Colonna Palace Hotel

Cet hôtel est idéalement situé à Rome. Il est confortable, le personnel est accueillant et, cerise sur le gâteau, le petit déjeuner est servi sur une terrasse au dernier étage de l'hôtel ce qui offre un panorama sur la ville assez unique.

L'hôtel n'a pas vraiment de caractère. Le hall, salon et bar sont très sombres. Les chambres sont simples. Il faut éviter les chambres en dessous de la salle du petit déjeuner car dès 6 heures du matin vous entendez les aller et venues du personnel... Les + : La terrasse pour le petit déjeuner avec son point de vue. L'emplacement de l'hôtel très pratique.

We were unsure about this holiday as we chose the secret saver deal. When we found out which one it was we couldn't be more happier. Breakfast was included which was very nice, though no restaurant however plenty of places to eat. Staff were extremely helpful throughout our week stay.

Colonna Palace is located centrally within walking distance of many sights, but as it's located across Parliament, taxis cannot stop at any entrance and you will have to walk (although I would try to avoid taxis in Rome, or at least be aware of the different scams!) This being Roma, political demonstrations seem to be a daily occurrence, so the area around the hotel/the square it shares with the Parliament building is constantly blockaded - you'll have to explain to the police why you need to enter. On the plus side (few and far between at this hotel), got to see a marching band performance in front of Parliament one morning. Check in was fine, and the lady was nice enough. Room was of a decent size, but saying it was dated would be an understatement (actually the entire hotel has probably seen better days). Everything was showing wear and tear, and the safe wasn't working. Fortunately, the bathroom was updated relatively speaking, and clean. Lots of creaking and banging at night, not to mention sirens and terrible sound-proofing, so don't expect restful sleep. Checkout was terribly inefficient, as most front desk staff insist on playing the classic Italian game of "let's see how long I can pretend I can't see or hear the guest standing in front of me". When they do deem you worthy of acknowledgment, their attitude is dismissive at best. Not a pleasant stay overall, and would not recommend.

Stuff at the front desk wasn't freindly. The breakfast was very basic . When we were about to leave the hotel we were told that there was an additional city tax of 3 euro per guest per night that we weren't aware of.

good experience, staff spoke good English and were helpful when asked for information

Excellent location. Moderate noise from street. WiFi €7 for 24hrs. Very friendly staff.

You can't beat the hotel on its location. The roof garden is lovely for breakfast, and the staff are helpfull, and the bed sheets were clean. Sadly it stopped there. The pictures on line isn't what you get in real life. Our first night our rooms were facing a side road which was very noicey. We did move rooms and it was quiter. ( but in Rome you'll find it hard to get a quite room) The furniture really needs replacing, very old and tired. The beds are really hard, along with the pillows. The bathrooms have just been done, but not being looked after, black mould growing around the shower. This wasn't in just one room it was in 4 rooms we saw this, (we were a group off three with 2 rooms, and we both changed rooms). The hotel over all was very tired and out dated. Over priced bar, €4 for a tea. Noisey air con.
