were all very helpful. we were only 20 minutes from the airport (with no traffic).

Hotel Raganelli is situated approximately 12k from the centre of Roma. It is well positioned on the ATAC bus route and within easy travelling distance of the Metro. Everything was scrupulously clean in the room and bathroom and the staff went out of their way to make us welcome. My only recommendation would be to have tea and coffee making facilities […] available in each room. A most enjoyable stay and one I would repeat. There are also some excellent restaurants nearby that offer total quality at a much reduced price to those in the city. Read more

Henkilökunta todella ystävällistä, hyvä palvelu. Hotelli ei ollut aivan keskustan tuntumassa, mutta sieltä pääsi kätevästi liikkumaan ensin bussilla metropysäkille ja siitä keskustaan - tai kävellenkin pääsee mutta matkaa on muutamia kilometrejä.. Mukava hotelli, voin suositella.

Lobby und Bar sowie Frühstücksraum waren sehr ansprechend, sauber, hell und gemütlich. Das Zimmer war derWahnsinn: dreckige Wände ( Fussabdrücke, Schmierereien, irgendwas schien an der Wand heruntergelaufen zusein ), Teppichboden schmutzig, die Duschamatur kaputt, d.h. die Plastikverkleidung war aufgeplatzt, der Duschkopf der sich an dieser befand, […] war vollkommen verkalkt, die 2. Handbrause war zwar sauber, konnte aber nicht aufgehangen werden, da dieses Teil der Duschamatur fehlte ( war nur noch teilweise vorhanden), Stöpsel fehlte in der Wanne ganz und im Waschbecken war der Siphon geplatzt. Am vorletzten Tag hatten wir das Toilettenpapier fast aufgebraucht, es wurde kein neues hingelegt und Handtücher gab es an diesem Tag auch nur für eine Person, nicht für 2 wie wir gebucht hatten ... als wir auf den Mangel hinwiesen, wurde es abgenickt, aber als wir abends zurückkehrten ins Hotel fehlte es immer noch .... das Frühstück hat satt gemacht ...

La mia esperienza presso l'hotel è abbastanza buona, ho soggirnato al Raganelli per ben 2 volte e mi sono sempre trovata bene

Genuine Expedia guest review

Siamo stati a Roma nel periodo di capodanno rimanendo 4 notti al Raganelli. Al momento dell'arrivo un altro cliente si lamentava per le condizioni della stanza e ci ha fatto insospettire. La camera in effetti non è da 4 stelle ma da 2 (a noi hanno dato la 550) mentre sul sito le foto non rapresentano la realta di alcune camere. Nell'Hotel sono in corso […] ristrutturazioni e le camere di fascia piu alta sono in effetti inseribili in un 4 stelle, mentre le altre sono in corso di ristrutturazione e comportano dei disagi, come ad esempio la televisione che non va, il bagno senza bidet i mobili che non sono molto solidi, il climatizzatore che non sempre fa caldo. Di contrasto alle cose negative c'è la gentilezza del personale, l'ottima colazione abbondante e di buona qualità. L'hotel è ben posizionato come trasporto pubblico, peccato che le due linee (246, 247 siano poco efficienti e spesso in ritardo e piene di gente e questo non è colpa del Raganelli) La prima metropolitana è a circa 1700 metri dall'albergo e spesso abbiamo raggiunto a piedi la stazione di Cornelia proprio per la mancanza di mezzi. Lo consiglio se prendete una camera non standard e se non avete fretta di visitare Roma. Read more
