Hotel Invictus

Our trip started off badly to begin with since Orbitz wouldn't fix a booking error between our original hotel. The staff was OK except for the Indian guy who worked the front desk; he was tremendously rude and made us feel like an inconvenience. The hotel is a dump, bad location from most of the major sites in the historical center. You have to ring the front desk just to get into the building, the elevator is "shaky" at best, and the computer in the hallway didn't even work. Not to mention the horrible smell from the restroom; the entire trip (5 nights) we were nauseated by the smell of sewer gas. We were forced to run the water all night just to be able to stay in the room. The hotel staff did not accomodate our needs and blamed it on the old building. The AC didn't work the whole trip and the TV wouldn't until the rude Indian guy finally came up to the room to troubleshoot the problem. The room did not have hangers to hang our clothes and the cleaning staff did not always bring fresh towels when they made up the room. This hotel is not worth the stay; its way too far from the main sites and its not worth the hassel. I love Rome and this was my 3rd time visiting... I'd just hope that if you are debating chosing this hotel you take this negative comments seriously when making your final decision. Very dissapointed with my stay here...

Having read the mixed reviews I was left pondering on our decision to stay! However we found the staff very helpful, the rooms of a very decent standard-newly refurbished and beds very comfortable and bathrooms well appointed. Full modern airconditioning was also available. Breakfast in the area set aside for it was very pleasant and the fresh bread (from the bakery opposite the hotel) was great along with fresh coffee, yoghurts and cereals. The location was good sited near several decent restaurants and within a short walk to the Metro and sights. Typically the rooms were sited in a larger building with an interesting vintage lift-only criticism was the PC used for the internet-slowww! Highly recommended -good value for money!

Quiet hotel on a quiet street, but close to many bars, restaurants and Termini station. Friendly personnel. All questions before trip were answered promptly. The room was exccellent considering the price. Spacious with nice furniture, with a french balcony.. Cleaning every day, and changing of towels, which is the only negative, since I find it unneccessary and unecological to change almost clean towels daily. There is a machine at the hotel where one can buy snacks, coffee and water etc.

Great location, staff from front desk to ladies who do the rooms courteous, rooms comfortable, CLEAN , for sure there is wear and tear, if you want perfection, PAY FOR IT ! Did not have the breakfast in hotel, went to the bar on the opposite corner. Must admit was put off by some reviews on here but had great stay, no complaints, only compliments to the manager and his team, Well done ! Will be back.
