Gastgebruiker

This was part of a 6 nations rugby package Italy vs England, through an events organiser. We knew nothing about the hotel apart from the fact that it was supposed to be 3* . When we arrived we were absolutely astounded by how tatty the rooms were, the lack of hot water, the broken furniture, the one clothes hanger in the wardrobe (which was falling apart), the stains in the shower and toilet ...Get the picture? Then we looked at the electrics. Wall sockets were loose with exposed wires. I note the comment from a previous person about hostels. I have stayed in far better hostels than this but we were being charged 3* hotel prices. The area it is in is pretty run down. It is a long way from the centre of Rome (penultimate stop on the metro) and there is no way we would or could have eaten in central Rome in the evening to return to this place. We were a group of 4 and have all travelled extensively and been in very simple accommodation in developing or remote areas.. None of us have any problems with that - the issue here was that it was advertised as a 3* hotel and we were paying 3* prices . We were being ripped off. We found a 4* hotel in central Rome that still had 2 rooms left, advertised at only a bit more than the rooms in this awful place. So we left. When we told the concierge, he was so unconcerned that I thought he had not understood, so I repeated, making it clear that we were not coming back. His only comment was - "leave the keys on the counter"! I suppose he is used to people leaving! We are currently in dispute with the travel company. We really enjoyed the rest of the weekend and had a great stay in the Hotel Metropole near Termini, which is very central in Rome.
