| Insieme a tre amici/e abbiamo prenotato una quadrupla 15 gg prima del concerto di Madonna...e ci siamo trovati BENISSIMO! Il Sig. alla Reption è stato gentilissimo, ci ha fornito tutte le indicazioni utili per andare e tornare dallo Stadio Olimpico, anche mediante stampe da internet, ci ha poi fornito numeri di telefono utili per girare comodamente Roma in macchina a costi convenienti! Così abbiamo potuto lasciare la ns. macchina nel parcheggio gratuito (e tranquillo) dell'Hotel. Anche il prezzo della camera era molto onesto (a differenza dei rincari generali degli altri hotel in prospettiva del concerto). Le camere hanno un arredamento molto esiguo e datato, pareti e porti sottili, ma cose essenziali come tapparelle, scarichi del bagno, aria condizionata funzionanti e pulizia c'erano tutti. Lo consiglio a tutti i giovani visitatori di Roma, che cercano convenienza e cordialità! |

| It is very near a railway freight depot, with trains going past every 15 minutes all through the night. Don't get a room on the railway side. Also, if like me you don't have a car and walk everywhere, it's at the top of a very steep hill. It's also a long way out of Rome. |

| The staff is extremely nice and helpful, we spoke only Italian and that might have had something to do with it. The location is horrible, but when you are cheap like me and make a reservation 2 days in advance it's hard to complain. |

| First time staying near the embassies. Nice hotel on a small hill with nice view. Very quiet area, but there isn't anything (shops, restaurants, etc) in walking distance. Attached restaurant very spacious, quick service, excellent food (and large portions), so not being in walking distance of things wasn't a problem. |

| The hotel personnel are nice and helpful. The breakfast is the regular sweet cookies, no cereal nor fruits. The area is quiet and safe. I recommend chosing this hotel if you have a car, although that you should use only to get to the train or to the buses. The train is quicker, but goes rarely or even omitted sometimes, so I opted for the bus that took us to the center in 40 minutes. I recommed having a dinner in the hotel's restaurant where you find good food and welcoming local atmosphere. |

| En líneas generales bien. Sin embargo el restaurante es carísimo para el servicio y comida ofrecida. Además me sentí en parte timado ya que el segundo día no se nos mostró la carta, sino que se nos ofreció un menú. Dicho menú, que se nos relató de palabra, constaba de dos primeros y dos segundos (spaguetti y calamares rebozados)a elegir un plato de cada. El precio final 67 euros para dos personas. Para mí un timo, ya que se nos dijo en recepción que era muy barato. Además comparado con los precios de Roma fue desorbitante para un hotel de 3 estrellas. El trato dispensado por el personal de recepción fue exquisito pero el engaño del restaurante dejó en nosotros un mal sabor de boca. Yo no lo recomiendo. |

| Hotel muy bonito y muy agradable la atención de su personal. Facil acceso para el tren y bus, hacia Roma. El tiempo de este trayecto es de 45 - 55 min. Estuvimos un grupo de 3 personas durante 3 días, por asuntos de trabajo, mesclando con paseos por la ciudad. |

| Ottimo hotel,buona la qualità-prezzo considerando che in altri posti chiedono 100euro a notte per una doppia in ostello. Buona colazione,buon ristorante annesso all'hotel. Personale disponibile, unica considerazione a sfavore è la posizione, da termini con bus ci vogliono circa 40minuti. |

| Mario the host was excellent-he unfortunatley is the only one that speaks english-however his help was excellent. The only thing that let the place down was the Restaurant-once you were seated, you were forgotten. We found the waiter spent more time with the Italian speaking guests than us. The wine was great, but the food was................We spent 3 nights at the hotel-this was our first trip. |

| Very pleased with service and rooms. People at reception were very helpfull. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Good for people traveling with own car, but wanting to visit Rome using public transport. When going to train station, we recommend driving an parking next to the station - it will save you from long climb back to hotel! |

| As a Latin teacher I have been to Rome on several occasions. During those occasions I have stayed at several hotels. However, though Villa Spada Hotel was about an hour commute outside the city center, IT WAS THE BEST HOTEL I'VE EVER STAYED IN WHILE IN ROME! The staff knew my name without me giving it to them, the restuarant staff was amazing! In fact, I would have eatten at the hotel then any other restaurant, as the food was good and the price for it resonable! If you want to escape the crowd in the city, STAY AT VILLA SPADA, also if you don't mind the commute. My girlfriend and I stayed there and it was perfect!.....................Das Hotel, Villa Spada, war so, so perfect! Die Zimmer waren nicht schmitzig und das Bett war wunderbar! Ich bleibte in anderen Hotels aber das Hotel Spada so wunderschoen war! Wenn ich war Sie, dann sage ich Sie BLEIBEN SIE IN VILLA SPADA!!!.............................Io sono un prof di Latino in America, allora sono stato a Roma tante volte, e penso che il albergo Villa Spada era fantastico, il ottimo albergo fuori la citta. Il ristorante era molto buono, il cibo, vino, etc.. e le persone che lavoranno li sono simpatici e sanno la citta molto bene. Le stanze erano sempre polliti ogni giorno e il letto era abbstanza bene. Ti dico che questo albergo daverro e un albergo MOLTO MOLTO FANTASTICO! |

| Clean and simple hotel with very friendly staff. The hotel is in the suburbs so car is, according to me, indispensable. With car it is 10-15 minutes to the central parking close to piazza di spagna, it's perfect if you want to save money on the hotel and do not mind driving a bit. Without car I guess it can take ages, and some areas are not so nice to walk into at night, I would not recommend it to back packers. Of course the surroundings are not particularly fascinating, the hotel is in the suburbian area of villa spada, not so bad, though, because located on a hill. Breakfast is good and consistent. It is possible to eat at night in the restaurant downstairs, fair prices, quite good quality. |

| The showers were very small and ones with shower doors were hard to get in and out of the small entrance. Some of the shower heads need to be cleaned or replaced. The double beds are really 2 twins together which results in a hump in the middle of the bed, which can be uncomfortable. The staff went out of their way to help us with our luggage and letting us use their computer to access the internet when needed. Some of the rooms were noisy. Overall the stay was very nice. The staff were very nice ad always helpful with restaurants and directions. |
