L'Hotel Cinquantatre - Rome

This small, yet very nice 3 star hotel is in a great location - within walking distance of wonderful sites, transportation, restaurants, shopping, etc. On a small and quiet street. I would recommend it to anyone. The staff was friendly and helpful, the breakfast fine, and the room small, as you would expect, but very comfortable and more than adequate. […] If I had to find something negative to say, it would be that they could update their hair dryers.

My husband and I enjoyed the hotel overall. The bathroom was good sized. The staff was always pleasant and helpful with any questions. Wifi worked well which was nice. Breakfast was a bit lacking in comparison to other hotels we had stayed at across Italy.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

A cute little hotel slightly away from the most popular tourist attractions, but I still walked almost everywhere, and took the metro just twice. Metro is a 3 minute walk from the hotel which was very convenient. Staff was very nice and helpful (only a few spoke english). Breakfast was included which although not a big variety it was a good, typical […] Italian breakfast (pastry, coffee, cereal, yogurt) on a cute rooftop balcony. Overall I would highly recommend this place for a good price! Read more

The hotel room was small but it was clean and hassle-free. Close to buses, cabs and metro station so it was easy to get around. Great complimentary breakfast. Helpful staff. Would stay there again. Good value.

Hotel seems lut dated with small rooms, however Location was great and we walked every where. Breakfast was pastries and cereal. After eating the first day we opted to eat out instead. We chose this hotel knowing we'd spend most of our time out and about, and for the value it was decent.

the neighborhood around L'Hotel Cinquantatre was quite surprisingly busy. my wife and i were on our honeymoon and we were very pleased with the friendliness of the staff and quick walk to the metro. it's also nice to be a 15 minute walk to Spanish Steps and Fontana di Trevi. we were least satisfied with the amount of noise that seemed to start around […] 630 or 7 a.m. not sure if it was the B&B next door, rattling pipes or a fan door flapping but it was persistant and annoying. we stayed on the first floor so i'm not sure if you could hear it elsewhere. but overall our experience was enjoyable and L'Hotel staff was perfect.

I booked this hotel after weeks of searching hotels in Rome for a honeymoon. We were taking a cruise from the port and decided to stay a few days in Rome first. I emailed this hotel a few times with questions about sights and arriving before check-in and they always answered back in under 24 hours. We arrived at the hotel at 10am (they said in an […] email they would hold the bags) but they did one better, they had a room ready for us since I advised thme we were coming in early! We couldn't have been more pleased! The young man at the front was great! He gave us a map and circled main hightlights and others and highlighted great food places too. Always answered our questions on directions as well. The location of the hotel is great! We walked everywhere to everything. We took the Metro to the Vatican. The Metro station is just 500 feet down the road. Yes, the room was smaller than here in America, but if you have ever stayed in any European hotel, it was normal size. TV was small but who cares! You are in Rome and should be sight seeing! No sewer smell in Room 402. Looked for mold like some reviews stated and found a speck in the caulking below the shower. I found more at the Del Mar Resort in San Diego. All in all, a great experience and would stay again! Read more

The hotel was very small, yet not in a charming way. The facility seemed tired and in need of a redo. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was complementary and fairly sparse. The elevator is extremely small and there is wifi available, but only in the basement lounge. Finally, it was quite noisy from the street, even on the 5th floor […] with the windows closed. We would probably stay somewhere else next time. Read more

Rooms are small. Elevator even smaller. Breakfast is lite but the coffee/cappuccino is great. Would likely try another place close by, but this wasn't bad by any means. Front desk staff was helpful and spoke very good english.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Though Close to all sight seeing possibilities, i Found the Hotel Staff often uninformed and each desk clerk, seemed to follow different Rules. The Room was minimally cleaned, with Large amounts of dust underneath the bed. Wireless Internet, though offered, was Close to non exsistant.

We were a little apprehensive after reading the mixed reviews on the hotel but our experience was excellent. The hotel and rooms are small but clean and charming, and more than sufficient for our travel needs. The hotel is located within walking distance of many must-see places in Rome as well as reasonably priced restaurants. The staff were pleasant […] and helpful and reasonably fluent in English. Given all of the positives of the hotel, the price for the room was exceptional. The only negative is that they did not have wi-fi, and their hot spot was not always working, so we had to hook up the ethernet cable directly to our computers -- this was a small inconvenience. Great experience - we would recommend the hotel strongly and will probably return again soon. Read more

