| Fairly good hotel for the price. Don't expect any kind of services or whatsoever and you won't be disappointed.The rooms are clean and comfortable. The hotel is quite close to Termini station ( 10 mns on foot ) and you can get sometimes a bus to the more exciting places like Campo di Fiori. I wouldn't recommend this hotel in summer though no air conditionning and the district is really noisy. Last advice , learn a bit of Italian before going there ;-) |

| I was quite happy with my stay at Versailles and would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends. The housekeeper, who doesn't speak english at all, was wonderful. Will stay again if I return to Rome. |

| This was absolutely fine for what I wanted - a stop-over for a night in Rome on my way on to Assisi and beyond. It was convenient for the station and my favourite pizzaria and inexpensive. I wouldn't have stayed for any longer but then I wouldn't normally book a one star hotel for more than a night. Breakfast was not included. The lady speaks little English. The toilet was right next door to my room and there was a washbasin in the room, so not having ensuite facilities was not a problem. The shower down the corridor was not hot - but it was such a hot night that I was quite pleased! Overall a very basic hotel but I consider that I got what I paid for |

| Great great great! This was not our first time in Rome and it was perfect, value for money. We stayed there just one night, two days, but it was exactly what we where looking for: cheap, very clean, confortable and spacious room, very nice welcoming and staff very helpfull. We could leave our luggage in deposit for almost one day. The hotel is close to many bus stops and it's possible to get easily everywhere from there. The surroundings are safe and many restaurant, pizzerias, supermarket are there. We will definetly go to Hotel Versailles again next time. |

| Small family hotel, very clean, and conveniently located close to the city center. Manager very nice and helpful. Decoration a bit out-fashioned, but that's a budget hotel, very affordable. What we basically wanted was a convenient, comfortable and clean place to sleep (being in the streets of Rome most of the day :o) and this hotel perfectly met our requirements. Only drawback : rooms on the street side can be noisy, especially when you leave the windows open (no air-con). But globally we were very satisfied with our stay, considering the price we paid (44 euros per night for a double with shared bath). Recommended ! |

| The owner should think more about his personal aspect before he recieves any customer. The hall and the TV room carpet is very dirty. The rooms are clean but are extreamly hot. The location is great because you have the bus stop 5 minutes walking and have good restaurants near by. The pictures that are shown in this site does not correspond to the reality indeed. |

| A nice little family running pension. Rooms are small but very tidy and clean. The same for the public bathroom and toilet. Very nice people working there. Two older men with good English and the "soul" of the house who knows only a few words in English. Good distance from the centre: Roma Termini 15 minutes, Spanish Stairs 20 - 30 minutes by foot! Many bus stops and a metro all 5 minutes by foot away. very important: behind the pension are some supermarkets and cheap but good and cheap, origin restaurants and a marketplace. In conclusion: A perfect Hotel for all cheap travellers who can do without big comfort. This Hotel is for sleeping and that you will do very well! If I go back to Roma I`ll be back in pension Versailles!! Hope to help you searching a good and cheap Hotel in Roma Volker ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Moin, und nun noch mal in meiner Sprache: Also die Pension Versailles ist eine sehr nette, kleine, familiengeführte Pension am Rand der römischen Innenstadt. Die Zimmer sind klein, aber alles vorhanden und sehr sauber. Die betten werden täglich gemacht und wohl auch getauscht (die Handtücher nicht; eigenes Duschtuch sollte im Gepäck sein, wenn ihr kein Zimmer mit Bad habt!"). Die beiden älteren Herren können beide recht bis sehr gut Englisch und geben gerne Auskunft. Sogar Deutsch geht, aber ungern und sehr schlecht. Die gute Seele des Hauses ist aber die Frau, die leider kaum ein Wort englisch kann. Dafür gehe ich jede Wette ein, dass sie die Gemeinschaftstoiletten und Badezimmer mehrmals am Tag putzt. Waren immer im erstklassigen Zustand, obwohl die Pension ausgebucht war. Mein Zimmer ging auf den Innenhof, dort war es sehr ruhig, außer wenn im Pianoladen Abendkonzerte stattfanden. Aber spätestens um 0 Uhr war absolute Ruhe. Die Pension ist ca. 15 Minuten vom Bahnhof Roma Termini und ca. 20 - 30 Minuten von der Spanischen Treppe entfernt. Zu F |

| Fantastic pensione! I normally stay near Piazza di Spagna at a much higher price and lower standard, so this was a pleasant surprise. Extremely good value, large and clean room - no carpet, no smell of cigarette or perfume. Easy to take the bus. Man in reception spoke good English. |

| This was my least favorite place out of 6 budget hotels we stayed in while traveling. First of all, the place smelled TERRIBLE. I actually had to hold my breath when I was walking in the hallways and had to buy air freshener. Also, we were not aware that towels were only provided for rooms with private bathrooms. They gave us hand towels that were actually like paper. We weren't even sure if they were towels. Also, someone wasn't sitting at the desk all night, so to get back in your room late at night they told us just to go behind the desk and take the key... which means ANYONE could have gone behind the desk and taken our key at night. This made us very uneasy. Also, upon our departure, the man at the desk was very annoyed that we wanted to pay in credit card and creepily swiped the card 3 times (needless to say we'll be carefully checking our credit card bill.) He then proceeded to insult us and tell us that we were foolish, saying "no no no no no!," to spend 3 nights in Florence and only 2 nights in Rome. I think our travel decisions are none of his business, and it was especially rude to insult us as we were giving him our money. On the "good" side, the place was in a safe location, the sheets were clean (the bedspread, however, had holes in it and was disgusting), and the shared bathroom was pretty clean too. There is also a cute dog who lives there, so people who are allergic might want to beware. I wouldn't stay here again, though I'll miss the cute dog. |

| It was in a really good part of the city, Bus is better to take then the metro, because the metro is further away from the hotel and you have to walk aways to get to it. The hotel is really clean, family owned. The guy who owns it is really nice and helpful. would definetly stay again. |

| Stayed there for two nights and it worked out for us. Had a simple breakfast and the location was good. 10 minute walk to the Duomo and Uffizi. It was quiet and found the best panini place across the street... |

| This hotel is very small. Only 6 or 7 rooms. Sharing the toilet and shower was not a big deal. The girl who cleans the place is very nice! Stay at this place if you are trying to save money. Would like to see a television in the rooms. |

| The staff was very nice and the room clean and accommodating. The beds were a bit too hard making sleep difficult. There were no phones available nor internet access. Also, there was no mention in the on-line information that this was a cash-only establishment. Additionally, a family member needed to contact me with an emergency and the individual answering the phone for the hotel did not speak any English, nor did anyone tell us that someone had actually tried to reach us. Needless to say, this caused a great deal of anxiety and frustration for us all. Overall, the hotel was lovely but the lack of communication availability and the fact that it was a cash-only establishment made out stay less than optimal. |

| Great hotel. The woman who works there was very helpful. Whenever you have a question, you never have to look for her. There's a bus stop right outside the hotel and there were several restaurants nearby. |

| If you need a cheap place to stay, this worked out well. Clean, but with a shared bathroom. Taxi stand right there, and it was 3euro to get to Via Veneto, and 12euro to the Vatican. Not necessarily the place you take your family, but if you are mobile, this is a good value. |

| Ok hotel, but we had a room giving directly on the 'lobby' of the pension, so even as the pension is small, it was not fully quiet. The shared bathrooms are clean but aged. The rooms are spacious, but without airco, and opening on a large noisy avenue. It was fine for November but i would definitely avoid it during summer season. For the price don't expect much, but for a short stay it is fairly enough. |
