Atlante Garden Hotel – Řím

Booked this hotel for a 4 night stay with family. The moment we walked into the room, there was a strong smell of dust and dampness - it just didnt feel clean at all. The bedding was old and dusty - our toddler instantly started coughing when we put her in bed and we all suffered from some form of allergic reaction during our stay. The bathroom floor had a large crack through the tiles and the jacuzzi was broken with mould around the tiles. Also, there were no tea / coffee making facilities or even a complementary bottle of mineral water in the room - quite standard across 4 star hotels. On our last night, we were paid a visit by a small lizard which crawled around the walls and ceiling (we have photos). We didnt get any sleep that night and when we asked for a later checkout in the morning, we were unsympathetically offered just an extra hour as they were fully booked (of course!). The only thing going for this hotel is the location. It is a 5 minute walk to the Vatican and within 25 mins of key attractions such as Piazza Navona, Fontana di Trevi etc. The hotel does not deserve a 4 star rating which means the city taxes are higher for no reason at all.

3 blocks to the Vatacin . Good variety of breakfast food. Night desk person Bruno was wonderful. Our room faced an alley which was just fine because it was cool and quiet. Other rooms that faced the street were very noisy. Our bed was very comfortable almost better than home but I prefer a softer bed anyway.

Very poor pressure in shower otherwise very nice hotel

Our stay in Rome was fabulous, and in general the hotel was ok, however the décor & condition could do with an upgrade, without taking away the classic, historical look of the hotel. Our bathroom in particular would benefit from an uplift - the door was very creaky, the Spa bath didn't work and the rest of the furniture & plumbing could do with looking at. It was a little surprising to hear on checking-in that we would have to pay a hotel tax of 12 Euros per night!

We spent just one night here and we enjoyed our stay. Staff was very helpful and friendly. We loved the location of this hotel.