Stayed at the hotel this week and the location was outstanding but the installations were very old, it gives you the feeling it is not clean.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The good: Just half a block away from the Metro, this hotel is really convenient. For 1 Euro, you can get to places like the Colosseum & Vatican city. When we got there, the host helped mapped out our 3 days, he was super helpful (long hair, retainers & pretty good English). We were able to hit 7-8 attractions like the Fountain of Trevi, Roman Forums […] and Spanish steps.. it was all within walking distance that flowed pretty easily because there were signs leading you from one place to the next.. it was a tiring walk though. Took us about 2 hours to go through it... and we didn't even stay to take that many pictures! They also have airport shuttle service (we paid 15 Euros/person). The bad: We didn't encounter any smelly sewage issues, but the hotel is reallllllly old. The elevator holds 2 people max. The locks on the doors still uses reg keys, not card keys. Fixtures were dangling... there was rust on the pipes. Tiny tv, with no English channels. The wifi only works on the bottom floor inside a room with vending machines (but they do have a desktop for internet use for free), The breakfast consists of croissant, pastries and juices only (no hot food). There were mosquitos in the room.. and we know they don't change the bedsheets cause we killed a mosquito on the bed and the blood stain stayed on the sheets all 3 days. Overall, if you're will to sacrifice comfort for convenience at a cheaper price, this is the hotel for you. Read more

We were looking for a centrally located hotel, reasonably priced for our 7 day stay in Rome. We selected this hotel after reading all of the reviews, having no other way to judge the quality. I am writing this review because I want to express my satisfaction with the hotel and also to confirm the accuracy of the reviews I read regarding this hotel. […] As expected, the room was small as was the elevator. The room was clean, the beds were firm and comfortable, the towels were fresh daily and a hair dryer and toitleries were provided. I enjoyed the two large windows which opened to the outside and provided fresh air and a view. The air conditioner worked well and we were able to adjust the temp to our liking in our room. We were pleasantly suprised to find a high speed computer with free internet available at all times along with a vending machine with water, soda and juice. The roof top deck was pleasant and nice with continental breakfast and service included. The staff manned the front desk 24 hrs, spoke Engish and were helpful with directions, suggestions and recommendations. They graciously made calls for us to schedule tours, transportation and inquiries. The one complaint I am compelled to mention, is a mild sewer odor that came from the drain in the shower. This was not a constant, rather intermitent and we dealt with it by keeping the bathroom door closed at night and the window open during the day. This was quite minor and would not stop me from using this hotel again in the future. Read more

L' Hotel Cinquantatre was surprisingly small but not unpleasant. When I say small I mean small in every way from hallways and elevators and stairways to rooms. I am a normal size person but a very large person would have a great deal of trouble, especially with the elevator. The other negative was the lack of internet. There was no wi fi and the only […] internet access was from a community computer in a lounge area. The computer was not very modern but was serviceable. Since I was in Rome I did not intend to spend much time in the room so it was adequate but small. Overall I would not hesitate to stay there again but for the size and the amenities I felt it was a bit over priced. For a room of this size in the US you would not expect to pay even half the price. Of course, it is in Rome! Read more

Our hotel was in an excellent location - close to all the major sites of Rome. Almost everything was in walking distance, and we were steps away from a Metro stop. Our room was a classically small European hotel room but was clean and comfortable. Our only comment was the shower stall was a little cramped (although not unexpected) and there were absolutely […] no English language TV channels - not even BBC or a CSPAN type channel. Overall, a very charming little hotel that we would recommend to anyone staying in Rome! Read more

I booked this hotel a few days before our stay and thought I was getting a good deal for a 3-star hotel. Based on the somewhat positive reviews as well, thought it would be at least decent enough for 3 nights. Boy was I wrong. First issue was the building exterior was so disgusting that I knew immediately that once in our room, it would be bad as well. […] Our room had dirty linens, sheets and the chair covering was stained as well. Bathroom was pretty clean with the exception of the toliet flush button. Definitely had not been wiped. There was a leak in the air conditioner that was damaging the hardwood floor and there looked like mold could have been growing there. Overall, we stayed in the room for less than an hour before booking another hotel and moving there. Some of the reviews here make the place seem decent and believe me, it is not. We would have been better off staying at a hostel! Read more

We had a really good experience. With only two days to spend the front desk sent us out with a map highlighted with a great walking tour and a few suggestions. We feel that we were able to make the most of our couple of days. The only "problem" i see with the hotel is that Italian standards aren't American standards. If you want luxury go elsewhere. […] Here was clean, in-room bathroom, well located. Overall a good choice for us. Read more

The Hotel Cinquantatre was reasonably priced, centrally located, conveniently accessible, and the service was prompt, courteous, as well as helpful. The hotel was very small, packed into a vetical building with 14 units, rooftop breakfast (very limited but quick and easy), and neat, clean small rooms with a balcony and day bed. Nice and neat for the […] few hours that you need to sleep while in Rome. Based in a quiet evening part of the city, but conveniently located near many landmarks, local merchants, and great restaurants and other luxury hotels. Overall an affordable and fun stay. Read more

