Roccantica Holidays

The rooms were outdated and carpeting was a little dusty

A very nice hotel , located right by the villa Torlonia ( a very stunning park to walk around) the area feels generally safe and the hotel is secure and gated. On arrival we was greeted by a lovely reception lady who was very helpful and prepared us for our stay ahead and explained everything we needed to know. The rooms were lovely , double room nice and spacious , beds were very comfy , 2 big large wardrobes a safe , mini bar , hair dryer etc the staff were helpful and cleaned rooms to high standard each day Breakfast was nice on the 4th floor which has a terrrace overlooking the park which is stunning - the breakfast selection was good a classics continental breakie - toast, crossiants, hams , cheeses , bread , variety of cake selections, fresh fruit , juices , hot drinks, the staff were also very lovely and greeted us each morning. The hotel is near public transport metro line Bologna which is roughly 5 min walk which takes you to where main sites are. We used the hop on // hop off buses which it takes around 20mins to walk to Termini Station walk through to the other side where you will find stop 1 for this service. If you like walking most sites from the hotel are 40 mins . Overall we had a very pleasant stay here and all the staff were welcoming and friendly- not sure why there’s negative reviews nothing but positives from us so thank you hotel d’elle civette

Nice small hotel at a reasonable price, very close to Vatican/Castel St. Angelo and easy to walk to the other locations, also with a metro station nearby. Also close to restaurants. Room/Breakfast are simple but enough. I would stay again for a short trip in Rome (we were a family of four, spending the day enjoying the city, going to the hotel only to sleep). Reception staff was also very helpful (the lady provided us a map with the main points when we arrived, and always addressed quickly any issues we had).

We enjoyed our stay. The pool was lovely even though I only got to dive in and get out immediately. The pool closes at 19:00, and I had arrived after a very hot day touring Rome at 5 till. The room was always clean and fresh, with towels when we returned. The breakfast was plentiful. Eggs, bacon (not quite fully cooked... Not sure if that's an "Italian" thing... Odd. Alot of bread and pastry, deli meats, juices and an espresso machine. The only down side of the hotel is that it is at the very tip top of Trastevere. It's not just a hill to climb... It's MANY hills and steps to climb and my 74 year old mother made it once with extreme difficulty. So while only a few minutes walk to many places to eat in Trastevere... You will be walking back up hill to the hotel... And will need a shower upon return. Yes, even in October. 30 minutes to Roma Termini at 8am on weekday, Via Taxi/Uber. 20-25ish minutes to coloseum mid-day weekday. 45-50 mins from. FCU. 9:30 weekday.

The front desk was very helpful.. always assist us with taxi to the center
