Atlante Star Hotel hotel description>>

A hot, noisy closet of a room at a ridiculous price
Reviewer: Rome visitor, Toronto Canada

The internet pictures made the rooms look lovely. When we arrived the desk clerk told us the only room available was in the basement. A dark, dingy, linoleum-tiled room with two single beds which you could just barely walk around. There was no tub, just a dirty shower stall.I was furious and went upstairs to tell him that this was totally unacceptable. Somehow a room had become vacant on the first floor. Again, it was extremely tiny, but at least it had a decent bathroom and was decorated nicely. The problems occured when we tried to sleep. Since there seemed to be no air conditioning, we were forced to sleep with the small window open, which faced a noisy, smelly alley of fire escapes strewn with drying laundry hanging on lines. The noise kept us up both nights. We were just glad to get out of there.This was May, 2003, and we're going back to Rome to visit our son in a few weeks, but we won't be staying there!The only good thing about the hotel was the wonderful view at breakfast on the top floor looking out towards St. Peter's. It was lovely. The waiter was friendly and attentive. Too bad the whole experience wasn't like breakfast.

This place is a dump--don't believe the pix on the website

This place is a dump. Noisy, bad beds, dim room, leaky tub. Thought it was going to be really nice place--website is totally misleading. You will be disappointed.

Pleasant Stay!

I had a great stay, the service was excellent and I had no problems at all during my week in Rome. My husband and I enjoyed ourselves quite a bit and the hotel is easily accessible to all that Rome has to offer, and it was for the vicinity of the vatican that we went for it. We enjoyed the hospitality at the Atlante and we will definitely be back for another stay. A great + for the breathtaking terrace and for the excellent breakfast.
