    Hotel Turner has free wireless internet. The hotel location is acceptable (within 2 bus stops to Roma Terminal - about 10 mins), not a bad starting point to local attractions. The hotel room is small and looks dated with wall cushions/wallpapers, the bathroom was tiny and close to unbearable. If I had a choice again I would have spent the extra money for a name brand hotel closer to the city.

    Worst hotel out of all the places I stayed in Italy. The only good thing was the hotel staff was friendly and there was free internet use. The hotel looks nothing like the pictures except the main lobby. Our room was extremely tiny, even for European standards. Our A/C did not work, our room did not have any soap or shampoo in it when we got there. The bathroom is beyond rediculously small. I'm not a big person but this was horrible. The toilet seat was wedged between a wall and the shower. Both my shoulders couldn't fit between the wall and shower sitting down. I'm only 5'9" and 150 lbs. You do the math on how much room there was. Oh and the toilet paper was on the other wall across the bathroom. That was always a fun reach. The shower was no joke, 2' x 2'. I could barely fit in it. The hallways as well as the room looked old and dingy. I loved everywhere else I stayed in Italy except this place. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! If you book this place know that you have been given a fair warning of how bad the place is. I stayed in youth hostels nicer than this "4 Star" hotel. This is not even close to a 2 star hotel. Oh, and it's not near any main sites. This place was terrible!

Description

See more details

Location. The baroque-style Turner Hotel is housed in a former 19th-century palace and lies 200 metres from Porta Pia Square, which connects the Via Nomentana shopping district to the ancient sights of Rome's city centre. Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) is 25 kilometres away, around 40 minutes by car.

Hotel Features. Marble floors, gold crown moulding, chandeliers, and damask wallpaper adorn the sitting room where guests may watch television or browse complimentary newspapers on velvet sofas. Guests can start the day with a continental breakfast (surcharge), and drinks are served in the bar.

A fitness centre, Venice Gym, featuring cardiovascular classes and machines and weight machines is 200 metres from Turner Hotel and guests may purchase a daily ticket. Dabliu Parioli, one kilometre from the hotel is a full-service health centre with swimming pool, sauna and steam room, aerobics and spinning classes, and weight and cardiovascular machines.

Guestrooms. The hotel was formerly a noble's palace and the 47 guestrooms are spread over five floors. Antique furnishings, damask wallpaper, and chandeliers adorn each opulent room, and high windows are dressed with long damask drapes. All rooms come with air conditioning, minibars, satellite television, direct dial phones, safes, and hair dryers.

Expert Tip. The innovative architectural design of Porta Pia Square, 200 metres away, was commissioned to Michelangelo by Pope Pio IV Medici in 1561 and shows a transition from Renaissance to Baroque style. Only Michelangelo's design for the internal façade was executed, and popular belief is that the symbols allude to Pio's origins not from the famous Florentine family but from a family of Milanese barbers.