We had a great stay at L'Hotel Cinquantatre. It was in an incredible location and just a short walk from the Metro. The staff was nice and very helpful. They offered restaurant recommendations and made museum reservations for us. The hotel just has about 15 rooms. Our room was small but had all that we needed. The room even contained a mini fridge and […] safe. The bathroom was small and clean but had an odor of mildew after showers were taken. The hotel had a computer with internet that was free to use which was an added bonus. The breakfast at the hotel was simple containing breads, cheese, croissants, crackers, cookies, milk, juice, cereal, coffees, teas. Great find! Read more

It was nothing fancy. It was a small room but perfect for my husband and I. We just went there to sleep and freshin up. It had AC which was important for my husband and rare to find in Rome. The location was great!! Only a couple of blocks from the metro and walking distance to Spanish steps and Fountain of Trevi. There are also lots of restuarants […] and fast food pizza places close by. The continental breakfast wasn't really anything special. The only thing I like about the breakfast was being able to have a cup a coffee out in the patio overlooking the streets of Rome. Read more

Room was small as expected but clean and quiet. Bathroom is split - shower and sink and toilet and bidet, but in very nice condition. Only small individual packet of bath gel provided, hardly enough - had to ration it. Towels could also be better. As expected for small hotels in Rome, elevator is so small - barely big enough for 1 person- that it's […] less hassle to carry your bags up the stairs, as long as one can manage it. Breakfast is served on the small terrace/ top floor (6th) and is pleasant and average (pastries/cereal) by a very friendly lady. It is centrally located within walking distance to the Trevi Fountain and Borghese Gallery, as well as the Spanish Steps. Overall I would rate it a 4 out of 5 for this category and would consider staying again. Read more

Location, location, location! This little hotel is in the best part of Rome you could get. You can walk to all the major sights from here. We were surprized to have found this gem! The staff were all extremely helpful and the breakfasts were good. The room and bathroom size were excellent, bigger that the normal box one gets in the centre of a large […] city! The hotel itself is old, but is kept in excellent condition. There was only one problem in that my husband went for an early morning walk and couldn't get out of the main front door, it took time to arouse the night clerk to be let out. Don't let this put you off, in future we would warn the clerk that we would like to get out of the main door at 6am! This was our third visit to Rome and by far the best accomodation we have ever had. We would recommend it anytime! Read more

Lovely little hotel with friendly helpful staff. Excellent location in a quieter part of Rome, 5 minutes walk from the Trevi Fountain or Spanish Steps.

All in all a nice little […] hotel which I would recommend. Read more

We arrived and were over charged for the transfer we had previosly booked through hotels 4 u! We paid for a superior room and were given a standard room with a bed that was completely un level and the foot was significantly higher than the head. Reception 'reservations manager' had a very sarcastic manner. We arrived back one evening and found the reception […] door open, no receptionist but they had left our room Key on the desk for anyone to take. We left and realised once home that we had left my fiance's shorts. I emailed the hotel and was told they had them but would only post them to us if I emailed my credit card details to cover the cost! Value for money I would say this hotel is below average and as for a welcome gift that was listed on our booking? Well they knew nothing about it! I would not recommend this hotel to anyone unless they are looking for an overpriced dated hotel. The only good thing was the location and the kind breakfast waitress! Read more

Good Points - 1. Reception service was good, very friendly and warm, although there's a need to speak to them slowly in English, otherwise they could give you the wrong information, which was what happened to me. 2. Bed was comfortable, room was large. We were given a room with balcony, really beautiful room on the 5th floor. 3. Breakfast was delicious […] and indeed, a great way to start of the day for me and my family. Just love those croissants! =D 4. Conveniently located, near the Metro station Barberini. Grocery store is about 5 mins walk away. 5. Value for money! Bad Points - 1. Internet access only available at the lobby and not in rooms. Conclusion - A good hotel to stay in for a short visit to Rome. Read more

Spent 3 nights here and the staff were freindly and the air con was good. However we paid for a 'superior' room, given what we had I would hate to see a standrad room (or maybe we got a standard and paid extra for nothing?) Also our booking said a welcome gift on arrival which we didn't get, was told that was due to not booking directly with them. The […] room was tiny and a bit shabby. The toilet and shower weren't overly clean, there were mould spots on that walls near the shower. Also the breakfast wasn't great, just croissants and normal sliced white bread and canned pineapple on 1 day. I would not stay here again. Read more

When we arrived at the hotel we were quite surprised by the size of the hotel and the small elevator which could only accomodate 1 person and a luggage.

Good location very close to the barberini metro station, convenient for us to travel anywhere in the city.
