A Taste of "Real" Roma
This quaint hotel is located on the second floor of a brownstone right off of a little square. The building's old-fashion elevator was a highlight for my 8-year-old son. Luca, at the front desk, highlighted the local favourites. Porta Pia is a quintessential neighbourhood with lots of local trattorias, restaurants and homemade gelato. The #62 bus can be picked up 2 blocks away and takes you to all of the essential areas of the city while the nearest metro stop is a mere 7-minute walk. Hotel Porta Pia is a great way to experience "real" Roma.

Ehh...
It took us 2 hours to find the hotel and parking. The hotel is not well labeled. In our room the wallpaper was peeling off. It was also a non smoking room but smelled like someone had just smoked in it. There was no parking and the parking we found was only good until 9pm. We ended up leaving and not staying the night.

Best hotel in Rome
We had a five night stay booked at an expensive Via Veneto hotel but arrived a day earily. We booked this hotel and loved it. We wish we had stayed at Porta Pia instead. It is very clean, comfortable and in a perfect location. THe staff is friendly and helpful and the free breakfast sure beats the E15 breakfast each on via Veneto. From now on, this will be our hotel in Rome.

Nice find in Rome.
Upon my arrival, I thought uh oh! The hotel is on the 3rd floor of a "non hotel" building in the middle of a block with 3 steps to an old fashioned cage elevator. Don't let that fool you. Upon arrival on the hotel floor, the reception area was pleasant and inviting...the breakfast area neat and functional and the room VERY spacious and well appointed. The bath was a decent size and the room was more than acceptable with a separate sitting area facing the triple windows. The staff was extremely nice. On each trip to Rome I try to find a new hotel to share. This one was within walking distance from the train station and even better, a 3 stop bus ride on 2 lines to Piazza Barberini (at Via Veneto). Overall a clean nice little hotel with lovely staff. A definite recommend!

Too Far From City Center!!
We booked Porta Pia to spend time in the Villa Borghese, but ended up really wanting to be back closer to all the sites of Rome. This hotel was terribly inconvenient for that! We ended up spending more money on cab rides! Rooms were basic, yet clean! Hotel is situated in a weird neighborhood with nothing nearby. Staff was friendly, but overall I wouldn't recommend this unless you are for sure not planning on going to the city! 10 euro cab ride to termini. 50 euros to and from airport!

pas cher et bien situé
l'hotel est bien situé : directement à un coin de rue de l'arret de bus #62 qui fait la boucle sur les principals attrait touristique de la ville. Métro non loin (5 minutes à pied). Déjeuné laisse à désirer et il faut demander de l'eau si on en veux en bouteille pour la chambre. Je recommande cet hotel personnel très très accueilant

Very friendly personel and really worth the money
We booked a double room with two seperate beds. When we came there we got just one bed. The personel gave us then a triple room because there was no other room available, a free upgrade! The location is great, not too busy and loud and close to the metrostation +- 1km. There are restaurants and supermarket, bank in a few meters of the hotel. Breakfast was really bad, bread lied there for hours including the cheese and it was really not much. Also the rooms are good for 3 stars but could need some renovation. But really for this money very good!

Great week at Porta Pia
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Porta Pia: the staff were the loveliest and the rooms tidy and cleaned up every day during my seven nights' holiday. I didn't eat breakfast at the hotel but the 5€ cost doesn't sound too bad. Altogether the hotel was very reasonably priced. Some comments suggested that there would be some noise coming from the other apartments but I wasn't disturbed by any. The neighborhood is charming and nicely a few minutes' bus ride away from the historic center. Full of cosy and great restaurants but only few tourists, and the most beautiful parks at walking distance. There's also a market open every day in the end of the street and several grocery stores around the block. Grazie mille for the week, I'll be back next time when in Rome!

The worst hotel I have exprienced
The washroom was terrible, not yet tidied up on the day i checked in. The soap had been used by someone else. It was so noisy in the morning, the staff sang very loudly and played music in the counter. The service of the staff was poor as well, especially the mid-aged guy who had so many excuse to refuse you request. The worst thing I have to complaint is my credit card was illegally used by a third party after making payment in this hotel. Their credit card machine was unreliable. I received a message that my credit card had paid an online transaction around one hour after I swiped the card to pay the room bill, actually I was on the way to another city at that monent.

Abbiamo soggiornato 3 notti per una visita alla città . L' hotel si trova vicino a porta pia dietro al monumento dei bersaglieri , in 20 minuti a piedi si arriva di fronte al Quirinale e al centro città . Vicine le fermate della metro Castro Pretorio e Repubblica . Hotel gestito da 2 ragazzi giovani e molto simpatici , camere pulite e spaziose , colazione all' italiana . Posizione ottima per pranzo o cena , nelle vicinanze molti ristoranti con l' imbarazzo della scelta

Nöjda
Väldigt trevlig personal som var hjälpsam och svarar på frågor.. gick buss precis utanför och ca 5 min gång till metrostation. (en statipn från termini) fanns supermaket nära och många restauranger och några caféer i närheten. 5-10 min promenad bort fanns roms godaste glass (enligt italienare) ofta kö och godaste glassen vi ätit. la romana heter den. Hotellet va fräscht och låg i ett lugnt område. Inget som störde när man skulle sova. Lite lyhört då man kunde höra grannen ovanpå (italienare, då hotellet ligger i ett bostadshus) prata men det va inte på kvällen/natten. Vi är mycket nöjda med vår vistelse I Rom.
